It's no secret that Miele and Electrolux have great reputations. Both brands manufacture high-quality canisters designed for cleaning bare floor surfaces and pile carpeting, but which one has an edge? Well, you'll have to read on to find out.
1. Miele's German Engineering
While all vacuum cleaners are made somewhere, Miele vacuums are manufactured in Germany, known for producing the best quality products in the world.. While both brands create vacuums with solid construction, German engineers are known for being very smart and crafty with their designs. Electrolux, on the other hand, designs their vacuums in Sweden.
2. Electrolux's Bagless Vacuums
Between the two brands, Electrolux is the only one that manufactures bagless canister vacuums. A bagless vacuum can be a very cost-effective option for those who do not want to spend money buying bags. All of Miele's vacuums are bagged systems and the price for the bags can get pretty expensive. On the other hand, a bagged vacuum keeps dirt and debris securely trapped inside which will improve indoor air quality in the long run. At the end of the day, there are benefits and drawbacks to both bagged and bagless designs, and you'll have to decide what works best for your situation.
3. Miele's Large Capacity Vacuum Bags
All bags are not created equal. This is especially true when we compare the bag capacity of Miele vs Electrolux. Miele bags are larger by at least a quart no matter if you purchase an upright or canister. The full breakdown can be found in our handy comparison chart below:
| Bag Capacity: Miele vs Electrolux | |
|
Miele FJM Bags - 3.76 quarts |
Electrolux S Bags - 2.5 quarts |
| Miele GN Bags - 4.76 quarts | |
| Miele U Bags - 5.45 quarts | |
4. Electrolux's 3-in-1 Vacuum Attachment
The 3-in-1 Vacuum Attachment that comes standard with the Electrolux
EL7080ACL Canister Vacuum acts as a dusting brush, upholstery tool and crevice tool within one compact body. This is a unique design that cannot be found in any other brand, Miele or otherwise. This cuts down on time needed to vacuum and makes storage all the easier.
5. Miele's Six Levels of Suction Control
Some Miele vacuums offer digital suction control while others operate via a traditional rotary dial. Regardless of the configuration, Miele vacuums offer six levels of suction control as opposed to five levels offered by Electrolux. So who's the winner? Well, it was a close race but nothing can beat the German-engineering and two motor system of Miele.
