Miele Bolero Vacuum Cleaner Introduction

Miele has been designing and manufacturing products for the home since 1899. They produced their first vacuum cleaner in 1927 and celebrated their 100th Anniversary in June of 1999. Their products are world renowned for their power, durability and performance. The introduction of the Miele Bolero upright vacuum, with its beautiful Deep Black finish, reflects their commitment to designing and manufacturing outstanding vacuum cleaners. As with all Miele products, all its advanced technology and incredible power is harnessed within a truly beautiful work of art. You may even be tempted to purchase a Miele S7580 Bolero S7 upright vacuum cleaner on its looks alone.

While continuing the strong Miele tradition of quality, design, beauty and outstanding performance, the new Miele S7 series upright vacuums, like the Miele Bolero, take Miele's beauty and technology to an even higher level. New innovative features include the Swivel-Neck™ for easy, more natural steering, low weight distribution for lighter handling, a super-long 12' stretch hose plus the use of the same powerful Miele Vortex suction motor for which their canister vacuums are so well known and a separate 4,800 RPM electric motor which drives the revolving brush roll. The soft-touch plus and minus motor power selection buttons plus Intelligent Automatic Power Setting on the Miele Bolero model S7580 upright make it even more user friendly.

SwivelNeck™ Enables Easy Steering

When designing the new S7 Series uprights, Miele desired to provide them with maximum agility so you can easily reach into more areas in your home. To do this, they designed a unique SwivelNeck™ at the bottom of the vertical body. This enables you to easily steer the vacuum by twisting the handle and vertical body from side to side. As you do this, the base with cleaning nozzle pivots from side to side, guiding the vacuum toward the desired direction. Small, soft wheels located just behind the nozzle opening can pivot 360°, enabling the vacuum to turn easily. These unique steering actions are fluid, natural and almost effortless by you.

Automatic Height Adjustment

The small, soft wheels mentioned above ensure that the nozzle rides just above bare floors when cleaning them. Wide, soft wheels located near the back of the base tuck in underneath it when the handle is lowered, contributing to the vacuum's automatic height adjustment by making the front lighter so it rides near the top of the carpet. Adding to this is a special brush roll floating mechanism which enables the roll to automatically raise and lower within the cleaning nozzle to better match the height of the carpet being cleaned.

Powerful 2-Motor Cleaning System

Miele designed their new S7 series uprights from the ground up, investing a number of years into research and development. A strong emphasis was to create an upright design which will provide outstanding performance on all heights of carpets as well as on bare floors in the same way as their world renowned canister vacuums with powerbrushes. Like them, these uprights are designed with two powerful motors, the Miele Vortex suction motor plus a new 4,800 RPM motor to drive the full size 12 1/4" revolving brush roll. A non-slip cog type belt provides positive power transfer from the brush motor to the brush roll. This special type of belt is reinforced so can not stretch nor slip. It enables consistent brushing action from month after month.

By incorporating two motors into the powerful Miele Bolero upright vacuum, performance is improved on both carpets and bare floors. Since the suction motor produces the air flow that picks up the dirt and debris, it is not affected by the load produced on the brush roll by the carpet being cleaned. Also, a switch on the handle enables you to stop the brush motor and brush roll when cleaning bare floors so the dirt and grit are not whipped back by it before the air flow has a chance to pick it up. A squeege located behind the brush roll opening also aids in performance when cleaning bare floors.

Efficient Miele Vortex Suction Motor

The powerful 1200 Watt, Miele Vortex suction motor produces plenty of suction for cleaning all carpeted and bare floors plus above-the-floor cleaning with the on-board attachments. A separate 4,800 RPM electric motor drives the revolving brush roll when cleaning carpets. As such this Miele Bolero is a very effective 1440 watt (12 Amps.) upright...both in its ability to pick up dirt and allergens and in its ability to retain them. This high performance motor has fan parts that are aerodynamically designed with no parallel surfaces and nine long fan scoops compared to the typical six shorter ones. These scoops are quite wide near the hub of the fan and become more narrow toward the outer edge similar to that of a jet engine compressor. This single stage "compressor design" optimizes the air flow and increases the overall motor efficiency. Featuring lifetime lubricated ball bearings, well balanced motor parts, enhanced motor suspension and lining of the motor housing, the Miele Bolero will perform quietly for many years. Due to its typical life expectancy of 1200 hours, Miele proudly warranties this motor for seven years. To learn more about this outstanding motor, see our article on the Powerful Miele Vortex Motor.

Convenient Electronic Motor Power Control

The S7580 Bolero vacuum is also equipped with six different motor power settings which adjusts the air flow, giving you complete control when you clean. The plus and minus electronic power control buttons and LED indicator bar on the vacuum enables you to easily select the proper amount of power for cleaning anything from draperies to plush carpeting. Reducing the suction prevents curtains, upholstery or area rugs from inadvertently being drawn into the cleaning nozzle. The Miele Bolero vacuum also has the Intelligent Automatic Power Level setting which electronically adjusts the power level to suit the surface currently being cleaned and ensures the most economical use of energy.

This Miele vacuum, along with others in the new Miele S5 series, has special sound insulation which makes it particularly quiet. The special "Silence Setting" combines the lowest noise level with the ideal power level for the most efficient cleaning results. When operating at this level the vacuum is actually quieter than a pot of boiling water. Now that is quiet!

Multi-Layer Filtration System

The Miele Bolaro vacuum cleaner uses a multi-layer filtration system which increases the life of the high filtration exhaust filter. The air passes through their high filtration AirClean Bag and a secondary electrostatic filter before reaching the special exhaust filter. Each layer of filtration captures more particles as the air passes through them. Ideally, multi-layer filtration enhances performance by ensuring good air flow through the system. It prevents large particles from reaching and blocking the exhaust filter, saving it for critical particle retention.

The Miele Bolaro upright vacuums come equipped with their HEPA AirClean Exhaust Filter for exceptional allergen filtration. A lower cost alternative is the Super AirClean exhaust filter which is packaged with the dustbags. It is designed for those desiring good filtration but who do not have dust related sensitivities which require the level of filtration which meets the stringent HEPA 13 specification. You will need to order the optional Filter Holder #06803180 to use the Super AirClean filter in this vacuum.

The Miele Sealed System™

Using the Miele Bolero upright vacuum model S7580 differs from your typical home vacuum cleaner because of its special high filtration capabilities and its Sealed System™. This means that the sub-micrometer dust you pick up actually reaches the high filtration exhaust filter and is not blown out through minute cracks in the case or around the exhaust filter like many competing cleaners with high filtration exhaust filters. To protect you even more the dustbag is designed to automatically close its opening as you remove it from the vacuum for disposal.

Vacuum cleaners are designed so that air flows through the nozzle and hose into the dustbag, and then through any additional filters before leaving the machine at the exhaust. Filters capable of achieving sub-micrometer filtration are important but equally important is how much of the air flow containing these allergens, etc. actually passes through the filters to be cleaned by them. With the Miele Sealed System™ you can rest assured that all the air flow passes through and is filtered by the included Active Certified HEPA exhaust filter. Having a completely sealed system also helps improve suction by ensuring that all air flow through the motor is also pulled through the hose and attachments, not entering through unsealed joints in the case, wands and attachments.

High Performance AirClean™ Dustbag

Miele's revolutionary new AirClean™ dustbag offers unbeatable advantages which really enhance the performance of the Miele Bolero upright vacuum cleaner. First and foremost, the unique new material which composes AirClean dustbags has made significant progress in the quality of filtration: Thanks to its intricate web of three-ply random-spun polymer fibers, far more tiny particles and allergens are retained than with conventional dustbags. This alone accounts for a reduction in dust emissions from the dustbag of up to 50%, based on levels which were already extremely low. Therefore, this vacuum's secondary filter and high efficiency exhaust filter will be kept cleaner, providing outstanding cleaning performance with reduced resistance to the air flow. A spring loaded door on the bag collar closes automatically as you remove the bag, reducing the risk of dust puffing up into your face.

The enhanced composition of AirClean virtually eliminates clogging, improving cleaning performance even further. This material captures millions of tiny dust particles and holds them tight within its fibers, keeping the pores of the dustbag open longer. As a result, this Miele vacuum cleaner retains its excellent cleaning performance, even when the dustbag is full. This special polymer material also makes the dustbag practically tear-proof. The risk of damage caused by sharp, pointed objects in the bag is now a thing of the past.

High Efficiency Filters

For those with dust related allergies or asthma, Miele has included an HEPA AirClean Filter that meets the stringent HEPA 13 specification. It has been proven to retain over 99.99% of dust particles. It only needs to be replaced approximately once a year. A special "Timestrip" provides a visual indication of when the filter should be replaced. Packaged in a white case, the SF-HA 30 HEPA AirClean filter takes clean air to an even higher level. It replaces the former SF-AH 30 HEPA filter in a light blue case which meets the "HEPA 12" specification.

Miele even offers an optional special filter designed for the pet lovers in our world. Their Active AirClean Filter features a thick layer of Activated Charcoal for outstanding odor trapping abilities. It's great for cat & dog owners to use instead of the HEPA filter. When purchasing your new Miele from Ristenbatt Vacuum Cleaner Service, turn it into an allergy vacuum with very low dust and odor emissions by adding the Active AirClean filter for only (Price not found) . Only one of exhaust filter can be used at a time.

Convenient Attachment Storage

The Miele S7580 Bolero vacuum carries its three small attachments conveniently tucked into the back of the vacuum where they are always easily accessible. This design reduces the risk of bumping these attachments, accidentally knocking them from the vacuum cleaner. The dusting brush has soft, natural hair bristles which will not curl and mat like synthetic ones tend to do. The upholstery nozzle has two red strips which are like the "magic lint brushes", capturing the lint, hairs and threads and then cleaning themselves on the reverse stroke. Even the 12" crevice tool is special, being longer than on most other vacuums. A ultra light (6.6 oz.) aluminum telescopic wand is attached to the on-board hose, enabling you to easily reach those hard to reach areas. The long 12' hose is attached near the bottom of the vacuum, providing much more stability than most upright vacuums when using the attachments.

Special Attachments Bonus

Starting in August of 2010, Miele includes the following special attachments to enhance your cleaning experience with this deluxe Miele S7 upright vacuum. If purchased separately these special attachments would cost over $100.00.

The Miele MicroSet includes four attachments that are especially designed for cleaning delicate items and collectibles throughout your house. Based around the Micro Hose with its combination crevice tool/dusting brush, this set extends its use by including an Extension Crevice Tool, Extension Dusting Brush and Angled Crevice Nozzle. All MicroSet attachments are store conveniently in an attractive carrying case.

Also included with this outstanding S7 upright vacuum Miele's extra-long 22" Flexible Crevice Tool #SFD 20. Its unique construction consists of a long soft vinyl center section with rigid high impact ends, making it quite durable yet flexible. This crevice tool is great for reaching under refrigerators, behind old fashioned radiators and other hard to reach areas.
