When purchasing a vacuum cleaner it is important to look at all aspects of the vacuum including the hose. The hose is a crucial part to canister vacuum cleaners and Miele is one of the only manufacturers that strives in making one of the best vacuum cleaner hoses on the market today.

How can a hose from Miele be better than any other hose? Miele tests and retests all components of their vacuum cleaners and the hose is no exception. A hose needs to be tough, durable and feel comfortable when in use and Miele made sure all of such elements are included in their hose. If a component of a vacuum does not pass Miele's high testing standards, it is re-examined and rethought out. The Miele hose, however, has passed all tests and has therefore been bestowed the Miele name.

I accidently stepped on my vacuum's hose and now it is crushed in. Does the Miele Hose crush? Many vacuum cleaners today use a wire-reinforced hose that will crush and warp if stepped on. You cannot fix a crushed wire-reinforced hose; so many vacuum owners are forced to purchase a new hose. A Miele Hose, however, has a crush-proof hose that retains its original shape even after being stepped on. Regardless of whether you sit, stand or step-on your hose it will go back to its original shape.

That's Cool! But does the Miele Hose break easily at the connection between the hose and the machine? No. Miele has vigorously tested the connection on their S5 series. They added an extra 10 pounds to the end of the vacuum and held the machine up from the hose for hours on end. The Miele S5 series passed this test with ease, ensuring that your hose connection will last you a very long time.

Whether it be a car, keyboard or vacuum, you want that product to feel comfortable when using it. Now one wants to put their body in an awkward uncomfortable position to accommodate their purchase. Miele is aware that the hose handle is a very important piece to the hose because that is where the user handles the machine a majority of the time. For this reason, Miele created a handle that is ergonomic and easy to handle. The handle also has a static electricity discharge bar integrated into the handle to prevent a build up of static electricity when moving the powerhead back and forth.

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.
