Those two additional features paired with the S7's powerful suction, maneuverability and unmatched filtration performance, makes the Miele S7260 Cat & Dog the perfect fit for every pet owner. Not to mention, its ultra quiet operation will be better tolerated by your furry friends.
Features of Miele S7260 Cat & Dog Upright Vacuum Cleaners
Cat & Dog Package Includes:
Active Air Clean Filter this filter combines the Super Air Clean filter with an active charcoal cassette which absorbs odors from the dust bag and traps pet hair, dander and dirt. Retains 99.95% of particles down to 0.5 of a micron.
Mini Turbobrush 5 ¼" wide brush roll powered by the air movement of the vacuum cleaner has adjustable port design and 120° swivel neck for excellent maneuverability. Ideal for vacuuming pet hair from stairs, upholstery and car interiors.
Swivel Neck™: Miele's innovated Swivel Neck design allows steering in all directions and can be laid flat to the floor for getting under beds and furniture
Park Position: when in park the S7's rear wheels are on the ground and make it easy to roll the vacuum from one location to the next. The foot switch disengages the rear wheels and they are retracted into the body of the vacuum enhancing overall maneuverability without exertion on the user.
360° Swivel Casters: located on powerhead, improve mobility, are smooth running and rubber coated to protect hard surfaces like tile and wood flooring
Maximum Agility: thanks to Miele's superior engineering, the S7's are very easy to maneuver in every direction without putting stress or weight on the user. When the vacuum is reclined, the majority of weight is carried by the base powerhead assembly making it easy to hold and remarkably easy to push.
All Floor Surfaces: moving from carpet to hard floors is not a problem, with the self adjusting powerhead and spring loaded brush roll that can be turned on/off using the fingertip controls.
Rotary Dial Suction Adjustment: allows for a variety of suction settings to accommodate the surface being cleaned. The dial is labeled with suggested settings for curtains, deep pile, low pile and smooth surfaces.
Innovative Adjustment: the S7's powerhead features a flexible, spring loaded brush roller that adapts to different carpet heights and floor coverings requiring no manual intervention. The automatic height adjustment works by following the contour of the floor, reaching dust particles found in the depths of deep pile carpeting while the powerhead always maintains optimal surface contact allowing consistent air flow.
Powerful Two Motor Performance: the S7's are equipped with a strong 1,200 watt Miele-made Vortex Motor System™ that guarantees optimal airflow for excellent suction power and very quiet operation. The brush roller is powered by its own 4,800 rpm motor for strong agitation. The separate brush roller motor allows it to be turned on or off to allow seamless transitions from carpets, rugs and bare floorings.
Bright LED Headlight: 8 LED lights brightly illuminate your cleaning path so you can see into every nook and cranny and find those dust bunnies.
12 ft. Extended Reach Hose: is attached to a lightweight stainless steel 2-piece telescopic suction wand, ideal for cleaning an entire staircase, upholstery, furniture and other hard to reach places.
Anti-tip Feature: the device that attaches the hose to the vacuum cleaner rotates outward and locks into place for increased leverage, preventing the vacuum from tipping over when using the suction hose.
3 Integrated Accessory Tools: the upholstery nozzle, 12" crevice tool, and dusting brush with natural bristles are neatly stored on the back of the vacuum and are always ready for use. The tools can be attached to the vacuum's hose handle or attached to the end of the telescopic suction wand.
Large Cleaning Radius: the 40 ft. long cord together with the 12 ft. flexible suction hose and telescopic wand give the S7's a 55 ft. operating radius.
Sealed AirClean Filtration System: is a combination of 3 things, 1) use of the very best raw materials available, 2) revolutionary electrostatically charged 9-layer AirClean™ filtering dust bag with spring-loaded self sealing bag closure, and 3) the selection of high quality filters (Includes Active Air Clean filter for superior odor control. Upgrade to Active HEPA filter for superior particle removal)
Sealed System Construction: The S7 Cat & Dog is an air-tight sealed system that retains 99.99% of particles at 0.3 micron when used with HEPA filter, 94% of particles at 0.3 micron when used with Active Air Clean filter (results from independent testing at IBR laboratories)
Legendary Quality and Durability: Miele has been producing floor care products renown for their quality and durability for over 80 years and have very strict quality control levels that adhere to a 110 year pledge of "Forever Better". Each S7 vacuum cleaner is crafted with care, concentration, and respectful attention to details.

We have been waiting for Miele to come out with an upright that compares to their canisters and they finally have. It seems they analyzed everything a person would want in an upright vacuum and included it in their design. Their latest addition is the S7260 Cat & Dog model, which is the pet owner’s version of the Miele S7 upright vacuum cleaners. They have included the same quality and design and have added a handheld turbo brush to remove pet hair. They also replaced the HEPA filter with a Super Air Clean filter that includes active charcoal to remove pet odors.
Pluses:
Odor Absorbing Filter: this vacuum come standard with the Active Air Clean filter, a charcoal filter to absorb pet odors while retaining pet hair, dander and other fine particles to keep indoor air fresh and clean.
Easy Pet Hair Removal: the handheld turbo brush is an ideal accessory for pet owners providing an easy way to remove pet hair from furniture, stairs and car interiors
4-Stage Suction and Automatic Height Adjustment: makes it possible to clean every floor surface from tile or hardwood floors to shag or delicate natural fiber rugs and carpet.
Ultra maneuverability: the new Swivel Neck design paired with other thoughtful improvements to the upright vacuum design enhance the overall maneuverability allowing the vacuum to glide over, around, and under just about anything, all while requiring little exertion from the operator.
Equipped for all floor types: the 12" spring loaded brush roll adjusts to clean all types of carpets and rugs, and the ability to turn off the brush roller allows the vacuum to safely clean delicate hard floor surfaces and coverings.
Easy above floor cleaning: 12 foot extended hose, telescopic stainless steel wand, and the extra long 40 foot power cord gives you a 55 foot cleaning radius which lets you easily clean stairs, furniture, curtains and ceiling corners.
No worries of tipping: the anti-tip feature keeps the vacuum from falling over while you move around cleaning with the wand.
Dirt Finding Headlights: the bright LED headlights are great for illuminating dark corners and under furniture.
Extra large capacity vacuum bags: hold a lot of dirt so you do not have to change the bag frequently and a handy indicator lets you know when its full so you can get maximum use out of each bag.
Minuses:
The S7260 does not come standard with an active HEPA filter. Allergy sufferers can purchase the Active HEPA filter for stronger filtration of small particles.
Does not have the automatic setting, electronic suction controls and filter change indicator found on the top-of-the-line S7580's.
Like most upright vacuums, the S7260 is a bit heavy to carry weighting in at 22 lbs.
Summary:
I used the S7260 Cat & Dog in my home and was impressed at how easy it was to adjust the suction settings as needed as I moved from bare floors to different area rugs and wall to wall carpeting. We missed the automatic setting that is on the S7580 Tango model that eliminates the need to adjust the suction settings as you changes cleaning surfaces. I was impressed by the way it revived the carpet in high traffic areas of my home. Like most upright vacuums, it was a bit heavy to lug upstairs. The 12 foot extended hose with the anti-tip feature is unbelievable as it allows you to stretch the hose as far as you’d like and there was no need to worry about the vacuum falling over. The telescopic stainless steel wand made it easy to reach the cobwebs at the ceiling and remove the dust from the top of the molding along the floor. We would have liked it if the end of the steel wand had some rubber or plastic on it to prevent scratching the floor or the paint on the walls. Of course, the on board crevice tool or dusting brush could be attached to eliminate this issue, but I am an impatient cleaner who likes to do my non-floor cleaning on the fly. Although heavy, the swivel neck and weight distribution in the design allows it to flow along the cleaning surface effortlessly and change direction at will. I was amazed when I needed to get under a bureau and the Miele lowered to the floor to allow me to clean the area. In conclusion, Miele has successfully designed an upright vacuum that is easy to use and does an incredible job at cleaning. They thought of everything when making this vacuum from the anti-tip feature and fingertip controls to the swivel neck design and spring loaded brush roll. With the addition of the S7260 Cat & Dog model they have made an ideal upright to address pet owners issues including pet odors and hair!
