A Cleaning Tradition Power, convenience and filtration have been the trademarks of Miele vacuum cleaners since 1927. Miele continues this legacy with the exciting new S-171 Powerhouse upright vacuum cleaner. A compact machine designed to clean your home and filter the air you breathe. The 800 Watt bypass motor system creates exceptional airflow and lets you clean without fear of damaging the motor. The S 171's internal ribs help prevent airflow loss and increase the longevity of the bags by circulating air around the entire bag, not just the rear.
Soft body uprights simply fill from one spot and lose airflow quickly, hampering performance.
Quality Made from the same material used in football helmets, our lightweight ABS casing is very strong and exceptionally durable. Other materials could be used, but at Miele, quality comes first. Another example of the details that make a vacuum cleaner a Miele. The completely sealed system is designed to help improve suction and filtration. By having tight joints and rubber seals, Miele vacuum cleaners keep the dirt and dust where it should be - in the machine.
