If you don't have plush carpets, you probably don't need this Capricorn with SEB 236 Powerbrush included. If you only have low-to-medium-nap carpets (or no carpets at all!), check out the Capricorn with just the SEB 217.
Miele S5980 Capricorn Canister Vacuum
The Miele S5980 Capricorn canister vacuum is the top model in the S5 series from the famous German maker of floor care systems, and it's packed with the best Miele features available. It comes complete with the 1200-watt Vortex Motor System, Miele's famous HEPA Sealed System, fingertip suction controls with LED status indicators, the SBB300-3 Parquet Floor Brush, a fully electric hose and telescopic wand system and much more.
Top Power
The Miele S5980 Capricorn vacuum features the powerful 1200-watt Vortex Motor System for tackling the toughest cleaning problems, and the lightweight canister is ideal for stairs and other hard to reach areas. The high-output motor is suspended and sealed in a beautiful Luna Silver canister shell, which has been specifically designed for quiet operation.
Top Performance
Fingertip controls on the deluxe handle of the direct connect hose and telescoping wand system tailor the suction power on the machine for every imaginable job, and electricity is delivered to attachments without hassling with external wiring. It includes a parquet floor brush for cleaning all hard floor surfaces, and 3 on-board tools are cleverly hidden behind the canister's accessory door.
Top Filtration
The Miele S5980 Capricorn vacuum provides the most powerful allergen protection available via Miele's Active HEPA filtration system, which captures 99.99 percent of airborne particles down to 0.3 microns. The Miele system conforms to the stringent European standard (EN 1822) for air hygiene, and it's perfect for allergy sufferers or anybody who is concerned with indoor air purity.
Top Features
Its 29.5' operating radius means less time wasted to switch outlets in different rooms, and the larger 4.76-quart IntensiveClean Plus bag system offers immaculate bag changes.
