Miele S514 Solaris Electro Plus Vacuum Cleaner 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. Sitting elegantly among their more deluxe midsize vacuum cleaners is the Miele S514 Solaris Electro Plus Power Team with its beautiful royal black finish. It is not just a canister vacuum cleaner but a complete power team with a motor driven powerbrush and electric hose. 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 Solaris Electro Plus on its looks alone.

Multi-Layer Filtration System

The Miele S514 Solaris Electro Plus vacuum cleaners use a multi-layer filtration system which increases the life of the high filtration exhaust filter. The air passes through a triple layer dustbag 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 Solaris Electro Plus vacuum comes standard with their Super Air Clean exhaust filter for those desiring outstanding filtration but who do not have dust related sensitivities which require the level of filtration which meets the stringent HEPA specification.

In a study conducted by the Department of Medicine, Division of Allergy and Clinical Immunology at the University of Virginia, the Miele vacuum cleaner with the Super Air Clean filter was tested, along with eight other leading brands, to determine if vacuum cleaner efficiency affects the level of airborne allergens commonly found in the home, such as pet dander and dust mite feces. The results indicate that some vacuum cleaners substantially increase allergens in the air. The study proved Miele captures virtually all the dust, dirt and allergens you pick up, improving the quality of the air you breathe. Newer optional Certified HEPA filters provide even greater filtration, producing net filtration which meets the stringent HEPA specification.

The Miele Advanced Emission Guard™ Sealed System

Cutaway view of Miele Sealed System

Using the Miele S514 Solaris Electro Plus vacuum cleaners differ from your typical home vacuum cleaners because of their special high filtration capabilities and Advanced Emission Guard™ 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.

Miele 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 Advanced Emission Guard™ sealed system you can rest assured that all the air flow passes through and is filtered by the Super Air Clean or optional Active Certified S-Class HEPA or Active Air Clean exhaust filters. 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 IntensiveClean Plus™ Dustbag

Miele IntensiveClean Plus Dustbag

Miele's revolutionary new IntensiveClean Plus™ dustbag offers unbeatable advantages which really enhance the performance of the Miele S514 Solaris Electro Plus vacuum cleaners. First and foremost, the unique new material which composes IntensiveClean Plus 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 IntensiveClean Plus 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.

Optional High Efficiency Filters

For those with dust related allergies or asthma, Miele has an optional Active Certified HEPA Filter which is tested and certified that it will meet the stringent HEPA specification. It will retain all particles as small as 0.3 µm (micrometers - formerly microns) in size with an efficiency rating of 99.97%. The HEPA acronym is used primarily in the USA whereas Europeans often refer to this same filter as an S-Class filter. This indicates that the filter meets standards like the British Standard 5415 and German norm: DIN 2418B Ti-E EU 13 for filtration performance. Miele's Active Certified HEPA Filter even includes a thin layer of Activated Charcoal for trapping unpleasant odors as well. When purchasing your new Miele from Ristenbatt Vacuum Cleaner Service, turn it into an outstanding allergy vacuum with extremely low dust emissions by adding the Active Certified HEPA filter for only $49.95.

Miele even has a special filter designed for the pet lovers in our world. Their Active Air Clean Filter features a thick layer of Activated Charcoal sandwiched between two Super Air Clean filters for outstanding odor trapping abilities. It's great for cat & dog owners. 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 Air Clean filter for only $39.95.

The optional Active Certified HEPA Filter or the Active Air Clean Filter can be used instead of the Super Air Clean exhaust filter which comes standard in all Miele S300i series and S514 midsize canisters. They can not be used in the Miele compact (S200 series) canisters.

World’s First HEPA Certified Vacuum Cleaner System

DMT Air Quality Test Institute Certification

This Miele vacuum cleaner, when used with a Certified HEPA filter like others in their S500i and S600i series, represents the world's first ever HEPA certified vacuum cleaner system. People especially concerned with indoor-air quality will be pleased to know that the filtration system with optional Certified HEPA filter in the Miele S514 Solaris Electro Plus vacuum was tested by the DMT Air Quality Test Institute and certified that it is in compliance with the stringent EN 1822 standard.

By testing the particle retention of the entire unit's filtration system it is one of the world's most stringent filtration standards. Much to Miele's delight, virtually all particulate matter was contained within this vacuum cleaner system, earning the S500i and S600i series the world's first certificate of HEPA certification. The Miele S514 Solaris Electro Plus vacuum, when combining the optional Certified HEPA Filter with their completely sealed system, provides the lowest vacuum cleaner dust emissions available for your home environment.

Efficient Miele Vortex Suction Motor

Miele Vortex Motor Fan

The powerful 1200 Watt, Miele Vortex suction motor produces plenty of suction for cleaning low to medium nap carpeted floors when used with its SEB 217-2 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 Solaris Electro Plus vacuum 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.

Electronic Motor Speed Control

This Miele vacuum cleaner is also equipped with an electronic motor speed control which adjusts the air flow to over 150 CFM, giving you complete control when you clean. The speed control dial, which is completely variable with six click stops (six stage), enables you to select the proper amount of power for cleaning anything from draperies to medium height carpets. Reducing the suction prevents curtains, upholstery or area rugs from inadvertently being drawn into the cleaning nozzle.

Complete Power Team with SEB 217-2 Powerbrush

Deluxe SEB 217-2 Electro Comfort Powerbrush

The Miele S514 Solaris Electro Plus vacuum is a complete power team that includes the SES 118 Direct Connect Electric Hose, SET 210 Direct Connect Electric Wand and SEB 217-2 Direct Connect Powerbrush. Its powerbrush is designed for cleaning low to medium height carpets.

Direct Connect Hose, Wand and Powerbrush

Miele's SES 118 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, the SES 118 hose mates with the top of the SET 210 Direct Connect Electric Wand with its internal wiring. The bottom of this wand mates with the SEB 217-2 Direct Connect 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.

The electric hose has a built-in swivel at the cleaner, allowing it to swivel freely for 360° to enable you to work conveniently near the machine. This feature also reduces sideways stresses which can significantly shorten its life span, causing it to tear prematurely. Additionally, the hose itself can swivel freely within the rounded end you hold, further preventing the hose from tangling while being used. The hose itself is designed to be crush resistant for longer wear as well.

You can easily recognize this SES 118 Direct Connect Electric Hose, SET 210 Direct Connect Electric Wand and Direct Connect Powerbrush combination by the rounded hose end and matching black steel telescopic wand. The ergonomically designed rounded hose end enables you to easily grip this special handle with minimal bending of your wrist, reducing stress and fatigue to your lower arm. This is a good example of how Miele goes to great lengths, even with small details, to ensure the quality, performance and beauty of their products.

Hose and All Three Wheels Swivel 360°

The hose end has a built-in swivel, allowing it to swivel freely for 360°, enabling you to work conveniently near the machine. This feature also reduces sideways stresses on the hose which can significantly shorten its life span, causing it to tear prematurely. Additionally, the hose itself can swivel freely within the end you hold, further preventing the hose from tangling while used. The hose itself is designed to be crush resistant for longer wear as well.

Miele Solaris Electro Plus vacuums 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 it 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.

Convenient Covered Attachment Storage

The Miele S514 Solaris Electro Plus vacuum cleaner 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.

Motorized Power Nozzle

The Miele S514 Solaris Electro Plus Power Team comes complete with the Miele SEB 217-2 Powerbrush for deep cleaning low or medium nap carpets. Having a 1.4 Amp motor to drive the 10 1/2" revolving brush, it adds to the power of the Miele S514 Solaris Electro Plus instead of robbing power from its air flow like the turbine driven nozzle on the Solaris Turbo Plus does. A cog type belt is used to provide positive power transfer from the motor to the brush roll. The belt and brush roll are similar to those used in the Miele Turbobrush. To supply the electricity needed to run the motor in the SEB 217-2 Powerbrush, the Solaris Electro Plus also includes the SES 118 electric hose and SET 210 Electric Telescopic Wand. 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.

Additional Deluxe Features

The Miele S514 Solaris Electro Plus vacuum is designed with many deluxe features not found on other Miele vacuum cleaners nor competing brands. These include an extra large 1 1/3" (34mm) inside diameter hose, large primary filter and more bag compartment ribbing for increased air flow. The redesigned case has an extra wide wrap around bumper for improved furniture protection and more ground clearance for thicker carpets. If desired, you can store the bare floor brush in the rear parking slot while using another attachment.

Outstanding Warranties

Miele provides a year of peace of mind, knowing that you will not have the expense of a repair which is covered by their standard One Year Limited Warranty. In addition to this, the Miele Seven Year Limited Motor Warranty provides six additional years of peace of mind, knowing that you will not have the expense of a suction motor repair which is covered by this warranty.
