SYDNEY: Miele has released three new vacuums as part of its 2007 floorcare range, including a new concept vacuum, the S4218 BabyCare, designed to meet the hygiene standards required in households with new born babies.

The S4281 BabyCare (RRP $599) is the first Miele vacuum designed specifically to meet the high hygiene requirements demanded by those with new born babies, toddlers and young children.

It features a hospital grade Active HEPA 12 filter and Allergotec floor head, which features ‘traffic light’ indicator to help alert the user as to when an area is hygienically clean.

Designed to blend in with typical nursery colours, baby blue or light pink, the BabyCare also features integrated sound insulation to ensure quiet operation and powerful 2,000-watts power.

Also new to the Miele 2007 floorcare range is the new entry level offerings of the lemon yellow S4211 (RRP $ 349) and the electric blue S4211 Parquet (RRP $449), which both feature a maximum 2,000-watts power and a 3.5 litre capacity, each utilising Miele’s IntensiveClean Plus dustbag technology.

Both models offer an upholstery nozzle, dusting brush and crevice tool, with the S4211 Parquet also featuring the SBB235-3 hard floor brush and a stainless steel S-XXL telescopic wand. The three new vacuums are available at all Miele stockists now.
