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.

The Miele Earth canister vacuum boasts some of the most energy-saving advancements the industry has to offer. Featuring an AutoEco setting that automatically detects flooring (carpet, smooth floors) the Earth vacuum adjusts power for optimal cleaning performance and energy efficiency. Homeowners tend to think that the highest power setting is best for cleaning all surfaces. This is absolutely a myth. The high setting should be used only on smooth floors. Upholstery, drapes and carpets require specific settings for optimal cleaning and using AutoEco will not only save tremendously in energy consumption, but also will provide better performance and long term care for home furnishings.

Other 'green' features of the Miele Earth vacuum include: construction to an industry admired self-imposed 20 year life design model; the use of virgin polymers that are marked for easy recycling; cadmium and lead-free coatings; water-based paints; plus, low energy consumption. Miele vacuums are proven cleaner for indoor air as all fine dust and allergens are trapped in its unique Sealed System featuring a certified HEPA filter and unique filtering dustbag. Miele's revolutionary Filter-Bag consist of multi-ply, random-spun filter material and protective netting to reinforce the outer layer in order to ensure that dust and debris safely stays in the bag. Inside a Filter-Bag, air guides distribute dust evenly throughout the bag, achieving a 25% longer life cycle without any loss in performance. A downstream HEPA filter then captures even the tiniest of particles – retaining lung damaging particles inside the vacuum.

• The Active HEPA filter captures allergens like dust mite feces and pollen and conforms to the stringent European EN1822 filtration standard, trapping 99.99% of all particles as tiny as 0.3 microns.
• The Sealed System construction of the canister keeps all the dust inside, providing maximum protection for indoor air quality.
• The Generally Activated Charcoal Filter traps chemicals and odors.
• The 1200 Watt Miele Vortex Motor provides strong suction with optimal usage of power.
• Miele vacuum cleaners are tested to last a minimum of 1,000 operating hours or an average of 20 years residential use.
• Pre-motor filter protects the motor from debris.
• AutoEco (automatic motor control) setting for optimal performance on any floor type while saving electricity.
• Impressive 30 ft. operating radius with a convenient automatic cord rewind switch.
• The durable ABS plastic body is surrounded by rubber bumper guards to protect furniture, and the independent, rubber, 360 swivel wheels won't damage floors and provides unmatched maneuverability.
• State-of-the-art soft touch finish is scratch-resistant with a contemporary appeal.
• Exclusive rib-cage canister design allows the air to continuously circulate around the entire bag, maintaining strong airflow as the bag becomes full.
• Large Air Clean dust bag with a 4.76 quart capacity that allows for longer use.
• Constructed of 9 durable layers to prevent sharp objects from penetrating the bag, the dust bag is spring-loaded, so it closes automatically for dust-free removal and hygienic disposal.

• Filter change indicator light lets you know when it's time to change the HEPA filter.
