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.

Our bagless vacuum that we've had for several is progressing getting more and more gutless. It just doesn't pick up even small lightweight bits. I grew up with bag vacuums and after some research found this Classic C1 Miele. We have a lot of hardwood floors in this new house and one of the reasons I decided to go with this model is because of those floors. The other was the "pure suction" description. I didn't care for the floorhead it came with. There is a vinyl strip that seems to have contact with the wood floors while vacking. This same head was horrible for our cotton area rug. EVen on the lowest suction and the tile floor setting, it roughed up the cotton and I ended up with a lot of lint. I ordered the Miele SBB 300-3 Twister Parquet Floorhead, spendy, but reviews sounded good, and it was worth it. And I just ordered the (shhh... a non-brand model) Turbo Head cleaner for that cotton rug and the rooms that have standard carpeting. The Parquet sweeps our hardwood and tile floors beautifully and I recommend it. They are cleaner than they've ever been with our old vacuum. The Turbo Head tool arrives tomorrow. It has rave reviews here on Amazon and I anticipate that it will work well. The vacuum itself costs more than any vacuum I have ever owned, and when you add the two additional floorheads it has been an expensive item. But, it is working extremely well (I don't even need the higher suction levels for most of what I do), it is lightweight and easy to move about the house (I'm retired, glad for that ease of movement) and seems quite well made, with high quality plastic than the previous (brand name not disclosed) vac I bought at a chain store. The various tools snap on and off easily. Overall I've spent about $425, but am satisfied with the product I now own, which matches our needs, and anticipate it lasting for years.

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.

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!
