Miele Classic C1 Pure Suction Bagged Canister Vacuum, Graphite Grey - Portable, Household

I like to submit reviews after I've used a product for a while -- we live in world where so many things are built to break, and when you're paying this much for a vacuum, you want to know it will stand the test of time. First, this is the stripped-down version, but the sucking power is tremendous -- enough that it easily takes care of our hardwood floors, but also works for our heavy rugs, even a large "shag" rug. Lesser vacuums will use spinning rollers to move carpet fibers around, but I'm pretty sure that equal or superior cleaning can be accomplished just with the massive suction power of this vacuum. We love that it's also light and quiet. The simple attachments are well thought-out -- you can easily shorten or lengthen the working end, and the brush attachment is GREAT for cleaning window screens. After three years, the cord is still retracting like the day we bought it, and the suction is just as strong. Note that this is an investment, and to keep it healthy you probably want to go with miele brand bags made especially for this vacuum. They're pricey, and if you're plastic conscious, they have a plastic attachment on each bag. But the way they filter the air (along with the other filters in the vacuum) means that super-clean air emerges from the top of the vacuum. That's another plus, by the way -- the external air vent is on top of the vacuum. We've had other vacuums where it vents out the back, often blowing dust and dirt around. But straight up means that that doesn't happen. I'm trying to think of some cons, but after trying so many other lesser vacuums in the past and having so many break (cord not retracting, power button malfunctioning, etc.), we're just so happy with our "princess miele". A final note is that the three years of service from this vacuum haven't been gentle years -- we've gone through two moves, and loaned it repeatedly to a neighbor who didn't have a vacuum. It's been used pretty hard. As for me, I'd rather spend more on a product that not only works great, but stands the test of time. Ends up being cheaper on the wallet and easier on the landfills to not have to buy vacuums repeatedly (which is what we did before this -- once we bought two in one year!) If you're looking for an easy-to-use vacuum that kicks butt and keeps going strong, this is your baby.

I have hardwood and linoleum flooring. On my first day of using it, I would give it 10 stars if I could. My wife has been wanting to clean all our baseboards due to dust buildup on the baseboard top. Using the brush attachment I was able to clean all the baseboards in our bedroom behind our bed with one pass of the vacuum. Impressive Suction! Be sure to buy the Twister hard floor head (extra) for hardwood floors. It's more effective than the included combination rug/hardwood floor head. Nice bristles keep it off the floor to pick up larger stuff and is gentle on the hardwood flooring. It has a much lower profile than the included combo head. I can even vacuum the floor under door stops. It also swivels to allow you to get around tight spaces (like a toilet) easily. I don't have enough time to remark on durability directly, but the plastic used seems to be very sturdy. Good quality materials and design. It has incredible suction, the best I've experienced on a vacuum. It is surprisingly quiet for a vacuum. I've not noticed any issue with cord length. You do have to move the plug to the room you will be vacuuming. UPDATE: After using this for 3 weeks. I LOVE this vac. As a man, it is one of the best tools I've used. The sucking sound from the Twister head is louder than the vacuum motor. Although the Twister head has bristles that elevate the head about 1/2" off the floor, you notice the suction force to the floor when you pick it up off the floor. Yet it glides effortlessly on the floor while vacuuming. I have not used their multiple use head so I don't know how easy this is to use on carpets or rugs.

So I hate vacuums these days. Spending $300 on vacuumes that last one year and then have a horrible or their motors give off a burnt smell. I hated the bag less versions because of my allergies and strong sense of smell.. This time I spend about a month researching different vacuums trying to find the one that best eliminates fleas. And my cats got fleas this year and I had to go through the horrible ten step process of getting them evicted. Emptying the bag less vacuums I had grossed me out so I decided, though setting aside politics and history, I decided to buy a German designed product because quality is hard to argue with and the vacuums is worth every penny. This C2 grey Miele has no moving parts to break. My teenage daughter actually uses it too because it’s light weight and sleek design. The suction is AMAZING! After three months of extensive vacuuming and laundry I have no fleas in the house and I only had to change the bag once and didn’t sneeze. The dirt stays contained in the bag. I bought the grey midrange model but wished I could buy the white one or red one because I love those colors more but they were above my budget. Did I mention that I also have birds and their feathers and seeds get everywhere. Also the cats kitty litter also clogged up the bag less vacuum filters. The Miele handles everything and I do t have to touch the dirt.

I was reluctant to buy this vacuum because of the price but I wanted something light I could carry up the stairs. I’m glad I decided to go for it, this vacuum is light and has great power much better than a Shark I had. Three attachments that are easy to use. It’s has a bag that you have to change but that’s easy to do. I know some people prefer bag less. All in all a very good vacuum

This vacuum is lightweight and has great suction. It's a little awkward to have the attachments on the outside.

Esta aspiradora es la segunda que tengo de la misma marca, la primera me duró más de diez años. Esta tiene mejor succión. La recomiendo ampliamente.

So far seems to be a great choice. Very light and easy to move around. Also quiet! Would recommend!
