Efficiency

Leading principle of the Miele company philosophy: "Our aim is to manufacture and market durable products to the highest quality standards, using economical and ecologically compatible processes which not only demonstrate a high level of performance, efficiency and safety, but also place the least possible burden on the environment."

ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS AND PRODUCT DURABILITY

• All our appliances are the best performers when it comes to saving energy. All of them: Miele is not in the game of packing all its environmental credentials into a single showcase product.
• All Miele appliances are designed to last at least 20 years. That it is better for the environment or household appliances to be long lasting than to have to dispose of two or even three appliances over the same period is obvious. And in this respect, Miele products are clearly the better choice because they are made to a very large extent from metal, which is much easier to recycle. The cast-iron counterweights used by Miele are not only much more resistant in the long-term, but also much kinder to the environment than the concrete blocks used by all other manufacturers.
• Ongoing optimization of production processes minimizes waste, effluents and emissions. There is no superfluous packaging, and the materials used are recyclable. Critical materials such as coatings and solders are reduced to the absolute minimum. Miele uses district heating and has implemented numerous energy-saving programmes in production and administration. Our logistics are designed for maximum efficiency, and all our vehicles are low-emission.

Warranty

1 year on Miele vacuum parts and labor; 7 years on motor and labor

Summary

The Miele S4212 Neptune is recommended for low to medium pile carpet, highly polished floors and area rugs. The turbo brush gently cleans and restores crushed low-medium pile carpet of light density. The deluxe parquet floor brush is easily maneuverable and gently sweeps over highly polished floors brushing particles out of the cracks.
