Consumer Benefits
• The included Miele TurboTeQ brush is the ideal choice for pet owners looking for outstanding cleaning results. The brush effortlessly removes hair, threads and fluff from short-pile carpets and hard floors – without getting stuck to the surface. Due to the direct drive provided by the air stream, there is no need for a separate connection.
• The integrated 2-in-1 upholstery and crevice nozzle allows users to switch between cleaning tasks quickly and easily. It combines an extra-wide upholstery nozzle and a crevice nozzle in a space-saving design – for easy cleaning of upholstery and hard-to-reach areas. Thanks to its convenient storage location in the rear part of the vacuum cleaner, it is ready to hand at any time.
• Miele’s AllTeQ universal floorhead makes vacuuming incredibly smooth and can be adjusted to suit the flooring being cleaned. The extending brush and the compact design guarantee excellent suction power on carpets and hard floors. The rubberised roller will not scratch hard floors. Wide thread lifters on the underside are very efficient at removing hair.
• Miele’s Flexible XL Crevice Nozzle makes quick and easy work of cleaning deep gaps and joints.
• The Active AirClean filter with active charcoal filters unpleasant odours effectively.
• As is the case for all corded vacuum cleaners from Miele, Guard is tested for the equivalent of 20 years’ use. During the development phase, Miele tested models and core components at various power levels for 750 hours of use (= 37.5 hours p.a.). More information can be found at miele.com/20years
Technical Innovation
• Made of more than 80 % recycled material, Miele’s new HyClean Pure TU vacuum cleaner bags offer outstanding performance and efficiency with an impressive filtration rate of 99.99% of all dust particles.
• The ComfortFit system makes it particularly easy to insert vacuum cleaner bags, while the secure closure ensures that no dust escapes and that the bag can be changed in a particularly hygienic manner.
Operational Features
• Four power levels for curtains/fabrics, upholstery, carpets and hard floors.
• The Comfort Handle with integrated dusting brush offers ergonomic handling and fast cleaning in the event of little mishaps.
• Clever accessories always ready to hand for convenient cleaning of upholstery, crevices and delicate surfaces.
• Plus/minus foot controls allow the suction power to be easily adjusted without the effort of bending over.
• A touch control function allows the entire cable to be rewound at the touch of a button.
• A park system makes it easy to take a break when vacuuming – the floorhead is simply hooked onto the rear of the vacuum cleaner, leaving the suction tube in a secure position ready for use again.
