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

Hope I get picked , it would be perfect.

alialiath · 04/04/2014 16:26

As an asthmatic I'd love the chance to try out the Miele S8 Silence Plus EcoLine Allergy in the hope that there's finally a hoover on the market that tackles dust and pollen efficiently.

calypsoblue · 04/04/2014 16:59

Dog hair ,egg and pollen allergy and a busy chaotic household would love to try one out :-)

Ohwhatfuckeryisthis · 05/04/2014 08:10

I would love it, with three asthmatics, one eczema sufferer and two cats. Also my ds 'lent' my vacuum to a mate who has fucked off with it and my ancient Dyson can't handle anything.

ldt87 · 05/04/2014 18:36

Done, would love to try this. Have heard good things about miele.

AuntyDiluvian · 05/04/2014 19:48

Oh, man. I really want this to treat my carpets to a better clean than they get from a gentle nuzzling from our current dreadful Hoover Alyx. I hate hoovering, it makes me sneeze & wheeze with a dust allergy & asthma, and have a crawling baby which means I need to do it all the time!

Blatherskite · 05/04/2014 22:24

I would love to do this! Hayfever season starts earlier and earlier every year and my HEPA Dyson is absolute rubbish. Please save us from a Summer or sore eyes and sleepless nights!

VilootShesCute · 05/04/2014 22:57

Hopefully would help my little ones through the coming months. Not looking forward to the massive dog shedding in summer...

Trebla · 05/04/2014 23:02

Im in. Husband has asthma and boys ( 3 and 1) have dust allergies. We already have a Miele for this reason but would love to test out the newer model. We have wooden and carpeted floors and two cats. Cheers Emma

ddrmum · 06/04/2014 22:32

Would love to trial one of these. Have 3 darling children with both wooden and carpeted floors yet there are itchy eyes and sneezes already :( Doesn't help that I've just blown up my vacuum cleaner this weekend....................!!!!

krisskross · 06/04/2014 22:39

We'd love it too.....both children have asthma and eczema and anything that could help minimise their symptoms would be a revelation. Please pick me!!

BarmyBeth · 06/04/2014 23:20

This would be fantastic. With 5 kids to run after it would be great to have a decent hoover, that is quiet so I can use when they are in bed. Dd has eczema, asthma and allergies so this would help her too. fingers crossed

wifeymerrick · 07/04/2014 08:48

please consider me I keep borrowing my mum's

Heathcliff27 · 07/04/2014 11:29

idleweiss · 07/04/2014 12:03

Eek!! Have everything crossed soooooo need an amazing vacuum of my own.. Have nearly destroyed the one I've borrowed already, the amount of dust and crap I have to hoover up on a regular basis!! :o

SagaNorensLeatherTrousers · 07/04/2014 15:50

Only 10 reviewers needed so very unlikely I'll be picked but good luck all!

PigeonStreet · 07/04/2014 16:50

I have everything crossed that we get to try one. hopefully the carpets, rugs and air in the PigeonStreet household will be very grateful, as would our eyes and nosesGrin Grin Grin

Heathcliff27 · 08/04/2014 09:09
