Lightweight. All of the Miele S5, S4, and S2 canister vacuums are compact and lightweight.
Each weighs less than 14 lbs., much lighter than traditional uprights. |
 |
Compact Size. This compact size makes storage more convenient. They can easily be stored in
closets, under beds or in any other small space. The size coupled with a built in handle and park system makes moving
the canisters up and down steps effortless. |
 |
Powerful Motor. Miele canister vacuum cleaners feature the powerful, 1200 watt Vortex Motor System. This German made
workhorse provides superior suction in a smaller package than comparable vacuum cleaners.
The S251 Miele Plus is the only model that does not come standard with this motor.
|
 |
Smooth Movement. Their light weight coupled with casters that swivel 360° makes moving all Miele canisters smooth and easy.
Across smooth surfaces they seem to glide behind you while on carpet they gently roll along. You
will not find yourself jerking or struggling with any of the canister vacuums.
|
 |
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 charged filter bags, a HEPA filter and motor
filter, Miele canisters effectively trap particles down to .3 microns. Instead of passing through, fine particles are filtered out. The 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 AirClean dust bags that fit the canister style
vacuums have a surprisingly simple, yet efficient self sealing technology built into each bag. So as you
remove the full bag, it seals itself to avoid mess. (For years I used a traditional upright and each time I
had to change the bag I would need to gather up a bunch of newspaper. Then I laid it out over a large area
and placed the vacuum in the middle. By the time I was finished the full bag was out, but I usually had dust
and dirt lying all around and sometimes in the vacuum.) |
 |
Best HEPA Filtration On The Market.* Miele
vacuum cleaners active HEPA filters trap 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. |
 |
Three Mini Attachments. Each Miele vacuum cleaner comes equipped with three mini attachments, an upholstery brush, a
crevice tool, and a dusting brush. On all S5 models these attachments are "onboard," meaning they fit in a compartment
actually built into the canister. With S4 and S2
models, the attachments fit on a VarioClip or caddy which can be attached to the wand in several places. |
 |
Highly Customizable. All canisters come with multiple optional accessories. From
turbo or powerbrushes and HEPA filters to
car cleaning kits and
deluxe handle assemblies, the Miele canister
vacuums can be fitted with a range of accessories to best meet your needs. Whether your are cleaning hard flooring, carpet
or drapes and upholstery, there is a Miele canister vacuum cleaner to fit the task. |
 |
Ultra Quiet Operation. Each canister vacuum is constructed with a special sound insulating product that
dramatically reduces noise. All of the canister models are extremely quiet when compared to other vacuums. |
 |
Durable Body Construction. A durable, impact resistant ABS plastic shell is standard in all Miele
canisters. This type of body is scratch and dent resistant as well as easily cleaned. |
 |
Retractable, Telescopic Wand.* One of several different models of telescopic wand is standard with
all canister vacuums (except the S251 Miele Plus).
All extend long enough to tackle some of the most hard to reach places while retracting back to a manageable and easily stored
size. |
 |
Extremely Wide Operating Radius. Each canister has a minimum 29.5 ft. operating radius. That's nearly a 30
ft. radius of cleaning that you can do all without having to unplug your vacuum. |
 |
Self Winding Cord. With this large of an operating radius, it is only natural to have a very long cord. Miele
has tried to avoid the tangles and hassle commonly associated with such a long cord length by integrating a self winding
system into each of their canister vacuums. Simply push the foot pedal on the body of the canister and cord fully retracts with ease. |
 |
Park System. Each Miele canister has a built in park system. All canisters have one to three slots in the body
where attachments clip in. This keeps the wand and attachment secured to the side of the canister making storage easier while
helping to prevent tipping.
(NOTE: Because of the size of the SEB 236 Powerbrush, it will stand alone without tipping. This attachment
cannot be parked.) |
 |
Bag Change Indicator. A standard bag change indicator takes the guesswork out of when to change the
bag in any of the canisters. |
 |
Protects Your Furniture. Since canister vacuums tag along behind you as you clean (instead of being in front of you
as an upright would), it is a valid to concern worry about the canister bouncing off of your furniture. To remedy this concern,
all Miele canisters, EXCEPT Miele S2 vacuums,
come with a rubberized bumper strip around the vacuum to help avoid dings and damage to your furniture and appliances. |
 |
Long Life. The motor on each Miele comes with a seven year warranty, though all Miele vacuums are tested and
expected to last 1000 operating hours, approximately 20 years. This
is possible through superior construction and the use of Miele's
Vortex Motor System. Unlike other vacuum cleaners, a Miele is an investment that will save you money. |
 |
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. |
