Probably one of the most reliable canister vacuums out in the market now, the S2121 Olympus by Miele is considered a professional cleaning tool. It is made to be an entry-level, high –end canister vacuum which is designed mainly to be used on hard floors and a low-pile carpet.
For other vacuums, they are a bit vague when it comes to its capacity, but for the Miele Olympus, by using it as directed, you will get the best performance it give. Thus, you wll get more than what your money is worth.
However, with it considered as a high-end canister vacuum, you cannot expect it to be cheap. It is mid-priced, and may not come with a well-rounded set of features to cater to your needs.
Features
With a high-end, but entry-level canister vacuum like the Olympus, you may be wondering what it necessarily means. Feature wise, users had observed it to be not as complete as you may expect it to be, but to know more what this can offer you, here are its key features:
Dimensions
This S2121 Olympus by Miele has quite a short-length cord of 18 feet, however, it has an extendable wand to allow it to reach difficult areas in the space. With its short cord, the Olympus is promised to have a 29.5 cleaning radius.
On the other side, this is considered as a light weighted canister vacuum, with just 13 pounds. It will allow you to conveniently move around and easily carry the unit in every edge of your home.
Performance
It is easy to tell that the Olympus is mainly designed for vacuuming your hard wood floor and low-pile carpet areas. With it not having a motorized brush, you cannot really rely on it when it comes to deep cleaning of your carpets, which is why it is mostly reliable for cleaning your bare surfaces or floors.
Capacity
The S2121 Olympus is equipped with six suction controls you can choose from. This way, you can monitor or control how much power is needed to effectively dust off your floors. Aside from that, it is supported with rotary dial power for a more accurate selection.
As for the dirt storage, this is made to be a canister vacuum which requires a bag for storage. With this, it may be an additional cost for you, as disposable bags can quite be costly per pack.

Verdict
If your home is designed with mostly hard floors, then this is a considerable canister vacuum you can take on. This may lack a couple of qualities, but it makes up with plenty of accessories and attachments to provide you multi-purpose cleaning.
However, if you have pets that shred hair like there is no tomorrow, I cannot really recommend you using this vacuum, as it is not as reliable as when used on hard floors. Another is that, this is mostly suggested and recommended for use of those with quite a small space. With its short cord, you may have to keep on plugging and unplugging it to cover all areas of your space, plus, with a short cord, it may be difficult for you to get on some small spaces.
It is a good thing that this is equipped with a six level s of suction that you can choose from, with it fully relying on straight suction power to clean different surfaces, you cannot tell how much power each of it needs to dust off small particles.
Furthermore, if you have a sensitive immune system, and may be prone to allergies, you may want to test first just how effective the auto-seal filter is. If you are not convinced with it yet, you may consult on whether or not it is okay to have it replaced with a HEPA filtration system.
Before all else, make sure to have read all reviews you can to guide you in the decision making process. Having an input from experienced users can be a helpful thing to know to have a better grasp on what to expect with the product.
