Just wanted to say thanks for the Miele S4000 series video, which enabled me to repair mine successfully. Without the video I would not have had the confidence to have a go (despite having a technical background myself in another field). Really helpful thanks.
Thanks for this video. After watching this I was able to fix my mielle vacuum (same as the one in the video). Mine had a break in the power cord right where it enters the cord winder unit. I really appreciate the time you took to make and post this video. Also, this vacuum seems to be really well designed. Our has lasted us about 14 years so far and this was the first thing to go wrong with it.
Thanks for the detailed video. I had a S4210 just like that, which would suddenly no longer turn on. It turned out to just be the plug, but I had to get it apart to test the connectivity down to the connectors on the cable spool. Your directions saved me a lot of time guessing what to do next. And I cleaned it up while I was at it . . . got me some extra points around the house. Apparently it sucks better now!
Thanks so much for this video. Just finished fixing my S4210. I intended to replace the broken cord retractor assembly, but after spending way too much time poking around to see why it was borked, I discovered the spring steel retractor had come off the hub. After more too much time, I figured out how to reattach it and rewind things properly. PS: If people out there don't have torx tools/bits, Harbor Freight has a very nice bit set for $11 or so that include torx and lots of other odd fastener types.
This was my first Miele, back in 2005-ish. I paid $399 for a Sirius, which was a Diamond Dealer exclusive, apparently. It is a sparkling blue color and came with a HEPA filter, which I think were the only two special things about it. Tools were the usual three hand tools and the excellent Parquet Twister. After 15-ish years of heavy use (it's been used every single day in a 4 bedroom home with two dogs and all hard floors), it's only required a new on/off switch, a new hose handle (someone accidentally crushed it by backing over it during the course of cleaning the car, not the machine's fault...and the hose was fine), and a new cord reel. It's earned it's value many times over and still has the quiet, powerful "bzz" & "whoosh" every time it turns on :)
Great video - even though I do not have this model series, there are still things to learn. It is very interesting to see the differences in Miele vacuum motors explained even though they are both Vortex motors. I noticed this same thing on the S5 and S8/C3. The S5 has the larger diameter motor while both the S8 and C3 have the smaller diameter encapsulated motor. Until this video, I always wondered why the measured suction on my S5 was always about 0.5 - 1 kPa more than my newer S8/C3. The difference in impeller/fan blade size makes the difference. One question - What benefits does encapsulating the motor have? My guess would be that it would help with noise and perhaps dust. It may also direct air flow a bit better. I am interested in your thoughts Performance Reviews. Thanks again! Keep up these great educational videos.
Great video again. The only problem I have with assembled in china is, taking jobs away from people in the country it's made in. Kind of like if all people start fixing Vacuum's themselves and not bringing them to you anymore. Oh...and racist ginger Jew, LMFAO. Keep the Miele videos coming!! Very interesting and informative.
I am much nicer to the vacuums when I service them then there owners . yes I treat them as if they where my own . What's. You are witnessing is bad camera work on my part .
Lol @ whine in the comments below if you live in the middle of no where. I drove 2 hrs to a Miele "service" provider who did nothing and then sent my vacuum back. That's why I'm watching this video.
Hi I have the same vacuum everything was good until the vacuum did not turn on do you know what would be wrong I notice that air clean came dark I recently putted on. I check the inner switch and it wont work could be the cable is ripped?
+P-Stine Dyson's need constant attention. Make sure you rinse your filter after every use and replace the HEPA filter every 6 months to a year. I would never compare Malaysian slave labor too fine German machinery.
Hey man I want to know if it’s possible for me to put a premium power head wand and pit it to my c2 compact power line plus? The hose with the nicer looking handle?
SDCEO is what the sticker on the bottom says. It’s the c2 compact power line plus that’s sold at Williams Sonoma and bed bath beyond if that helps? Appreciate your thoughts. Cheers

“Be careful of this plug it’s very brittle”-Proceeds to wack the crap out of it with a screwdriver LOL

I love this little vac, handy for those small jobs around the house, handy for cleaning the car.....

Did everything as you did it, but a little slower. I had to put in a new cord too. Thanks much.
Thanks. Fixed my broken wire
Great video very informative. Love Miele vacuums they are also very well built. I have the Capricorn canister and the S7 Salsa upright. Thanks Alex.
Good Really Glad To Hear That Buddy!! I Have The Very Same Vacuum Cleaner That Your Working On (5yrs old) & Yes I'm Very Fussy & Careful With It!!
Excellent service. Great video. Thanks
Thank you so much for the upload now I can finally open up my Miele C1 Compact Powerline it's noisy & smells of burning rubber
Thanks for this because of you I was able to take mine apart, repair cord retractor, clean it up put it back together :)

+Leetpn Leetpn yes the motors are encapsulated for sound insulation.
can the motors be repaired on these? i think my brushes are gone.
Puedo ordenar solo el motor de la aspiradora sin la manguera ni se pillos es posible?
You work with some very interesting people 🤔
I most certainly did.
Thank you for your excellent video. I love this vacuum.
That is my fav Miele size and colour
Yes, mine too. Bought it like 15 years ago looks brand new. I bought a Gibson Les Paul - same color
Great video again.

Would He Be As Rough With His Own Vacuum Cleaner??

Hi. Where can i get the replacement motor for S4. i have to replace for my neptune
Hi I have the same vacuum everything was good until the vacuum did not turn on do you know what would be wrong I notice that air clean came dark I recently putted on. I check the inner switch and it wont work could be the cable is ripped?
I'll be answering your question in the q&A section coming up Sunday
Noticed you also service Dyson, are those any good? Compared to Miele, how often does a dyson needs to be serviced?
+P-Stine Dyson's need constant attention. Make sure you rinse your filter after every use and replace the HEPA filter every 6 months to a year. I would never compare Malaysian slave labor too fine German machinery.
If the cord came off the reel, can it be fixed? Love my S4210, but the cord came off the machine yesterday :(
The parts are still available bring it to your local Miele dealer.
Does the foam piece from the mesh grill you removed at first need to be replaced ?
No it's strictly cosmetic
Hey man I want to know if it’s possible for me to put a premium power head wand and pit it to my c2 compact power line plus? The hose with the nicer looking handle?
Without a model number it's hard to answer this question.
SDCEO is what the sticker on the bottom says. It’s the c2 compact power line plus that’s sold at Williams Sonoma and bed bath beyond if that helps? Appreciate your thoughts. Cheers
I have that Miele but it’s in red
What are you doing with my vacuum!
I don't know there are a thousands of them like it 🤣😂
Not very good. You provide no detail. This is just a vid of you working. It’s no tutorial. You don’t get it.
Travail de merde ...
