Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

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.

Hello TTIpowerT:

All the vacuum competition, big box store brands and independent vacuum store brands, is the enemy for dyson campers.  There is no differentiation.  THE FACT is that their leader/guru started with tunnel vision and false tenets which became false claims:  All bagged vacuums get hopelessly clogged and lose suction.   But not his precious bagless!  

THE FACT is that today's buyers prefer a repertoire of household vacuum brands/products including rebuilt classics.  THE FACT is that according to studies only 10 percent of dyson buyers/users are loyal to the brand and they buy less frequently than others too.   DIB bought a DC15 ball over 3 years ago for $300.  HARDSELL was gifted a DC07 years ago and sold it after using for 2 years.  Neither has bought a dyson since.  But they're loyal to the brand!  At least here.  Maybe they're bucking for a new no cost dyson?

A company that focuses on gaining/retaining such loyal brand customers as these isn't doing the smartest thing.  MIELE and TTI Floorcare understand this.  Why?  They've been in business in good times and bad.

Hi,

I emailed Miele and the new S7 uprights are to be released in dealers stores December 8, 2008.

Hi Carmine D

Sorry I phrased my post slightly wrong.  I meant to say that the Miele S7 does lie flat to the floor for under furniture cleaning, not many vacuums these days can do that!

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).

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.

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
