Power

  • 1200-watt, high-output Miele-made Vortex Motor SystemTM
    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)

  • Filters
    Active H.E.P.A. Filter

    The Active H.E.P.A. (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filter not only captures and retains tiny, lung-damaging particles (including dust mite feces and pollen), it also uses the same Generally Activated Charcoal filter (GAC) that the Active Air Clean filter uses to absorb odors.
    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
    4.76-quart IntensiveClean Plus PlusTM Dustbags with flap for dust-free removal (2-supplied)
    The layered special fabric of this dustbag has many advantages
    • 20% longer suction performance.
    • 15% improved filtration
    • Impact foil preventing sharp-edged objects, such as pine needles, glass and sand from penetrating the bag
    • Automatic dustbag closure for hygienic removal and disposal
  • Canister Construction
    Sealed SystemTM 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.

Perfect compromise among Miele vacuums
Reviewed by Scattergood (Frequent User) from Timberlake, NC on Aug 25, 2008
Verified Buyer
BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
I'm retired, but my wife is still working, so I'm happy to assume the cleaning duties. Our home is a mix of hardwood floors, wall-to-wall carpet, and braided area rugs. Since the vacuum comes with both parquet floor and powered brush heads, it's the perfect compromise vacuum for us. We added the powered upholstery brush - genius idea and design. The power cord is a bit short, but if that's the trade-off for internal cord storage with positive return, it's worth a minor inconvenience. Bags and filters are expensive but worth it. Good to have multiple levels of filters - buy only what you need such as HEPA, activated charcoal. My wife has long, fine hair that wraps around conventional powered brushes. And since the powered brush turns off and on with a thumb switch, it's easy to remove the bulk of the hair without finding it wrapped hopelessly around the rotating brush. Easy to clean, store, change bags & filters, maneuver. The non-round wand has positive detents, and the length adjusts with no effort. Accessory attachments are versatile - for example, the dusting brush rotates 360. Put that on the end of the wand, and you can dust corners at both ceiling and floor and wainscot moulding in between. Amazingly quiet. You must change suction levels manually, but I think the high-priced automatic suction model would be "confused" and not work well in our home. We considered other brands, but the Miele won every comparison. Our biggest challenge was deciding WHICH Miele. This one definitely is a best buy.
Pros: Powerful/Good Suction, Quiet, Efficient, Easy to Use, Lightweight
Best Uses: Regular Carpet, Long HUMAN hair, Hardwood Floors, Nooks and crannies
Cons: Short Power Cord

Best Vacuum Ever! It really sucks!
Reviewed by Sucker (Frequent User) from Long Island, NY on Jun 19, 2008
Verified Buyer
BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
I use my Miele almost every day (sometimes more than once a day). It is so easy to use, and does a great job quietly. It glides across the floor easily. It does a great job on area rugs on the lower settings. The only downsides are that it is expensive, and you have to buy the replacement bags on-line. I have not been able to find a store that carrys the bags.
Best Uses: Couch, Area Rugs, Tile Floor, carpet, Hardwood Floors
Pros: Long Power Cord, Powerful/Good Suction, Lightweight, Efficient, Easy to Use, Quiet, Glides across floors
Cons: Pricey

great piece of german engineering...
Reviewed by GZ (Frequent User) from Jamaica Plain, MA on Jan 24, 2008
Verified Buyer
BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
Great vacuum. A few negatives only: 1. The hose should be attached to the vacuum with a rotating 360 degree ability instead of fixed, which makes it a bit awkward at times. 2. Having to change the brushes between hardwood floors and carpet. Surely one brush could be adapted to do both? 3. Rather pricey if you want to buy the powerbrush option for carpets. Otherwise, the best vacuum I have ever used.
Best Uses: Hardwood Floors
Pros: Quiet, Powerful/Good Suction, Efficient, Long Power Cord, Lightweight
