Cordless stick vacuums offer great convenience, but many consumers still prefer canister vacuums for their lightweight design and lack of battery concerns. Miele continues to produce over 20 canister vacuum models in the United States, with its latest offering incorporating smart features that connect to home Wi-Fi networks, marking a significant step into the realm of smart appliances.
The Miele Guard L1 Electro is now available for a price of $1,499, making it the top-tier model within Miele’s L1 series and a considerable leap in cost compared to Dyson’s $380 canister vacuum. At a glance, the price may seem steep for a vacuum that still requires a power cord; however, the Electro boasts advanced features, including a built-in LCD touchscreen that allows users to switch cleaning modes. Furthermore, the screen informs users when the vacuum bag or filter needs to be replaced and alerts them to any clogs.
This new model integrates with Miele’s dedicated mobile app through its Wi-Fi connection, allowing users to receive real-time notifications about the vacuum’s condition. If it’s time for replacements of bags or filters, users can also conveniently order these supplies directly through the app.
