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.

Please if you buy one go to your local brick and morter store we are generally locally owned or like me my store is myself and a part timer, most like myself will eat the tax and if you need service trust me it is much better if product was purchased here

Good advice to US consumers.  The small business owners/operators are the back bone of the US economy.  Sadly even supposedly intelligent consumers will drive past several local and neighborhood businesses to buy a product cheaper from a big box store.  When the product fails under/past warranty and needs service, then they go to their local shop owners/operators for recourse.   Then curse the store/business for trying to make a meager profit/decent wage on the repairs and parts.

Hi

Regarding the Miele American line of S7s, does anyone know the difference between the black Bolero and red Tango?  I am guessing that it is merely a matter of an extra doo-dad for cleaning up after pets,

Thanks,

Yes, Lucky is correct - metallic red paint. Everything else should be identical

It may be, like the two top-of-the-line European versions, that one has a "clean air" filter and the other a HEPA.  The model with the HEPA version also had a mini turbo nozzle.  Both are supposed to have a mattress tool (a wider than usual upholstery nozzle) as well.  I don't know how much of that got carried over to us.

Yes the vacs are either auto suction  control or manual dial the latter is least expensive and I would recommend

Venson,
They re-worked the lineup for North America and ALL the S7 series line has an Active HEPA filter (exact same HEPA that is used in their S300-S600 series cans) and headlamp.  The first 3 in the series are identical except for color (manual speed change) and the last 2 in the series are identical except for color (auto/electric speed adjustment). No extra mattress tools or turbo nozzles included with any, fortunately or unfortunately.

Thanks RAD1,

Shoppers would be better served with no more than two or three models.   As Miele always seems to do, it will produce high-priced product and then require the buyer to accept niceties that have been worked into the price of lower-priced vacuums as options that will also come at high prices.  The Miele mini turbo tool, no more than its $10.00 generic equivalents, sells for approximately $70.00. It's annoying when companies of supposed high repute get into nickel and diming.
