Know before you buy
This model is specifically engineered for hard floors and delicate rugs. While it can handle low-pile area rugs, it lacks the motorized brush roll required for deep-cleaning thick or high-pile wall-to-wall carpeting.
The vacuum features Miele’s AirClean Sealed System combined with a HEPA AirClean filter. This combination is designed to capture over 99.9% of dust, dander, and allergens, ensuring they stay trapped inside the machine rather than being released back into your air.
The Parquet floorhead is designed with soft bristles that glide gently over sensitive surfaces like hardwood, tile, or stone. It provides superior maneuverability and prevents scratching, making it ideal for delicate flooring.
Yes, this model uses Miele GN FilterBags, which are designed to work with the sealed system for maximum dust containment. The 4.76-quart capacity is quite large, meaning most households will only need to replace the bag every few months depending on usage.
The vacuum features two foot-operated buttons on the canister body that allow you to toggle through six different suction levels. This lets you adjust power on the fly—such as lowering suction for curtains or increasing it for bare floors—without needing to bend down.
The canister weighs approximately 12 pounds. It is designed for effortless movement thanks to three 360-degree swivel casters, which allow the vacuum to follow you smoothly across different rooms.
