The canister that is sold at Canadian Tire is the S518 (Yellow Star). This model comes standard with the Active HEPA and the SEB217 powerhead. Coincidentally, the S518 is also sold at The Bay...
For the S518 and 514, Miele shipped the old forms to China once the S4 and S5 series began production in Germany. The actual components inside and out except for the plastic casing are made in Germany. The plastic has a cheaper feel to it compared to the old S500's that were totally produced in Germany, though.
Canadian Tire is only the latest Canadian big box store to carry Miele. Keep an eye out as another MAJOR retailer here is to be carrying models soon...
