Miele Cat & Dog Vacuum Cleaner: 2011 Housewares Design Award Winner

The Miele Cat & Dog vacuum cleaner earned the prestigious 2011 Housewares Design Award in the Floor Care Electrics category, recognizing its exceptional performance and innovative features for pet owners and allergy sufferers.

Why Miele’s Cat & Dog Vacuum Stands Out

This award-winning Miele vacuum cleaner outperformed competitors from Bissell, Electrolux, and other leading brands with its specialized pet-focused design and advanced filtration system. The recognition highlights Miele’s commitment to creating superior cleaning solutions for households with pets.

Premium Features for Pet Owners

Designed specifically for homes with pets, the Miele Cat & Dog vacuum combines powerful cleaning performance with specialized accessories that tackle pet hair and odors effectively.

Advanced Filtration System

The integrated Activated Charcoal filter actively adsorbs pet odors while trapping 99.5% of particles as small as 0.5 microns. For enhanced allergen protection, the vacuum can be upgraded with a Miele HEPA filter at any time.

Specialized Cleaning Tools

Included with the vacuum is the STB 101 handheld turbobrush, perfect for removing stubborn pet hair from upholstery, stairs, and hard-to-reach areas. The sealed system construction ensures dust and allergens remain contained during use.

Key Features That Earned the Design Award

• Swivel-Neck Design: Provides exceptional maneuverability around furniture and tight corners
• Active AirClean Filter: Eliminates pet odors while capturing microscopic particles
• Sealed System: Maintains indoor air quality by keeping all dust and allergens contained
• Ergonomic Handle: Reduces wrist strain during extended cleaning sessions
• 55-Foot Operating Radius: Cleans entire rooms without changing outlets
• 6-Inch Low Profile: Accesses tight spaces under furniture with ease
• 9-Stage Filtration Dust Bags: Prevents punctures and enables dust-free disposal
• Quiet Operation: Noise-reducing insulation makes it one of the quietest vacuums available

Superior Performance for Allergy Sufferers

The Miele Cat & Dog vacuum’s combination of sealed construction, advanced filtration, and specialized tools makes it an ideal choice for households dealing with pet allergies. The vacuum effectively removes pet dander, hair, and other allergens from floors, drapes, furniture, and shelves.

This design award recognition confirms that Miele has created a vacuum cleaner that not only performs exceptionally but also addresses the specific needs of pet owners and allergy sufferers with thoughtful, innovative design solutions.
