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.
I'll admit it. Before I started researching vacuums online, I had never heard of Miele or used any of their products. After using the S558i Red Velvet, however, I am happy to start singing the praises of the German company's wonderfully made canister vacuum. With finger tip controls for the six-levels of power and HEPA filtration to make vacuuming easier for allergy and asthma sufferers, this is a pleasure to use. The Red Velvet is an International award winner for design and excellence, and it isn't difficult to understand why.
I know what you're thinking. A canister vacuum? Step into the new millenium, man! Embrace the upright. Well, I hate to break it to you, folks, but the Miele S558i Red Velvet made me a believer in the power and functionality of a well-made canister vacuum. Easy to maneuver, the S558i has tremendous suction power for such a lightweight and diminutive machine. You'll find yourself zipping under and around furniture that would confound any of the uprights. Its 1200 watts of power mean that you'll have exactly the amount of suction you need just when you need it. The Red Velvet has a softer, textured finish, preventing the canister from dings and scratches.
The S558i features the Miele Sealed System? with HEPA filtration which retains particulates down to 0.3 micron. (I had to look up what that means, but trust me, it's a good thing.) Allergy sufferers will be pleased as will those tired of pushing around a massive upright. The Red Velvet maneuvers like a dream and cleans like a pro. It comes with the standard tools that usually accompany a Miele: an upholstery brush, a dusting brush and a crevice nozzle. It also comes with a Parquet hard surface floor brush to take care of your wood and tile floors.
Pros and Cons: On the pro side, the Miele S558i has all the power and panache you would expect from a . It has an automatic, auto-reverse Cordwinder that keeps the power cord from being a tripping hazard and a nice light to help you see past shadows as you vacuum. The suction motor has a 7-year warranty, which shows how much Miele believes in their engineering. The Sealed System keeps allergens at bay and the bags are super easy to change. As for cons, I'm hard pressed to think of any. I suppose if you are opposed to canister vacuums in general this might not be for you. Bags can be a hassle, but Miele has made the process of changing them as simple as possible.
The Miele S558i Red Velvet is like a classic car that has been refinished. It has a retro look and feel with the power of modern technology. I never dread having to vacuum because the Red Velvet makes the whole process easy ? and almost fun. Try the Miele S558i and know what it's like to have power and style right at your fingertips. You and your carpets will be glad you did.
