Know before you buy
The Active AirClean filter is specifically designed to neutralize pet odors as you vacuum. It works alongside the vacuum's sealed system to trap dust and allergens, ensuring the air exhausted back into your home remains fresh.
The turbobrush is primarily designed for carpets and rugs, where its rotating bristles effectively lift pet hair and stubborn debris. For hard floors, you can adjust the suction power or use a standard floor head to avoid potential scratching.
With an 11-meter operating radius, you can clean large rooms or move between adjacent spaces without constantly unplugging the unit. It significantly reduces the need to switch outlets, making the cleaning process much more efficient.
Miele subjects this model to rigorous stress testing that simulates two decades of typical household use. This includes testing the motor, the casing, and the cord retraction mechanism to ensure they maintain performance over a long lifespan.
Yes, the flexible crevice nozzle is ideal for tight, awkward spaces like car interiors, between sofa cushions, or behind heavy furniture. Its slim, bendable design allows you to reach dust and hair that standard attachments often miss.
You can easily toggle the suction power using the mode button located on the canister. This allows you to decrease suction for delicate curtains or upholstery and increase it for high-traffic carpets.
