Miele vacuums come with a powerful vortex suction motor which is powered up to 1200 watts of convenient power. Thats so much power, that you may not even need that much power, so you can turn it down if necessary. Its like putting a rocket engine in a taxi, you don’t need that much power. But since it picks up everything in 1 go, unlike other vacuums, its definitely something you need in your arsenal. Other vacuum cleaners take 2 or 3 passes to pick everything up.
