Nearly $100 cheaper than any other Miele cleaner I can find in Oz. Miele cleaners are consistently reported as the most reliable by Choice magazine so it's a bargain for me.
Won't be getting it though because I spent about $350 on a Bosch from Amazon Germany (699 in Hardly Normal), mainly at my wife's insistence that "vacuum cleaners for women are like cars for men.. you HAVE to have a nice one". Sometimes I'm really really happy that I married the woman I did ;-)
If the wife wants a good vacuum cleaner how can a husband say no
It's definitely cheaper than buying her a car.
Kaichongjee… Two words that save a lot of trouble… "yes dear". :-)
last time i went into Godfreys to get this vaccum cleaner, they keep on wanting me to get the more expensive one, telling me this $199 vaccum is small, underpowered, and useless.
they did the same to me too, saying the vac that I wanted to purchase was not powerful enough to clean a small apartment and would likely overheat and blow up.. then came the spiel on a vac $200 more… Never again.
Should ask them why they are stocking supposedly shoddy appliances…see what they have to say about that
That sucks…
Is this a better cleaner than this one: http://www.eljo.com.au/miele-2200w-vacuum-cleaner-s5211-1.ht… ?
This is s5211 selling for $281 local.
s381 is the bottom of the Miele range and s5211 is this mainstream mid-range:

Think Holden Barina vs Commodore. I currently have a s5211 and it's great.
We have one too (s5211), brilliant machine… got the power head as well. We thought we had a good vacuum cleaner before (sanyo bagless) but the Miele is a different class altogether.
Agreed, we have the S5311 and it's simply fantastic! I was thinking about getting the power head but given the price ($200?), I'm not sure if it's really worth it.
With the sucking power of the S5211 the turbo head is all you need.
Most other vacs fail with turbo heads as they lose power, not so with the Miele.
s381 is the bottom of the Miele range
But it's 50% off, meaning it would normally go for $400, which is more than the s5211… Are they just pulling a Shoppingsquare 80% off RRP thing but with inflated RRP?
Choice has the S5211 with the following details:
Scored 81/100
Good points:
• Good at picking up dirt from carpet.
• Very good at cleaning corners and along edges.
• Excellent at removing pet hair.
• Good range of tools with on-board storage for all of them.
• Very good, long wand.
• Excellent bag;easy to remove/replace.
• Variable power.
The s381 wasn't reviewed
What's the highest scoring machine with Choice?
My mistake the review on Choice was for the S5311 (which I have just ordered from the Good Guys for $377.
The highest mid-range models all scored 81/100 and they were Bosch Free'e Animal, Electrolux Ultra Active, Miele S5311, Miele S6320, Miele S4812.
I think good guys had it for around $260??
I got a white S5211 (includes turbo head) from HN and a pkt of bags for $320 all up.
Might be a good vacuum, just remember the $4-5 cost of bags. Adds up pretty quickly if you vacuum a lot.
