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.

Well said Trebor.  I believe vacuum makers/reps "police" this site and are following Catlady's developments closely.  The MIELE rep may/may not have a personal and professional relationship with the local MIELE dealer.  Usually they do and are loyal to the local dealers.  Their bread and butter.  Corporate is Catlady's best recourse if the local MIELE dealer can't satisfy her.

Thank you, Carmine. All those thousands of vac demos, design presentations, and years of Toastmasters have paid off when it's time to string a few words together.

(If it means anything) I actually had an S7 Customer come into the store today saying how fantastic a job their new vacuum is doing on their floors!

Just got an email from eBay today. About 10 Miele S7510s are up for sale in the UK for the equivalent of slightly under $500 each (GBP 359.58). Is that a deal? I checked online by way of Argos and some other online vendors but don't see Miele uprights in their inventory though several canisters are offered.

Thanks,

Argos don't stock the more expensive Mieles - no powernozzle models, for instance.

The S7510 can be found brand new on eBay for as low as £295, plus £8 shipping. Looking at online retailers:

- appliancenet has it for £289.48

- Buyers & Sellers has it for £299

- Redhill Appliances has it for £308

- electricshop.com has it for £309.99

- Hughes Direct has it for £320

- Kitchenscience.com has it for £323.18

- appliancesdirect.co.uk has it for £325.92.

- 365electrical has it for £329

Some have slight additional shipping charges, but even factoring that in, all of them seem to cost less than £359.58. Since the TOL AutoCare HEPA S758 can be found from online retailers as low as £344, the eBay deal you mention doesn't sound like such a bargain!

Thanks Model2,

I was trying to get price comparisons for Europe and the U.S. Here, prices range as high as $950.00 for the two top S7 models.

Best,

Hiya Melanie,

Any news yet?

Hi,

I've been looking around for vacuum news of interest. Haven't found a lot but was most surprised to learn that March is National Vacuum Month.

AND - - the following link leads to an article regarding an inventive Miele dealer down Texas way. He's going for a "Spring Cleaning Kick-off" event.
