Miele Vacuum Cleaner FAQ

Miele Vacuum Cleaners FAQ

Miele vacuum cleaners offer every feature and convenience that an allergy sufferer could want. When you vacuum with a Miele, you'll breathe easier knowing that the allergens in your home will disappear for good. Here are some frequently asked questions about Miele vacuum cleaners:


Miele Active HEPA filters

What is an Active HEPA filter?

The Active HEPA filter not only traps a minimum of 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns, but it also contains activated charcoal to absorb odors and chemicals.

What is a Super Air Clean filter?

A Super Air Clean filter is an electrostatically-charged filter that traps 99.95% of particles down to 0.5 microns and 94% of particles down to 0.3 microns.


Miele Active HEPA filters

What does "sealed system" mean?

Through creative engineering and quality craftsmanship, Miele combines the best raw materials with the best dust bags and HEPA filters to create a sealed system, meaning that no dirty air leaks from any part of the vacuum cleaner. With the sealed system, a Miele vacuum cleaner eliminates 99.99% of all particles as small as 0.3 microns.

The Miele Galaxy S5 models - the Miele Capricorn, Miele Aquarius, Miele Callisto & Miele Pisces - have been awarded "excellent air quality" certification by the independent institute DMT Air Quality Testing. These flagship models provide maximum protection for indoor air quality.

What is air flow?

Measured in CFM (cubic feet per minute), air flow is a measurement of the force exerted by the moving air from a vacuum cleaner. The air flow is what does the cleaning, and better vacuum cleaners have higher CFM ratings. Note that a vacuum cleaner with a powerful motor will not necessarily have a high CFM rating. A poorly engineered and constructed vacuum will not have much air flow, no matter how powerful the motor is.


Miele's IntensiveClean Plus Dust Bag and Ergonomic Deluxe Handle

What is special about Miele's IntensiveClean Plus dust bags?

Miele's dust bags not only offer 20% longer performance and 15% improved filtration over standard dust bags, but they also contain a layer of impact foil that prevents sharp objects from penetrating the bag - and they seal themselves automatically for hygienic removal and disposal.

What is the ergonomic deluxe handle assembley?

Some models offer a deluxe handle assembley to ease strain on the wrist. These models include the Miele Capricorn, Miele Aquarius, Miele Callisto, Miele Orion & Miele Luna.


Miele Tubrobrush and Powerbrush

What is the difference between a tubrobrush and a powerbrush?

A turbobrush is air-driven, wheras a powerbrush (or electrobrush) is electrically-driven. Miele turbobrushes work well for low to medium pile carpet, but if you have high pile carpet or wall-to-wall carpet, you'll probably want a powerbrush for deeper cleaning.

Why are Miele vacuum cleaners recommended for allergy sufferers?

Miele's scientists have been researching, developing, and testing vacuum cleaners for allergen elimination for over 75 years, and they have produced the most effective and hygienic method of removing particulate matter from the home. With their sealed system engineering, HEPA filtration, and hygienic dust bags, the Miele Galaxy S5 series vacuums were awarded "excellent air quality" certification from the DMT Air Quality Testing Institute.

Miele vacuum cleaners not only clean your floors, but they also clean the air you breathe.

What is your return policy?

Unlike most our competitors, we offer an extended 60-day return policy on Miele vacuum cleaners. See Why Buy from achoo! ALLERGY? for more details about our company policies.
