Does the M1 offer separately adjustable vacuum and cycle like the S1?

You can adjust the suction but it adjusts the speed at the same time. I bought this pump as a smaller option for pumping on the go for my twins... I use it exclusively now. I love it!

It has 5 levels. But they are for both. They can not be adjusted separately, but they can be adjusted together

I don't think you are able to adjust the vacuum. I think there is only one setting.

The S1 is (rechargeable) battery operated, that makes a major difference. I love the S1, it's worth the money, and then some.

Sorry, I don't know those other vacuums. I like this one but unlike an earlier model, the hose connects in the center of the top and it makes it harder to drag it behind you. It over turns over .... darn.

The s1 use a system with a rubber to make pressure and the deluxe use a more durable wheel. The Deluxe is made of stainless steel. Deluxe is a better product.

I have an S2000. Mine has the compartment for accessories on the outside atop the canister. I will say that this brush is no better than the original one I bought with the vacuum (which was included). This is supposed to be "natural bristle" but I cannot determine that by the feel. I actually returned mine for a credit back to my Amazon account. I'm still looking for a natural bristle brush for my Miele!!

no, the 1088a has a weighted lid and a manual vacuum button to extend the vacuum longer

Spectra M1 is perfect for travelling, it's portable, good battery life and strong. Obviosly it is not as strong as the S1 which is a hospital degree pump. But this M1 makes a wonderful job!! Oohh It's double too!! About the bottles I think that you can find in amazon too.

Hi Yes you can purchase the STB205-3, or you can change and get the Miele Onyx vacuum and it comes with a great floor brush and the STB205-3 for carpeting, but has the same light weight body as the Quartz.

I seriously thought that they were different sizes, and designed to fit only their higher-end machines. But I do know for sure that the Q bags that I use on the upright, has the dust locker, for when you change out the bags, whereas the type I bags that I use on my canister vacuum does not. It's a nice feature. But they're totally different sizes designed for very different machines.

Not really. I've never found one that really works well. The old canister model was so much more powerful and sturdy in every way. The hand brush works better than other models I have used, but unlike the canister vacs, there is no power going to the head. The best suction/spinning brush action was in the old canister vacs. This is a decent machine for the price -- better than others I've used that are similar, but still not entirely effective. The suction is pretty good, though, compared with current competitors.

There's a height setting on the Dyson that allows you to vacuum both carpets and hard floor without changing height or making any other necessary adjustment. The suction from themotor is strong enough to work both flooring materials with equal success. I run my Dyson across all kinds of flooring material, and never make the slightest height adjustment.It's that good a machine.

Yes. There is a button you push, which adapts the vacuum for hardwoods. It works quite well. We have hardwoods in several areas and am pleased with the performance. I hope this helps.

I am not familiar with the Hoover Flair, but looking at it on amazon the biggest difference I see is the the cyclonic feature this unit has. I also noticed the Flair has a filter that looks clumsy. This Hoover has a round sponge like filter that is easy to clean and doesn't seem to wear out. I can't say enough about this vacuum. I have had it over a year and love it. I have gone through numerous vacuums and have never been happier than I am with this one. I even bought a spare! I also purchased one for my mother in-law and she loves it too. The amount of dirt this vacuum picks up will amaze you! I am not familiar with the Hoover Flair, but looking at it on amazon the biggest difference I see is the the cyclonic feature this unit has.

I haven't opened up the box yet. I doubt it can replace the vacuum. My intention is to use my roomba vacuum first, then the mop. As fas as comparing to the mint, what I hated about my mint was having to plug it in to charge.the main reason I got it was because like the roomba vacuum, it should glide into its own charging station. I expect it to be at least as good as the mint, perhaps better
