I vacuumed my neighbors house using the Miele with the turbo she has to rooms of High Plus and Low commercial and oriengtal......no problem. YOu dont have to have TOL. All S5 has the same amount of power. If you would ever decide to update you can buy a electric hose,wand and power nozzle. Its no problem.
Miele cord winders are pulled out and retracted 300,000 times. Tom and I figured if you vacuum once a day for 100 years you may wear out the cordwinder. THat hose is industructable

Your white star was from the old range. They only had 1100 watts. The new ones have another 100. Mine will suck the paint of the wall. If I dont keep the parquet twister moving I have to open the air valve and then use it because it seals itself to the floor.
