Vacuum cleaners have become an integral part in the cleaning of indoor spaces since the invention of the first hand-pumped vacuum cleaner in 1869 by Chicago inventor, Ives McGaffey. Today, the vacuum cleaner has evolved into a high-tech piece of cleaning equipment, boasting many other uses apart from merely cleaning the floor. However, it is important to remember that not all vacuum cleaners are created equal – as such, it is essential to know what features makes a vacuum cleaner great. Liam Gawne, Miele’s Product Manager, offers some tips on what consumers should look for when investing in a vacuum cleaner:

1. Suction power: Essentially, vacuum cleaners work through suction that is created by a built-in motor. The stronger the motor, the stronger the suction power it creates, and the more efficient the vacuum cleaner will be at sucking up all the dirt and dust. “When choosing a vacuum cleaner,” says Liam, “be sure to take note of its power levels. All Miele vacuum cleaners have very powerful motors, ranging from 1 600W to 2 200W depending on model, but this by itself does not guarantee top performance. What is important is that the power is used effectively throughout the system - from the floorhead and the hose, right through the filters and the dustbag, to give maximum suction. And to do this, all parts of the vacuum cleaner must work together to create an optimum flow of air.”

He says that a good way to test the suction power of a machine is to test it out: “At Miele, we like to do the following demonstration to show what powerful suction power our vacuum cleaners have: switch the machine on to carpet-mode, check to see if all the connections are connected correctly and that the air vents are closed, then switch the vacuum cleaner on and put it on maximum power. Now attach the floorhead to the wall – if it boasts superior suction power, it should stay there on its own.”

2. Manoeuvrability: Consumers often overlook manoeuvrability; however, good manoeuvrability is one of the most important features a good vacuum cleaner can have. “Having a vacuum cleaner that is easy to get around is essential – it needs to be easy to move to make light work of cleaning, and it needs to be able to get into difficult-to-reach and small areas. Look for wheels that have a 360-degree swivel – the undercarriage of Miele’s vacuum cleaners for example, has three high quality, smooth running castors, making the cleaner extremely stable and very easy to guide around obstacles and over thresholds. The cleaner can also sit upright, making it very convenient for use on stairs. Miele’s latest range of vacuum cleaners – the S8 range – boast DynamicDrive castors that rotate 360 degrees, have steel axles and feature shock absorbers – the rubberized wheels glide smoothly, are gentle on floors and are wear-proof

“A long, retractable power cable is also essential, as it enables the cleaning of large without having to change power outlets. Miele vacuum cleaners, for example, feature a very long retractable power lead, that combined with the suction tube, operate within a radius of up to 11m. Some models even feature an extra hose extension, offering you the luxury of extending your reach when needed,” explains Liam.

3. Simple operation and noise levels: Nobody wants to spend hours trying to figure out how to switch the vacuum cleaner on, says Liam: “Vacuum cleaners should above all, be simple to operate – offering easy functionality to even the most technologically-challenged individuals. Over and above this, its special features should be easily accessible so that it makes the job of vacuuming much easier, not more complicated.

“For example, Miele’s vacuum cleaners are highly flexible – if you adopt a bent posture while vacuum cleaning, it can put undue strain on your back. With a press of a button however, the telescopic suction tube from a Miele vacuum cleaner can adjust itself to the working height of each individual. They also boast an intelligent parking system – for quick breaks while vacuuming, simply hook the floorhead into the parking system on the back of the vacuum cleaner – the motor will then automatically switch to standby. Also, you will never need to bend down to pick up the suction tube, as it is stored in a handy operating position.”

He notes that quiet operation is also a very desirable feature, as many vacuum cleaners can be overbearingly noisy: “Miele’s range of vacuum cleaners boast a noise optimised motor, together with added integrated noise proofing, which results in a pleasantly silent vacuum cleaner. Particularly useful is the selectable ‘Silence’ setting, which combines the lowest possible noise levels with the best possible cleaning results.”

4. Compact and lightweight: Buying a compact cleaner often means making compromises such as accepting poorer quality, less efficient dust pick-up or inferior filtration. However, Liam says that most of us do not want to cut corners when it comes to the cleanliness of our homes or the quality of the air we breathe, but we still want a compact and lightweight vacuum cleaner that is easy to store: “True to the Company mission of ‘Immer besser – Forever better’, Miele’s range of vacuum cleaners represents the latest in ergonomics.

“Lightweight and compact, they are safe and simple to transport from your broom cupboard to wherever you may need them in the house. The S2 range for example, boasts a practical bracket on the underside, where you can attach the wand, including the hose, and carry the whole unit with one hand. Should you have to master a set of stairs, that free hand to hold on to a railing will give you more confidence and save you an extra trip.”

5. Aesthetically good-looking: Today’s appliances don’t just have to be functional, but they should boast good looks as well. Liam explains: “Miele vacuum cleaners are convincing through their clean and modern lines, and they boast a high level of visual detail. With a combination of fresh, contemporary and classic lines, as well as high-quality surface refinements, each Miele vacuum cleaner is an attractive appliance in its own right. This is why Miele vacuum cleaners have won several international design awards, such as the internationally coveted Red Dot Design Award. Boosting their individuality even more, they are also available in a variety of trendy colours and finishes, such as Mango Red or Koi Orange for example.”

6. Environmental sustainability: With environmental friendliness being a hot consumer trend at the moment, and with the ever increasing cost of electricity, it is very important to take into account how energy efficient a vacuum cleaner is, explains Liam: “In line with Miele’s cradle-to-grave approach to environmental sustainability; all its vacuum cleaners boast energy-optimised motors that set the benchmark in energy efficient vacuum cleaning. Another thing to look at is the overall carbon footprint of the vacuum cleaner – as with all of Miele’s appliances, its vacuum cleaners are designed, manufactured and tested to last for 1 000 operating hours. This often results in a lifespan of up to 20-years, meaning less landfill, which seriously reduces the overall carbon footprint of Miele’s range of vacuum cleaners.”

7. Longevity: It is very important to take into account how long your vacuum cleaner will last for – you may pay more for it initially, but if it is built to last, you will save money in the long run. Liam explains: “When it comes to quality, we at Miele are confident that nobody tests as diligently as we do. For any parts and components to be included in a Miele product, they have to meet very stringent quality requirements and prove that they will endure 20 years of average household use.

“For a vacuum cleaner this is defined as one hour per week or 50 hours per year. Our testing includes: dropping the floor head 1 800 times, which equates to approximately twice per week;extending the telescopic wand 10 000 times, which is equal to 10 times per week; dragging the barrel by the hose over
a threshold (such as a cable or rug) and banging it against a door frame 20 000 times, we believe that this would happen up to 20 times per week in a customer household; and kinking the hose 120 000 times with a 5kg weight, this equates to more than 100 times per week.”

8. The filtration system: Vacuum cleaning is more than just cleaning your floor, it is about overall hygiene. Naturally, this also includes air hygiene. What would be the point if all the dust from your floors was simply distributed into the air again and stayed airborne? Liam explains that over the past seven decades, Miele engineers and quality research groups have worked tirelessly to design a vacuum cleaner that provides you with perfect floorcare, without polluting your home’s indoor air quality: “In addition to developing highly efficient filters and new HyClean dustbags, our engineers have crafted an air tight dust chamber with rubber gaskets, to ensure that the air only passes through the final exhaust filter and is not leaked out. So, when using a Miele vacuum cleaner with a Miele Active HEPA filter, 99.5% of particles 0.3 microns (that is 1/200th of the width of a human hair) and larger are captured and retained in the vacuum.”

He says that Miele offers three different types of filters in their vacuum cleaners – they comprise:

Miele Super Air Clean filter: Made of multi-ply microfibre material which is electrostatically charged, the Super Air Clean filter removes nearly 94% of particles as small as 0.3μ and, thus is most suitable for everyday household use. Effectively, this means the discharge air is cleaner than the normal room air we breathe. Miele Super Air Clean filters are designed to last as long as four dustbags.

Miele Active Air Clean filter: This filter incorporates the benefits of the Super Air Clean filter and it is designed for customers who have to vacuum items up that could develop unpleasant odours over time in the dust bag, such as cold cigarette ash or pet hair. A tight-fitting filter cassette with a rubber seal prevents any air escaping, other than through the filter. The Activated Charcoal component absorbs and neutralises odours, making vacuum cleaning a much more pleasant experience. Due to its unique design it only needs to be replaced every 50 operating hours or 12 months.

Miele’s Active HEPA filter: A Miele Active HEPA filter solves the problems allergy sufferers face each time they vacuum – vacuumed dust travelling straight through the unit and then staying airborne for hours. The Active HEPA filter represents an amalgamation of the two previous filters with an additional layer of tight fitting filter material which captures and retains 99.5% of particles as tiny as 0.3μ (acc. to EN 1822, including dust, dust mite faeces and pollen) from the exhaust air. Because of the airtight design of the vacuum cleaner, not only the filter itself, but the whole vacuum cleaner achieves HEPA 12 certification. In addition, the layer of Activated Charcoal absorbs any unpleasant odours developing in the bag, making this filtration system among the most efficient and effective on the market. The Miele Active HEPA filter only needs to be replaced after 50 operating hours or approximately 12 months of use.

9. Upright or cylinder models: The two main types of vacuum cleaners comprise cylinder and upright models. Cylinder or canister models largely dominate the market. They have the motor and dust collector (using a bag or bagless) in a separate unit, usually mounted on wheels, which is connected to the vacuum head by a flexible hose. Says Liam: “Their main advantage is flexibility, as you can attach different heads for different tasks, and maneuverability as the head can reach under furniture and makes it very easy to vacuum stairs and vertical surfaces. Many cylinder models have power heads, as standard or add-on equipment, which contain the same sort of mechanical beaters as in upright units, making them as efficient on carpets as upright models.”

He says that upright vacuum cleaners on the other hand, take the form of a cleaning head, onto which a handle and bag are attached. Upright designs usually employ a rotating brushroll or beater bar, which removes dirt through a combination of sweeping and vibration. “If you opt for an upright vacuum cleaner, check to see if they boast the following features:
- From hard floor to carpet: Check for a footswitch tat is used to gently lift the front of the electrobrush, so you can easily move from a hard floor to a rug.
- Automatic height adjustment: The bristles under the electrobrush should be spring-loaded to effectively clean different depths of carpet pile.
- Swivel neck: A unique swivel neck joint allows for navigation around furniture, and for it to be rotated for easy cleaning around obstacles such as table legs.
- Ergonomic carry handle: Check for an extra ergonomic carrying handle at the back that will allow the user to easily lift the cleaner and carry it upstairs.
- Large dustbags: Large dustbags facilitate the cleaning of large areas.”

10. Accessories: Most modern vacuum cleaners have a broad range of vacuum cleaning accessories that are specifically tailored to suit specific needs. Liam explains: “Miele for example, offers different accessory sets designed for specific tasks, such as CarCare set designed for car-cleaning purposes, Cat&Dog set designed for the special needs of pet owners, and the Homecare set that makes light work of tasks around the home, such as cleaning upholstery and so on. All these sets come grouped together in purpose-built sets for practical and tidy storage.”
