Congrats on your new machine! It is very nice looking and my local vac shop says wonderful things about the new machines.

I was wondering if you have tried any of the Miele canisters prior to the S5 line? I have the Red Velvet and the swivel hose connection on the canister is just awful, it makes it rather difficult to steer the machine around. Do you find the machine easy to steer now that the canister end of the hose does not swivel?

Happy Vacuuming!

Hi Steven Thanks so much no I haven't tried any prior mieles at all. I wanted a Red velvet at first but then when the S series came out, I really like there style more then the Red velvet style. Yes the s series is so easy to manuver around I have no problems at all. I have been told by some who have the Red velvet that they much prefer the S Series so I guess I made a good choice after all

Skip,
What type of carpeting do you have? low, medium, thick? I was just wondering how easy the Aquarius is to manoeuvre on higher pile carpeting?

Gary would you believe I have all 3. In my computer room I have very thick carpeting, in the Den low pile and in the bedrooms medium pile and the aquarius does great on all 3 piles

Good to hear

I was thinking that the wheels were pretty small and therefore the main unit wouldn't move easily on thicker pile carpeting.
