On June 1, Miele launched the latest upright vacuum cleaner in their S7 series, the Miele Twist. Like the S7 uprights that were originally launched in late 2008, the Twist is a quality vacuum cleaner but at a slightly lower price point.

Closest in features to the Calypso, Jazz, and Salsa, the Miele Twist has the same great features of these vacuums with two exceptions. The Twist lacks the LED lamp. In its place the Twist has a solid rubber bumper across the front. The second difference is the HEPA filter. The Twist comes standard with Miele's Super Air Clean filter, BUT is able to be upgraded easily to Miele's Active HEPA filter at any time.

Similar to the Miele Pisces canister vacuum, the Twist comes in a Royal Blue finish and retains the best features of this series, including the Swivel-Neck design, durable ABS construction, amazing wand reach, two separate motors, automatic height adjustment and large capacity, self-sealing HyClean dustbags.

Priced at the very bottom of the S7 line, the Miele Twist is an excellent starter vacuum for someone interested in the Miele uprights, but not willing to pay for the top of the line models.
