Miele S2 Olympus Vacuum

The Miele S2 Olympus is a perfect vacuum for homes with hard floors and light carpeting.  Despite the attractive $299 price this vacuum has a 1200 watt Vortex motor for superior suction.  Lightweight, study and with excellent filtration the Olympus is an excellent entry level Miele vacuum.

If you live in an apartment without pets, in a small home with mostly hard flooring with low smooth nap carpeting, or just moved into a new home, the Miele Olympus 2 is the ideal vacuum cleaner for you. With a small, compact design that stows away easily, it will not require much storage space, and is very much suited to homes where space is a constraint. If you are new to owning vacuums, this would be the perfect purchase at entry-level without extra features that you may not need immediately. It is upgradeable and therefore ideal for low budgets without skimping on quality and reliability. If you are looking to acquire a discounted vacuum or simply looking for vacuums that cost less, the Miele Olympus fits the bill.

Miele Olympus 2 is one of the lightest in the Miele family of vacuum cleaners. It belongs to the canister category and stands upright on its own. It can be carried from room to room, as well as upstairs and downstairs with ease. Setting up the telescopic wand is simple with Miele's Quick Connect System, which is specifically designed to help you snap the desired components in place. A benefit of having a canister vacuum is that you have more control over the wand and not have to lug the motor with every sweep. This allows you more flexibility in vacuuming underneath low furniture like coffee tables and nightstands, without the need to move furniture.

The following are key features of this Miele vacuum:

• Dimensions: 8"(H) x 10"(W) x 18.5" (L). Weight: 13 lbs
• The standard SBD350-3 Floor Tool is included, and has a foot switch to activate the extending of bristles to prevent scratching floors. Accessories included are an upholstery tool, crevice tool and a large brush. Stow them compact using the VarioClip storage system attached to the base of the hose. For easy portability, the wand can be connected to either the back or the base of the machine.
• Ergonomic designs: Suction control with a release valve on the lightweight standard handle. The large spacious carry handle on the machine makes it easy to transport the vacuum. 360 degree turning wheels have raised gliders for better maneuverability over floor debris like power cord and dragging across different floor types.
• Includes Active Clean Air Filter that works in tandem with the HyClean bags to clean more thoroughly than most vacuums by suctioning 94% of all particles as small as 0.03 microns. Option to upgrade to an HEPA filter to reduce particle count to 0.
• Power settings: 6 settings for your vacuuming needs. Maximum power setting for optimum suction and a quiet setting.
• Foot pedals to retract power cord and another to toggle the power on and off.
• Long retractable cord when fully extended allows you to operate within a radius shy of 30 feet. No need to manually unplug the unit as the foot pedal takes care of it by retracting and recoiling the cord.
• A crush-resistant hose maintains its flexibility and shape to last years of active use. Miele has rigorously tested the hose and connection to stand up to extensive use at home.
• Upgrades: Without buying another vacuum, you have the option to purchase upgrades for your Miele S2 Olympus with a choice of wands, hoses and a variety of motorized floor tools.

Instead of buying a discounted Olympus vacuum, consider this model which is priced affordably. You will be backed by the same Witbeck Vacuums warranty on top of the Limited Miele Warranty where shipping charges are waived both ways. You are purchasing from an Authorized Miele Diamond Dealer which has been in the business of selling vacuums since 1917.

Our recommendation:  Ideal for homes comprised mostly of hard floors and area rugs.

	Rotary Dial Power Controls With six power settings you have optimal control of the suction level to adjust to the task at hand.  At the most powerful setting you have a vacuum that has industry leading suction.  You even have the choice of a Quiet Setting that balances performance and noise.
	Foot Activated Controls A simple press of the foot will easily retract the cord while the opposite foot control will turn the vacuum on or off.

	GN ActiveClean Dust Bags With 9 layers of filtration Miele's Dust Bags are the envy of other manufactures.  The reinforced stitching prevents the bags from rupturing or ripping while the auto sealing opening prevents any accidental spillage when you remove the bag. This is the perfect compliment to an already ideal vacuum.
	Crush Resistant Hose Just like the vacuum the hose is designed to last. Strong yet resilient the hose is crush resistant and securely attaches to the machine. The hose and the connection have been thoroughly tested by Miele to tolerate the demands of home use. (Move your mouse over the image to see the hose to vacuum connection.)
