Miele Complete C3 Cat & Dog Vacuum Introduction

Miele - Made in Germany

Miele has been designing and manufacturing products for the home since 1899. They produced their first vacuum cleaner in 1927. Their products are world renowned for their power, durability and performance. The introduction of the Miele Cat & Dog vacuum, with its beautiful Koi Orange finish, whisper quiet operation and lightweight skeleton construction, 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.

While continuing the strong Miele tradition of quality, design, beauty and outstanding performance, this Miele Cat & Dog, with its very convenient direct connect electric hose, direct connect electric wand, direct connect SEB 228 Electro Plus Powerbrush and deluxe Parquet "Twister" floor brush, takes Miele's beauty and technology to an even higher level.

Multi-Layer Filtration System

Miele vacuum cleaners use a multi-layer filtration system which increases the life of the high filtration exhaust filter. The air passes through their high filtration 3-Layer 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 Cat & Dog Vacuum comes equipped with a special filter designed for the pet lovers in our world. The Active AirClean Filter features a thick layer of Activated Charcoal sandwiched between two Super AirClean filters for outstanding odor trapping abilities. It's great for cat & dog owners.

The Miele Sealed System™

Using the Miele Complete C3 Cat & Dog canister vacuum 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 when you remove it from the vacuum for disposal. Taking this concept even further, an optional Miele Hygiene Cap can be snapped into the hose inlet of this vacuum when the hose is removed. This added protection enhances the ability of this Miele vacuum to provide extremely low dust emissions.

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 Active AirClean Filter 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 GN AirClean Dustbag

Miele's revolutionary new AirClean™ dustbag offers unbeatable advantages which really enhance the performance of the Miele Cat & Dog canister 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.

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.

Efficient Miele Vortex Suction Motor

Miele Vortex Motor Fan

The powerful 1200 Watt, Miele Vortex suction motor produces plenty of suction for cleaning all heights of carpets when used with its SEB 228 Powerbrush. As such it is a very effective 1440 watt (12 Amps.) power team...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 Cat & Dog vacuum will perform quietly for many years. To learn more about this outstanding motor, see our article on the Powerful Miele Vortex Motor.

Convenient Electronic Motor Power Control

The Complete C3 Cat & Dog 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 lighted icons 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.

Complete Power Team with SEB 228 Powerbrush

Deluxe SEB 228 Electro Plus Powerbrush

The Miele Complete C3 Cat & Dog vacuum is a complete power team that includes the Direct Connect Electric Hose, SET 220 Direct Connect Electric Wand and SEB 228 Electro Plus Powerbrush. Its powerbrush is designed for cleaning low to plush carpets.

Having a 1.4 Amp motor to drive the 12 1/2" revolving brush, the powerbrush adds to the power of the Miele Complete C3 Cat & Dog vacuum. A cog type belt is used to provide positive power transfer from the motor to the brush roll. You can even use the powerbrush to clean small areas of bare floors by stopping the powerbrush motor and brush roll with a flip of the finger-tip power nozzle switch on the hose.

Deluxe Parquet Twister Floor Brush

Miele SBD 285-3 AllTeQ Combination Nozzle

This Miele vacuum is also packaged with the SBB 300-3 Parquet Twister Floor Brush which is specifically designed for cleaning Parquet floors although it works very nicely on all non-carpeted floors. It is 12" wide having long, very soft bristles completely around its perimeter. Notches along the front allow dirt to easily enter the nozzle. The wand connector elbow has a 2-way swivel which enables the brush to be pivoted (twisted) as the wand is twisted side to side. It is very agile, enabling it to even slide sideways between close furniture. The elbow has a long tab which can hold this nozzle securely in the parking slots on the sides and back of this vacuum when you pause while cleaning.

Direct Connect Hose, Wand and Powerbrush

Miele's Direct Connect Electric Hose automatically makes the electrical connections when you insert it into the cleaner. In addition to the direct connect at the cleaner, this hose mates with the top of the SET 220 Direct Connect Electric Wand with its internal wiring. The bottom of this wand mates with the SEB 228 Electro Plus Powerbrush. This electric wand even telescopes so you can easily adjust it to match your individual stature. For convenient storage, it collapses to about half its total height.

When you attach the wand to the hose and the powerbrush to the wand, all electrical connections are made automatically. Removing them is just as easy. There are absolutely no exposed cords on the hose, wand and powerbrush which need to be plugged in manually. All electrical wiring is built into them. This direct connect feature between the electric hose, electric wand and powerbrush provides even more convenience and user friendliness. It really makes it a breeze to switch between the powerbrush, floor brush or other attachment without breaking your pace.

Included Durable Hand Held Turbobrush

STB 101 Turbobrush

Also made in Germany, Miele's STB 101 Turbobrush provides outstanding pet hair removal from upholstered furniture and carpeted stairs. The nozzle is self-leveling, enabling easier cleaning of curved surfaces. It is easily opened for access to the turbine and brush roll for occasional cleaning. In fact, the complete attachment can be disassembled and cleaned should the need arise. This attachment is much more substantual in its performance and quality than most other hand held tubine nozzles.

Convenient Covered Attachment Storage

Integrated Attachment Storage

The Miele Complete C3 Cat & Dog vacuum carries its three small attachments conveniently tucked away in the covered tool storage on the main unit 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.

Whisper Quiet Canister Operation

Whisper Quiet Canister Operation

For many years Miele vacuums cleaners have been much quieter than most vacuums. More recent series have become even quieter in their operation. Their S6 compact vacuum series set a new standard of very low level sound levels. When we thought vacuums could not be any quieter, Miele's engineers developed the S8 series vacuums with their amazing whisper quiet canister operation. (On February 1, 2015 the "S8" series was renamed the "Complete C3" series.) When used with their SEB 228 Powerbrush the sound level is increased slightly although still very quiet.

This Miele Cat & Dog vacuum, along with others in the Miele Complete C3 series, has special construction and sound insulation which make it whisper 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 canister vacuum is actually quieter than a pot of boiling water. Now that is quiet!

All Three Wheels Swivel 360°

The Miele Cat & Dog vacuum cleaners are designed to track nicely behind you as you pull them by the hose. They are equipped with three wheels which turn a full 360° making them very easy to maneuver and very stable. Going over electrical cords, door thresholds and around furniture is a breeze. Since it can be moved in any direction, being able to easily push it out of your path when working near the machine is an added convenience.
