Miele introduces the S2 Canister Vacuum Series, the quiet and powerful Olympus, Delphi and Titan. These very lightweight, yet robust canister vacuums feature Miele incredibly powerful Vortex Motor System, a super efficient AirClean filtration system and start at around $350. Ideal for first-time buyers, the S2 canister vacuum cleaners provide exceptional performance, quality, filtration, nimble handling and remarkably quiet operation at an outstanding value.

Many convenient features are seamlessly integrated into the vacuum such as large foot switches, a 29½ foot operating radius and an intuitive rotary power selector. The all new combination carpet / smooth floor tool was specifically designed for the S2 Series with a FiberteQ glass fiber-reinforced polymer base making it extremely lightweight and quiet. The transition from hard flooring to carpeting is particularly smooth and convenient. The S2 can easily handle the switch from hard floors and low and deep pile carpeting, to upholstery, cushions and even drapes. The stainless steel telescopic suction tube can be parked in an upright position during breaks in vacuuming in a fitting location between the On/Off and cable rewind controls. The on-board VarioClip tool conveniently holds an upholstery nozzle, crevice tool and dusting brush for special cleaning tasks. Another attractive feature of the S2 canister vacuum is the machine Silence Setting that makes the vacuum incredibly quiet during operation.

The S2 Series vacuums are engineered with an AirClean filtration system, one of the most advanced on the market. The 9-layer unique filtering dust bag has a large capacity and allows 25 percent longer usage compared to the previous generation. The bag is extremely tear-proof and allows hygienic handling and removal. A motor protection filter and active HEPA-filter which is standard on the S 2180 Titan model, complete the system.

Like all products from Miele, the new canister vacuum cleaners is built to a rigorous 20-year life design model - a Miele unique quality standard. In practice, this means that the machine must withstand a 1,000-hour endurance test before production can begin. A number of other critical tests are performed including a threshold test, a cable rewind test and a free fall test to ensure the durability of the machine and its components. All Miele vacuum cleaners are tested before leaving the factory to ensure perfection and come with a 7-year motor warranty.

Miele’s entire Independence series is Energy Star-qualified, including the line’s refrigerators, which traditionally are one of the most energy-hungry appliances in the home. The refrigerators use high-performance dual compressors, improved insulation and more precise temperature and defrost technology to boost efficiency. “Achieving a greener refrigerator that complied with Energy Star was a design goal when we developed the Independence Series,” stated Matthew Kueny, senior product manager for Miele. “Our proprietary technology and quality standards have helped us redefine just how much energy a refrigerator could save–far more than an average refrigerator–or even an average Energy Star model.”

Going forward, Miele engineers are looking to develop technology that will enable appliances to work more intelligently with the emerging infrastructure of the Smart Grid. These advancements are intended to deliver further economic and environmental benefits to consumers.

The new Miele Hybrid is the first vacuum cleaner equipped with lithium-ion batteries that offers total freedom of movement and an unlimited range. This high quality vacuum is the first compact cleaner to run effectively on AC or battery independently, alone with all the functionality. Thanks to the advanced technology you will never loose suction as the 1,800 watt motor runs smoothly with no interruption and no power loss. The efficient Miele Hybrid is ideal for cleaning stairs, mezzanines, curtains, car, garage, workshop and other ancillary areas which would be difficult to clean with either conventional corded or underpowered hand held vacuum.

The lightweight and powerful lithium-ion batteries are designed to last 10 years and recharge automatically when Miele Hybrid operates on AC. Alternatively, they can be independently charged in 3 hours. They provide up to 20 minutes of non stop cleaning, the time it takes to vacuum the car or clean some 22 small daily incidents, or 100 stair steps, or a surface of 80 square meters.

The Miele Hybrid is also protected against possible but unlikely overheating because of an accidental air stream blockage. The motor stops automatically once the temperature reaches certain limit and will only resume operating when it drops.
