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.

Best of luck DC18.

Thanks Venson, Good Luck to you too.

I wished they would put a bit more info on the website to have a look at!  Sure they will at some point!

I signed up as well.  Haven't yet seen one of these in person, but would love to.

Good luck to everyone else who entered, hopefully one of us here will be the lucky recipient!

I've run into my first problem by purchasing the new Miele before it is officially released.  My Vac Shop cannot get the vacuum bags and I have run out.  If anyone knows where I can get vacuum bags for the new Miele, please let me know.

Thanks.

Hey Melanie,

First of all when you go back to your vac shop, tell them there is such things as stopping a moment to think.  Per Miele headquarters in New York, there are bags available.  I am told about fifty-some boxes (four bags per box) are on hand.

You may not place the order yourself but must go back to your MIele dealer and ask him to call 1-800-999-1360 and request part number 07282050.  Please note that the phone rep I spoke with would not inform me of the price per box.

Hope this helps,

Venson

Thank you Venson.  I will call them tomorrow with that information.
Melanie

Hi Melanie,

You're very welcome.  If you don't mind saying, please let us know what the going price is for the bags.

Best,

Venson

Thanks Dusty.  I noticed the article saying that the S7 is self-propelled.  Cool.  As two models are shown (one silver, one red), I wonder if one or both are.

Venson, Dusty:

Thanks for the Miele S7 upright info, Dusty.  Good review of the Miele S7 and dyson DC24 by Joanne Richards of th Toronto Sun.

Venson, I noticed from the pics that the S7 silver has a headlight and the S7 red does not.  I suspect both S7 models are self propelled.
