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.

Carmine,
The Miele “swivel” launching[?] at Best Buy is an obvious attempt to siphon off or profit from Dyson proving out another segment... the Dyson “steerable’s”. Like leaches, Miele and Hoover Uk wait for Dyson to spend the big money on television advertising and only then do they launch their swivels. Dyson invented steerable’s, Miele and Hoover UK have unpatentable swivelables.

Hello DIB: I was at a BEST BUY store here in Las Vegas and did not see/hear of the new MIELE S7 launch. May be due to the fact that the Appliance Associate at BB relocated from another department and is just learning the ropes. Also of note since my visit in April 2008, the floor space for vacuums is substantially downsized. And all the display vacuums, which have been significantly culled since my last visit, are plugged in and ready for buyers to use. MIELE is a top tier bagged, high end, premium made vacuum with a well known reputation for German made quality. The vacuum industry agrees that MIELE-s last on an average of 20 years. If and when MIELE S7 makes a presence in BEST BUY stores, and any others, it should sell itself with little or no need for the sales staff intercessions. Carmine D.

Carmine,
You do the rope-a-dope when you're put on the spot. I have never backed down from yours or Moles baiting. I like a challenge. DIB

I am always amused when people talk of European quality. All they have to do is over price their products and Americans assume it is the best.

Hello HS:
Ironic that a former dyson user like yourself should raise this point. It's a good point and not necessarily attributed to Americans alone. Japanese buyers are notorious for this misconception and they are big spenders on new gadgets and gimmickry. To your credit my friend you didn't buy your dyson. It was a gift you used for several years and then sold. Price high, use subtle comparisons with veteran industry leaders, throw in a false claim, maybe a new gimmick and voila: The makings of an excellent product marketing strategy. Especially for new brands/products that don't have a track record. However, if the present global economic malaise doesn't, time/experience will correct the misguided perceptions. The reality sets in and the erroneous notions disappear. Consumers are stuck with fair to average performing products for years because of their high prices [and their gullibility]. MIELE has a well deserved reputation for quality canisters. No doubt the German engineering and fastidiousness to the minor seemingly unimportant details [like the bags and filters]. Time will tell if this translates and transfers to its new line of uprights. Carmine D.

BTW, CATLADY [aka Melanie], when you get your 2009 stimulus payment, remember you heard it here first! Carmine D.
The gang of 535 and prominent White House staff are hinting heavily at another citizen stimulus payment worth $150-175 BILLION possibly enacted/passed during the lame duck administration/Congress. Even Fed Chief Bernanke is on board. Did someone say: Isn't socialism great?
