Miele vacuum cleaners are instantly identifiable by their
unique design and stylish character. Careful attention is paid to every curve,
angle and line ensuring that the only thing rivaling the vacuum's beauty is its
functionality. Skillfully crafted to provide easy operation, effortless movement
and remarkable efficiency—Miele's beauty is far more than skin deep.
2) Clip System
Each section of the wand, the hand piece and the floor tool is
firmly connected by Miele's unique locking system and cannot, therefore,
separate unexpectedly. Each piece can be easily released by depressing the
latch.
3) Convenient Park System
For short breaks, the wand and floor tool can simply be
inserted into the park system on the back of the canister. This allows you to
answer the door or the telephone without having to rest the wand assembly
against a wall or furniture where it could potentially fall causing damage or
laying it on the floor, which can be unsafe.
On selected models, when the
park system is used it also switches off the vacuum motor, saving you time when
you are interrupted.
4) Miele Air Filters
At Miele there are three different air filters for different
requirements, each providing superb air cleaning and unsurpassed hygiene levels:
- Super Air Clean Filter: effective filtration for normal requirements.
- Active Air Clean Filter: additionally neutralizes unpleasant odors through
active charcoal.
- Active HEPA Filter: maximum air hygiene, especially suggested for those with
allergies. Additionally, a charcoal layer neutralizes odors.
4) Change Filter Indicator
All S5
models feature an indicator to alert you when it is time to change the Super Air
Clean Filter or the Active HEPA Filter. This feature ensures that optimum
filtration is maintained.
5) Intelligent Automatic Setting
When the automatic setting is selected, the power level of the
vacuum cleaner adjusts automatically to suit the floor surface currently being
cleaned and ensures the most thorough results. And because the guesswork has
been eliminated, there is no need for you to adjust the power level yourself—now
that's technology working for you!
6) Parquet Floor Brush SBB 300-3
A mixture of polyamide and natural hair ensures a gentle
cushion for this floor brush which makes sure that tile, wood and other smooth
surfaces are cleaned thoroughly with extreme care. It has a 90° rotation and is
exceptionally agile at cleaning around obstacles such as table legs and in tight
places.
7) Comfort and Versatility: The Miele
Wand
Vacuuming with a bent back is not only exhausting but also
places unnecessary strain on your back. Thanks to the telescopic adjustment on
all Miele S5
vacuum cleaners, the length of the suction wand can be adjusted to suit
individual users.
8) Quality Assurance
Endurance testing in custom-built laboratories forms an
intrinsic part of quality assurance on all Miele vacuum cleaners. Before any
production process begins, all components are put through rigorous tests and
subjected to enormous strain; stress that exceeds typical residential household
use.
9) Miele Air Clean-Filter System
The Miele Air Clean-Filter system is made up of the
IntensiveClean PlusTM dustbag, the motor
filter and an air filter. Together this means:
- High efficiency
- Effective air cleaning.
10) Fully-Integrated Set of Accessories
To ensure that accessories don't go missing, the S5
features a neat, on-board storage compartment. A crevice nozzle for hard to
reach corners, an upholstery tool for all those crumbs on the couch and a
dusting brush for the cobwebs in the corners are always on hand, whenever you
need them.
11) Miele IntensiveClean PlusTM Dustbag
The layered special fabric of this dustbag has many advantages:
- Longer suction performance.
- 15% improved filtration.
- Impact foil preventing sharp-edged objects, such as pine needles, glass and
sand from penetrating the bag.
- Automatic dustbag closure for hygienic removal and
disposal.

the hand, making vacuuming much more enjoyable. This feature is standard on the Callisto,
Gemini, Aquarius
and Capricorn
models.
3) Easy-to-Use Controls on the Handle
You can't ask for anything more convenient than this! The S5980 Capricorn comes standard with controls on the handle to regulate
suction power. Simply press the +/- buttons on the handle to adjust the power
level.

5) Silence setting
All Miele vacuums are known for their quiet operation, but a
special sound insulation makes the S5
particularly quiet. The new silence setting combines the lowest noise output
with the ideal power level for optimum cleaning results.
6) Parquet Floor Brush SBB 300-3.
A mixture of polyamide and natural hair ensures a gentle
cushion for this floor brush which makes sure that tile, wood and other smooth
surfaces are cleaned thoroughly with extreme care. It has a 90° rotation and is

8) Durable Bumper Strip
The fully-integrated bumper strip made from soft plastic goes
all the way around the vacuum to protect both furniture and the vacuum in the
event of a collision.
9) Maneuverability: Three-Point Steering
The three smooth-running 360° castor wheels mounted on steel
axles ensure maximum stability and maneuverability for your vacuum cleaner. They
are cleverly designed with a travel ramp to help you maneuver your vacuum easily
over thresholds and around obstructions.
9) Convenient Park System
For short breaks, the wand and floor tool can simply be
inserted into the park system on the back of the canister. This allows you to
answer the door or the telephone without having to rest the wand assembly
against a wall or furniture where it could potentially fall causing damage or
laying it on the floor, which can be unsafe. On selected models, when the park
system is used it also switches off the vacuum motor, saving you time when you
are interrupted.
9) Double-sided Wand Holder
For safe storage and easy transportation, two indentations on
the outer casing allow the floor tool assembly to be hooked onto the canister
when it is upright—one on either side. So no matter whether you are right-handed
or left-handed, the S5
offers you an ideal solution. If you need to carry the vacuum cleaner up and
down stairs, you will have the other hand free to hold on to the railing or to
be multi-tasking.
10) Six-level Power Adjustment
The power setting on the S5
can be adjusted on six levels, depending on the type of flooring you're cleaning
or surface you're dusting. Easy-to-understand graphic symbols indicate which
setting is best suited for different kinds of surfaces, such as rugs and
carpets, drapes or hard floors. On select models, the power levels are back-lit,
making it easier to find the right setting.
