We have been waiting for Miele to come out with an upright that compares to their canisters and they finally have. It seems they analyzed everything a person would want in an upright vacuum and included it in their design. They created the Dynamic U1 Twist model for those who want the Miele quality and design at a lower price. To make the Twist more affordable Miele removed the automatic suction setting that detects and adjusts the speed of the motor to the type of floor surface you are cleaning, removed the 8 LED Headlights, replaced the electronic suction controls with a rotary dial, and replaced the HEPA filter with the Super Air Clean filter.

Summary:

I used the Dynamic U1 Twist in my home and was impressed at how easily it was to adjust the suction settings as needed as I switched from bare floors to different area rugs and wall to wall carpeting. We missed the automatic setting that is on the Dynamic U1 Auto Eco model that eliminates the need to adjust the suction settings as one changes cleaning surfaces. I noticed particularly, the Miele brought back to life an area rug in one of the upstairs bedrooms raising the nap that had not been seen in a long time. Like most upright vacuums, it is a bit heavy especially when I needed to go upstairs to continue to clean. The 12 foot extended hose with the anti-tip feature is unbelievable as it allows you to stretch the hose as far as you’d like and there was no need to worry about the vacuum falling over. The telescopic stainless steel wand made it so easy to reach the cobwebs at the ceiling and the top of the molding along the floor. We would have liked it if the end of the steel wand had some rubber or plastic on it to soften the impact as one needed to be careful not to scratch the floor or the paint on the walls. Of course, the on board crevice tool or dusting brush could be attached to eliminate this issue but I am an impatient cleaner who likes to do my non-floor cleaning on the fly. Although heavy, the swivel neck and weight distribution in the design allows it to flow along the cleaning surface effortlessly and change direction at will. I was amazed when I needed to get under a bureau and the Miele lowered to the floor to allow me to clean the area. In conclusion, Miele has successfully designed an upright vacuum that is easy to use yet does an incredible job at cleaning. They thought of everything when making this vacuum from the anti-tip feature and fingertip controls to the swivel neck design and spring loaded brush roll. Now, with the Dynamic U1 Twist model they have made it possible for one to afford the quality and design of a Miele.
