Are Miele vacuum cleaner hoses really better than other types of

By Kristina Brown

A canister vacuum cleaner can create a great deal of suction, but in order to make that suction useful the canister requires a hose. Every canister vacuum cleaner has a hose, however some perform and last better than others. In this article I will explain the benefits of having a Miele Hose as opposed to a hose from another brand.

In order to create a superior long-lasting product Miele not only manufactures a great product but tests it as well. Miele truly tests their products and they have robots to prove it! Miele actually created robots to test every aspect of their vacuum design including the hose. If a part of the product does not pass Miele's high standard tests than it will not be given the Miele name. Only superior products that can withstand years of abuse are named Miele products.

Throughout the life of your vacuum cleaner there will probably be a time when you or one of your family members accidently walks on your vacuum hose. Although this does not seem like a big deal, it is. Most hoses on the market today are reinforced with wire that will warped if walked on and will never return back to its original form. However, Miele created their hose with a material that will not distort if walked on. Getting a Miele hose will prevent you from consistently spending $70 on a new hose, thanks to its ingenious crush-proof design.

Another common problem seen in vacuum cleaners today is a weak hose connection. The weak hose connection tends to break, costing the user money for a repair and a new part. Thankfully Miele tested their hose connection by hanging the vacuum from the hose with 5 Kg extra at the end of the vacuum. Miele performed this test to make sure that their hose connections will outlast the average hose connection.

When using a vacuum cleaner it is important that the hose sits right and feels good in your hand. That is exactly why Miele constructed an ergonomic hose handle. The handle feels strong, sturdy and nice in your hand. Miele also made sure that they lined the back of the hose handle with rubber to help prevent the hose from slipping from your hands.

Does the hose handle have any controls built-in? The Miele hose handle has a convenient powerhead on/off switch. This switch allows you to turn the powerhead off so you can go right on the bare floors after vacuuming your rugs/carpeting or vice-versa.

Can I control the suction from the handle? If you purchase the Miele Capricorn you can adjust the suction of the machine up or down right from the handle via the +/- buttons. You can adjust your suction to go from the lowest power setting to the highest power setting with ease. The power settings are as follows from lowest to highest: Drapes, Upholstery, Throw Rugs, Miele's Quiet Setting, Large Area Rugs and Wall to Wall Carpet or Bare Floors. The Miele Capricorn also allows you to turn the machine on and off from the handle.

When Miele manufactures a product they are aware that every detail matters. This is why Miele makes sure that their hose does not only works well, but feels good and lasts long. Be sure to take a look at the Miele when you are ready to purchase your next vacuum cleaner; you will be amazed. - 14915
