1899

Miele, Gütersloh, Germany

  • Founded in Herzebrock by Carl Miele and Reinhard Zinkann
  • Still family-owned

That’s why we carry Miele: quality vacuums built to last, and we’re here to service them.

Why choose a Miele vacuum cleaner?

Miele vacuums are built to last, filter fine dust and are easy to service. Here’s how, in Miele’s own numbers.

Show what makes a Miele different

Tested for long life

Miele tests Guard models and core parts for 750 hours at different power levels. Miele says that equals 20 years at 37.5 hours a year.

HEPA filtration for allergies

The HEPA AirClean filter catches 99.95% of particles, per Miele. Change it once a year. The bag holds the dust; toss it and it’s gone. Miele HEPA vacuums →

New Guard bags and filters

Guard bags (CO and TU) click and lock in place, so they can’t slip and leak dust, and they seal themselves. Most Miele bag boxes come with fresh filters. Old vs new Miele bags →

Dealer-only Mieles: 5 years

Some Mieles are sold only through authorized retail partners. We carry three: the Guard M1 Terra Red, Guard L1 Electro and Classic C1 Home Care. Miele gives them 5 years instead of 1 to 3. Dealer-only Miele → Dealer-only models from Miele, SEBO and Riccar →

One brush for every floor

The Guard L1 AllFloor head moves from carpet to hardwood without switching. The L1 Electro sets its own suction for each floor and has an LCD display. Guard power settings cover deep-pile and low-pile carpet, per Miele’s manual.

Which Miele vacuum fits your home?

  • Guard M1: everyday bagged canister, 36 ft reach, telescopic suction wand, foot switches for on/off and cord rewind. Our #1 Miele.
  • Guard L1 Electro: electro brush floorhead (SEB 228) for carpet and pet hair.
  • Boost CX1, Blizzard CX1: bagless canister vacuums.
  • Classic C1: our lowest-priced Miele, from $399.
  • Triflex HX3: cordless stick vacuum, 8 lb, HEPA filter, long battery life: up to 70 minutes, 140 with the HX3 Plus.

“I decided not to get another vacuum at a big store like Target, but to go to a specialty store. This led me to Stark’s, where the customer service rep showed me a Miele canister vacuum. The guy knew his vacuums!”

Y C. · Yelp review

★★★★★

“I hope my vacuum lasts another 30 years but if it breaks, I’m buying my next one from Stark’s. Suck it, Amazon!”

Robert L. · Yelp review

★★★★★

“I was getting tired of replacing poorly designed vacuums from big box stores every 2 years after they started making weird noises & stopped doing their job. After (probably too much) online research, I liked what I saw /read about Miele canister vacs.”
