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.

Perfection. Lightweight, easy to maneuver, powerful suction!

I've been using vacuums for more than 30+ years and had the usual expectations of them... mostly loud, harsh vibrations, left an odd residue smell, and usually broken or 1/2 of their original performance and new quality feel after just a few years. Well fast forward to this weekend when I took the plunge into a vacuum brand i knew nothing about and my vacuum game just got elevated. Quiet, solidly built, functional, strong suction, useful on the fly settings and a design that is appealing and classic. On top of all that, the price was comparable to what I payed for a now "curbside" vacuum that lasted only a couple years. The Miele C1 Classis is the "base" model of the Miele vacuum brand but at least for me its worlds ahead of any brand I’ve used before. As far as my actual vacuuming trial this weekend, it handled great with just the base model and the floor to carpet switchable head that came with it. I have about 80% hardwood floors and the rest are either low pile or some rougher indoor/outdoor mats which this vacuum did a great job on. I found that the very accessible exhaust adjust on the handle allowed for fast changes of suction - including when i had to open them up fully going over more shag rug carpets. Maybe in the near future i may add a roller attachment to get more stubborn debris like buried lint deep in the carpet but so far 99% of what I need to vacuum is handled by this machine. If I could make changes to the C1 it would be to have a hand operated off/on switch and perhaps having the vacuum a bit lighter.. but I think those are not possible on this base model in order to keep the costs down and put the money towards the more crucial points of the vacuum like the powerful yet quiet vacuum motor (common to all models) and the overall build quality of the rest of the components. No regrets at all on this purchase.

Finally a vacuum that actually sucks in a good way!!! This vacuum provides a STRONG suction for tiled and hardwood floors and has the versatility to go over carpets or rugs. I love this vacuum so freaking much!! It cleans up all the crumbs from our bird's pellets and shredded toys that we have to vacuum every other day. It's truly the best vacuum I've ever owned!

Good machine, easy to maneuver and picks up well. However, I bought it to use for more in-depth cleaning, to supplement my Dyson, which I find is best for quick cleanups because it dies too quickly. Wanted a bagged system because I have several pets. My issue with this new vacuum cleaner is more a consequence of my failure to consider the limitations of the type of vacuum head this machine has. It’s a flat-faced plastic piece that slides along the floor or carpet. There’s no motorized aspect to the vacuuming action. I assumed it had some type of brush and motorized head because every canister I’ve had has had them. So it’s not so good for carpets. However, I have only 2 small, very low-pile area rugs and the rest of my floors are hardwood, so I can manage with this machine. I have purchased the parquet floor attachment but haven’t used it yet. Other reviewers speak positively about it. I do like the light weight of this machine, its maneuverability, and suction power.

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

I used BISSELL PowerClean Multi-Cyclonic Canister Vacuum in 5 years and Bissell product tend to broken super easily like 1.5-2years, and i wanted to change with new company. I found this brand with chat gpt, and since then i'm not regret any penny. Suction is amazing and powerful, and wheel is so smooth(struggled with Bissell) It just 3 month, but i want to come back and update this product again. Wish I can try their latest one, just price is a bit high :( but worth it to invest

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.

I really like the design and construction there a place to store everything, the pieces are well designed and easy to use. It is light and easy to pull, the cord system works perfectly, the bag replacement is so easy!! Like it a lot !
