Lightweight. Both Miele Universal Upright vacuums
are compact and lightweight. Each weighs 10 lbs. or less. Their slim design and light weight makes these uprights easy to use and store.
|
 |
Compact Size. This compact size makes storage more convenient. They can easily be stored in
closets, under beds or in any other small space.
|
 |
Powerful Motor. Both of the uprights in the 160 series are powered by a 1000 watt motor. This German made
workhorse provides superior suction in a compact package.
|
 |
Sealed System Construction. A vacuum's most basic function is picking up dirt and particulate with suction. The suction is created
as air is pulled completely through the system. While traditional vacuums are often less than efficient when it comes to retaining the smallest and
most damaging particles, Miele's Sealed System is different. With the use of electrostatically charged filter bags, a HEPA filter and motor
filter, Miele Universal Uprights effectively trap particles down to .3 microns. Instead of passing through fine particles are filtered out. They entire suction
system is sealed to prevent dirty air from escaping. These measures work together to create the cleanest vacuum on the market today.
|
 |
Simple, Clean Bag Replacement. Bag replacement is a cinch. All bags that fit the upright style
vacuums have a surprisingly simple, yet efficient self sealing technology built into each back. So as you
remove the full bag, it seals itself to avoid mess.
|
 |
Best HEPA Filtration On The Market.* While a HEPA filter
is not standard on both upright models, Miele offers an Active HEPA filter. The
Active HEPA traps 99.99% of all particles .3 microns and larger. In addition to this, the Active HEPA comes
with a thin layer of Generally Activated Charcoal (GAC) to absorb odors. The Active HEPA filter combined with
the layer of GAC and a completely sealed system means vacuums with the HEPA feature act not only as a vacuum
but also an air purifier.
|
 |
Two Mini Attachments. Both models come standard with
two mini attachments, a crevice tool and a upholstery tool. Both attachments fit into a small
caddy that clips neatly to the wand.
|
 |
Highly Customizable. The S168 and
S163 come with multiple optional accessories. From
HEPA filters to
car cleaning kits the Miele uprights can
be fitted with a range of accessories to best meet your needs. The S168
is capable of using electric powerbrushes. Whether your are cleaning hard flooring, carpet
or drapes and upholstery, one of the Miele uprights will likely fit the bill. |
 |
Durable Body Construction. A durable, impact resistant ABS plastic shell is standard in all Miele
Universal Uprights. This type of body is scratch and dent resistant as well as easily cleaned.
|
 |
Extremely Wide Operating Radius. Each upright has a
26 ft. cord. With the length of the vacuum
included, that's nearly a 30 ft. radius of cleaning that you can do all without having to unplug your vacuum.
|
 |
Bag Change Indicator. A standard bag change indicator takes the guesswork out of when to change the
bag in any of the canisters.
|
 |
Long Life. The motor on each Miele comes with a seven year warranty, though all Mieles
are tested and expected to last 1000 operating hours,
approximately 20 years. Unlike other vacuum cleaners, a Miele is an investment.
|
 |
Reputation. Whether it is adhering to the stringent EN 1822 European air filtration standard or putting their products
through hundreds of hours of abusive testing, Miele is known for producing durable, quality products for over a century. Throughout
the years their products have led the way in innovation, providing a balance between
aesthetically pleasing form and unsurpassed functionality.
