Miele S8990 UniQ HEPA Vacuum Cleaner with AirClean Sealed System

The Miele UniQ delivers thoughtful design and agile performance rarely seen in canister vacuums. Part of Miele’s S8 line, this model cleans medium to thick carpet but also works on smooth, delicate floors. A 12-stage sealed HEPA filtration system is independently lab-tested to capture 99.99% of allergens as small as .3 microns.

Exclusive features not seen in other S8 models are included with the Miele Uniq S8990. Underbody lights and a velvet bumper strip protect it, while a deluxe handle grip with button controls makes it a convenient choice. Its automatic setting means hassle-free movement because a sensor automatically adjusts its suction power as it moves from room to room—so moving from hardwoods to thick carpeting requires no extra work from you.

Intuitive and Versatile

The UniQ comes with 2 floor heads: the Electro Premium Powerbrush keeps carpet plush and clean while the Parquet Twister Floor Tool cleans bare floors. The Electro Premium brush is powered by its own motor head for strong suction. An LED headlight on this tool illuminates the floor so cleaning under tables or in poorly-lit spaces isn’t a problem.

Attach the Parquet Twister floor tool to clean smooth flooring with its soft but powerful fibers. Its neck twists a full 180 degrees to swivel around furniture legs or other obstacles. Swipe dust from moldings and baseboards with a gentle lift, then lay it flat against the floor to get deep under furniture. 

These tools are made even more nimble by the electric, stainless steel, telescopic wand that extends to reach difficult places with an easy click of a button near the handle.

True Allergy Relief

The Miele UniQ has a 12-stage AirClean Sealed System that virtually eliminates the chance of allergens escaping from the vacuum’s chambers. The sealant around the casing forces air to move through the patented filtration system, meaning vacuumed air can’t leak out.

An included Active HEPA Filter contains a charcoal film to neutralize odors, and is tested to pass strict European EN1822 filtration standards to capture 99.99% of all particles as small as 0.3 microns. A filter replacement indicator light lets you know when you need to replace it. The UniQ’s AirClean FilterBags are specially constructed to keep dust particles contained and consist of 9 electrostatically-charged layers and a self-locking collar.
