The Miele Pisces s5281 is a Turbo model in the S5 series, the S5281 Pisces canister vacuum combines premium S5 features with a remarkably low price.

Miele Pisces Power

Its 6-speed power dial on the canister adjusts the airflow of the powerful S5 series Vortex Motor System to a maximum of 141 cubic feet per minute, and its lightweight design makes it easy to maneuver on stairs and other hard-to-reach areas. The vacuum's specially sealed and suspended motor delivers luxurious Miele power while being astonishingly quiet to use.

Miele Pisces Features & Homes It's Designed For

The S5281 Pisces canister vacuum comes with the Miele STB205-3 Turbrobrush to stimulate and remove debris from carpet fibers for excellent results on cut pile carpet, and the SBB300-3 Parquet Floor Brush uses genuine horsehair bristles on two soft rollers for gently cleaning all types of delicate hardwood and hard floor surfaces.
The Miele Pisces s5281 is a canister vacuum that when used with the included turbo brush can handle homes with area rugs. It is in no way intended for wall to wall carpeting! If you have wall to wall carpeting in your home and looking for a Miele S5 Galaxy vacuum cleaner, be sure to look at the Miele Callisto.
