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.

Unfortunately I'm in a canister market so I doubt I won't set any sales records for them but I rate it as one of the Best Uprights I've encountered.
Hello Lucky1:
Just in time for the Holiday sales. Obviously, you will keep one displayed prominently where all the store traffic can see and ask about! Please share with us your customers' reactions and impressions when they see/use. Weight will be a concern for some customers. But I'm curious to learn what MIELE customers think about the new upright as well as the general vacuum public. The target market for these uprights, along with quality vacuum buyers, is MIELE cann buyers/users who secretly prefer uprights but compromised personal likes for the MIELE brand. Over the years, they settled for the MIELE cann's. There is an existing pent up demand for uprights by these MIELE customers and you may be surprised by the number of sales. MIELE needs to promote this angle aggressively and shake up and out these customers' interest now. I suspect MIELE will in early December in time for Christmas sales. Also, many customers bought into the bagless hype and purchased the high priced uprights during the last 5 years from the big box retailers. Thinking these were quality made and would save them money. But now they have grown tired of the extra care and effort these bagless vacuums require to use and maintain. Like dirt bin dumping daily. And/or the time, effort, and difficulty required for obtaining service/parts. These customers are looking now to lock in a known vacuum brand with a reputation for lasting 20 years and an existing network of dealer authorized stores who service and support the brand. They will want to trade/upgrade their exisiting vacuums; or relegate them to the second level, basement and/or garage. This is an easy and convenient way for vacuum buyers to justify an out-of-pocket expense for another/new vacuum. If I recall correctly, you said months back that your geographic area is insulated from the bad economic conditions. If this is still the case, these new MIELE uprights, among the vacuum customers I described, should be a very good seller for you. Congratulations and good luck Carmine D.

HEAVY? Yes!
Without weighing them, and due to the balance/lift points it actually seems heavier than the Synergy. I wouldn't want to be 98LBS and have to carry it up a flight....but it trundles very easily. The VERY LONG extending hose that doesn't tip the machine is VERY IMPRESSIVE. Great for stairs..... but then, you have to bring it up to clean the 2nd floor>...LOL. Unless you buy 2!
Well . . . the specs say they weigh in at 9.5 kilos. That's around 19 pounds, maybe a little over --- right? A good deal lighter than Granny's Hoover. On the bright side it will make up for the gym sessions you can't afford after you buy it. Venson PS -- Thanks for the heads-up.

Hi Lucky1: Here is the post that led me to the conclusion I made above: Re: Big Hit on the London Markets

Property taxes in my area of NY at least, are tied to an Index. This allows your evaluation to rise and/or fall but when multiplied by the index # they can get the amount of money they want to extort...err... assess from you. It's a no win situation for the Homeowner. Lower house value... higher Index to multiply by.
The only way to cut taxes is to have the powerful Civil/Police/Firefighter and Teacher Unions accept lower wages and benefits like most other Americans are experiencing....THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!
YOU work for the Government now...they do not work for you. Their sense of entitlement is brazen.
In North Jersey the Governor wants small towns to group together and share overlapping services to save the Taxpayers money. They outright refuse. One town supervisor was quoted as saying "You can't do that...We would have to lay people off". GEEEZ ...What is every other Business in the US doing to help cut costs? There are Town Clerks here making $85-$125 Thou and Police making The same and Chiefs making more. These are sleepy bedroom communities. I inferred from the above that at least in your local area everything was status quo and business as usual despite the dire economic forecasts for the months ahead. Carmine D.

Hi all, Just making note of my first sighting of the Miele S7s. The "Tango Red" model (S7580) is selling for $949.00 at one online vendors site. There's a "Bolero" model running at $899.00 and three other models at $749.00 each at the same site. Shipping is free and of course if you buy it from an out of state vendor you will most likely not have to be saddled with sales tax. The listings don't make clear the differences between many of the models. I have not included a link as this is just the first actual sale site I've encountered and I also don't think Miele deserves the boost considering the prices. Venson
