Miele S5381 Leo Vacuum Cleaner Description
Miele might make some great vacuum cleaners, but trying to tell the differences between the various models they offer can be confusing. They all look alike, the models numbers are similar, so deciding which is the right choice for you takes some research.
When comparing the Miele Leo to the other models in the S5 Galaxy line, you really only need to ask yourself two questions. First, what type of floor tool does it come with? And second, what kind of controls does the vacuum have and where are they located?
Really, that's the big difference between the Miele S5 vacuum cleaners.
The Miele Leo S5381 comes equipped with the following:
- SEB217 Electric Powerbrush Floor Tool (or can upgrade to SEB236)
- Foot/Step Controls
The foot/step controls offer footswitch controls that allow you to operate the vacuum without having to bend down.
Other features of the Miele Leo vacuum cleaner are shared among all Miele S5 vacuums. These include a HEPA filter, telescopic wand, 1300-watt Vortex motor, a hardwood floor tool (parquet tool), a dusting brush, mattress tool, and crevice tool.

Positive Customer Reviews
The Miele Leo vacuum cleaner is worth every single penny. If you have pets, allergies, or asthma, the Leo is the vacuum cleaner you want. There simply isn't another vacuum that offers a sealed HEPA Filter this good.

With the press of a button I can adjust the suction and go from area rugs to throw rugs to my drapes. It tackles my Weimaraner's short hairs imbedded in the fabric of the couch and rugs with ease. But I can also vacuum my plant leaves without shredding them.
-- Cheri
The price caught my husband off guard but since he has witnessed the Miele's power and cleaning ability first hand, how powerful it is and how good a job it does with the dog hair, he has seen the light and even has helped with the cleaning.

Negative Customer Reviews
The only downside of the Miele leo is the price. That SEB236 Power Nozzle can cost more than some vacuum cleaners alone.
-- Kim
