Learn More About Miele Vacuums

Different home types require a different style of vacuum. Miele vacuums come in canister, upright, and robotic vacuums.

Many customers seeking a canister have difficulty deciding between different models. Miele offers three different styles of canister vacuums; Complete, Compact, and Classic. The different models offer different options depending on what your home requires.

The Complete series offers the highest level of performance and convenience. This vacuum line features offers the largest operating radius, and integrated accessories. For convenience, suction settings can easily be changed by the footswitch or handle control, whichever the vacuum offers. A great mid-range option is the Miele compact series. The 33-foot operating radius will have you larger sections of your home without needing to find another power source. Six suction settings are controlled with the rotary dial on the front of the vacuum. For the more budget conscious shopper, the Classic series is ideal. The classic series still features the powerful 1200 watt Miele-made vortex motor like the other vacuum series, and like the compact series has a VarioClip for the included accessories.

If you prefer an upright vacuum, Miele offers homeowners their Dynamic Series. The Dynamic upright vacuums come equipped with a swivel neck feature that is unparalleled to any other upright vacuum. The Dynamic upright vacuums can lay nearly flat on the floor without lifting the brush head from the floor's surface, maintaining constant contact and suction, while clearance under furniture and beds is a breeze. While laying flat against the floor, the Miele Dynamic upright is a slim 7.5", half the height of other uprights when laid flat on the floor. Plus, with a 54' operating radius, you can clean an entire room without the need to move the cord to another outlet. Additionally, the HEPA filtration system and sealed system construction promote clean air in your home in addition to simply removing dirt from the floor. A variable speed motor on the Miele uprights provides different speeds for different floor types, which is a feature you rarely see on other industry standard upright vacuums. The Miele Dynamic Uprights also come standard with an LED head lamp for maximum visibility.

Miele’s first robotic vacuum uses smart navigation to clean your home. The powerful lithium-ion battery operates for up to 120 minutes on one charge. With the two-stage AirClean filter, the air, like the floor will be cleaner when the vacuum has finished.

Changing bags in a Miele vacuum is easy and hygienic. The Miele vacuums use a 9 layer, cloth, pillow-shaped bag to collect dust without releasing a single micron back to the environment. These bags are able to do this via a self-sealing mechanism within the bag. Miele bags are color coded to assist in purchasing the right bag for your model. If you know the model of your Miele vacuum, you can click on the bags below to purchase the right bag for you.

Vacuum Direct carries a wide selection of accessories for your Miele vacuum as well. There are a variety of attachments you can purchase for your Miele, including wands, hoses, powerbrushes, air driven brushes, and more. Filters and bags are also available at Vacuum Direct, and each bag purchase comes complete with replacement filters. Nothing could be easier when it comes to keeping your home and the air inside clean!
