Miele Capricorn Vacuum Cleaner Introduction Miele - Made in Germany Miele has been designing and manufacturing products for the home since 1899. They produced their first vacuum cleaner in 1927 and celebrated their 100th Anniversary in June of 1999. Their products are world renowned for their power, durability and performance. The introduction of the Miele Capricorn vacuum, with its beautiful Luna Silver finish, reflects their commitment to designing and manufacturing outstanding vacuum cleaners. As with all Miele products, all its advanced technology and incredible power is harnessed within a truly beautiful work of art. You may even be tempted to purchase a Miele S5980 Capricorn vacuum cleaner on its looks alone. While continuing the strong Miele tradition of quality, design, beauty and outstanding performance, this Miele Capricorn, with its very convenient direct connect electric hose with deluxe handle having fingertip on/off and speed controls, direct connect electric wand, direct connect SEB 217-3 powerbrush and new Parquet floor brush, takes Miele's beauty and technology to an even higher level. Multi-Layer Filtration System The Miele Capricorn vacuum cleaner uses a multi-layer filtration system which increases the life of the high filtration exhaust filter. The air passes through their high filtration 3-Layer HyClean Bag and a secondary electrostatic filter before reaching the special exhaust filter. Each layer of filtration captures more particles as the air passes through them. Ideally, multi-layer filtration enhances performance by ensuring good air flow through the system. It prevents large particles from reaching and blocking the exhaust filter, saving it for critical particle retention. The Miele Capricorn vacuums come equipped with their Active Certified S-Class HEPA exhaust filter for exceptional allergen filtration. It is also equipped with an indicator to show that it's time to change this filter after 50 hours of use to maintain its outstanding performance. A lower cost alternative is the Super Air Clean exhaust filter which is packaged with the dustbags. It is designed for those desiring outstanding filtration but who do not have dust related sensitivities which require the level of filtration which meets the stringent HEPA specification. In a study conducted by the Department of Medicine, Division of Allergy and Clinical Immunology at the University of Virginia, the Miele vacuum cleaner with the Super Air Clean filter was tested, along with eight other leading brands, to determine if vacuum cleaner efficiency affects the level of airborne allergens commonly found in the home, such as pet dander and dust mite feces. The results indicate that some vacuum cleaners substantially increase allergens in the air. The study proved Miele captures virtually all the dust, dirt and allergens you pick up, improving the quality of the air you breathe. The Certified HEPA filter which comes with the Miele vacuum provides even greater filtration, producing net filtration which exceeds the stringent HEPA specification.
