Miele Presents The "Earth" Vacuum Cleaner

Miele, the world’s largest family-owned appliance company offers an eco-friendly canister vacuum cleaner just in time for Earth Day, and it’s appropriately named ‘Earth’. This canister vacuum boasts some of the most energy-saving advancements the industry has to offer. Featuring an AutoEco™ setting that automatically detects flooring (carpet, smooth floors, drapes, furniture) the Earth vacuum adjusts power for optimal cleaning performance and energy efficiency. “Homeowners tend to think that the highest power setting is best for all cleaning,” says Nadine Gast, Senior Product Manager for Miele. “This is absolutely a myth. The high setting should be used only on smooth floors. Drapes and carpets require specific settings for optimal cleaning and using AutoEco™ will not only save tremendously in energy consumption, but also will provide better performance and long term care for home furnishings,” adds Gast.

Miele Earth’s green features also include a self-imposed 20 year life design and the use of virgin polymers that are marked for easy recycling, cadmium and lead-free coatings, water-based paints plus low energy consumption. Miele vacuums are proven cleaner for indoor air as all fine dust and allergens are trapped in its unique Sealed System™ featuring a certified HEPA filter and unique filtering dustbag. (See miele.com for details on our latest filtration studies.) Miele’s revolutionary HyClean™ dustbags consist of multi-ply, random-spun filter material and protective netting to reinforce the outer layer in order to ensure that dust and debris safely stays in the bag. Inside a HyClean™ dustbag, air guides distribute dust evenly throughout the bag, achieving a 25% longer life cycle without any loss in performance. A downstream HEPA filter then captures even the tiniest of particles – retaining lung damaging particles inside the vacuum.

Miele is internationally recognized as a leader in engineering appliances that are environmentally friendly. “We are committed to protecting this planet and take our role in energy consumption very seriously,” says Gast. “All of our appliances meet or even far exceed strict environmental requirements and the Earth vacuum is no exception.”
