Miele Leo S5381 Review & Testimonial

If you're trying to deep clean plush carpets, you need the Leo with SEB 236 Powerbrush included. If you only have low-to-medium-nap carpets (or no carpets at all!), please continue reading about the Leo with the smaller SEB 217 below.

Perfect for those seeking top air hygiene standards, the Miele S5381 Leo canister vacuum cleaner comes complete with Miele's famous sealed HEPA filtration system for maximum allergen protection as well as offering a host of top of the line features found in the S5 series, including the 1200-watt Vortex Motor System, an automatic power setting feature and a fully electric wand and hose.

Miele Power

With an impressive 33' operation radius, the S5381 Leo vacuum's 1200-watt Vortex Motor System is adjustable via user friendly electronic controls with an LED display on the canister and offers an airflow of 141 cubic feet per minute. The compact design is lightweight and highly maneuverable to tackle the toughest cleaning chores in hard to reach areas.

Miele Features

The stylish Saffron Yellow Miele S5381 Leo vacuum includes a abs grade telescoping wand and electric hose as well as a parquet floor brush with soft genuine horsehair bristles on a 90-degree rotating head for maximum maneuverability, and the cleverly hidden tool caddy offers a crevice tool, a dusting brush and an upholstery tool for fast on-board access.

Allergy Weapon

Miele's Sealed System HEPA filtration system conforms to tough European standards for sanitary air, and it's designed to trap particulate matter down to 0.3 of a micron. The Miele IntensiveClean Plus 4.76-quart capacity dust bag system provides immaculate bag changes without the slightest contamination of ambient air.

Miele Extras

Three smooth-running rubber wheels rotate the canister a full 360 degrees, and a convenient foot switch turns the power off and on.
