One thing that has consistently set Miele apart from other vacuum cleaner brands is the push to innovate and introduce new and improved products. As we say farewell to the Miele S4 canister vacuums cleaners, the new Miele S6 canisters have arrived.

Priced between the S2 and S5 lines of Miele canister vacs, the Miele S6 models consist of several compact, durable canister vacuum cleaners that present a new design, several style changes, and some noticeable improvements over the previous mid range models.

To start, the Miele S6 canisters all have sealed systems, and for allergy or asthma sufferers this is critical in removing as much particle allergen from the air in your home as possible. Lighter than the S4’s, the S6 vacuum canisters all weigh less than 10 lbs.

When equipped with a HEPA filter, the Miele S6 vacuums offer 12 layers of filtration, and with a redesigned motor, these Miele vacuum cleaners are the quietest of all.

At 33 total feet, the operating radius is in line with S5 models, 3.5 ft. longer than S2 canisters. The cord rewind is now a single-touch switch. Instead of having to apply constant pressure until the entirety of the cord is rewound, one touch of the rewind switch it all it takes.

As the signature model in this line, the Miele Red Velvet (pictured) features a unique velvet finish on the body of the canister and polished aluminum accents. In all, the Miele S6 vacuum cleaners present a variety of features and design changes but still provide the consistent cleaning results that have made the brand so popular.
