Miele Introduces S8 Vacuum Cleaner

Miele, a global expert in floor care, is revolutionizing the way we clean with the introduction of the new Miele S8 Series. Designed, engineered and built in Germany the S8 is lighter, quieter and offers improved cleaning performance. By combining the performance of the Miele patented AirClean Filter-Bag™ plus Sealed System® and HEPA filter, 99.9% of lung damaging particles are retained in the machine. S8 embodies the Miele TrueClean™ philosophy – offering the perfect balance of performance and convenience.

“Our elite team of Miele floorcare experts were given absolute freedom to develop the most dynamic, innovative and unique vacuum system,” said Inga Wirth, Floorcare Product Manager, Miele. “With S8, there are no compromises in materials, functionality or design.”

This group of Miele Construction and Technology Engineers, Industrial and Product Designers and Quality Assurance Specialists spent nearly five years extensively observing and researching the cleaning challenges of its customers. It determined the problem with contemporary machines was that too many sacrifices like size in favor of efficiency, shape in favor of reach, power in favor of noise, were made in order to improve convenience or performance of vacuums. The solution was to build a no compromise machine – the Miele S8.

“The S8 was born from the most effective vacuum filtration systems on the market today –The combination of the Miele patented AirClean FilterBag™ plus Sealed System®, S8 was designed to improve indoor air quality and safeguard the air we breathe,” said Skyler Stevenson, Public Relations Manager for Miele. “Manufacturing vacuum cleaners since 1927, the S8 embodies 85 years of Miele technical expertise and know-how. In the true spirit of Immer Besser, we have elevated our system to achieve unparalleled cleaning performance and convenience with stability, balance, beauty and well-being.”
