Miele's s184 Powerhouse White upright vacuum is the mid-range of the new and improved versions of the previous models (170 series) which continue Miele's tradition of "Immer Besser" (ever better). This model is also powered by a full 10 amps/1050 watts of power which generate a full 55 CFM (cubic feet of air per minute) airflow. It utilizes a new intensive clean 6-quart capacity bag and incorporates a Hepa filter (replace annually). The onboard tools, which include a crevice tool and dusting brush are used with the 5 to 1 stretch hose. A selector switch allows one to turn off the brush roll (12 inches wide) so the machines may be used on bare floors. The s184 has a twenty five-foot cord and non-marring rubber wheels, headlight and a variable speed control which allows one to reduce the power around drapes and curtains. It is befitting of Miele's highest standard for power, performance, cleanliness, durability, and is, last, but not least, quiet.
