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

This is definitely the best vacuum for hard floors that Ive ever purchased. Since we put in LVP throughout most of our house, I found that the fabulous upright that we had (Riccar) just didnt do as good a job on the hard floors as it did on carpeting, even with the separately purchased floor attachment. However, finding the right Miele canister vacuum for my needs and budget was very time-consuming. I found that it was very difficult to tell if the reviews on Amazon matched a specific model or not. The Miele website was not much better, especially when I tried to determine what attachments went with what model. I wanted to know how effective the turbo brush was and if it was included in the particular models I was considering. What ultimately saved the day was being able to go in person to an appliance store that sold Miele vacuums. Unfortunately, the closest store to me did not happen to have any of the vacuums in stock, but the salesperson was able to print out a comparison sheet of the Classic C1 Turbo Team Powerline (SBANO) and Compact C1 Turbo Team Powerline (SCAE0), both of which appeared to be the best options for hard floors. Since there was about a $100 difference between them, I wanted to see if the extra cost was worth it for the Compact C1. Both appeared to be made in Germany, something that many of the Amazon reviews argued was important. It turns out that their specifications are almost identical. The Compact has a Stainless steel telescopic tube and the Classic has a Comfort compact telescopic tube, but its hard to see the difference. They both have the same operating radius (29 feet) and the same cord length of 18 feet. They take different filter bags, but the Classics bad volume is 4.8 qts. vs 3.7 for the Compact. The only other difference I could tell was that the nominal power consumption for the Classic is 1000 W while the Compacts is 1100 W. Since these differences seemed to favor the Classic, I decided to save $100 and purchase that. The Turbo brush was still a mystery, but both models offered that as well as a Parquet brush. I knew from the Riccar what a Parquet brush could do, and I figured that it would be at least adequate if the Turbo brush wasnt any good. It turns out that the Turbo brush is one of the best features of the vacuum. It makes vacuuming hard floors easier and super fast. I still use the tube by itself for the edges, but rely on the Turbo brush, especially for large areas. As I mentioned in the review title, I have a heavily shedding dog, a Newfoundland, and his hair has yet to cause problems with the Turbo brush. The brush is pretty loud when set at the highest suction setting, and it will not work on my kitchen stress relief mats except on the lowest suction setting. I do a good job vacuuming our bathroom mat with the parquet attachment and the middle to low setting without the mat getting sucked up. One of the reviews mentioned their vacuum bag filled up very fast, but Ive had the Miele Classic for almost three months and the bag has yet to fill up, even with my dog, In conclusion, you dont have to fork out extra money to get a great hard floor vacuum in the Classic C1 Turbo Team PowerLine, and youll probably agree that its definitely worth how much you do spend.

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!

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.

I just got this and Im not sure I like it. It works great on hard floors, but on carpet it is very difficult to push. The cleaning power is very good, but you do get a workout when pushing it back and forth. Im 72, I need something easier to push.

Why is it that if you want a good vacuum in America, you have to buy one made by a foreign company? I dont know (I do know), but I do know that Miele is the way to go for vacuums regardless of where you live. The suction power is incredible and, even without the power head attachment, really deep cleans carpets. I just wish Id been able to afford this one first, instead of all of the useless $100 and $200 vacuums weve lost along the way. Perfect for pet hair - we have a border collie and a long haired cat, and plenty of short-haired pets. The only thing thats come close to the ability to get pet hair out of the carpet like this thing, is carpet scrubbing steam cleaners - and who wants to break that out each week? Perfect for stairs - our stairs have been a wreck for ages, because our uprights could never provide anything close to a good cleaning solution for stairs. The suction power, long hose, secure attachment locks, and especially the low overall weight of this unit make cleaning stairs easy.

Light weight! Wheels move great! Suction is unbelievable and I used the couch brush for a hard to remove pet hair recliner I have and it worked very well. Definitely worth the money. Not sure if I like the additional brush holder on the top I’ll see how they stay as I use it.

Do not hesitate to buy this vacuum! Best suction EVER! I had a Dyson and it didn’t come close to this one. The brush head is fantastic for hardwood and area rugs. The fibers in the rug stand back up and it pulls dirt from deep in the fibers. Gets easily into small places like between spindles. Pulls animal fur from under trim without needing to switch attachment. It’s quiet, lightweight, easy to maneuver, and best suction of any I’ve ever used! You will not regret this purchase.

After my Kenmore vacuum cleaner literally melted down, I read a bunch of reviews in order to decide on a replacement. The Mieles were all well rated so I decided to try the canister vacuum cleaner lower on their price range. No disappointment: this vacuum cleaner is light, easy to move around, surprisingly quiet, and has a vacuum ability way beyond my old Kenmore. It is really nice to be able to write a positive review for something and, last note which folks may want to know: this vacuum cleaner is built in Germany.

I have a cleaning business and I tried many different vacuum cleaners. Miele never let me down.I’m a domestic organizer by profession and I decided to invest in a quality vacuum for my business. I researched a lot and never paid so much for a vacuum, but I would say it’s totally worth it! Not only will it save time with my work, but I recently moved to a very old house with carpets and I have a 1 year old so vacuuming the floor is extremely necessary. But most vacuum cleaners are heavy and difficult to handle but this little bug made my life a lot easier, this vacuum is so powerful that it lifts everything, whether it’s on the wooden floor or carpet! The floor accessory works for both floors, but I would recommend the air-actuated brush for any carpet and the swivel floor tool for hard floor. The rotating brush moves around things very easily. Incredible power. So light and easy to use. Silent whisper. It stores very well with ways to lock the wand in an upright position. It cleans amazing. I love all the attachments on board. If I could change something, I would make the electric cable longer. To answer the question you are asking yourself, YES! Definitely worth the money.

I have owned 3 Miele vacuums. One I had for 12 years and passed down to a friend ( It was still in working order) when I upgraded to the next model. We have another home and now need another vacuum. I Love that they are not heavy and the canister follows easily and pivots effortlessly. If you havent tried a canister vac , you should. It is about 20 lbs so no problem to carry up the staircase. The on/off controls are on the body which makes the handle lighter. Miele is top of the line quality and this is the least expensive model. It works very well for me! The prices go up to 1200.00 so its up to you what you spend but this little workhorse can handle a lot. For @ 400.00 I got a package that included the vacuum and on board furniture and crevice tools hidden in the body. A parquet floor wide head and a smaller wood floor or area rug head. Bonus* they sent over 15 extra vacuum bags and a HEPA filter! The vacuum was protected with the bags so there was no packaging waste. I love that it matches my new kitchen colors!
