Miele S5281 Callisto Canister Vacuum w/ SEB 228 Powerbrush

The sleek black Miele S5281 Callisto canister model is packed with top features from the renowned German makers of world-class floorcare systems. It combines the powerful 1200-watt Vortex Motor System with a true HEPA air filtration in a smart canister design that is as beautiful as it is effective on all types of floor surfaces.

Miele Powerful

Its mighty 1200-watt S5 series Vortex Motor System delivers a maximum airflow of 141 cubic feet per minute to the 10.5" SEB 228 power brush for deep cleaning power on all types of carpet, and the parquet floor tool with genuine horsehair brushes provides excellent results on delicate hard floor surfaces of every kind.

Miele Versatile

The S5281 Callisto canister vacuum's lightweight design offers maximum maneuverability on stairs and other awkward areas, and its 33' cleaning radius means less stops to switch power outlets. The 6-level power adjustment on the canister toggles the suction volume for every imaginable task on the fly, and its deluxe ergonomic handle makes tough jobs a breeze.

Clean and Quiet Operation

Miele's famous Sealed System HEPA filtration system is on board, which conforms to tough European standards for indoor hygiene by removing airborne particles down to 0.3 microns, and the sophisticated motor assembly is sealed and suspended inside the canister to deliver operation quiet enough to hear a telephone ring at maximum power.

Miele Features

The Miele S5281 Callisto canister vacuum also includes a full bag indicator, 3 handy on-board tools in a convenient internal caddy, a fully electric hose for making quick attachment changes and a 2-point wand parking feature for storage and convenience during cleaning tasks. A thermal protection feature automatically powers the machine down in case a blockage occurs, and the large capacity 4.76-quart dust bags offer dust-free bag changes.
