I am looking to purchase a canister vacuum for our home with mostly hard wood flooring and have gone to several vacuum shops to try out different vacuums and was told today that the Miele brand vacuums may be quiet but are not powerful at all. Miele had been my first choice because they are very quiet but after the sales reps spill today I'm not so sure. Just wanted to see what others thought before I purchase. Any thoughts or reccomendations would be greatly appreciated.

do not get a dyson. seriously, don't. i've only read bad things, AND our trusted vacuum shop has a trade in one with a sign on it that says something like "not for sale, i wouldn't sell this crap." orek is light and quieter but only really picks up surface/visible dirt. i have a kirby, maybe overkill and overpriced, but wonderfully powerful (but loud). check out reviews on amazon.com and epinions.com as you continue searching, and trust the advice of your local independent vacuum repair/sale shops, they know a LOT more than anyone else on the topic and might have a higher end one that's used so in your price range, but just a good!

My opinion is that you should do some research on the Apollo missions that does not involve lame conspiracy theories. Try looking at the Apollo Lunar Surface Journal or other educational sites, and/or read a book like A Man On The Moon or Voices From The Moon, both by Andrew Chaikin. Failure Is Not An Option by Gene Kranz (a former NASA Flight Director) is another excellent book, so is Carrying The Fire by Apollo 11 astronaut Michael Collins. And if you like documentaries, check out In The Shadow Of The Moon or the Discovery Channel miniseries When We Left Earth. There is plenty of information available to people who are genuinely interested in the Apollo missions. Don't get taken in by conspiracy theories that are based on misinformation and bad research.

Sound has nothing to do with power. Some companies are making quieter vacuums. Here is are 2 comparison charts, and they show that the Miele has a more powerful motor, and that is what you want

no its just as powerful. it just doesnt make a big LOUD noise. unless it is a very inexpensive vacuum, then it may not be as powerful.

No check the size of it or the size of the motor. Companies are going for the quiet as it sells better. The size of the filter and the vacum motrois the main feature. most people want a quieter vacum and they are in.

not necessarily. the quiet one could just have better sound proofing.
but generally speaking, the powerful ones are kind of loud.
