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.

The Miele Classic C1 Canister Vacuum is a quality choice. As I write, have had mine for about 6-months. It thoroughly cleans thick or Berber carpets and easy to move between rooms with its long power cord. The motor has powerful suction to pick up objects such as food crumbs, tiny paper, small plastics, and pet hair. Canister encasing is sturdy plastic which does not break or scrape easily. Attachments fit well and useful on most upholstery surfaces. The vacuum is best suited for basic cleaning. Retail price for the vacuum is around $400, but sometimes had for less. The only drawback to report is vacuum bags/filters are pricey if one uses genuine branded replacements. So far, am completely satisfied!

Had a Dyson upright, which was very awkward to use and very heavy and top heavy. This new vacuum is fantastic, light and glides effortlessly across the floor. Quiet as well, cats still know it is a vacuum, but a lot less noise. This model is for flat floors and low flat carpet, it doesn't have a rotating brush for beating thick carpets. It looks like it would work on flat carpets and throw rugs, but not on any carpets with plush to them. The attachments are basic and work fine. The crevasse tool is kind of short, and the brush could be angled more, for doing shelves and high spots. The suction is strong and there is a indicator that shows when the suction is obstructed by something jammed in the hose, or the bag is filled. Makes vacuuming a lot easier.

* I wanted to update my review, now that I have been using this vacuum since November 2023. I love it even more, the more I use it. It is EXTREMELY easy to maneuver and to move from room to room. The wheels glide nicely, the telescoping wand makes for easier reaching and the swivel floor brush fits easily low furniture. It's also relatively quiet and the suction is great. The best vacuum I've ever owned, hands down. I have been looking for a lightweight, easy to maneuver vacuum for last several years. With degenerative disk disease and arthritic hips, the very idea of vacuuming made me cringe; I would put it off as long as possible due to the pain of using my top-heavy Shark Flex. Also never really got on board with bagless systems. I've been reading recommendations and reviews for a vacuum with good cleaning power and ease of use. The Miele Classic C1 Pure seemed to offer what I needed, without the necessity of refinancing my home to purchase!! The Miele was easy to assemble - like 10 minutes, max. I just tried it in the livingroom and kitchen and am beyond impressed. It's quiet both the floor head and canister move along my hardwood floors like a dream. I like the various suction options, the way the floor head swivels to access all the areas and even the retractable cord. The actual canister is relatively small and easy to put into a closet. I just got this yesterday, so can't know the reliability over time, but Miele seems to be a quality appliance. I think I may actually "enjoy" vacuuming with this great product. I would recommend the Miele Classic C1 Pure Power. Wish I'd discovered it sooner.

Muy potente y silencioso. Ligero y robusto.

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!
