  1. I have two questions about the motor insulation:

    1) If you remove the HEPA filter, I want to know if you can see the insulation right above the motor. With my Callisto, I can.

    2) If you look at the black charcoal part of the HEPA filter, I want to know if you can see parts of this green fury insulation on it. Seems as if it’s falling apart on my brand new machine. But minor. Maybe one or two strand here and there, but scary. I worry of breathing it in.

  2. please, if you can’t affor one, then don’t

    there’s other pretty good vacuums out there that cost less then the miele

    and stop talking like you can only buy a miele

  3. 1) Yes, you will be able to see some green, inert, sound baffling material. This is normal.
    2) Even without the HEPA installed, the baffling material is hypoallergenic and as harmless as breathing is cotton fibers for most people. However, the Callisto is made to work optimally with either an “original” Miele HEPA filter in place, or the optional Miele Super Clean Air Filter.

  4. Yes, occasionally dust will escape out of the older style vacuum bags if the bag compartment is open and you apply pressure to dust filled bag. However, Miele’s newly designed bag has an automatic closing seal that is spring loaded to prevent this. “Immer Besser”.

  5. i own a miele vacuum, they are much better than any other vacuum cleaner on the market. i have personnally compared them to rainbow, dyson, kirby, etc.

  6. mustang134 miele are the only good home ones for my shop i use a nilfisk BUT I STRONGLY RECCOMEND THE MIELE FOR THE HOME THEY HAVE BEEN MAKING VACUUMS LONGER THAN EVERYONE ELSE I BELIEVE, IKNOW THEY HAVE BEEN IN BUSSINESS SINCE THE 1890’S!

  7. @skylinedesigner Any other vacuum that could even REMOTELY compare to the Miele would cost around one of Miele’s introductory models, so you might as well get a Miele.

    NO other vacuum on the market will give you the filtering capabilities, build quality, and power that a Miele will – at least for below $1500 retail.
