> 24 hourThis is my 1st Miele and Im pleases, however the suction power on this little guy is mind blowing. I have low pile rugs on hardwood floors downstairs, carpeted stairwell and carpet bedrooms upstairs. The thing is so powerful that its kinda hard to push on carpet even when I adjust the settings. So Ive turned my vacuum days into a work out day bc youre definitely putting in some work pushing that thing. I still give it 5 stars.

> 24 hourThis 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.

> 24 hourI just received this vacuum and so far I’m really impressed. I’ve owned nearly every type of vacuum out there and I feel like this one is a real winner - well made, light weight and plenty of suction power. I particularly like the parquet attachment; it’s wide enough to cover ground quickly and seems to pick up really well. Time will tell, but I’ve got a feeling I’m going to become a Miele fan.

> 24 hourWe have used Miele products for 12+ years and love the results! This is the first time I have purchased this model and it is perfect for a household. Prior to this we used them for residential and vacation rental cleaning business. This is the perfect vacuum for around the house and is very easy to move around (we go from upstairs to downstairs with no difficulty), get under furniture, go from carpet to hard floors and back, and get into the corners of things. It is easy to change the attachments and the improvements to the handle and extension are amazing! Like others have stated, the cord is not anything special in length, but for around your personal house, it is simple enough to change to a different outlet. For the quality of this vacuum, the shorter cord length is not much of a compromise. The electrical of these vacuums also hold up well from past experience and the cord can handle a lot of twists and turns. The color is also super fun! We call our vacuum Brainy like Brainy smurf because it is blue. :) Doesnt disappoint and highly recommend!

> 24 hourThis thing is very nice. But for the price, I expect more. I used this for a small residential cleaning business I run, so Ive put it through its paces for sure. I understand its not truly meant for that purpose, with certain design decisions making that quite obvious, but I had several people recommend Miele to me--thought Id try the company out with one of their lower-mid-range entries (didnt want to dive head first into a full grand for one quite yet, you understand) and see if it was going to knock my socks off. Overall, I am underwhelmed. Its like buying designer. Its well made, its durable, people like how it looks and feels, and the experience of using it is what Id describe as higher-end, but the functionality could be improved. Ill start with the positives, because there are actually more positives than negatives. Like I stated in the title, get this if you want a vacuum that will last you. Something that looks nice in your house, that gets the job done without much stress, etc. 1. The thing is quality for sure. I legitimately dont care about where a product is built at all, as long as its quality. Europe, China, Mexico, USA--I just dont. What I care about is that its built well, and runs well. Ive used it on over 100 residential properties (many of which large ones) with no sweat. In some cases, I abused this vacuum. Zero issues with it running, breaking, failing, or even seemingly to come remotely close. And given how sturdy it still feels and sounds, I bet it could last another 10 years even in my hands. 2. The retractable cord feature is amazing, and I dont know how Ive lived without it. On the other hand, my biggest concern with the vacuum overall is how long this retracting feature will last before it breaks and either trashes the vacuum, or causes me to have to order parts to repair it. Hasnt hiccupped once yet, though, and Ive been very tough on it. I will say, I wish the cord was about 6 foot longer--in operation, it just feels slightly too short every time I use it. 3. This is a strange one... but it looks really nice. Ive had clients ask me about it. It exudes this is a really nice vacuum energy, and I actually think that has helped my business in minor ways. Lol. That alone COULD justify the cost, considering my clientele, but not entirely. Im focused on a few other factors, which is why it gets some hard negative marks. 4. The sound gets high praise from me. When Im in a clients house with them present, it doesnt feel like Im disturbing them to any significant degree. From a business standpount, who truly cares, as they paid for service and know that vacuums are loud and will be involved in the process--but again, it contributes to the experience, which through a trickle effect, contributes to my pocket. That said, its still a vacuum. 5. I like the power dial. Half the settings I dont use, but I do like it. 6. For how low-power the motor is overall, it produces some good results. Not astounding, but solid overall. I dont frequently have to go over anything a second time, which allows me to spend less time on the job and produce a better outcome. Not saying there arent cases where Im like how did that not picked up? but those cases are fewer and further between. Some notes on that in one of my major negatives, because this positive only applies to MOST of the attachments--theres one glaring exception. 7. Most of the attachments are well-made and do their job. From my experience with vacuums, its not hard to get right most of the time, but I give it props. I do however have two MASSIVE problems with them, one of which is more of a problem with the vacuum itself, and thats where Ill start... (Here are my gripes. There are two big ones) 1. There was not much effort in providing an attachment attachment system onto the vacuum. Its not great. It exists, at best. Its inconvenient and inefficient at worst. It proves space for 4/6 of the attachments while in operation (three of which are attached to the vacuum, and one on the wand, so 5/6 if youre using the extension, which I defintely dont need all the time), and I cannot begin to express how annoying that is for me. Theres just always an extra attachment that is loose. The three that do stick onto the vacuum are incoveniently located right at the base of the hose. And if Im not using the rotating brush head or extension, they have nowhere to live. I either have to caddy them around, or leave it somewhere. This is overall my biggest gripe with the vacuum. Now, do most vacuums even feature a place to put them? Not too many--but for what the vacuum prices at, it absolutely should have a spot for every single attachment WHILE ROLLING AROUND, in operation. Its actually the biggest reason I ended up buying a different one after putting this one through a run of about 4-5ish months. Theres a secondary reason, though. 2. The turbo heads size is ALMOST unacceptably small. It frequently ejects even small debris. It should not do this. If it were dog food, or otherwise, Id understand. No. This will not only spit out debris the size of broken mechanical pencil lead, it will fling it with great velocity across the room. Small, tiny pieces of leaves. Tiny fly corpses. Im serious. And yes, this is with the brush head cleaned of hair and other debris. Either the vacuum doesnt have enough suction to pull these things in before they hit the spinning brush and get rail-gunned across the house, or the opening for debris in front of the brush is too small. I dont know. And frankly, I dont really care. These are things households run into frequently, and should be considered in the design. Some other minor negatives and implementation ideas--things I wouldnt drop the rating for, but that Ill include; 1. Bags are expensive, but I knew that through my research. Still. Theyre vacuum bags. Small ones at that. The bags are nice, but theres no reason for them to be as nice when theyre disposable. Not to mention, the air filters dont justify the cost either for what they actually are. Reloading them is an absolute breeze though, Ill give them that. 2. I have a love-hate relationship with the angled handle where the attachments clip on. I like it 75% of the time when in casual operation, rolling it back and forth across the floor. But its a pain in the ass when Im working around obstacles. I wish it could either straighten out or be removed while retaining the ability to actually use the attachments. 3. It looks like it should have the ability to be a backpack vacuum. I knew it wasnt when going into the purchase, but I think that would really be an excellent addition as an attachment to the rolling side. Ive genuinely thought about trying to lut an sttachment like that together. I dont recall if their higher end options feature this, but if they dont, its a missed opportunity. All in all, I would have really liked to give this vacuum a higher score. I still like the vacuum, and I use it in my own house, and Ill be glad to have it as a backup for my business, as its something I might use on really large households when I have others helping me. But in my day-to-day, it had to take a permanent side-line, and anything that gets that treatment from me cant get more than a 3 star. I have a Ridgid shop-vac that handles attachments better, has more power, has lasted years and years, and was legitimately like a fourth (maybe a fifth) the price. Would I use it in the same situations? No, but what the Miele gives me for spending that much more on it just ISNT enough. And for me, that just caused it to fall below my expectations. Thanks for reading. -a dedicated vacuum user.

> 24 hourWe 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.

> 24 hourOur old canister vacuum bit the dust. I researched for the best replacement and decided to buy the Miele Classic C1 Turbo canister vacuum. It weighed about half of what our old vacuum did. It tracks well. When you pull on it, it follows right behind you. I cant say that about our old one. The suction is super. We have hardwood floors throughout of home. The vacuum picks up cat hair and dust like it was nothing. I have carried it up the steps to our second floor and it was easy. The attachments are easy to connect and disconnect. This is one impressive vacuum.
