Miele Classic C1 Turbo Team Bagged Canister Vacuum, Tech Blue - Portable, Household

Im a simple man and I appreciate quality. This thing is dripping with quality. Not interested in Dyson because I dont like overpaying for something that looks futuristic but actually isnt. I would rather go for a company that is less widely popular, but has made quality products in the industry for many years. Miele fit this bill and I have no regrets spending the money on it. Ive tried cordless vacuums and cheaper vacuums. Cordless vacuums simply dont do a good enough job to justify having one around. Youre basically leaving 40% of debris behind on whatever youre trying to clean. For the sake of not having a cord. Yuck. Thats not my style at all. When I clean, I want the thing clean. Spent $150 on a cordless which I regret. Ive tried cheaper corded vacuums and although the suction power is decent they all lack something which make them feel like a complete cleaning solution. I should have just foregone all those and bought a Miele right off the bat. Heres why it is amazing and a 5/5 overall: - Suction power is amazing. 1200W motor so there you go. It doesnt play around and it doesnt sound obnoxious either. - The bag system is much preferred. Im so over dumping debris in a garbage can and trying to dodge a cloud of dust. Just take the bag and throw it away. I dont mind paying a little more over a lifetime of use and never having to worry about breathing in all the crap the vacuum just sucked up ever again. - Filtration system is genius. The air feels so clean after vacuuming there you would think you are in a different environment after. - The vacuum is simple yet Im able to clean the whole house effectively with it. A simple swap of the tool head and I can reach all corners of the ceiling. Cobwebs, spider webs, dust, all gone. The wheels keep it maneuverable and allow it to swivel easily. It has a button to retract the cord so you dont have to wind it up after like most vacuums in the $200 range. Not the longest cord ever but its fine and feels sturdy. - Once you are done with it, the vacuum slides into place to become one piece, and tucks into your closet, taking up minimal space. How considerate. Great buy and Im very happy because my living space is fresh and clean!

We have been wanting to invest in a good vacuum, and it was finally time for us. We looked at so many reviews of vacuums! Reddit was the most helpful with a thread from a lifelong vacuum repair and sales guy. His two cents was that a bag vacuum will always outperform and outlast a canister vacuum. We had gone through a Hoover, Shark, a cordless Dyson and the Dyson made for animals (we have two dogs)...cant believe how much money weve spent on Dyson - absolute garbage, basically disposable. This Miele is instantly and obviously SO MUCH BETTER. The suction is amazing; we were thinking about purchasing the much more expensive dog and cat version of the Miele, but I honestly think this model is perfect. Our house is pretty small and mostly hardwood - if you have lots of carpet and animals you might be better off with the more expensive model. We did make sure to get the model made in Germany, not in China. The materials, parts, and construction are clearly higher quality than what weve been using. Weve only had it a few weeks, so time will tell, but I presume this will be the last vacuum we buy for a decade or two, and that is how I love my appliances! I highly recommend this vacuum and the distributor/company selling through Amazon was excellent.

Believe the reccomend vacuum per living space recommendations. I bought the vacuum thinking it would be fine for an 1800 sq ft house that is mostly carpeted. It works great but unfortunately I have to change the bag every time I vacuum the house. I have two non shedding small dogs, two shedding women (hair) and old carpet old carpet which seems to be too much. This is not a complaint on the vacuum, just an opinion on what it can handle. I would definitely recommend buying a unit with a powered beater bar (brush) for any size carpeted area.

I have a cleaning business and I tried many different vacuum cleaners. Miele never let me down.I’m a domestic organizer by profession and I decided to invest in a quality vacuum for my business. I researched a lot and never paid so much for a vacuum, but I would say it’s totally worth it! Not only will it save time with my work, but I recently moved to a very old house with carpets and I have a 1 year old so vacuuming the floor is extremely necessary. But most vacuum cleaners are heavy and difficult to handle but this little bug made my life a lot easier, this vacuum is so powerful that it lifts everything, whether it’s on the wooden floor or carpet! The floor accessory works for both floors, but I would recommend the air-actuated brush for any carpet and the swivel floor tool for hard floor. The rotating brush moves around things very easily. Incredible power. So light and easy to use. Silent whisper. It stores very well with ways to lock the wand in an upright position. It cleans amazing. I love all the attachments on board. If I could change something, I would make the electric cable longer. To answer the question you are asking yourself, YES! Definitely worth the money.

I have another Miele for Dog and Cat that was too heavy for me to handle and it sucked up my area rugs no matter the setting so bought this one since the roller head is suction, not motor driven. It still sucks up the area rugs on lowest setting. I thought since the head was not power driven that the suction on lowest setting would not be enough to suck up my rugs. Well, it does. I like the quality, the good filters and filter bags, the motor is superb, strong and quiet. But it sucks up the rugs. Also my complaint about all the Miele vacs are the attachments are bulky and wont go under most furniture do the the design, even the handle to hose when used is curved so it would go under things. This also cant be stored in an upright position with the attachment on it like most vacs. It has a clip on the back bottom of the machine that the attachment with hose attached slips into but that means the vac as to stay flat, not set upright and it becomes difficult to store. To store you have to remove the tube and attachment to sit it up. The floor or carpet attachment wont sit upright on its own either. When vacuuming you either have to set it in this clip or lay it on the floor. It wont stand up on its own due to the curved design of the attachments and hose. Very odd. It is as if who designs Miele vacs never used them to clean house or they would have made changes. I still love this one for the lightweight and good motor and filters. Great on fine cat litter dust.

First off, Im a tough reviewer. In general, I dont believe in 5 star reviews unless the product is really excellent at its function or an incredible value. If the product does what it says and costs a normal amount of money, thats a 4 star review in my book. Background: I live in a 2 bedroom apartment, which is 50% hardwood, 25% tile and 25% medium pile carpet. I also have area carpets in the living spaces that are medium-low pile. I dont have any pets, but my fiancee has long hair. I am getting a cat soon - I will update this review when I have tried out the vacuum on cat hair. EDIT: Ive had the cat for 2 months now. Vacuum picks up cat hair on my couch and carpet pretty well. I dont have to re-vacuum any areas as far as I can tell. When doing furniture, I have to clean the attachments fairly often, but thats to be expected. No change to this review. Functions: Hardwood - Fantastic This thing has great suction. It cleans super easily and the parquet floorhead is effective. Carpet - Good The Turboteq carpet brush head cleans the carpets pretty well. There are multiple suction settings and the device recommends a lower suction setting for carpets. I have found I get better results going slower on a lower suction mode than turning up the suction. The suction is very powerful - it will pull up on area rugs. You have to maintain an acute angle with the handle and push forward and slightly down to move the brush head over carpet. Even then it takes a little bit of force. Moving it backwards doesnt work nearly as well. In heavily soiled areas, you may need multiple passes - the runner carpet in the hallway needed 2 or 3 passes. Furniture - The attachments for furniture and upholstery work pretty well. Depending on your furniture you may have to turn the suction down past the furniture setting to the curtain setting. I have not tried to clean my curtains with this vacuum. Usability - Pretty good The main issues with usability are simply with canister vacuums. You have to move the canister, clean that area, and then move the canister again. If youre using the floorheads at specific angles or direction, you may have to set up the canister so the hose is pointing in a useful direction because the hose is a little too short. It is surprising how often you need to consider how to optimize the orientation. The floor and brush heads have lots of rotation but it does not mitigate this problem much. The cord is very long so you can generally always maneuver the vac where you need it to be, but the hose could probably be longer. I will probably be checking in a few months for a longer compatible hose if this continues to annoy me. There are other small usability issues that I would say could be engineered away. The carpet brush head has two notches across it so you can cut hair off. However, over the middle of the brush head, there is a section that the notches are inaccessible because of the brush head bristles. Both notches are inaccessible in the same area from the bristles. It would have been easy to modify the bristle pattern so over the entirety of the brushhead there was at least one notch that work. However, I will say that the notch does work very well when you can use it. The holder for the attachments is also in a slightly inconvenient location as it slightly messes with the tubes. Otherwise the usability is great. Everything assembles easily and its easy to change the bags. Its small and easy to store Quality - Great I havent had this vacuum long, but Im a mechanical engineer who has designed consumer products. I can tell this uses quality materials. The brush head has plastic moving parts, but when inspecting them while cutting hair out, I can tell it is a glass-impregnated plastic for wear resistance. I was able to cut hairs away from it with a normal pocket knife (not a razor blade/hobby knife) without scratching it. I was being careful, but a cheap ABS part would have been scratched up easily. I am impressed by this products engineering and quality. Overall - 4 stars I have written mostly positive things, and the negative things are minor. However, I am only giving this 4 stars, because this aint cheap. $400 is a lot of money for a vacuum, and while it does the job, it doesnt perform its functions unbelievably well. However, it definitely seems built to last. If it is truly as durable as it should be for this price, maybe it is deserving of 5 stars. But if Im paying $400 for an appliance, I dont want slight usability issues or need to make multiple passes on carpet. However, Im not unhappy with my purchase at all. I recommend this for apartment dwellers who are willing to spend a little more time cleaning with a canister vac to get good cleaning results.

This brand is great. The quality of the product is very good, solid motor which performs and does the job as expected. It’s working for over a year and no issues whatsoever. All adapters have been designed so the use of this vacuum machine is very flexible.

Good quality, very easy to operate, good suction

There’s nothing I dislike about this vacuum. I have always had a canister vacuum. When mine broke, I really wanted a cordless vacuum but none of them had the power I wanted. I also found emptying the cup nasty. This vacuum is very light and a breeze to pull along. The handle is very light and easy on my wrist. I pull this vacuum out every day, plug it in and get a fabulously clean floor, with not much hassle at all, because it is very lightweight. Before buying this vacuum I bought a top of the line cordless, with nothing but headaches. I’ll keep my tradition of a canister, knowing my home is really clean. I don’t even mind using this vacuum on my stairs because it’s so light. I call it my blue buddy. I’m very happy with this vacuum, best vacuum I’ve ever owned.

This is a very good product. Easy to use and has a very strong suction feature. I wish it had a way to get to the rotating bar to clean the brushes. Other than that, it is very effective.
