Miele Complete C3 Calima Bagged Canister Vacuum Cleaner with Turbobrush floorhead Suitable for Low-Medium Pile Carpet and Hard

I. LOVE. THIS. VACUUM. I had my eye on this vacuum for several years before finally splurging and buying it for myself. I loved it from the first time I used it and it’s going strong over the last 3 months of weekly use. I have environmental sensitivities, and this vacuum is rated very highly in terms of how well sealed it is and how it does not redisperse any particles back into the air. Pros: relatively quiet, considering how powerful it is. The casters are really smooth and it's easy to pull around. I appreciate the variety of different brush heads and the cute storage compartment. I also really like how you can store the wand upright when the vacuum is out. Cons: It’s pricey! And replacement bags and filters are also not cheap. It is worth it to me, though, knowing that it is keeping the air in my home cleaner. I also feel like the slot to store the wand upright is not very secure. I feel like that that part will break down at some point. I also wish that the cord retractor was slower. It retracts alarmingly fast! Overall, I really love this vacuum. Is it perfect? No. But it is certainly good/satisfying to use, and I feel like it was money well spent. Read more

I needed a lightweight vacuum, since I have some autoimmune and painful joints and so am not very fit, but also needed a vacuum that also enough power for both floors and carpet. This Miele is just the ticket. It's a touch above 16 lbs with the hose and other equipment on, but I hardly broke a sweat while vacuuming the upstairs plus the stairs of our two-floor house. The telescoping pole of the handle was long enough so that I could vacuum from the top of the stairs and not have to go all the way down to the bottom--just one step, while holding on the stair rail, that's how light it is. I like that all the small attachments are inside the canister for easy storage and I kept the handy box for the tube and larger attachments. The Miele is of very high quality, the vacuum suction is strong, and the floor brush attachment is very maneuverable and easy to use under and around furniture, as well as behind bathroom utilities such as toilets. It is also easy to store because of its smaller footprint. Highly recommended! Read more

Received our Curry Yellow C3 Complete today and took it for a full-on test run. We have always owned and used upright vacuums to varying degrees of satisfaction. 80% of our vacuum needs have always been for carpeting and not much has been said about how well Miele vacuums actually preform on carpeting, but I went with my gut instinct and purchased our first canister type machine. I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER! It pulls debris and long embedded dust like a champ. I looked in the bag after the first use and was stunned at what our other vacuum had been leaving behind. To be fair..the old Eureka was heavy, noisy and seemed to fling dirt ahead of itself, and I had reached my limit with it. Yes, the Miele is spendy, but after just one use I don’t care because it was money well spent. The beater brush head is smaller than a conventional upright and at first I thought it would be a drawback adding extra work. But as it turns out it is lighter and far more maneuverable than an upright and is actually faster as you are not constantly going over the same area trying to pick up those elusive little bits. The smaller width of the head allows the user to clean those narrow areas that uprights just can’t squeeze into. And suction?? Well let’s just say that it has all the suction you could ever ask for and I needed to dial it down for the carpeting. Have not tried it on stairs or smooth floors yet, but already know it will preform above expectations. Just a great purchase that is light and powerful with any attachments included that we will ever need. Not sorry at all about spending $799.00 because quality always pays for itself in the end.

I absolutely love this vacuum. This is the second one I’ve owned. My first one I gave to my daughter when she moved into her apartment and I bought this one. These are great quality. A great size and has great suction. I love the attachments. A bonus for me is the color. It is very light to pull around when vacuuming, but does a great job. My first one was over 10 years old and still worked great. Read more

This $$$ vacuum is pure garbage. I'm stuck with a very expensive vacuum that doesn't suction dirt into a vacuum bag. Dirt and pet hair fill the compartment and don't go into the bag. This happened each time the bag was replaced (first 3 times with brand new vacuum). I even watched videos on how to correctly insert a Miele bag into the vacuum. And Miele is unethical. Unless you buy it directly from Miele they won't honor the warranty to replace the vacuum. That is up to the dealer through which you bought it - and if the dealer is online like MallStop on Amazon you are unlikely to get a return because the return window is woefully short. If you vacuum once a week then normally a person doesn't check to replace the bag after just 2-3 vacuumings. Nor will Miele honor the repairs - which they leave to the buyer to work out with the seller. Another very bad design flaw is the turbo brush head - you have to use scissors to cut the pet hair off of the brush after each vacuuming in order to clean the brush head. Imagine buying a hepa filter vacuum for purposes of clean breathing and you have to breathe in dirt and dust while trying to clean the brush head after each time you vacuum. Horrible. Do yourself a favor and save a lot of money for a hepa approved vacuum that a reputable dealer such as Walmart will take back and replace if defective. Read more
