Know before you buy
This model is designed primarily for hard floors and low-pile carpets. Because it uses a combination floorhead rather than an electric power brush, it may be difficult to push on thick, high-pile rugs.
The vacuum features a rotary dial on the canister that allows you to adjust the motor's power based on the surface you are cleaning. You can lower the suction for delicate items like curtains or increase it to maximum power for deep cleaning hard floors.
Yes, this model uses Miele’s GN AirClean dustbags. These bags are designed to work with the vacuum's sealed filtration system to trap dust and allergens effectively.
The canister unit weighs approximately 10 pounds, making it quite lightweight and easy to maneuver. Its compact design and smooth-running wheels allow it to follow you easily as you move through your home.
The vacuum comes with three integrated accessories: a crevice tool for tight corners, an upholstery nozzle for furniture, and a dusting brush for surfaces like shelves or baseboards.
The vacuum has a 29.5-foot operating radius, which includes the cord and hose length. It features an automatic cord rewind function that retracts the cable with a single touch.
