Quite possibly the BEST vacuum!
By Mom2Lilli
I bought this vacuum to replace my Dyson "Animal" upright. That was a great vacuum as well but became increasingly harder to push and I couldn't get into corners or under furniture with it. I have never owned a canister before but thought it might be easier on my back. After much research and consideration I went ahead and bought the UniQ. I LOVE it!!! It is extremely powerful - at least as much so as my Dyson - and is so much easier to handle. And QUIET! The "wand" is telescoping so I can stand up straight which is a huge help on my back. The power head attachment is very powerful and easy to maneuver. It also lays flat to get under furniture. The lights on the front are very bright and help you too see what needs to be cleaned. The power cord automatically recoils which, again, saves my back. This is a pricey vacuum but so worth it. It seems to be extremely well made and I am expecting many, many years of use. I don't like having to change the bags but it's a small trade off.

By Git-r-Dun
Pros* I have owned previous "true HEPA" vacuum cleaners but noticed a critical difference with this unit: My allergies went away. Totally.* Perfect, 0 ppm, lab-grade filtration.* Superb materials, build quality, and fit-n-finish.* Velvet bumper protects woodwork and furniture, while the swivel wheels prevent contact in the first place.* Rigid, positive locking, stainless steel wand.* Paced, one-touch cord retract mechanism is superior to any I have ever experienced.* Light base unit encourages me to just carry it when doing stairs.* Unusually quiet electric carpet head.* Perfectly flat profile allows cleaning under almost any furniture, no matter how close to the floor.* Handle-mounted controls.* Very light, uncrushable hose with swivels on both ends.* Classy, real metal satin-finished trim on the base unit.* Attachments, wand, and hose are oversized (although this is hard to perceive). The result is exceptional, 94 CFM airflow. This rivals, even exceeds, the cleaning power of commercial back-pack vacuums.* Unusually long 5-year warranty. Absolutely no problems experienced, and none expected.Cons* Overpriced by $300 for what you get.* Handle controls can be accidentally brushed, shutting off the unit, because they aren't recessed.* Attachments are expensive.* LEDs on the base unit are silly, unnecessary, and a poor excuse for the inflated price.Suggestions* Recess handle-mounted controls to avoid accidental button-pressing.* Add slots on the bottom that mate to an optional backpack platform so the base unit can be worn. Given its small size, lightness, and quietness, this is a natural application. A terrific value-added feature, and easy for Miele to implement.Summary Appraisal* Miele offers a unit with a less-sophisticated carpet head, no hand-mounted controls, and manual speed control selectable on the base unit for about $1000. Same fundamental mechanicals and better value.* Uniq is great for people like me who value luxury appliances.* The high (perhaps excessive) initial price will be forgotten over time as the perfect filtration and exceptional user experience become welcome habits.

Fancy features but lacks performance when the going gets tough
By KJB
Pros: Quiet: It is amazingly quiet. The motor produces lots of suction and the filtration system is awesome. Quality of handle is excellent.Important considerations: Price @ $1500 I expected unmatched performance, reliability and a company that provides excellent support.Cons: The powerhead made noise out of the box. After about 5 uses, it was clearly defective. I called the company, which has no support on the weekend or after normal business hours, and spoke to Jim in New Jersey. His first task was to lecture me for purchasing on Amazon. He was unfamiliar with the powerhead on the model. (First, he said I didn't have the proper head and when I informed him that only one head comes with it his response was "oh yeah... You got the big boy" I asked for a head replacement and exchange he refused then he lamented over the price saying "that's a $300 head"My response was "exactly" I then informed Jim of the extended warranty and all I wanted was to have the head replaced. He then accused Amazon of attempting to sell warranties (What... Amazon's selling warranties now?) until I made him read his own literature. His solution: I was directed to a local dealer to get a repair on a brand new vacuum. Let me repeat, I was sent to a dealer to have an out-of-the-box defective part repaired not replaced. I went to the local dealer. When I got there I was told that I should try another brand of vacuum. He suggested a Riccar. I gave up on Miele. (Total waste of time was about 4.5 hours)Thanks to Amazon I returned the Miele and got a wonderful Sebo.Summary:This vacuum can be awesome if the head doesn't fail, or if it's no big deal to have a pretty short cord. It's quite and powerful. The filtration is awesome. The company representative I spoke with sounded like a sleazy salesman with a bad script. He didn't know his product and he attempted to be a "know it all"... How utterly disappointing I was in this company for employing such a tool. This, along with the quick failure, price, proprietary short hose and short cord is the reason for the low rating. I hope the company addresses these issues because it's such a nice vacuum.
