Miele’s Libra vacuum utilizes a canister design with a few trademark touches that have made the manufacturer so popular. High on that list is a durable German design and quality construction intended to give the Libra a long life span. Even though Miele products tend to cost more than economical brands, they often provide consumers with many years (sometimes more than a decade) of use.
The Libra canister vacuum includes a sealed system that prevents dirt and debris from escaping during use and storage. This also keeps the dirt from finding its way back out into the home again, which is a big plus for allergy sufferers. On board storage is very important to some consumers, and Miele offers it with the Libra. The three integrated tools included can be stored right on the vacuum. This eliminates the need for extra storage or the chances of a lost piece later on, which is a big plus.
The Miele Libra canister vacuum is also equipped with a powerful 1,200 watt Vortex motor that is a popular component in many of the company’s products. The Vortex system is known for being strong, durable and capable of significant suction. Additional features include a safety overheating shut off, dust bag change indicator, and ergonomic handle.
