The Miele Galaxy Capricorn S5981 is Miele’s top of the line in canister vacuums. A new ergonomic handle keeps the strain off your wrist and included on the handle are an electric power display and suction control. Miele, a German, family-owned company, has been producing exceptional vacuum cleaners for generations, and the Miele Capricorn S5981 proves why Miele is so highly rated. Choose to upgrade to the SEB236 powerhead and you will have the very best canister vacuum Miele offers. New Color Available Feb 14, 2011 - Midnight Purple Pearl Finish! Older model color was Luna Silver.

Miele Capricorn Handle Suction Control

The Miele S5 Series Capricorn comes with the SEB217-3 Electric Power Brush and is designed for low to medium pile carpeting and smooth flooring. You can easily adjust the suction via a +/- suction control button on the handle itself, giving you fingertip control over the amount of suction you need. So when you're ready to clean blinds, upholstery or throw rugs, with the Miele Capricorn, reducing suction has been made even easier.

The Miele Capricorn also includes the Parquet Floor Tool. Natural wood, laminate or ceramic floors look stunning but can be difficult to clean, as care must be taken not to damage the delicate surface. The parquet floor brush is specially designed for these types of floors as it features delicate bristles around the edges for a thorough yet gentle clean. The head is 12 inches wide giving you a wide cleaning path. One of it’s most stunning features is that it has a 90° rotation and is exceptionally agile at cleaning around obstacles such as table legs etc.

Miele S5981 Capricorn Convenient Tool Storage

On board tool storage make light work of those cleaning jobs where you want to quickly disconnect the powerhead, reduce suction, and grab the tools you need to clean blinds, drapes or upholstery. Since the tools are on-board, everything is right there at your fingertips to do the job quickly and efficiently. You will never have to wonder again, "Where did I put that dusting brush".The Miele SEB217-3 powerhead included with the Miele Capricorn will remove the dust and dirt from your carpets to keep them looking their best. With a floating head, it is best suited for low to medium pile carpeting.

Our customers are excited to hear that Miele's just got quieter. Miele has a reputation for being a quiet machine, but their new silence setting on the Miele Capricorn lets you maintain a high level of power with quieter operation.

Miele's S5's are fitted with an extra long cord and automatic cord rewind. No need to change sockets so frequently. The operating radius is an impressive 33 feet.

Miele S5 Series Ergonomic Handle

If you have thicker or plush carpeting you may want to upgrade to the SEB236 powerhead. The 13-3/8" wide brush roll, provides you with 5 height adjustments for cleaning a variety of carpet heights with 5 height adjustments. Call us at 1-800-221-8227 and we can help you upgrade to the SEB236 powerhead.

Easy maneuverability is another great feature of the Miele S5981 Capricorn. With three 360 degree caster wheels you can easily glide from carpet to bare floors, over threshholds, and back to carpeting with ease. And that's not all that's easy about this machine. The Miele S5 Series Vacuum Cleaners have an ergonomically designed handle to reduce the strain on your wrists.

Miele S5 Series Vacuum Cleaner Endurance Testing

Longevity Test: Miele vacuum cleaners are tested with a required result of 1000 operating hours. 1000 operating hours represents about 20 years of residential use. It is the critical primary component of the Miele vacuum cleaner that accounts for this longevity, and that component is the Miele Vortex Motor System.

Floor Test: Miele 's floor and accessory tools are tested on miles and miles of different flooring. The tools and brushes are carefully and methodically inspected, just like the vacuum cleaners. Finally all tools must pass a drop test where they are repeatedly dropped from a height of almost three feet. When they pass this test then, and only then, are they ready to proceed with production.

Threshold Test: Miele vacuum cleaners are put through a series of tests that simulate the daily uses and abuses a vacuum cleaner goes through to make sure the bumpers, casters and outside casing all meet Miele's high standard of excellence. The threshold test is just such a test. Here Miele vacuums travel miles of track with simulated door thresholds, bumps, and curves to put the most stress possible on the machine.

Hose Test: Because of the rigorous testing they go through, Miele hoses are among the best in the world. Every single production lot goes through countless bend and stretch tests. To test the endurance of the hose, the hose, a Miele vacuum plus an additional 5kg(11 lbs) is stretched thousands of times. Passing this test undamaged is necessary to be included in the Miele lineup of products.

Cable Pull Test: A broken cordwinder is absolutely one of the most frustrating things. Miele cable reels (cordwinders) endure an aggressive quality assurance test. The cord is pulled out and retracted over 1000 times before it is approved. This gives you the assurance that the cordwinder on your Miele vacuum cleaner will work for years and years.

I love the look, the way the controls are on the handle, that there are attachments so that no area goes uncleaned.

Describe Yourself: Casual Do-It-Yourselfer
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

I replaced an old Miele, and have never been disappointed. I particularly like not have a cord to deal with... It is already in the handle and hose. This model is great for anyone with severe allergies, asthma, or any other serious breathing and/or lung conditions. I love it. Central Vacuum had knowledgable and extremely helpful customer service reps available to answer all my questions. Vacuum was shipped in a timely manner and was received the next day. I highly recommend this company and this vacuum.
