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

So I wondered if the short cord people talked about would bother me, since the company says the length of the cord and the hose make it so much longer... well let me say that the cord is WAY TOO SHORT. As you can see in my photo, it doesnt allow me to go across my kitchen floor, which is not very big, and it cant reach all the way up my staircase. As described, the head is definitely not made for shaggy carpets. The roller bar gets bogged down in the higher pile and I actually have to use 2 hands to push it forward. When you lift the head up the motor starts to rev back up to speed, clearly telling me its been bogged down in the higher pile. So if you think it will work on your shaggy carpet, you will be disappointed. I actually plan to use this at another location where there is only low pile carpets. Despite these shortcomings, this vacuum is amazing at sucking up debris, and it maneuvers so easily, and its fabulous on low pile carpet. The tail end that stores the unused head will definitely make doing wood stairs difficult, because Ill need to remove it to stand it up, so it wont roll off the stairs. So... overall.... I think if you live in a small place, like a small apartment, this cord will work for you. Personally I think I will add a short extension cord to the vacuum because I do love the amazing performance and durability the Miele has.

I tried the vacuum out as soon as I figured out how to assemble the pieces. The suction power is great and did a wonderful job with the cat hair. Next time I will try the furniture attachment. At first I cleaned the hardwoods with the rug nozzle but when I switched to the hardhood floor accessory, it worked much better. I feel the electric cord could be about 5 feet longer as my old upright had, but I will have to adjust to it. I also found it a bit clumsy to be pulling around the cannister. I feel I will have many dependable years with this vacuum and am pleased I bought it.

Our first Miele lasted us almost 20 years and unfortunately just stopped functioning in the middle of cleaning one day. Bought this one as a replacement. Hopefully Miele still makes them last as long!

This was a gift for a 95-year-old homemaker who prides herself on still doing her own housecleaning, and she loves it! A previous vacuum was too much for her to wrestle with, but she reports that the Miele Classic C1 Turbo Team Canister Vacuum Cleaner is easy for her to manage. She has both some wall-to-wall carpet and some runners, and she says the suction adjustment dial works perfectly for her to clean both without the runners being sucked right off the floor. She was also amazed to discover that with the swivel head, she can run the extension tube and swivel head all the way under a full queen size bed. Her children would rather their 95-year-old mother had someone to come in and clean the house for her, but this has turned out to be an excellent next-best choice.

Purchased this for my mom as she wanted another Meile. It arrived quickly. Personally Im not impressed. I have 2 Dysons, the one from Christmas 2005, best present ever, an upright that is still going strong and one from 2016 thats the cordless model. The Meile doesnt have the quality of the Dyson design wise and doesnt have the suction power of either of the 2 I own. I would not recommend this sweeper.

Great suction. Light weight and easy to use. I really like this vacuum cleaner !!

Bought this for my wife after her 20 yr old Hoover finally died. She loved that old vac and her only complaint was its weight. I read many online reviews and decided on this Miele Classic C1 Turbo Team Bagged Canister Vacuum. Almost right away she complained about the tremendous suction and how on carpet it was very hard to move because it sucked itself to the carpet. The suction adjustment didnt seem to help much and I was ready to send it back, but she said maybe it would get better. Well, here we are 4 months in and she complains about it every time she uses it. youd think for such high suction it could suck up pet hair? But again, it doesnt. I went to Amazon to see if it was too late to return and I dont see an option at this point, so I guess live and learn. Meaning if you dont like something from the start, dont count on it getting any better.

As all my floors are wooden/tile and a few area rugs I chose a canister over my old shark. I liked that my old shark had a dust cloth attachment with the hard floor attachment but could not find a good vacuum with that. That being said I was getting discouraged with the bagless vacs due to their ability to scatter dust when emptying, and their inability to carry parts beyond 3 years. My last cleaner prior to the 6 year old Shark was a Kirby, and while it was a pain to do hardwood floors, it was simple easy to get fixed (only 3 times due to human error) and it lasted 23 years. I wanted a vacuum that will, hopefully from the reviews, last longer than 6 years and that can get fixed by local vacuum store. I have used this 3 times and so far it works great, on board attachments make getting the mouldings and windowsills dusted quickly; it fits ALL the way under my sofa and the prior one did not. The biggest downfall is the cord is way to short and I must maneuver its locating to do my entire kitchen, living room, dining room, hallways, etc and we have an open floor plan. It is light, easy to store. The rug attachment with the beater brush is fair, however I have to put the suction level on quite low or the beater bar stops moving due to too much suction. Hopefully in [6] months I will let you know if there is less dust in my home and the cleaner stays in excellent working condition

Good suction, best we’ve seen on a canister. Follows well on hard floors, brush for hard floors is nice - wide and gets up close to the wall - BUT the turbo head is surprisingly really very hard to push on low pile carpet, requires much force (two hands and lower suction) to move it on low pile carpet. The manual and various online videos give no clue of that issue at all. Power level dial seems to have no impact, especially the ‘Ear’ setting for “energy saving” supposedly quiet mode, is not any different in noise level. Came with only one dust bag. Seems a $400 vacuum should come with a HEPA bag, not give you a low end bag out the gate, forcing you to buy an aftermarket HEPA bag. Every new vacuum I’ve bought or shopped for in the last 20 years came with a HEPA bag. Why would the consumer NOT want a HEPA bag? Not good for carpet, excellent for bare floors.

Not pleased with this unit. The rollers dont do a good job of picking up pet fur from carpeting. When it does pick it up, it tightly winds around the roller brush and has to be cut out. It does best only with pulling it backwards, not forwards. The amount of drag trying to push the roller brush unit forward will break your back. Sorry I bought it. Save your money and buy something that does actually work.....like a Shark Rotator Lift-Away Pro with DuoClean. I bought that one after this Miele failed me and it is a beast. No hair or fur stays on the roller brush with that Shark. You can buy it right off the shelf at WalMart. This Miele Classic C1 Turbo is a piece of junk and you too will be sorry. I dont understand the good ratings. Must be shills.
