Welcome to Miele

Forever better

"Immer besser". Since 1899, Miele has remained true to its own
corporate philosophy of "Immer besser" or "Forever better". These two
words lay the cornerstones of Miele's high quality standards and place
Miele amongst the strongest German brands worldwide in the domestic
appliance industry.

Countless innovations emanate from the Miele development division.
Every day our engineers strive to improve our products and to find new
solutions to meet consumers' needs. Quite simply to add convenience
to the lives of customers.

Miele manufactures appliances to the highest specifications. Great
attention is paid not only to inner values such as excellent functionality
and reliability, but to external values, too, e.g. the design.

Miele's company philosophy of being 'Forever better' is not simply a
catchy phrase, but rather a promise to deliver quality products and, in
turn, a promise to its customers.. Ultimately, Miele wishes to give its
customers the peace of mind of having made the right choice in buying
a Miele appliance.

Dr. Markus Miele and Dr. Reinhard Zinkann

Ecological responsibility – the basis for
Miele's corporate philosophy

The responsibility for our environment has
tradition at Miele – for more than 110 years.
The natural environment is the foundation
of our existence which we want to protect.
For us and generations to come to have a
good future. True to our motto "Forever
better", we develop domestic appliances
for customers which reduce the burden on
the environment and natural resources.
This begins with the selection of materials,
ensuring efficient production and ends –
after a long machine life – in
environmentally friendly recycling.

Miele's environmental standards pay their
way in the long run: Miele's highly efficient
domestic and built-in appliances ensure
excellent performance and set standards in
terms of low electricity consumption
values, too.

Miele Vacuum Cleaners

Test wins

Miele vacuum cleaners.
More than 50 test wins* worldwide.

Miele appliances furnish proof of their high
quality not only in strict internal quality
tests; the quality and dependability of Miele
machines is also praised time and time
again in independent product tests. Since
2003 alone, Miele vacuum cleaners
emerged as test winners more than 50
times in comparison tests throughout the
world*.

*A detailed overview of Miele te st wins in floor care can be
found at http://www.miele-presse.de

The efficient way to save energy

Particularly successful in international
tests: the Miele EcoLine cylinder vacuum
cleaner. With these innovative appliances,
Miele proves that high wattages do not
necessarily equate to good cleaning
performance. Miele's EcoLine models
combine top cleaning performance with
high energy efficiency - saving both energy
and money in the long term.

6

Every flag represents a test win – in Europe
alone there have been more than 45 Miele
vacuum cleaner test wins since 2003. This
is augmented with successes outside
Europe's borders, for example in Australia,
New Zealand, Hong Kong and Canada.

Miele quality convinces experts and users
throughout the world.

What makes Miele vacuum cleaners so unique?

Miele vacuum cleaners offer an optimum combination of excellent cleaning performance,
unique convenience, outstanding hygiene standards and first class quality.

Quality:
100% controlled!

Quality is Miele's highest priority,
from design to finished product. Miele
vacuum cleaners are exclusively designed
and manufactured in Miele's own plants. At
the end of the manufacturing process and
assembly, every vacuum cleaner is
thoroughly tested again to ensure perfect
functioning. This thoroughness is one of
the ways in which we at Miele achieve
excellent quality and highly durable
products.

Hygiene:
the AirClean filter system

The outstanding filtration of Miele vacuum
cleaners is the result of a filtration system
consisting of up to 12 layers. It consists of
the innovative Miele AirClean dustbag, a
motor protection filter and a Miele exhaust
filter. The way these components
complement each other ensures that more
than 99.9% of fine dust is filtered out. You
can take deep breaths again!

8

User convenience:
vacuuming made easy? Yes – with
Miele.

Miele has developed a multitude of
features to make floor care as easy as
possible for you. For example the
convenient handle controls, with which you
can regulate suction power with the touch
of a fingertip. No more tiresome bending.

Cleaning performance:
achieving best results with efficiency.

A high performance motor alone does not
make a good vacuum cleaner. Miele
vacuum cleaners combine a whole bundle
of features efficiently with outstanding
results. A dust-tight casing and streamline
airflow through all components are
essential in ensuring that the power of the
motor is converted into suction
performance at the floorhead.

Tested to last 20 years*

No normal daily use is as stringent as a Miele product test: before Miele vacuum cleaners
go into series production, they must undergo rigorous stress and endurance testing in our
laboratories:

The motor endurance test:
very endurable!

We expect top-notch cradle-to-grave
performance from our vacuum cleaners: in
an intensive endurance test, with the
appliances being constantly switched on
and off, Miele motors must prove that they
are made to last.

The hose test:
very resilient!

Miele suction hoses are twisted, bent and
stretched with a 5 kg weight 120,000 times
in the laboratory, so you can pull your Miele
vacuum cleaner along behind you without
any risk of damage.

The jamb/threshold test:
very robust!

In real life, Miele vacuum cleaners are
subjected to many knocks and obstacles
that they have to move over during
vacuuming – in this test, they have to
endure this strain 16,500 times without
interruption. Miele casings and rollers
prove their durability.

The floorhead test:
very hard-wearing!

A Miele floorhead must master 2000 km of
various types of floor coverings – that is as
far as Toronto to Winnipeg. They also cross
a carpeted door threshold 60,000 times.

The cable rewind test:
very reliable!

The cable reels are unwound and rewound
more than 10,000 times in our test centres.
Only then are we satisfied and completely
certain of problem-free functioning in your
home.

The handle test: indestructible!

Miele vacuum cleaner handles are hung
with 5 kg weights and lifted and lowered
120,000 times. The handle must survive
leverage forces completely damage-free.

*Equate s to an averag e weekly use of 45 minutes per wee k

Hygiene

12

Tangible cleanliness

The right dustbag? Simple!

It is often not easy to find the right dustbag
for a vacuum cleaner, but with Miele, you
can easily identify the correct genuine
AirClean filterbag by the colour of the
dustbag collar.

Last 25% longer

The special-purpose random-spun fibre
retains large amounts of fine dust. Air
guides distribute dust evenly throughout
the dustbag. This is why AirClean
Dustbags can be used approx. 25% longer
than conventional random-spun dustbags.

Top-class suction power

Thanks to the nine finely graduated filter
layers, the Miele AirClean bag remains
air-permeable, even as it fills. This ensures
undiminished suction power for longer. The
appliance display indicates when the
dustbag and filter need to be changed, for
constant performance and hygiene just like
on the first day.

Hygienic dust disposal

Miele ensures that you don’t need to come
into contact with vacuumed dust. As soon
as you open the vacuum cleaner, the
AirClean bag closes automatically. The
protective netting prevents the bag from
bursting, even if you have vacuumed up
sharp items .
