Speed Control From Hose Handle
The S5980 Capricorn uses a complete "direct connect" system with
speed controls on a handy console at the top of the hose handle.
This quick access gives you the power to electronically adjust the motor's
output to optimize cleaning of any surface or object right at your fingertips.
With this type of control, cleaning lamp shades, curtains and fabric window
blinds becomes an almost joyful task undertaken with ease.
Power 1200-watt, high-output Miele made Vortex Motor
A real power pack: the S5 motor is developed and produced in the Miele
factories in Germany.
*A 1200-watt powerful performance
*Optimal usage of power through the airflow
The result: great cleaning performance with superior dust intake.
Filter System (Included)
Active H.E.P.A. Filter
This Miele filter conforms to the new stringent European standard for
filtration (EN 1822) which means that it actually traps 99.99% of all particles
as tiny as 0.3 of a micron.
These filters are so well designed that they only need to be replaced after 50
hours of use, or approximately 12 months.
There is also a convenient spot to write the date on the filter, which takes the
guesswork out of when the filter should be replaced.
Bags
Intensive Clean Dustbags with flap for dust-free removal (2-supplied).
Miele's revolutionary new dustbags are made of a unique, new material.
An intricate web of 3-ply random-spun fibers allow the IntensiveClean bag to
retain significantly far more tiny particles and allergens than with
conventional paper dustbags.
The enhanced composition virtually eliminates clogging, improving suction
performance even further.
Canister Construction
Closed System Construction
For over 75 years, our research, development and quality control laboratories
have tested methods to effectively pick up and, most importantly, retain dust
and other indoor air pollutants.
After collecting volumes of data, engineers and designers continue to reach the
firm conclusion that Miele's system is the most effective and hygienic method of
removing particulate matter from the home.
Our exclusive combination of a Sealed SystemTM
using the very best raw materials, electrostatically charged IntensiveClean PlusTM
dust/filter bag and a selection of high-quality filter cartridges, including the
first certified HEPA filter, provide the essential formula for this success.
As a matter of fact, the new S4 Galaxy series has been awarded certification by
the DMT Air Quality Testing Institute, an independent institute that monitors
air hygiene. The S4 joins other Miele vacuums—which were the world's first to
receive this certificate—with a top rating of "excellent air
quality".1
This certification refers to Miele's HEPA filter and the vacuum cleaner working
together as a Sealed SystemTM
to provide maximum protection for indoor air quality.
Please exercise caution when evaluating other vacuum filtration systems, since
there are many gimmicks that do not work as effectively or scientifically.
Since this is an area where poor results can be devastating to young or elderly
lungs, or to anyone who suffers from allergies or asthma, you may want to visit
a local authorized Miele dealer to discuss the importance of the indoor air
quality in your home and how a Miele vacuum cleaner can improve it.

stringent European standard for filtration (EN1822).
