Introduction to Miele Callisto S5281 Deep Black Canister Vacuum Cleaner
Our customers love the Miele Callisto, as it represents one of the best values within the Miele S5 mid-sized series. Superior Hepa filtration is a given, and its sleek new styling and extra large fiber vacuum bags and mid-sized (10.5") Powerbrush 217-3 give it enough suction to tackle deep pile carpets. We also offer it with the full-sized (13 3/8") Powerbrush 236 for those who want a larger powerbrush with 5 height adjustments. Sharp new Euro styling, a silence setting for ultra quiet vacuuming, rubber bumpers to protect your furniture and large 29.5 foot cleaning radius, are all state of the art features. The Miele Callisto vacuum cleaner also includes a luxury parquet bare floor brush for your hardwood floors.

Pluses:
The Callisto is a great value for the price. It lacks some of the luxury features of the Capricorn and Aquarius, but has the same quality Miele design and construction.
The Callisto provides your walls protection from marks and dings with its integrated rubber PVC bumper guards.
We applaud the silence insulation which is standard in the S5 models, allowing for a more peaceful vacuuming experience for the operator and whole family!
The S5’s come standard with the new Parquet Floor brush, with a new improved swivel design which is most helpful when cleaning in hard to reach areas like under the bed. The Parquet Floor Brush has been redesigned with shorter natural bristles and spaces between the bristle sections to provide for maximum suction and longer life.
Active HEPA filter and Miele’s sealed system design allow the Callisto to provide excellent air quality as you vacuum.
The larger 4.67 qt. dust bags are great not only because they hold more reducing the frequency of having to replace bags, but they also make the vacuum more efficient.
The handy dust bag change indicator tells you when your bag is full and needs to be replaced. No more guessing games.
Callisto weights in at 13.5 lbs. (not including a floor tool) making it easy to maneuver and carry up stairs.
Minuses:
The mid-sized 10.5" power brush SEB 217-3 is good for uniform height wall to wall carpet, but not so good if you have lots of pet hair or need the more powerful, deep suction provided by the full-sized 13 3/8" power brush 236.
The Callisto is not the luxury model of the S5’s so it lacks special features like +/- suction controls and a filter change indicator. The Callisto has a manual rotary dial which is located down on front of the canister.
Summary:
The Callisto proves to be a great value for the price. Ranking third in the middle of the S5 series, the Callisto is still a strong 4-star convenient and user friendly vacuum. The Callisto proudly represents the Miele S5 series, exhibiting the same quality design expected from Miele, with an Active HEPA filter, large and very efficient 4.76 qt. HyClean dust bag, dust bag change indicator, sealed system design, silence insulation, integrated rubber PVC bumpers guards and ability to fit with multiple floor tools and accessories. The Callisto packaged with the mid-sized 10.5" power brush 217-3 at the cheaper price point is great for houses with a combination of bare floors and uniform carpeting that doesn’t require the extra suction power of the full-sized 13 5/8" power brush 236.
