Know before you buy
Yes, the Calima comes with two specialized floorheads. The Turbo Comfort Floorbrush is designed to agitate and clean carpets, while the included parquet floorhead is specifically engineered for delicate hard surfaces.
This is a bagged vacuum. It uses Miele's high-capacity dust bags, which help contain fine dust and allergens more effectively than bagless models when it comes time to empty the unit.
The integrated HEPA AirClean filter is highly efficient at trapping fine dust, pollen, and allergens. Because the system is sealed, it ensures that the air exhausted from the vacuum is cleaner than the air it takes in.
The vacuum features a 24-foot cord and a telescoping wand, providing a total operating radius of 36 feet. This allows you to clean large rooms or move between adjacent spaces without needing to constantly switch outlets.
Not at all. The canister sits on 360-degree caster wheels that allow it to glide smoothly across floors, and the unit is equipped with an all-round bumper strip to protect your furniture from accidental scuffs.
The vacuum features integrated, secure storage directly on the canister body. This ensures your crevice tool and other accessories are always within reach while you clean.
