If you're not a veteran Miele owner, it can be hard to decipher the differences between two very similar yet different models. In this post, we'll give you the low-down on the Miele Twist and Miele Dynamic U1 Cat and Dog so you can decide which vacuum is best for your home.
For starters, both vacuums are well-equipped for cleaning any type of surface area from low-pile carpet to large shaggy rugs. Its powerful electric motor head can be adjusted to vacuum bare floors and pile carpet using the on/off brushroll switch on the ergonomic handle and 4-setting traditional rotary dial located on the face of the upright vacuum cleaner. Together with its powerful two-motor system, you've got a mighty machine capable of commanding any recurring pickup.
So what's the big difference between the two? It's the attachments and type of filtration offered. Every Miele upright comes with the standard Miele SFD10 Extended Crevice Tool, Miele SSP10 Natural Bristle Dusting Brush, and Miele Upholstery Tool. However, only the Miele Dynamic U1 Cat & Dog comes with a 6 1/4 inch Miele STB101 Mini Turbo Brush for fast yet efficient cleaning of pet hairs that stick to couches, beds and other types of furniture. It seamlessly attaches to the end of the telescopic stainless steel wand so you can reach even those tight spaces. This is a completely motorized attachment which means you don't have to worry about not receiving enough power from the motor to tackle your messes.
The Miele Dynamic U1 Cat and Dog also comes with the Miele SF-AA30 Active Air Clean Filter. Guaranteed to remove 99.95% of particles down to 0.5 microns in size, this filter not only rids your home of allergens but also absorbs odors from the filter bag thanks to the activated charcoal layer equipped into its design. Good for an entire year, you can keep vacuuming without needing to constantly worry about whether or not your filter has run its course. Better yet, the Miele SF-AA30 Active Air Clean Filter comes with a time-sensitive indicator strip that takes the guesswork out of this often mundane maintenance task. Like a stop light, green means your good to go while red means you must stop and replace. Our challenger, the Miele Dynamic U1 Twist, only comes equipped with standard AirClean filtration. This means no activated charcoal layer or timestrip indicator. It's effective at removing common allergens, but is not necessarily the best choice for pet owners.
Last, but not least, The Miele Dynamic U1 Cat and Dog comes with an LED light for cleaning dark areas, like underneath beds. This feature is not equipped into the design of the Miele Twist. If you have any further questions or concerns, or for assistance ordering, please dial 1-866-972-8227!
