Miele S168 Universal Upright

Ideal Vacuum For Small And Medium Sized Apartments

The material used in the construction of this Miele universal upright vacuum is the same material used to make football helmets.

This assures the purchaser of a durable, lasting product when they buy a Miele S168.

A HEPA filter is another of the features of this Miele upright vacuum that help to keep the air free of allergens and dust.

Removing 99.97% of particles that are present, it also removes odors from the home.

Miele has designed the S168 universal upright vacuum with airtight seals and joints that fit exceptionally well to keep the system sealed.

This helps improve suction and keeps dust in the machine, rather than in the air.

Using an electronic speed control that varies according to the suction needed for cleaning whatever type of floor you have is another great feature.

A quick release for the cord allows the use of the generous 26 feet of cord and a clip system holds the cord when you are storing the vacuum.

Miele S168 Review

Miele S168

When purchasing this upright Miele vacuum you will notice the following features:

• The handle is designed to adjust the wand allowing for the perfect height for all users.
• The wand is another aspect of this vacuum that makes cleaning under furniture a breeze.
• Soft bristles are designed so you will not scratch wood floors when vacuuming and thread lifters are a feature that picks up the lint that is known to accumulate on carpets.
• An on-board caddy holds the tools needed for extra cleaning, such as the upholstery tool and a power brush. The power brush allows the ultimate in cleaning of carpet with deep pile.
• The Miele S168 has a 2 year warranty on the suction motor. The non-wearing features have a 1 year warranty.
• The motor is 1000 watts, yet is a very quiet running motor.
• The vacuum contains a multi-layer system for filtering.

If you are short or tall or in between the telescopic attributes of the handle allow the custom fit just right for your height. This telescopic wand will adjust to just the right height to allow the user to feel comfortable while vacuuming. No bending over because of a wand that is too short for your height. This stops the incidence of an aching back after vacuuming.

The wand can be used at a lower level such as below the vacuum. This makes cleaning under beds and other furniture a breeze. The dust bunnies will disappear with ease when using this vacuum.

Carpets are known for the lint they generate. The Miele S168 takes care of this aspect as well as smooth floors. The soft bristles for using on wood floors will keep it from becoming scratched while cleaning it thoroughly.

The tool caddy that is included on the Miele 168 features an upholstery tool for the best cleaning of furniture. The removal of pet hair is easy when using this tool. Included is a power brush that will clean the deepest pile carpets. There is also a crevice tool that allows for cleaning tight corners.

The motor is quite a difference from the older vacuums. It runs much quieter allowing the user to hear the telephone, the doorbell or their children while vacuuming. Although it is a powerful 1000 watts, the noise is kept to a minimum.

A multi-layer system for removing dust and allergens from the air includes a HEPA filter. The filter can remove the smallest particles right down to 0.3 microns. Odors that may linger are removed and the dust bag is a double layer to keep dirt contained. There is also the option of removing the filtration system to take the small particles out of the exhaust.

Advantages

The Miele S168 has very good suction and the style is top notch. The removal of allergens and dust with the HEPA filter make this a desirable vacuum especially for those who own pets. The wheels are great for maneuverability. The quiet operation is definitely another plus.

Disadvantages

This vacuum is a smaller vacuum; however it is designed to be used in apartments rather than homes. All in all, the only disadvantage that could be found with this vacuum is it is a bit pricey. The vacuum is priced from $399 to $549 depending upon where it is purchased.

Summary

The Miele S168 is the perfect vacuum for those who live in apartments or lofts. The power and maneuverability is perfect for this size home.

If the vacuum should develop a suction problem within 2 years, it is covered by a warranty. In addition all components that are not subject to normal wear and tear are covered by a one year warranty.
