Miele uprights are no longer available. We suggest the Sebo Brand as a good alternative. The Felix and X4 are most comparable.
The Miele Dynamic U1 Maverick upright vacuum cleaner is a powerful, full-sized vacuum cleaner that can easily clean all the carpets in your home. It has a powerful 1200-watt Miele made Vortex Motor plus a separate 4,800 rpm motor to power the floor brush. The slender body gives this vacuum a flat-to-the-floor design that makes it easy to clean under beds and furniture. Also, the SwivelNeck makes this vacuum extremely maneuverable.
The 1.5 gallon AirClean 3D Efficiency filter bag minimizes the need to change bags so often. This bag also has an AutoSeal, self-locking collar that blocks particulates from returning to the air once captured inside the bag. For convenience, the four power levels can be selected using the rotary dial on the front body. After you turn on the power, the power increases gradually to protect the motor from overheating. The crevice tool and upholstery and dusting brushes included are integrated at the rear of the vacuum for ease of access. You don't have to change electrical outlets as often due to the 39' long electrical cord that gives you a huge 54' operating radius. You can quickly release the power cord by turning the lower cord hook upwards. With just the push of a button you can adjust the stainless steel, telescopic wand for your height. The wand can also be used with the accessories to make hard to reach areas easily accessible.
A temperature limiter protects the Miele Dynamic U1 Maverick from overheating. Should the air passage become blocked, the motor will automatically shut off. It will be ready to use again after the clog has been eliminated and the motor has cooled down.
