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

First off the little canister is so cute, like a little bug. But wow, its powerful. I love that the canister is separate from the hose, makes vacuuming less labor intensive. Great suction, great maneuverability. My husband even loves it and vacuums now all the time.

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.

This is so easy to handle and maneuver and so quiet. The best vacuum I’ve ever owned. Supposed to be reliable is another reason I hope to be able to count on. I had two Hoovers and the last one was so loud and never liked it with all the flaws it had.

Our air-powered brush stopped turning, YouTubed ST305 diassembly and I found out that theres a flaw that requires you to take it apart and if you dont you can burn out / melt the side bearings with hair getting in there EVEN IF you clean the brush head everytime with a knife. Bad design. Or maybe its normal. Clearly well built, works decently, high priced, bags... you can try to skimp but eh. Iono. Used for 2.5 years and is very powerful. Just downside is it cant really do thick carpet that well, have to pull back only, cant push forward with the brush head since it isnt truly motor powered - only powered by air moving through a ... think water/windmill style front. Expensive but seems good in the ways youd expect it to be performance. Removed 2 star for poor maintenance/design in what I mentioned.

We are a retired couple, no pets, little foot traffic. The original bag was in place when it arrived. After vacuuming our small, one story home every other week for less than 2 months, I noticed the red light was on. I checked the bag compartment and saw bag was indeed full with dust around the outside of white seal and fine light layer of dust in compartment. The seal itself seemed to be “ floppy”. I turned vacuum on and saw when the bag expanded the floppiess went away slightly but a very tight seal did not seem to be in place. I also noticed a new “odor” before I saw the red light. I am ordering new bags to see what happens. Otherwise happy with vacuum, but purchased, as everyone does, for the seal. That is priority #1.

Good quality, very easy to operate, good suction

This model has a beater bar, which works wonderfully for the two rooms that have carpet. The rest of the house is wood floors. I knew it would do a wonderful job on the wood floors. Im especially pleased with the beater bar attachment. You wont go wrong getting this vacuum cleaner!

Needed a new vacuum and I was set on getting a canister unit instead of another stick or upright model. I love this thing. I tried out a Kenmore canister for a month before returning it and getting the Miele. The Miele is superior in every way, there are so many little design details that make using this vacuum enjoyable instead of a frustrating chore.

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.

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!
