Miele Does It Even Better!
Quality Tested to Last 20 Years:
Every Miele vacuum that leaves the production line in Bielefeld, Germany is put through rigorous quality checks before it is deemed worthy to bear the “Miele” name. In fact, Miele’s unique Vortex Motor System™ is engineered to last for an average of 20 years of residential use – and to provide the same superior suction in year 20 as it does in year one. Like the durable and powerful Miele-made Vortex motor, all of the S5’s parts are road-tested for endurance. Tests include: the cable-pull test, which pulls and retracts the reel over 10,000 times; a threshold test, to ensure the castors, bumper strip and casing can withstand miles of door bumps and curves; the hose test, that stretches the hose thousands of times and the floor test, to ensure the brushes and accessories work properly and can survive repeated falls.
Key Features of New S5 Series:
New silence setting
All Miele vacuums are known for their quiet performance, but a special sound insulation makes the S5 the quietest Miele vacuum ever made. Shhh… is that a pot of water boiling or an S5 vacuuming?
Six level power adjustment
One power level does not suit all types of cleaning and the S5 is outfitted with SIX power settings. Lower levels clean delicate drapes without damage and area rugs without lifting them off the floor. Higher power levels effectively remove dirt from smooth floor surfaces and carpeting, ensuring the S5 won’t ever need to run over the same area twice.
Automatic setting detects flooring and sets power level
The only thing better than having six power settings to effectively clean different surfaces is the convenience of never needing to touch them. Available exclusively on the Miele S5 Aquarius model (S5580) is an automatic sensor that detects the surface it is cleaning and adjusts to the optimum power level.
Extra long cord goes the distance
The S5 is fitted with an extra long cord giving the homeowner a radius of nearly 30 feet before they have to change sockets, plus a convenient automatic retraction system that neatly pulls in all that cable and hides it away until it’s needed again. The cord automatically dispenses as well so the homeowner doesn’t need to pull the entire cord out of the vacuum. It releases cable as it goes so there’s just the right amount of tension between the outlet and vacuum, lifting the cable up off of the floor so the vacuum head can clean under it.
Parking system allows for breaks
When the phone rings, the S5 offers a convenient park system that allows the wand and floor tool to be placed in a holder on the back of the canister. The wand is then easily accessible when it’s time to begin vacuuming again. Similar parking features on both sides of the canister (to accommodate both left- or right-handed individuals) allow the wand and floor tool to be attached in order to carry the vacuum, one-handed, to another location. This is especially important when climbing stairs, so there’s a free hand to hold the railing.
Tools integrated on board
Three key cleaning tools - a crevice nozzle for hard to reach corners, an upholstery tool that picks up crumbs and a dusting brush for ceilings and corner cobwebs are neatly integrated under the hood of the vacuum. Easily accessible and always on hand, their built-in compartment also ensures they won’t be misplaced.
Stable around the curves
360-degree castor wheels on solid steel axles ensure a stable turn without tipping. This quality design feature makes it easy to glide over thresholds and around obstructions.
Surround bumper strip protects furniture
A soft plastic bumper strip is fully integrated around the vacuum to protect furniture from unwanted damage.
