Miele Vacuum Cleaners: Form and function in perfect harmony |
| |
Advanced materials, skilled craftsmanship and an unwavering attention-to-detail ensure years of consistent, trouble-free performance from our world-renown vacuum cleaners. Stringent factory testing guarantees Miele vacuum cleaners will deliver brilliant results, even under the most demanding conditions.
With a tradition of over 100 years of excellence, Miele constantly achieves "Forever Better" products, surpassing the industry standard and exceeding the expectations of our customers. This, is The Miele Difference. |
|
|
| Tradition: | | | In 1899, Carl Miele and Reinhard
Zinkann began the Miele company in a small wooden barn in the community of
Herzebrock, Germany with eleven employees and a promise, "Immer Besser." This
philosophy, meaning "Forever Better," has guided Miele through more than 100
years of family-ownership and continues to represent both a duty and challenge
for its 15,000 employees today. Since adding vacuum cleaners to its household
appliance range in 1927, Miele has been considered a leader in the
international floor care industry, pressing the technology envelope ever since
its first vacuum cleaner, the "Melior." | |
Notably, the Melior canister
vacuum insulated live electrical components with a molded material, bakelite
(named after its Belgian inventor, Baekeland), which was the first
plastic to be used in the household arena. Miele's use of bakelite positioned
the company as a pioneer in the use of plastics in domestic appliances,
providing the best possible protection against electrical shock with
unparalleled noise reduction.
Today, Miele continues its legacy,
manufacturing vacuum cleaners that deliver powerful performance, advanced
filtration systems, convenient features and enduring quality within a
brilliantly designed framework. | |
| Convenience: | | Miele vacuum cleaners not only have
powerful motors and effective Sealed System filtration, they are also designed
with a variety of significant features - all to make cleaning easier. Beginning
with their castor wheels, capable of spinning 360°, Miele vacuums are
responsive to the user's slightest command. | | | | The durable ABS
plastic housing, the same advanced polymer used to make football helmets, and
protective
bumper
strip, to prevent
damage to the unit and any item you may inadvertently bump into. | | | | | The crush-proof electric and
non-electric hoses, rotate a full 360° without chinking or binding while
the unique stainless steel, telescopic wand adjusts to comfortably fit any
user. | | | | For quick
cleaning, the
tool
caddie
keeps all
the accessories right at your fingertips. While features vary from model to
model, Miele's legendary quality is built-in to every product produced.

More: View all available

assortment of accessory cleaning kits and floor tools that enhance the
flexibility and convenience to conventional cleaning techniques. All of
Miele's non-electric, canister floor tools are interchangeable, making them
useful on all vacuum cleaner models. These accessories are not only
internationally acclaimed for their design, but also stand ready to ease your
cleaning burdens: | | | |

apart | Once you try a Miele canister
vacuum cleaner, you will not want to use anything else.
Our powerful
vacuum cleaners are highly responsive to the slightest touch, which means you
will not be fighting with your vacuum cleaner. |  | By combining a powerful 1100-watt motor with a smooth, completely sealed system, Miele's engineers have increase the airflow on some of our canisters up to an incredible 141 cubic feet per minute for added power and performance.
Regardless of which model you choose, our motors produce exceptional airflow that ensure deep cleaning for any pile carpeting and superior cleaning results on all smooth floor surfaces.
All our canister vacuum cleaners are also equipped with speed control so you can reduce the suction when cleaning more delicate surfaces.

| Air
Hygiene: | | A H.E.P.A. filter, even a
certified one like ours, is useless if the vacuum cleaner
leaks air prior to passing through the filter
like some other "HEPA-like" or "HEPA-type" vacuum cleaners do. | - When using a Miele canister or mini-upright with HEPA, you
are guaranteed to capture, retain and filter virtually all particles.
- Our engineers have crafted an air-tight dust chamber, with
rubber gaskets, to ensure that the air passes through the final exhaust filter
and is not leaked out.
- Miele's advancements in this area have been so remarkable
that the new S500 and S600 series are the first ever HEPA certified vacuum
cleaners in the world.*
| | | Air
Filters: | | First, and
most commonly included in Miele vacuums, is the electrostatically charged
Super Air Clean filter.
This filter
is designed for normal household use, where allergies and odors are not an
overwhelming concern. The Super Air Clean filter is made of a multiple layer,
random-spun, electrostatic charged material that retains 99.9% of all particles
0.5 microns and larger and 94% of particles down to 0.3 microns in size. This
filter lasts as long as five dustbags and is included with each box of bags.
Next is the Active Air
Clean filter.
This combines the Super Air Clean Filter with
active charcoal pellets, which absorb odors - especially useful if you have
pets in your household. The Active Air Clean filter achieves the same superb
filtration results as the Super Air Clean filter and has an operating life of
approximately 12 months or 50 hours of vacuuming.
Finally, there is the Active HEPA
filter.
Vacuuming can be a nightmare for people who suffer
from dust allergies, as tiny particles of dust, such as dust mite feces and
pollen can be disturbed and remain airborne for hours, exacerbating conditions
such as bronchial asthma and rhinitis.
With an
Active
HEPA filter
installed
within the
Sealed
System
casing of
select series of Miele vacuums, real allergy-relief can be a reality. Our
certified HEPA filter traps 99.9% of particles down to 0.3
micron in size - that
is 1/200 the width of a strand of human hair. | | | Air
Filtration: | | | | Vacuum cleaners are
designed to remove dust, dirt and debris from your carpeting and
furniture.
In order to produce a vacuum cleaner that actually performs
its primary function successfully, it must first have adequate airflow to
gather dirt and debris. Unfortunately, not all vacuum cleaners do this. The
second part of the equation is filtration. Most
vacuum cleaners lack the design and proper filtration system required to
contain microscopic particles that have escaped through the dustbag as well as
any particles that may be generated by the motor. This post motor filter
design, in conjunction with rubber sealing throughout the system, is crucial to
maintaining clean air. | | | | | | Every Miele vacuum cleaner,
including our upright units, come standard with a double layer dustbag, a
pre-motor filter, and an advanced exhaust filter configuration. Over the past
75 years, our engineering and production laboratories have tested hundreds of
methods to improve dust pickup and retention ratios. Miele's firm conclusion is
that using a dustbag is the most effective and hygienic method of removing dust
from the home while maintaining superior indoor air quality. | | | | | | | | Miele canister
and mini-upright vacuums offer
three
exhaust
filter options to capture the tiny particles that have escaped through the
dustbag as well as any particles that may be generated by the operation of the
motor. These post motor filter designs, working in conjunction with rubber seal
throughout the system, are crucial to maintaining clean air. | |
