This quick access gives you the power to electronically adjust the motor's output to optimize cleaning of any surface or object right at your fingertips.
With this type of control, cleaning lamp shades, curtains and fabric window blinds becomes an almost joyful task undertaken with ease.
Conventional dusting will also become an activity of the past when using your S5980 Capricorn vacuum by Miele.

 

Power - A real power pack: the S5 motor is developed and produced in the Miele factories in Germany.
-A 1200-watt powerful performance
-Optimal usage of power through the airflow
The result: great cleaning performance with superior dust intake.

Filter System - The Active H.E.P.A. (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filter not only captures and retains tiny, lung-damaging particles (including dust mite feces and pollen), it also uses the same Generally Activated Charcoal filter (GAC) that the Active Air Clean filter uses to absorb odors.
This Miele filter conforms to the new stringent European standard for filtration (EN 1822) which means that it actually traps 99.99% of all particles as tiny as 0.3 of a micron.
These filters are so well designed that they only need to be replaced after 50 hours of use, or approximately 12 months.
There is also a convenient spot to write the date on the filter, which takes the guesswork out of when the filter should be replaced.

Bags - Thanks to the new innovative, automatic dustbag collar, a plastic flap on the HyClean dustbag closes the bag opening automatically when the dust compartment lid is opened. When the dust compartment lid is closed, a part of the suction hose connector presses the closed flap open, allowing the passage of air into the dustbag.
This offers convenience benefits on removal of a full dustbag and even when the dust compartment lid is opened.
When the dust flap is open, the colored hygiene seal integrated into the new collar ensures a tight fit and prevents dust escaping past the collar.
Extended bag life and improvements to suction power are two excellent reasons to make sure you use only genuine, Miele HyClean dustbags.

Included Floor Tools & Accessories - Parquet Twister Floor Brush A mixture of polyamide and natural hair ensures a gentle cushion for this floor brush which makes sure that tile, wood and other smooth surfaces are cleaned thoroughly with extreme care. It has a 90° rotation and is exceptionally agile at cleaning around obstacles such as table legs and in tight places.
