What customers say
Customers rave about the Miele Active AirClean filter's exceptional air purification and odor neutralization. The activated charcoal effectively tackles pet and cooking odors, significantly improving indoor air quality. Many see it as vital for their Miele vacuum's performance. The integrated TimeStrip indicator is a praised convenience, simplifying replacement and ensuring optimal filtration without manual tracking.

Know before you buy
Unlike standard filters that only trap dust, this model features an activated charcoal layer specifically designed to neutralize and absorb odors. It is particularly effective for households dealing with pet smells or smoke.
The TimeStrip is a visual indicator on the filter that helps you track its usage. Once activated, it gradually changes color over time to let you know exactly when the filter has reached the end of its lifespan and needs to be replaced.
Miele recommends replacing the Active AirClean filter once every 12 months to maintain optimal vacuum performance and odor neutralization. The integrated TimeStrip will help you keep track of this annual schedule.
This filter is compatible with Miele S4, S5, S6, S8, Complete C2-C3, and Compact C1-C2 series canister vacuums. Always verify your specific vacuum model number against this list before purchasing.
While this filter is primarily engineered for odor control and dust capture, it is not a HEPA-rated filter. If your primary concern is fine particulate filtration for severe allergies, you may want to consider a Miele HEPA AirClean filter instead.
