The Miele S8 UniQ Vacuum
Designed to embody the ultimate in refinement, the new Miele UniQ Canister Vacuum is the flagship of the S8 line. The UniQ seamlessly merges style and sophistication with iconic Miele performance and innovation. As only Miele can, the S8 UniQ combines exquisite design, groundbreaking innovation and a legacy of leadership in performance to provide the ultimate in cleaning. Deemed the ‘Pinnacle of Performance and Convenience’, the UniQ sets the standard for premium vacuum cleaners.
“It’s the details that truly set the UniQ apart,” said Inga Wirth, Product Manager for Miele. “Much of the inspiration for its design is derived from luxury German automobiles, including its shape and metallic finish to the LED lighting. We wanted to demonstrate a level of sophistication and ease of use that has never been seen before in the floorcare industry.”

A velvet clad interior of the accessory compartment is both luxurious and functional and provides a lush place for the machine’s integrated accessories.
For discerning customers, the UniQ is as chic and stylish as it is powerful. Like complementary models in the S8 line, the UniQ is built with the most effective vacuum filtration system on the market today.
