Gotham Gadgets: Miele launches the pet lover’s dream cleaning tool S7 Cat & Dog vacuum marks Miele’s first upright engineered to make pet clean-ups easier and healthier! Whom You Know Is Thrilled to Kick Off Our Coverage of Miele!!! Peachy Deegan Highly Recommends the S7260 Upright Vacuum Cleaner by Miele!!!!
At Whom You Know, we hate a mess. There is even a column called Clean Peachy, and we look for the best to keep everything in tip-top shape! Vacuums are among our most favorite tools, and we don't write on them often as we don't find many that really impress us. Miele impresses us in a big way and we are thrilled to kick off this inaugural coverage of this iconic family brand from Germany. Miele has come out with an amazing Upright Vacuum Cleaner, the S7260, made specifically for cleaning up pets!
Pets are a joy. Now cleaning up after them is too! Peachy Deegan love love loves to clean when she is using fun gadgets such as this. Miele has made cleaning FUN!!! Miele, creator of the world’s first HEPA certified vacuum cleaner and floor care innovation upon innovation since, now introduces the S7260 Cat & Dog vacuum that is specifically designed to remove pet hair and absorb carpet odors while retaining the dust, dirt and dander that can trigger allergies and asthma.
This model is super-easy to assemble. You just lock the handle into place, plug it in, make sure it is set to the proper setting for the surface you are about to clean, and turn it on! Of course in the manual it will tell you everything that should be common sense to you (Do not vacuum the actual animal! Do not vacuum wet surfaces! Perhaps we should add this to the Laugh with Peachy column...we understand why they do this legally and find it horrifying that some people need to be told this surely they aren't OUR readers), but do not be put off by the size of the manual; this is an intuitive vacuum.
Not only is it intuitive, but it operates like a dream. It is like any other vacuum you've used, but BETTER. The design is sleek. The engineering couldn't be better. Everything we tried to vacuum up was eaten by the Miele S7260 on the first sweep (Cheerios, cat hair, dog hair, Peachy hair, an earring back)...
Aside from the fact that it is indeed fabulous at picking up pet hair and odors, we have found this is a particularly excellent vacuum for city living. In Manhattan, all kinds of things are in the air and we have a great air filter (Rabbit Air) but when you combine that with an excellent vacuum such as this Miele S7260, the results are even better. Miele’s unique Sealed System™ technology, AirClean™ Filter-bag™ and Active AirClean™ filter with odor absorbing charcoal makes the S7 Cat & Dog vacuum the popular choice for pet lovers nationwide. We tried this with cat hair; it worked well! Not a hair was missed on the first sweep. We tried this with dog hair; it was equally well-performing. We even tried this with Peachy's hair as if you think your cat or dog sheds a lot...well, we won't say but her hair, although famed from Salon Peachy, does get all over the place.
“For over 83 years, Miele’s high-performance vacuums have effectively helped families keep their homes cleaner and healthier,” states Paul McCormack, spokesperson for Miele. “Now it’s time to focus on the extended family – the pets! The S7260 Cat & Dog is our first upright vacuum engineered specifically for cat and dog owners.” The secret behind Miele’s ultimate household cleaning system that easily picks up after pets? It’s the sum of three very important components:
ü Miele’s ultra-quiet Vortex Motor System™ delivers the powerful suction and airflow necessary to remove stubborn pet hair and is tested to last an incredible 20 years.1 Plus, it’s so quiet it won’t disturb a cat’s mid-afternoon nap or a dog’s beauty sleep. It REALLY IS quiet too....we hate noisy vacuum cleaners.
ü The versatile and easy-to-maneuver S7 brush roller comes standard with an innovative automatic height adjustment that is ideal for all floor surfaces. It automatically adjusts when transitioning from hardwood to high-pile carpet. This unique feature ensures proper airflow to remove dirt in one pass. Patented SwivelNeck™ technology allows the entire brush roller to effortlessly limbo under chairs, tables and to dance around lamps and other objects, including pets! As an added bonus, this new vacuum package includes a Mini-Turbobrush (model STB101) that’s ideal for grooming stairs, upholstery or car interiors. The Cat & Dog also comes standard with four integrated specialty tools for cleaning upholstery, crevices and dusting surfaces high and low. There really is no space that this vacuum can't get into! From the crevice nozzle to the upholstery tool to the dusting brush it will leave every surface you have that is dry and not breathing (as in alive) spotless. We also love that it is not heavy and clunky.
ü Independent tests prove that most other vacuums leak dangerous lung-damaging particles – NOT a Miele vacuum with advanced AirClean™ filtration. This is especially important when cleaning up after household pets, given their dander PLUS all the other 'things' they typically carry into the house from outdoors. The electrostatically charged material of the Miele AirClean™ Filter-bag™ traps micro-sized debris within nine layers of filtration and the spring-loaded self-sealing collar protects pet owners from inhaling any dust or dirt when replacing the bag. The complete study can be found on www.airtruth.com.
The S7260 Cat & Dog vacuum comes in a stunningly modern Lotus White color which matches everything and is a truly classy shade. An LED headlight illuminates every piece of dirt, even those hidden in the hard-to-reach corners. The lightweight aluminum wand is so convenient that homeowners can carry the cat while vacuuming their comfort zone! The Miele Cat & Dog vacuum retails for $715 and is worth every penny!
Whom You Know Highly Recommends the Miele Cat & Dog vacuum S7260 and we are pleased to inaugurate our coverage of this brand! Our first Miele experience was phenomenal and we look forward to seeing the next model in their hit parade!

Miele’s long heritage of vacuum firsts dates back 83 years to the use of Bakelite as a sound dampener in 1927, the advent of convenient integrated tools and stunning fashion colors in the 1960s to the world’s first HEPA-certified vacuums in the 1990s. Throughout the century, these award-winning advances have established Miele as the “must-have” status vacuum – hailed as “so smart it could start its own Mensa chapter” and “it’s like the BMW of vacuum cleaners.”
Beyond the frequent accolades, design awards and sleek good looks, Miele continues to focus on making vacuuming easier through patented new technologies like the S7 SwivelNeck™ as well as longer cords, automatic flooring sensors, powerful Vortex Motor Systems™ and silence settings. Miele’s passion for quality and innovation has resulted in a vacuum that excels not only in cleaning performance, but also in the area of filtration. According to recent independent tests, there’s no other vacuum on the planet that removes dust, dirt and allergens as efficiently as a Miele canister or upright. Miele’s unique combination of AirClean™ Filter-bag™, HEPA filter and Sealed System™ design is 99.99+% effective in capturing lung-damaging particles. The key to this design is its hygienic self-closing AirClean™ Filter-bag™ whose revolutionary multi-ply filtering material helps homeowners dispose of the captured particles without coming in contact with them.
