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

I started out 16 years ago with a Dyson . Then another Dyson -which neither had the longevity like a Miele. I wasnt prepared to pay hundreds of dollars for a Miele so I have been through 2 crappy Hoovers recently until now. I started at the lower end of the Miele canisters and I am not disappointed. I love my Vaccuum! I got a great deal on Amazon!! I researched the heck out of the models. this Turbo classic c1 does the job well. I was also told by a reputable Vaccuum store to make sure my Miele was made in Germany not China. that was important info to pass along. I hope my review helps. I also have a very furry house so I would say the turbo c1 or the animal canister that has electro floorhead.

Its lightweight. Easy to maneuver. I dont even sweep any more. I use the hard floor attachment daily. Its perfect. Best vaccum Ive ever owned.

Great vacuum, light, quiet and powerful. However after a year the Turbo Brush Floorhead stopped working. I took it apart and cleaned everything but no luck. Hard to clean a carpet without it.

I love this company. Their products are beautiful, well constructed and German…they just make sense. I’m going to be honest here. If you look at the Miele line, all of the first models are suction only. Meaning…there’s no electrical component engaging the telescopic wand or turbo brush. It’s all suction. You need to pay close attention and use a considerable effort keeping the suction at the exact level you need. You can turn a nob, release some in a switch near the handle, or park it for a bit as you get ready to get your octopus suction ready for the next surface. It’s all good if you are young…living in a condo with minimal square footage…and want the German approach to cleaning. You want an electrically driven brush head…period. Unless you live in a marble palace. It’s worth the extra $200-300, no matter what line you take on. The suction is the same. You just want and need some help. If you have crossed over the $400 mark, what’s another $350 or so…get what you want and need. Otherwise, get a mega Kenmore and budget 2-3 in the lifetime of a properly cared-for Miele. I made the mistake and went by budget. Got to the corporate website and look at what you want and need. The filters can be installed and purchased for any model. Get an electric brush and parquet shovel head…and the hand brush for sure. Look at the cost of these things individually. It just makes sense. The bags and filters are superb. Cloth bags. I feel like I’m back in the day. When things were built to last!

Definitely not a Dyson (in terms of solidly built) but it works fine, has good suction and is small and easy to use. It’s very lightweight so I find myself having to slow down when I use it otherwise it will flip over. Negatives would be that the cord isn’t very long and it’s a bit cumbersome to pull out, and it has bags that need replacing. Overall it seems to be a reliable unit with decent suction. I just don’t know how long it will last with average use.

Needed a new vacuum and I was set on getting a canister unit instead of another stick or upright model. I love this thing. I tried out a Kenmore canister for a month before returning it and getting the Miele. The Miele is superior in every way, there are so many little design details that make using this vacuum enjoyable instead of a frustrating chore.

The Miela C1 Classic Turbo came today. I couldnt wait to try it out! Easy to assemble. Even though it came with instruction booklet I really didnt need it; pretty self-explanatory. I did my research and gave this a lot of thought before purchasing because I was concerned about the low to medium pile carpet feature. Really wasnt convinced that this would take care of our area rugs and low pile wall to wall. Was I surprised. It does a fantastic job on our rugs. Very pleased with this turbo head and it rolls nicely over the carpet. It has four small wheels that make it roll easily. I had a Sebo with the fancy powerhead and I can honestly say that this Miela, without a motorized powerhead, does just as good a job for our needs. We have 95 percent hardwood and the floor brush does a very good job of picking up debris. It also has little wheels the roll easily over the hardwood so dont have to worry about scratching the floors. For this price point I think this Miela is a great buy. As far as noise goes, I would say it is not a noisy vacuum compared to others I have owned. The noise level does increase as the power level increases but not offensive. I dont foresee the need to power this vac to full power because I think it just might pull up the hardwood:) This really has sucker power!! One rather unusual thing is when you first turn it on there will be a moment of hesitation before you actually hear the motor power on. This is made to do this so dont think your vac is broken. Im very happy with this vac and after only one use! German made, says it all!

I love the weight, maneurverability and suction of this vacuum. However, everytime I clean house, I have to cut the pet hair out of the beater of the floor head to pull the hair out. I did not buy the cat/dog model because it was over $200 more and my Kenmore cannister did not have this problem 70% of our flooring is hardwood and the remainder area rugs. I contacted Miele and there solution was to buy a special attachment. I dont want to use a hand attachment to clean my area rugs.

This was a replacement for an old Sears vacuum. We wanted something that didnt weigh much and is capable of doing a good job. Compared to others on the market this fit that bill. Most of Miele stuff is expensive, this item was not. Probably weighs half of what the sears model does so its easy to pull it or carry around and use on stairs. The hose and attachments click together or come apart easily. Ceiling vents are easy to reach even if youre not a tall person. The hose is lightweight but very strong. The suction power is adjustable and on high it is very powerful. The cord retraction is super. The on/off switch is on the canister. Because of its smaller size the attachments couldnt be stored inside the canister. Instead the attachments mount on a rack which is attached to the hose near the base which at first I thought was weird, but it turns out that is actually convenient. The rug attachment is simple and runs on suction power from the vacuum as opposed to having its own motor. It is superb on carpet. The Miele bags are thick, adequate size and come with replacement filters should you need them. This vacuum is a testament to German engineering.

Im a simple man and I appreciate quality. This thing is dripping with quality. Not interested in Dyson because I dont like overpaying for something that looks futuristic but actually isnt. I would rather go for a company that is less widely popular, but has made quality products in the industry for many years. Miele fit this bill and I have no regrets spending the money on it. Ive tried cordless vacuums and cheaper vacuums. Cordless vacuums simply dont do a good enough job to justify having one around. Youre basically leaving 40% of debris behind on whatever youre trying to clean. For the sake of not having a cord. Yuck. Thats not my style at all. When I clean, I want the thing clean. Spent $150 on a cordless which I regret. Ive tried cheaper corded vacuums and although the suction power is decent they all lack something which make them feel like a complete cleaning solution. I should have just foregone all those and bought a Miele right off the bat. Heres why it is amazing and a 5/5 overall: - Suction power is amazing. 1200W motor so there you go. It doesnt play around and it doesnt sound obnoxious either. - The bag system is much preferred. Im so over dumping debris in a garbage can and trying to dodge a cloud of dust. Just take the bag and throw it away. I dont mind paying a little more over a lifetime of use and never having to worry about breathing in all the crap the vacuum just sucked up ever again. - Filtration system is genius. The air feels so clean after vacuuming there you would think you are in a different environment after. - The vacuum is simple yet Im able to clean the whole house effectively with it. A simple swap of the tool head and I can reach all corners of the ceiling. Cobwebs, spider webs, dust, all gone. The wheels keep it maneuverable and allow it to swivel easily. It has a button to retract the cord so you dont have to wind it up after like most vacuums in the $200 range. Not the longest cord ever but its fine and feels sturdy. - Once you are done with it, the vacuum slides into place to become one piece, and tucks into your closet, taking up minimal space. How considerate. Great buy and Im very happy because my living space is fresh and clean!
