Why Choose Miele Vacuum Cleaners?

Miele has set the standard for high quality, extremely durable, German engineered vacuums for over 100 years.  Unlike many other vacuum cleaner manufacturers, Miele doesn’t change their design and models every year or two.  Simply put, when they introduce a new model, they stick with it for 10 or more years.  You can buy with confidence knowing that you’re ‘investing’ in a quality vacuum that you can expect to keep for 15 – 20 years not add to the landfill in 3 or 4 years.  Our retail store has sold Miele since 1988 and we’ve been told many times by our customers, ‘this is best vacuum cleaner I’ve ever owned’.  Some go as far as saying ‘this is best thing I’ve bought in the last 15 years’. Getting the right model for your needs is crucial so that’s where we can help.  Here’s the features that separate a Miele from other vacuums:

  • Best filtration of any portable vacuum particularly when incorporating a HEPA filter.

  • Powerful suction – Miele has much better sustained suction than any bagless cleaner (see article on Why bagged vacuum are a better choice than bagless vacuums).

  • Best for Allergy sufferers – In addition to the best exhaust filtration, Miele has superior design features in many areas.  Their 9-layer micron dust bag is the best on the market. The German-designed sealing system between the bag door and vacuum cleaner body ensures no dust can leak during normal operation.

  • Miele makes primarily made canister (pull behind) vacuum cleaners although they have cordless ‘stick’ vacuums and robots as well.  Most of what Americans buy are uprights yet the vast majority of people have some bare floors, such as hardwood, tile or similar. Are uprights better for bare floors?  Absolutely not!  Besides the heavier weight of pushing the upright, most uprights have very small wheels on the brush roll nozzle and if they don’t, you’re scratching your hardwoods by grinding the dirt into your bare surfaces! The answer is to buy a Miele which has the best floor brush on the market!

  • Quiet operation – Miele canisters are very quiet and have 6 speed settings to adjust to the perfect suction level for your needs.  Most uprights have no speed controls.

  • Versatility - The number one advantage canisters have over uprights is versatility.  If you’re an upright owner, have you ever tried to vacuum bare floors with the hose?  It just isn’t practical because they’re designed for above floor cleaning such as a sofa or bookcase.
