Transforming Miele S7 Vacuum Cleaner Can Probably Fly Too

Jesus Diaz — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 18:00:00 +0000

I usually don’t get excited about home appliances unless you can cook with them or they vibrate, but this Miele S7’s video has actually amazed me. Not only because it looks like it came from outer space thanks to the front LEDs, sensors, and LCD screen, but because of its smart design, which allows it to twist in every direction–to the point of laying flat–and transform with all kinds of built-in contraptions.

The Miele S7 has LED lights to illuminate every place it can reach while you suck pizza crumbles, Lego pieces, and dead spiders thanks to a 1,800-watt engine, built-in sensors that adjust speed and height depending on the surface, and a six-litre vacuum bag. As you can see in the video, every place really means every place: The S7 has a twisting head design that allows it to turn into every direction possible, including laying down on the floor, completely flat.

Unlike other vacuum cleaners, this one comes with all the different accessories to clean special surfaces built in its own body. No need to go to the closet to get them. Available in five different models, going from $US370 to $US551. [Miele via T3]

Miele’s New Giant Fridge Can Double as a Morgue

I don’t know if these fridges are the norm in the US, but it seems to me like Miele’s latest giganormous fridge from their Master Cool line–shown here at IFA 2008–has to be the biggest fridge ever available to megalomaniac consumers and potential serial killers. They should christen it The Walk-In Fridge, because this thing is so big that you can fit a cow inside. So huge in fact that I won’t be able to put it in my apartment’s living room. Actually, I think can put my entire living room and bedroom inside during the summer months. [More IFA 2008 Coverage]

Miele designs Modular Kitchen Concept for Offices

Designed by Simon Kingston and James Rennick for German appliance Ã¼ber-maestros Miele, this modular kitchen is perfect for those long hours we Giz worker ants have been putting in this week as we bring you all the iPhone coverage* as fast as our sweaty little paws can type.

With spaces for either Miele gear or seating (I guess it depends just how lazy/minimalist you are) I think that if this concept gets the green light, it may soon be finding its way into many a minuscule NY apartment.
