General information

The Miele S 8340 EcoLine floor vacuum cleaner has a powerful 1200 watt motor. However, this engine also significantly increases the weight of the S 8340 EcoLine floor vacuum cleaner. Thus, this sucker brings it to a total weight of approximately 7kg, which is in its class nevertheless considerable. The general dimensions are 59 cm × 37.8 cm × 32 cm. Thus the machine is not necessarily small, but by far not the largest. It is in a very good mediocre, which is positive. The average electricity consumption is 43.9 kilowatt hours per year. This means that the Miele S 8340 EcoLine floor vacuum cleaner reaches only the lower average. Its energy efficiency is therefore only in class D. This is not convincing.  

Suction power and application areas

The application areas of the Miele S 8340 EcoLine floor vacuum cleaners range from carpet cleaning to the cleaning of hard floors. The machine can be used optimally in almost any area and can be fed into the respective floor with its supplied accessories. Nevertheless, the suction power despite a 1200 Watt engine, is only average.When cleaning the carpet, the Miele S 8340 EcoLine vacuum cleaner cuts with class C, on a scale from A to G.This is not necessarily bad, but goes much better. When cleaning hard floors, the vacuum cleaner comes as a result of class B. As yet the cleaning looks a lot better and therefore he gets a notch. When viewed in overalls does have to say that the Miele S 8340 EcoLine scored canister vacuum for suction it can bring, not particularly good results. Other machines can also only use such a suction power, but have the much lower power consumption through a much smaller machine. The pensum could have been much better.  

Price-performance ratio

The price / performance ratio of the Miele S 8340 EcoLine vacuum cleaner is medium. Due to his not so great results he achieved with suction, in comparison to the right high purchase price, can not be given a better evaluation. Although the Miele S 8340 EcoLine floor vacuum cleaner in no area is only sufficient or even bad, but justified but not the price. Here one could have expected a clear price reduction or the improvement of the suction results.  

Energy consumption and emission class

Due to its large and powerful engine, the energy consumption is somewhat higher than with other machines. The 1200 watt motor would like to be operated. This also has a negative effect on its energy efficiency class. This is only in the class D with a scale from A to G. This is only average and by no means a measure for this manufacturer. The emission class, on the other hand, is in class B, on a scale from A to G, and is thus in a good range. This can be positively assessed here. However, one would have seen this result in the energy class.  

Use and operation

The Miele S 8340 EcoLine floor vacuum cleaner can be used in nearly all areas and achieves at least average results. What is surprisingly positive is the fact that the 1200 watt motor is quite quiet. With a measured 75 dB it is a lot quieter than many other motors. This is very positive and speaks very clearly for the Miele S 8340 EcoLine floor vacuum cleaner.
