The motor endurance test:
very endurable!
We expect top-notch cradle-to-grave
performance from our vacuum cleaners: in
an intensive endurance test, with the
appliances being constantly switched on
and off, Miele motors must prove that they
are made to last.
The jamb/threshold test:
very robust!
In real life, Miele vacuum cleaners are
subjected to many knocks and obstacles
that they have to move over during
vacuuming – in this test, they have to
endure this strain 16,500 times without
interruption. Miele casings and rollers
prove their durability.
The cable rewind test:
very reliable!
The cable reels are unwound and rewound
more than 10,000 times in our test centres.
Only then are we satisfied and completely
certain of problem-free functioning in your
home.
The hose test:
very resilient!
Miele suction hoses are twisted, bent and
stretched with a 5 kg weight 120,000 times
in the laboratory, so you can pull your Miele
vacuum cleaner along behind you without
any risk of damage.
The floorhead test:
very hard-wearing!
A Miele floorhead must master 2000 km of
various types of floor coverings, that is as
far as Melbourne to Sydney and back. They
also cross a carpeted door threshold
60,000 times.
The handle test:
very indestructible!
Miele vacuum cleaner handles are hung
with 5 kg weights and lifted and lowered
120,000 times. The handle must survive
leverage forces completely damage-free.
Tested to the equivalent of 20 years usage*
*Equates to an average weekly use of 45 minutes per week at maximum power.
