The New Miele Upright Cleaner

First upright from Miele | | 29 February 2008
This summer, Miele will launch its first range of upright vacuum cleaners – the S7. It will consist of about six models, all of which feature ultra large dust bags and “a unique swivel body, which makes it easy to manoeuvre in even the trickiest of room layouts”. According to the company, the decision was made following numerous requests from customers that wanted to buy Miele but would only use an upright model.

Venson,
Thanks for the reply. I will attempt to take my pro-Dyson hat off for a minute and praise Miele on their swivel (regardless of the free play in the steering), carriage wheels and floating brush bar (if it has not been done before). Price aside and bag/bagless aside I would absolutely support and give my business to Miele and their innovative thinking over TTI and their Slalom. Although Miele’s past of going after Dyson is an entirely different issue.
Now my Dyson hat is back on... the cost of the Miele bags must be brutal over the years (I have not followed this thread closely and no nothing of the bag costs).

TTI has nothing to do with the Hoover Slalom, launched by Hoover UK. TTI, Thanks. The two may be headquartered on different continents. But they behave the same; look to Dyson for their future products. I’ve unintentionally swapped the two companies before (on prior posts). DIB

Laying flat the hieght is just 6 inches, saw them last night, us Diamond dealers get them Thanksgiving 
Hello Actionvac:
Outstanding! THank you for the info. To my knowledge that's the lowest clearance for any full size upright in the industry. Even beats the ORECK. I understand the MIELE S7 line, at least for now, is strictly German born/made and exported to North America. And the price is primo. Carmine D.

The price will be 699-899 so inline or under other high end vacuums, most of the inards come from the cannisters including motors and brushbars which have been almost indestuctable over the years, the pretesting has been going on for years they drop them like 5000 times , release handle 20,000 times , bend cord 20,000 times and the like, this is a 20 year type of vacuum , in respect that is like the life of 15 or so cheap bagless vacs, it has the self adjusting roller as well as the upper end has self adjusting suction setting, the steering worked well and the 15ft extension does not tip the vacuum (huge bonus) and is the most beautifull vacumm ever made LOL, in response to the high cost of bags most spending 700-900 on a vac give a hoot and these Miele bags hold a bunch of dirt as they will fill to the bursting point, all bagless have expensive filters to clog and cost 25-50.00 a year to keep replaced including Dyson not as often but expensive.The peace of mind of vitually dust free air exhausting back into the air is well worth 15-30 dollars a year for bags
