S5981 specifications

The Miele S5981 is a premium canister vacuum cleaner designed to deliver exceptional cleaning performance while maintaining user convenience and comfort. Known for its robust construction and innovative technologies, the S5981 is ideal for a variety of home cleaning tasks.

One of its standout features is the powerful Miele Vortex motor, which generates a strong suction that effectively lifts dust and debris from carpets and hard floors. This motor is engineered for exceptional efficiency, ensuring that the vacuum operates quietly without compromising on performance. The S5981 is equipped with a six-stage suction control, allowing users to adjust the power according to the surface being cleaned, whether it's delicate upholstery or sturdy carpets.

The vacuum includes a comprehensive set of attachments that cater to various cleaning needs. The electrobrush is specifically designed for deep-cleaning carpets, while the parquet brush is ideal for sealed hard floors, ensuring optimal care. A combination floor head allows seamless transitions between different floor types, enhancing versatility.

Another notable feature is the Miele AirClean filtration system that captures 99.9% of fine dust particles. This is particularly beneficial for allergy sufferers, as it helps to maintain indoor air quality by preventing allergens from being released back into the atmosphere. The vacuum comes with a sealed system, meaning that dust and dirt remain contained within, providing users with both efficiency and peace of mind.

Miele’s emphasis on ergonomics is evident in the S5981's design. The vacuum is lightweight and features a comfortable handle, making it easy to maneuver around furniture and tight spaces. The integrated carrying handle further enhances mobility, allowing users to transport the vacuum with ease. Additionally, the 33-foot operating radius minimizes the need to switch power outlets during cleaning tasks.

Durability is a hallmark of Miele appliances, and the S5981 is no exception. Each unit is tested for a lifespan of 20 years, underscoring the brand’s commitment to quality. With its classic design and vibrant color options, the Miele S5981 not only functions superbly but also looks good in any home setting.
