Review Of Miele Canister Vacuum
The Miele S314 Bagged Canister Vacuum gets top marks for cleaning up dog and cat hair. The S314 line are rated at 1100 watts, have an airflow of 131 CFM and 100" of water lift. The S314 is also equipped so that the standard filter (standard for Miele; it's described as a 'super air clean filter) can be replaced with a HEPA filter (a high-efficiency particulate air filter with charcoal, to remove 99.97% of particles and microorganisms larger than .3 microns) for about fifty dollars. The vacuum has a rotating electric power brush, which cleans edge to edge and works exactly like an upright vacuum cleaner's beater brush by pounding dirt out from between carpet fibers, a much stronger effect that that of the Miele S314 White Star's turbo brush. The S314 is equipped with an automatic cord rewinder, a 360-degree swiveling hose, a dust bag capacity indicator, and another indicator for motor heat, rubber wheels, and a parking system. Integrated tools include an upholstery tool, crevice nozzle and dusting brush; the smooth floor brush must be stored separately form the canister. A speed control selector that slides back and forth for different power settings also distinguishes the S314, ranging from 250 to 1100 watts. A clean air filter ensures that the dust that enters the vacuum cleaner will not exit. The vacuum cleaner bag was designed to be double plied and self-sealing, so that when you replace it no dust will escape into the room. The S314 is available in three colors-the blue, with a combination rug/floor tool for bare floors and carpets; the white, with a smooth floor brush and an air-driven turbo brush for rugs kelims; and the red, with a smooth floor brush, electric hose and power brush for pile carpets.
