Description

The Miele S8 Series A perfect synergy of design and functionality, Miele’s S8 series sets new standards in floor care. These full-size canisters combine maximum features and efficiency with outstanding cleaning results. Superior engineering is balanced with carefully-selected, fine quality materials such as a durable stainless steel wand and specialized ABS plastic with a hard, impact-resistant surface. The S8 series features innovative skeleton construction, making it 2 lbs. less than the S5 series. Other conveniences include a 36-foot operating radius and foot pedal controls for quick and effective cleaning. S8 also features a silence motor to maintain a quiet environment, and an AirClean Sealed System that not only vacuums your floors – but also cleans the air your family breathes. S 8990 UniQ Miele’s S8 UniQ vacuum cleaner features an Electro Premium electrobrush ideal for cleaning medium to high-pile carpeting. The Electro Premium electrobrush is an electrically-driven carpet tool with wide brush roll and LED light for added comfort. With five adjustable height levels, the Electro Premium adapts to any pile carpeting and pressing the convenient reset button returns the electrobrush to its initial position. UniQ offers a savvy, self-adjusting automatic setting. As you transition from hardwoods to carpeting, it automatically decreases suction, then increases suction when you return to smooth, solid flooring – saving you both time and energy. The UniQ also includes the Parquet Twister – providing 180° rotation for the agile, yet gentle care of smooth surfaces. A telescopic, electric, stainless steel wand and long electrical cord, with one-touch automatic rewind, provide a total cleaning radius of 36 feet. The S8 UniQ is also equipped with a Deluxe Comfort Grip handle with six-stage suction controls, plus an Automatic setting, and electrobrush controls. Innovative LED underbody lights and an illuminated parking system make for a truly luxurious cleaning experience. Other conveniences include three integrated accessories — a dusting brush, upholstery tool and crevice nozzle conveniently held onboard in a velvet console — and a velvet 3D bumper. Deluxe Comfort Grip Handle with Six-Stage Suction Controls, plus Automatic Setting, and Electrobrush Controls Comfortable, ergonomic handle grip features an six-stage suction, plus an Automatic setting that intuitively increases and decreases suction based on the type of flooring being cleaned.AirClean Sealed System with Auto-Seal Closing FilterBag UniQ’s AirClean Sealed System features a HEPA filter which captures and retains over 99.9% of lung-damaging particles. This, plus Miele’s unique AirClean FilterBag, ensure that particles are never released back into the air.Three Integrated Accessories Housed in a velvet-lined compartment, UniQ features three integrated accessories including a dusting brush, upholstery tool and crevice nozzle.3D Velvet Bumper Strip The 3D velvet bumper strip is an extra cushion that helps to protect your fine furnishings. Underbody Lights and Illuminated Parking System Remains lit for 30 seconds after turning off the UniQ, to assist with easy storage in closets or other dark areas.One-Touch Cable Rewind The gentle, complete one-touch cable rewind feature fully retracts the cord, with no need to stand on the switch.Electro Premium Electrobrush This electrically-driven carpet tool with wide brush roll, five adjustable height levels with reset button and LED light is ideal for medium to high-pile carpeting.Parquet Twister The Parquet Twister rotates 180° — offering exceptionally agile cleaning for all smooth flooring.

  • Fancy features but lacks performance when the going gets tough
Pros: Quiet: It is amazingly quiet. The motor produces lots of suction and the filtration system is awesome. Quality of handle is excellent. Important considerations: Price @ $1500 I expected unmatched performance, reliability and a company that provides excellent support. Cons: The powerhead made noise out of the box. After about 5 uses, it was clearly defective. I called the company, which has no support on the weekend or after normal business hours, and spoke to Jim in New Jersey. His first task was to lecture me for purchasing on Amazon. He was unfamiliar with the powerhead on the model. (First, he said I didn't have the proper head and when I informed him that only one head comes with it his response was "oh yeah... You got the big boy" I asked for a head replacement and exchange he refused then he lamented over the price saying "that's a $300 head" My response was "exactly" I then informed Jim of the extended warranty and all I wanted was to have the head replaced. He then accused Amazon of attempting to sell warranties (What... Amazon's selling warranties now?) until I made him read his own literature. His solution: I was directed to a local dealer to get a repair on a brand new vacuum. Let me repeat, I was sent to a dealer to have an out-of-the-box defective part repaired not replaced. I went to the local dealer. When I got there I was told that I should try another brand of vacuum. He suggested a Riccar. I gave up on Miele. (Total waste of time was about 4.5 hours) Thanks to Amazon I returned the Miele and got a wonderful Sebo. Summary:This vacuum can be awesome if the head doesn't fail, or if it's no big deal to have a pretty short cord. It's quite and powerful. The filtration is awesome. The company representative I spoke with sounded like a sleazy salesman with a bad script. He didn't know his product and he attempted to be a "know it all"... How utterly disappointing I was in this company for employing such a tool. This, along with the quick failure, price, proprietary short hose and short cord is the reason for the low rating. I hope the company addresses these issues because it's such a nice vacuum. ... show more

  • Think about it
Been very pleased overall with the Uniq, and to no surprise. As someone mentioned, you can inadvertently turn the power off from the handle piece, though this is fairly infrequent and quite inconsequential. Performs an EXCELLENT job on carpets of all types, as well as hardwoods/tile. I am not one to justify/rationalize the large expense merely by stating how great things are, but actually, things are indeed pretty great with this unit with only minor exceptions, like the aforementioned power button issue, and to some unfortunate degree, there is potential to really ruin the brush attachment compartment lid if you fail to shut it during normal operation. For an example: I have lifted the lid, taken out a brush attachment, and left the lid open. On 2 occasions, I came close to utterly dislodging the lid while either stepping over the unit and nearly kicking the lid, or even just while in transit with it still open. Not really an issue but just remember: CLOSE THE LID! That being said...consider... I am not of German heritage, but have seen and experienced the superior make quality of nearly all that the country produces. By most other standards (i.e., US and esp. China), the vast majority of German goods/products are extraordinary. I feel most consumer goods originating from Germany are actually over-engineered, but yet must be thoroughly made with pride. Perhaps I am too conditioned to the mediocre standards of most others, but the German made products vasty outshine mostly all others. Value? If I were to apply my rating to the overall shopping experience, I would place 4/5 stars, as due in small part to the high price tag, but the rating represents the actual product. I believe in Miele and all that they create (I own their dishwasher and washer/dryer units) and have been brand loyal for 12 years now. My wife and I are middle-income, and we also have two small children and an indoor cat. Miele products are a large, up-front expense, though I strongly feel the investment will pay off over time. Yes, initially, the cost can be hard to reconcile when looking at the price tag, but please consider it to be money very well spent; just observe and marvel at the 10yr warranty of the UniQ. 10 years instills a sense that even the company knows the vacuum is a damn great one. Is there nothing worse than throwing good money after bad or making multiple purchases/repairs on products that really stink? -- you may or may not be familiar with the stench of chintzy, corporate sell-out products. It seems like the culture has been to design something to last only so long, so that it quickly breaks or malfunctions so as to guarantee repeat sales, while at the same time, condition the consumer to feel familiar and tolerant enough with the pattern and expect it and accept it as a norm within society... An while yes, budget is a concern in my family, I feel it more worthwhile to own something that is going to work as desired (incredibly well in this case) and not have the worry about its longevity. Indeed 5/5 stars thus far, as my experience with this vacuum has demonstrated some of the ideals I've tried to illustrate. To me, this sustained sense of quality during usage over time equates to an overall better quality of living in general -- this unit runs clean and I can't detect any odors or particulate as I vacuum. Intelligent thought, research, design, and ideals are evident in this product. Between my wife and I, the unit is in use almost daily, and it is somehow soothing to clean with it. Anyway, yeah the unit could probably stand to be a few hundred dollars less, but it is the latest and greatest, but more importantly, it collectively has all the features that one could want and need for a household. Bottom line: just dive in to a Miele, you won't have any regrets. ... show more

  • disappointed
This will be my second Miele vacuum. My first was the blue moon and I was VERY happy with that vacuum for more than 10 years until the electronic hose kept having to be replaced several times per year and I decided it was time for a new one. I opted for the UniQ canister vac and just haven't been as happy. While I still love the fact that the vacuum is quiet and that the power hose is built in to the extension pole, I find that the hose is waaay too short and the most frustrating feature (which I'm shocked that I have not read anyone else complain about in these reviews) is that the power and cord rewind buttons are so sensitive, that the hose hits them (frequently) and either turns the machine off or shockingly rewinds the cord with so much power that it rips out of the wall and strikes anything in it's path. Dangerous to an eye and quite painful when you are that thing in it's path and you don't see it coming. In addition, the canister tends to flip over often which also activates one of those buttons or both. Nothing more frustrating than to have your vacuuming continually interrupted and having to constantly restart the machine or plug it back in. My husband, my cleaning lady and myself all have the same complaints with the vac, so I know it isn't just something that I'm doing. Unfortunately, my friend is looking to replace her 13 year old Blue Moon and I recommended that she purchase a new brand as I could no longer recommend this product for these serious design flaws. ... show more
