With the Miele S500 Vacuum Cleaner Series, Miele’s legacy as a world leader in vacuum cleaner design and engineering continues. These vacuums offer great versatility and value for the price.
Perhaps most impressively, the S500 (and S600) series represent the world’s first ever HEPA-certified vacuum cleaners. Installing the optional certified HEPA filter is important, because it is rated to retain 99.9% of all lung-damaging particles 0.3 microns and larger. However, that is only half of the picture.
This "full picture" would include a HEPA filter installed in a sealed environment, one that does not leak air prior to being filtered.
Miele S500 series canister vacuums deliver on both counts. People especially concerned with indoor-air quality will be pleased to know that the S500 / S600 series was tested against one of the world’s most stringent filtration standards, EN 1822.
The results: virtually all particulate matter was contained within these vacuums, earning the S500 / S600 series the world’s first certificate of HEPA certification. It’s like having a HEPA air purifier on wheels!

We have an 18 year old Miele S516. It works great, but the plastic of the power button and cord-retract button has become very brittle. The cord retract button has broken off, and now we can see the plastic is extremely thin! When I tried to move tabs to take the button and dial housing off, the tab broke. Very disappointed in that. Now it’s held together with duct tape. Other than that, the vacuum still works like a charm. Also, it seems replacement parts are no longer available.
