CARPET CLEANING: The Miele S7580 AutoEco did a Very Good job of removing the embedded mixture of sand and powder from our soiled test carpets. This is a measure of how well a vacuum removes the dirt hidden deep in the carpet, invisible to the eye.
BARE FLOOR: The Miele does a mediocre job of removing sand from our vinyl floor and leaving scattered sand behind.
PET HAIR: This model did a Excellent job at picking up pet hair from carpets using its power head. The visual inspection of the test carpet following the pet-hair test reveals no traces of pet hair left behind, and very little pet hair was caught in the brush roll.
