Miele are looking for 10 Mumsnetters with allergies to test out either their S8 Silence Plus EcoLine Allergy, or the S8 Silence Solution vacuum cleaners.

Here’s what Miele say, “Build quality and efficiency have always been at the forefront of our vacuum cleaner design, with improving your lifestyle at home as our goal. Our Hyclean dustbags are an important functionality of the Miele vacuum cleaner being the most effective way of keeping dust and dirt from re-entering your home. Each bag is made from a special kind of fleece that gives you nine layers of filtration designed to capture even the smallest of particles and its automatic hygiene shutter ensuring dust and bacteria is not expelled back into the air when you dispose of it, making it perfect for allergy sufferers.

Built with allergy sufferers in mind, the S8 Silence Solution and the S8 Silence Plus EcoLine Allergy detailed in this thread both feature our new HEPA 13 filter designed to remove up to 99.999% of particles* from the air making them perfect for all allergy sufferers including dust, pollen and asthma.

With all of these key features combined, the Miele vacuum cleaner system facilitates the capture of the smallest allergens that are not visible to the naked eye, such as bed bugs, dust mite and dust mite faeces that typically cause irritation.

(*according to IEC 60312)”

Those selected will be sent either a Miele S8 Silence Plus EcoLine Allergy (RRP £300.00) or a Miele S8 Silence Solution (RRP £240.00).

This product test is open to all UK Mumsnetters who have either pet and/or dust pollen allergies. Testers will need to test out the Miele vacuum cleaners and give feedback over the next couple of weeks so please only apply to take part if you’re available over this time.

If you’re interested in taking part please sign up here.

Thanks and good luck,

MNHQ

As with previous posters, our family has asthma and dust/pollen allergies for which using the Dyson doesn't seem to be helping with. Would love to try this.

LackaDAISYcal · 01/04/2014 14:01

ooh, yes please. Our dyson is on it's last legs and we are super skint so can't afford another decent vacuum cleaner.

And we have hay fever/asthma/pet hair/dust mite allergies abound!

SquirtedPerfumeUpNoseInBoots · 01/04/2014 14:04

Done.

RustyParker · 01/04/2014 14:11

Completed application

haydoe · 01/04/2014 14:23

I would LOVE to try this. All 3 of my boys and my husband suffer from allergies and the MIL has damaged lungs from working in a maternity unit so we HAVE to be dust free!

TeamSwitzerland · 01/04/2014 14:48

Done xSmile

Titsalinabumsquash · 01/04/2014 15:01

Excellent! I have applied. Keeping the house as clean I have to for the many respiratory health problems with have in the house I'm also ways looking for something to make it easier!

Now if only I could test an amazing air filter :D

momscribe · 01/04/2014 15:54

Yes please...done and hopefully waiting to be selected

Badvoc · 01/04/2014 16:00

Done!

BobaFetaCheese · 01/04/2014 16:21

Done. If it's better than a Dyson Animal I'll marry it.

sassolino · 01/04/2014 16:26

Applied, as I have huge sinus problems. Our current hoover doesn't help much with dust mites

CakeExpectations · 01/04/2014 16:37

Done diddly done

madhairday · 01/04/2014 17:13

Done. with three of our family suffering with significant allergies I would love to see if this could make a difference to us.

Millipedewithherfeetup · 01/04/2014 17:17

Done and marking place. Good luck one and all.

Mogz · 01/04/2014 17:28

Would love something like this!

Pjran · 01/04/2014 17:49

I need a new vacuum and suffer dust mite and paper allergies. My current vacuum is a very old broken Dyson and would love the opportunity to have a clean dust free home again.

HappyCria · 01/04/2014 18:33

Done and fingers crossed

Marcelinewhyareyousomean · 01/04/2014 18:38

I use a Dyson and Hoover and neither do the job 100%. I can't afford to try a third brand when they both work but I'd really like to see what all the Miele fuss is about. I've heard really good things.

MaccaPaccaismyNemesis · 01/04/2014 19:42

Done, and hoping very much I get chosen sneezes

Trelou · 01/04/2014 20:05

Oh yes please I would gladly test and review this as family have a lot of problems with different allergies

Lagoonablue · 01/04/2014 21:30

Done

Mandown · 01/04/2014 21:45

Yes please! Looks like our poor little 17 week old has inherited daddy's allergies :-(

maximum4 · 01/04/2014 22:51

All signed up and ready to roll - pesky allergens we will defeat you ;)

Heathcliff27 · 02/04/2014 00:11

Yes please Wine

sesw · 02/04/2014 05:47

We are big on allergen avoidance in this house but our present vacuum cleaner is just not cutting the mustard so want to try out new ones specifically designed for allergens!
