Miele Pisces Canister Vacuum Cleaner, S5281 Pisces S5 - Royal Blue

Filters

• Active H.E.P.A. Filter (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filter not only captures and retains tiny, lung-damaging particles (including dust mite feces and pollen)

• Are so well designed that they only need to be replaced after 50 hours of use, or approximately 12 months
• There is also a convenient spot to write the date on the filter, which takes the guesswork out of when the filter should be replaced.

Like all products from Miele, Miele canister vacuums are 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 - every single one - are tested before leaving the factory to ensure perfection. This steadfast commitment to quality and ultimate customer satisfaction is truly Miele-unique. And Miele offers a 7-year motor warranty.

Warrany and Reliability

• The standard warranty period is 1 year for vacuum parts and labor, and 7 years for motor parts and labor for Miele machines.
• The two fan motor design means that it extends the life of the motor by reducing the wear on the ball bearings and motor brushes.
• Each vacuum has a heat sensor which comes on when there is a clog and therefore prevents the vacuum cleaner from overheating.
• All Miele canisters have a dust bag change indicator to let you when the bag is at full capacity and needs to be changed.
• The amount of testing that Miele does before they release their machines from the factory is without peer in the industry.
