Miele Cat and Dog Upright Vacuum Cleaner - 7260 Cat & Dog S7

Miele recently lowered their prices on the Twist to compete in a lower price tier against their competitors. This lower price point makes the Twist by far the best value among all Miele upright vacuums. All Miele S7 series vacuums have essentially the same cleaning ability. The Miele Twist is the most value oriented S7 model and therefore has the least amount of additional features. More expensive models come with features such as automatic suction adjustments based on flooring type and LED guidelights. If you don't mind manually controlling the suction level and you don't vacuum in the dark, the Twist is a great choice for you and you'll save a lot of money over the more expensive S7 models. Also, if you suffer from allergies, you can add a HEPA filter to the S7 Twist for only $49.95.

Formerly a staple of their European product line, the Miele S7260 Cat & Dog Vacuum is a part of Miele's ground-breaking entry into the upright vacuum market and their first pet hair-cleaning vacuum released in the U.S.

The S7260 is part of the Miele S7 Upright Vacuum Series. It combines strong suction power and maneuverability while also being extremely quiet.

• 1200-Watt Vortex Motor System
• 4800 rpm Electronic Brush Roller Motor

For over 80 years, our research, development and quality control laboratories have tested methods to effectively pick up and, most importantly, retain dust and other indoor air pollutants. After collecting volumes of data, engineers and designers continue to reach the firm conclusion that Miele's system is the most effective and hygienic method of removing particulate matter from the home. Miele's exclusive combination of a unique Sealed System design in combination with the following three elements ensure your indoor air quality is pure:

• use of the very best raw materials available;
• revolutionary, electrostatically charged HyClean filtering dustbag with an innovative spring-loaded collar that traps debris;
• a selection of high-quality filter cartridges, including a certified HEPA filter (standard on most S7 vacuum, optional on the Miele Twist).

We, at Miele, recommend that you exercise caution when evaluating other vacuum filtration systems, as there are many gimmicks that do not work as effectively or scientifically. As this is an area where the results can be devastating to young or elderly lungs, or to anyone who suffers from allergies or asthma, you may want to visit a local authorized Miele dealer to discuss the importance of the indoor air quality in your home and how a Miele S7 vacuum cleaner can not only protect it, but also improve it.

A significant benefit of the Miele S7 is its innovative, patented SwivelNeck which allows steering in all directions. The SwivelNeck is so maneuverable the S7 can even be laid flat to the floorwhich makes getting under beds andother low furnishings easier than ever before. Using the foot switch, the casing is disengaged from the floor head and the rear wheels disappear into the body of the vacuum enhancing overall maneuverability without exertion on your body. Movements are fluid, natural and almost effortless. The other key to nimbleness is smooth running front caster wheels that rotate 360-degrees and have non-marring rubber wheels that protect hard, smooth surfaces like tile and wood flooring. The S7 negotiates obstacles with incredible ease and reaches into inaccessible places... between tables, chairs and under chairs. Unlike other vacuum concepts, the Miele S7 provides this maximum agility without making you carry the weight. Thanks to superior engineering, when the vacuum is reclined, the majority of weight is carried by the base electrobrush assembly making it easy to hold and remarkably easy to push. Moving from hard flooring to carpeting? No problem. The floor switch raises the electrobrush making it smooth to jump from one surface to another. The electrobrush can be turned off, stopping the agitator bar, letting the suction power do all of the heavy lifting.

Built-in Conveniences

With the S7, useful accessory cleaning tools are always close at hand. With just a click, the flexible suction hose is Ready for use. This 12-foot long hose and the lightweight stainless steel suction tube are ideal for cleaning entire staircases or other once inaccessible places. An innovative anti-tipping device on the S7 stops the vacuum from falling over (which is typical of other products) when using the above the floor cleaning tools.

All Within Reach

Scratch sensitive furniture and decorative moldings are best cleaned using the dusting brush. Thanks to its soft bristles, this accessory is thorough yet gentle. The extra-long crevice nozzle is just the right tool to clean narrow, hardto- reach nooks and crannies…like between sofa cushions, leaving no hiding places for even the smallest of crumbs. A large upholstery brush is the final on-board accessory and lets you quickly groom sofa and chair cushions…its exceptional when tackling pet hair and other debris. All accessories fit the handle and the telescopic suction wand. And, because motor power can be regulated, delicate surfaces and fabrics such as curtains and lamp shades can easily be cleaned. Of course, the super-long power cord provides the ultimate convenience… vacuuming Without inconvenient interruptions to switch power outlets.The S7 is equipped with a 39-foot long cord and together with its flexible suction hose and telescopic wand, offers a massive radius…an amazingly convenient cleaning reach!
