Miele Red Star Vacuum

The S314 Red Star Offers Extreme Cleaning Capability

This mid-size canister vacuum is lighter than others in its class, and Miele has equipped the Red Star S314i with a soft-grip handle for easy transport.

Miele does this with each of their canister vacuums because they want you to have different options as you transport your vacuum around the house; you can carry it with the handle or lay the vacuum canister horizontal and use its wheels to maneuver it for optimal cleaning.

Miele's thoughtfulness also led them to develop the Park System, which features a special clip on the canister that holds your vacuum's nozzle and wand if you need to pause for a moment to answer the phone or get the door in the middle of cleaning your house.

Miele S324 Red Star Review

Miele Red Star S314i

Some of the favorite features you'll find on the Miele S314 Red Star:

• Easy handling and storage
• Powerful HEPA filter option
• 1200-watt motor and sealed suction
• Standard crevice and upholstery tools
• Lightweight design
• Thoughtful accessories

The Miele S314 Red Star also features a state-of-the-art HEPA filter. This filter cleans more than just dirt as you vacuum; it pulls microscopic pathogens from the air and purifies it so that you can breathe healthier. This filter operates in tandem with a 4.5 quart dust bag in a sealed system that can capture particles as small as 0.3 micron size.

In effect, this vacuum gives you two appliances in one: it cleans your carpets like never before and it also acts as a superior air purifier. The HEPA filter is a favorite for allergy or asthma sufferers and has been certified to help relieve symptoms.

The Miele Red Star also comes with several convenient accessories including a two-piece standard suction wand, a dusting brush, upholstery nozzle, and crevice tool. You'll also find an SEB213-2 power brush, an SES105 electric hose, and a smooth floor brush that enables you to switch easily from one surface to another.

If you have varied floor surfaces in your home, you know the nuisance that a bad vacuum can cause. Especially on uprights, the floor brush is often too low and this can cause bad suction and sometimes damage to hardwood or tile floors. When you have taken the trouble to install hardwood or tile in your home, you want a vacuum that will clean these surfaces gently and thoroughly.

The Miele S314 Red Star does this in unprecedented style with its smooth floor brush. This brush is composed of soft rotating bristles that essentially do your sweeping for you as they run across your floor. You can then switch the smooth floor brush option off, and resume vacuuming your carpets. The Red Star can self-adjust and handles carpets from high-pile to low with ease.

Advantages

What people enjoy about the Miele Red Star is what they tend to enjoy about most Miele canister vacuums-namely, lightweight design, practical accessories, and extreme cleaning ability-the power brush can scrub even deep-seated dirt and pet hair from your carpet. The unparalleled HEPA filter option is also a favorite.

Disadvantages

First-time users report that getting to know this vacuum is not as intuitive as they would like and took some practice.

Summary

It's easy to see why Miele has become the preferred vacuum in Europe. You can literally hear this sleek little machine sucking the dirt off your carpet, and the Miele Red Star's versatility makes it a household staple. You can suck up wood splinters and gravel one minute, then attach the hose and gently clean your laptop keyboard the next!
