98.0  The Miele S4212 Neptune is part of the Miele S4 series of canisters.  There are a number of consumer ratings on Amazon but little elsewhere.  Ratings on Amazon are stellar.  The Neptune comes with a Turbo Brush which makes it effective on low to medium pile carpet and pet hair.  The entry level Miele S4 is the S4212 Polaris which is best on low pile carpet and bare floors.
