Consumers Digest 2009 "Best Buy".
The Callisto is a mid sized canister that can deep clean low thru high pile carpet and gently cleans bare floors.
The Callisto has the same powerful suction of more expensive Miele canisters. The main difference is that the Callisto has a suction control dial on the body of the canister. It doesn't feature self adjusting suction or have a suction control on the hose. If these features do not matter to you then the Callisto is probably your best choice for the money. Most people leave the suction on high anyway.
It is also a HEPA certified vacuum.

The Miele Callisto S5280 / S 5280 canister vacuum cleaner comes standard with Miele's SEB 228 Extra large Electric power brush with 5 height step controls for height adjustment, which is great for homes with tightly woven carpet, heavy shedding pets, or high pile carpet.
