Why Every Part of the Vacuum Cleaner Has to Be at It's Best

A canister best 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 cleaners 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.

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 accidentally 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.

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.

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.

When looking for a vacuum cleaner it is important that every aspect provides ease of use. That is why Miele puts an on/off switch on the handle, so all you need to do is flip a switch to turn the powerhead on and off. This switch allows an easy transition from hard surfaces to carpeting.

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.

Miele makes sure every part of their vacuum cleaners exceed expectations and the Miele Hose is no exception. The Miele Hose has many features including an ergonomic handle, a crush-proof hose and solid connections, all of which help ensure ease of use and customer satisfaction. Hopefully this article will help you in your future purchase of a vacuum cleaner.
