What makes Miele Unique- Main Differences: Miele vacuums have many high end features that many other vacuums don’t have, including Dyson. Multiple Suction Power Settings: This allows you to vacuum delicate areas with reduced suction. Quieter Vacuums: Miele vacuums are relatively quiet compared to other vacuums, and can be quieter when you turn down the power.

Miele uses stainless steel instead of cheaper materials like plastic or aluminum for its wands. Miele also uses rubber wheels, which will not mar or scratch hardwood floors. Many of the canisters come with a Parquet hardwood floor brush. Miele uses a sealed system and hygienically sealed multi-layer bags, so no dust goes in the air when vacuuming or when emptying the bag into the trash. Great for those with allergies. Miele tests its vacuums to last 20 years. Miele will far outlast cheaper vacuums.
