Even the lowly canister vacuum now wants access to your Wi-Fi network

Summary
Miele has released its first smart canister vacuum, the Guard L1 Electro, which is equipped with a built-in LCD touchscreen, for $1,499, making it the company’s most expensive model.
The guard connects to Miele’s mobile app, giving users access to important status messages, including alerts for when the filter or vacuum bag need replacing.
Through the app, users can also order replacement bags and filters.
Although Miele offers over 20 different canister vac models in the US, the new launch is the first to feature smart functionality.
Cordless stick vacuums are more convenient, but canister vacuums are still used due to their lighter weight, and Miele’s launch is expected to be welcomed by those who experience “battery anxiety”.
