Miele still <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mieleusa.com\/category\/1016468\/canister-vacuum-cleaners\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">offers over 20 different models of canister vacs<\/a> in the US, but its latest is the company\u2019s first to introduce smart functionality making it yet another appliance that wants access to your home\u2019s Wi-Fi network.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The Miele Guard L1 Electro is available now for $1,499 making it the most expensive model in the company\u2019s L1 lineup and considerably pricier than even the $380 canister vacuum that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dyson.com\/vacuum-cleaners\/canisters\/big-ball\/turbinehead-yellow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dyson still sells<\/a>. That seems like a lot for a vacuum that still has a power cord, but the Electro does offer additional functionality including a built-in LCD touchscreen for changing the vacuum\u2019s cleaning mode. The screen also displays status messages letting you know when the filter or vacuum bag needs replacing, or if a clog is detected.<\/p>\n<div class=\"image-slider\">\n<div class=\"image-slider\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.theverge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/08\/miele2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;crop=0,0,100,100\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"&lt;em&gt;The LCD touchscreen on the vacuum\u2019s canister can be used to change cleaning modes, adjust suction power, and monitor status messages.&lt;\/em&gt; | Image: Miele\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Miele\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.theverge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/08\/miele4.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;crop=0.019999999999996,0,99.96,100\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"&lt;em&gt;When connected to Miele\u2019s mobile app over Wi-Fi, you\u2019ll get notifications on your smartphone when the Electro is clogged or needs a new bag.&lt;\/em&gt; | Image: Miele\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Miele\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.theverge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/08\/miele3.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;crop=0,0.0099980003999178,100,99.9800039992\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"&lt;em&gt;You can even order replacement vacuum bags and filters directly from Miele\u2019s mobile app.&lt;\/em&gt; | Image: Miele\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Miele\" \/>\n\t<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The Electro connects to Miele\u2019s mobile app over Wi-Fi giving you another option for staying on top of those important status messages.
