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.

Hi DIB, I'm not going to knock the S7 until I've tried it. http://www.miele.co.uk/Resources/OperatingInstructions/S%207.pdf Best, Venson
Hello Venson:
I second that motion and raise it! Thanks for posting the User Guide, Venson. I'll read it and familiarize myself with it before I see the demo at the local MIELE dealer. While some flatter themselves by comparing the S7 to the dyson ball, they are way off base. This model [the S7] is a direct hit by MIELE on the RICCAR and Simplicity uprights. Why? In part because the RICCAR/Simplicity brands have taken alot of the canister market's new sales away from MIELE in recent years. MIELE is reciprocating in kind. Dyson is not even on the radar screen in this skirmish save the big box store sales venue which dyson uses too. I suspect tho that the indy vacuum stores in the USA will embrace the S7 with more enthusiasm and support than they have for dysons. Carmine D.

You should send MIELE a bill for your trouble. I'm sure HANS would pay it.  I really dont understand their canadian deal with the tire warehouse??.Somebody knows someone. I can see the advertising slogan now,come in for 4 tires and get a free oil change and a MIELE S-7. MOLE Canadian Tire has long been one of Canada's largest retailers of housewares and have always seemed to get the "up and coming'" when it comes to vaccums. As the Meile rep told our local dealer, Miele wants volume and the independents aren't giving the numbers they want. Sears is next on the horizon for Miele, rumor is spring 09 for that to happen. The S7 finally appeared in our CT flyer last week and was selling for $499 with a "buy one box of bags and get another free" offer. That sound you hear is Canadian Miele dealers dialing Riccar and Sebo to see if they can carry their product. Dusty

Dusty How does it feel to be thrown under the bus by the dealers favorite brand?.You are QUICK to catch on, I know you can get around them,i wish you luck,if you think SEBO,AND TACONY are any different,their NOT, Carmine and I forwarned you guys a long time ago. Get into the central market and rebuilt vacuums, and the always lucritive parts and service business. [BEEN THERE DONE THAT ,AND HEARD THE COMPANY B.S. stories from begining to end]. DONT LET THEM PLAY YOU FOR A SUCKER,even though they will gloat about what a wonderful company they are,after they run you over forward and backwards. Tell them to kiss your BUTT........ sincerly THE-MOLE |

Dusty I recall years ago, many saying that Miele would never enter the upright market, especially in the USA! Look at the competition. Who is it?. Miele has an established name and reputation in the USA vacuum industry with a network of dealers in place. It is in a prime position to shake up the upscale upright market in the USA. With the dollar down at an all time low against all the currencies in the world, including the Euro and Deutsch mark, Miele is in a catbird seat to rule the upright vacuum world starting with the USA: The largest market for uprights. Miele is launching uprights and plans 6-7 models. Wow. How many years does it take other vacuum makers to launch that many upright models? No, Miele is not just trying to satisfy its cann customers who like uprights. Miele is on a mission to dominate the upscale upright market especially in the USA. I can't think of a better time to do it. All the right mix of business factors are in place. Carmine D.
Worth reading/rereading if you are so inclined. If you look back in this thread when the prices were thought to be $700-$900 for the S7 models, I disagreed. I said expect prices in the $500 range. I didn't bother to excerpt and post here but you can go back and read if you're interested. ITYS.
