Miele Capricorn full-size canister with SEB236 Power nozzle, is recommended for all piles of carpeting and hard, smooth flooring; so all surface types. The 1200 watt Miele-made and trademark Vortex Motor System carries a seven-year motor warranty, and provides super suction power. As well as the regular integrated tools, there is the SBB 300-3 hard surface floor brush made especially for parquet and other high-quality wood flooring.
The exceptional, unique design of this canister vacuum cleaner and Deluxe Power nozzle allow amazing maneuverability and access to narrow awkward areas in bathrooms and kitchens, and around fancy-legged, impossible -to-move furniture. A sharp headlight allows visibility in those dark awkward corners and closets, while a quick release latch removes the power head from the wands without you having to bend down and break your back.
An auto shut off carpet favor will automatically turn off the brush when you stand up the machine, so you can stop and move your furniture without having to turn off and on the vacuum cleaner.
Product review:
The mostly positive reviews for this well-made machine came from the excellent suction power, with most consumers claiming their carpets were not only cleaner than ever but looked even newer, with the pile fluffed up like never before.
Also the quietness of the motor, even with the motorized power brush attached, was an often-mentioned feature. Another plus point is the on-board tools compartment on the top of the canister which opens at the touch of a button, saving time and energy, and the on-off switch in the handle is an extra convenience.
A soft touch on a foot pedal swiftly stores the cable for you, without backbreaking effort.
The overall quality of this German-made appliance is praised in capital letters by every satisfied user. Whether true or not, Miele claims on their website to have strict quality standards; manufacturing each appliance to a 20 year minimum product life: The overall consensus seems to be that they don’t fall far short of their claims, as several reviewers noted already owning this manufacturer’s products for more than 15 years without problem. The only possible drawback is the sturdy, well built machine may be a little heavy for some users: overall, definitely a well recommended vacuum cleaner.
