The Miele S168 Universal Upright Stick Vacuum Cleaner is the ideal lightweight vacuum cleaner for allergy sufferers. The active HEPA filter traps tiny, lung damaging particles like dust mite feces and pollen and makes sure they stay inside the filter. This filter also uses the Generally Activated Charcoal filter (GAC) to absorb odors. The HEPA filter captures 99.99% of all particles as tiny as 0.3 microns. These filters last for an incredible 50 hours of use. You can write the date on the filter in a specified place so you know exactly when it needs to be replaced.
The IntensiveClean Dustbag that the Miele S168 uses retain excellent suction even when it is full. It does this by retaining the dust particles within its intricate web of 3-ply random-spun fibers which keeps the pores on the surface of the dustbag open longer. It also prevents damages caused by sharp objects in the bag or through misuse during placement because it is tear proof.
The Miele S168 also comes with an incredibly gentle yet thorough combination rug / smooth floor tool, a telescopic wand, upholstery tool and crevice tool. For relief from allergy and a thoroughly clean home, try the Miele S168 Universal Upright Stick Vacuum Cleaner.

About time!,
This is the stick vacuum I’ve been waiting for for a very long time though a history of many vacuums! It is built with quality with excellent design, workability, power, and flexibility. It is lightweight and easy to use (easier than a broom), and it has several varied accessory brushes you can purchase, including electrified power brushes. It comes with a HEPA filter. It could use a longer cord, but an extension cord works just fine. Thank you, Miele!

|Just what I needed,
This vacuum is exactly what I needed for our 1000 sq ft condo with hardwood floors. If I plug it in in the dining room, I can reach just about every nook and cranny in our home. With our old vac, I had to plug in at least three different places to reach the same floor area; obviously, the job gets done much faster if I don’t have to run around unplugging and re-plugging.
Of course, a cord length means nothing if the vacuum doesn’t work well, but I have found that this does a very good job of picking up all the floor nasties, including pet hair from two dogs. Also, the vacuum is much, much quieter than the two previous vacuums I’ve owned. For example, my husband and I can have a conversation WHILE I am running the vac! This was impossible with our old vacuum–in fact, he’d leave the house b/c he complained of the noise.
The unit is very easy to use and seems to be smartly designed. The head swivels/turns easily. There are multiple attachments included and for additional purchase (I might splurge on the attachment made especially for hardwood floors, though the standard attachment seems to work fine so far). And while the cord isn’t retractable, it is easily wound up for easy storage. Admittedly, the unit does weigh more than I expected (certainly more than most, if not all other, stick brooms), but it’s nothing an average-sized person cannot handle.
In general, this is a great item and worth every penny thus far. It has made vacuuming less of a chore, for sure!
