The Hoover Complete Performance is one of the few uprights with hepa bags under $200. It's very good at cleaning carpets because it has a stiff brushroll and carpet height adjustment. Reasons not to buy this Hoover are it has no brushroll shutoff, so it isn't the best for hard floors and the brushroll stays on even when you are using the hose. Long hair will get wrapped on the Hoover's brushroll as well and it requires 6 screws to get to the brushroll. It's loud. Other options are the Bissell Big Green Commerical PowerForce Bagged/Sanitaire Professional SL4110A, the Kenmore 31140/Elite upright, Prolux 7000 upright. If you keep the Miele for hard floors and tools use you could get a carpet only upright vacuum like the Karcher Ranger $212. The Ranger is lightweight like an Oreck but has no hose or tools. The Karcher Ranger is made by Sebo and has the same easy to remove brushroll that doesn't need any tools to remove. Thoughts?
Since you have mostly carpets it doesn't make sense to keep the Miele C1 Turbo which is for mostly hard floors and minimal rugs. If you want to be able to clean both carpets and hard floors the vacuum needs a powerhead for carpets and brushroll shutoff or a hard floor brush for hard floors. Low price option is the Kenmore 31140/Elite Upright $250. Strong suction, carpet height adjustment, and brushroll shutoff. Downsides are that it's heavy and you need a screwdriver to get to the brushroll to remove hair. Mid price option: Sebo Dart/Sebo Felix $549/$699. These are very durable upright vacuums with carpet height adjustment and brushroll shutoff. The Felix adds swivel steering on the carpet powerhead and a dedicated hard floor brush that also swivels. Downsides are a short hose and they're kinda top heavy. High price options: Sebo K3 $849 and Sebo E3 $1049. These are very durable canister vacuums with carpet powerheads and dedicated hard floor brushes. Canister vacuums have long flexible hoses that you don't have to stretch out like on an upright. Downsides are the higher price and some people don't like how they move. The Sebos are very durable, easy to repair, and their brushroll pops out without any tools for faster cleaning.
Agreeing with u/vacuum_everyday. The parquet brush won't work very well on carpets, the powerhead will work better. Just clean off the hair regularly so it doesn't grow into a monster. The Miele C3 Marin is a very good vacuum for carpets and hard floors, but the Sebo is more durable and the removable brushroll is a huge difference. Miele's brushrolls are not user removable, you can cut the hair off but they don't make it easy for the user to remove the whole brushroll. The Kenmore Elite Upright actually has very good suction and carpet cleaning, but it's heavy and Kenmore's canisters have some bag leak flaws. Choosing a Miele or Sebo you get a quieter vacuum that will last longer. In Sebo's case a vacuum that is very easy to maintain and repair. The upright and commercial vacuums I recommended are good for carpets if you were to keep your Miele canister. If you want just one vacuum for hard floors and carpets I would choose a Sebo because of their high durability and they can clean all flooring types. Agree with u/vacuum_everyday rent a good carpet cleaner like the Bissell Big Green or hire a professional carpet cleaning company. Of if you have the space buy a Bissell Big Green Commerical Carpet Cleaner. Carpets do fade over time so it won't make them shiny but shampooing them will remove dirt and soil that accumulates over time.
\#1 and #3 are the same vacuum just different color and accessories. They're pretty good at cleaning carpets but not very well built. They have swivel steering but the brushroll always spins even when using the hose. Since they're practically the same #1 is cheaper and the better value. \#2 is the best carpet vacuum of the 3. It has a stiff brushroll, more carpet height adjustment, a bigger motor, and my favorite a longer cord. It is heavier and it doesn't have swivel steering. Also the current version removed the brushroll shutoff switch so the brushroll is always on like #1 & #3. So my pick of the 3 would be #2 the Hoover WindTunnel High Performance Pet. Although all of the Hoovers have hepa filters all bagless tend to leak dust over time. If you have allergies I recommend the bagged version the Hoover Complete Performance Advanced UH30650PC $169, it's similar to #2 but it uses hepa bags.
The Hoover Anniversary WindTunnel Self-Propelled upright vacuums are capable vacuums but they are heavy. I don't love them, the self-propelled drive adds complexity and weight. I think the regular WindTunnel bagged uprights are better. This is a repairable vacuum so if you want to keep it you could get the height adjustment repaired but that won't help the weight. It should clean carpets well and be mediocre on hard floors. Hepa bags are still available so filtration is ok. Just for carpets I think there are better lighter vacuums. For all around there are better and lighter vacuums. The current Hoover Complete Performance Advanced UH30650PC and Bissell BigGreen Commercial PowerForce Bagged BGU1451T are both around $160 and they are good at cleaning carpets and they are both lighter, no brushroll shutoff though. The Kenmore Elite Upright 31150 $250 is good at carpets and hard floors but it is heavy too. Karcher Ranger $212 is a lightweight upright that primarily cleans carpets, there's no hose or tools.
If you just have low to medium pile carpets a lot people like the Kenmore Intuition $150-180 because it's bagged and lightweight, it's smaller than a full-size vacuum like the Hoover Anniversary. It has brushroll shutoff for hard floors and swivel steering and liftaway mode. Downsides are it isn't as durable as your old Hoover and the hose is short. But I'd make some of those tradeoffs for a much lighter vacuum. There's an Intuition BU4050 that's popular because it has a brushroll that reduces hairwrap and it comes with the most bags and tools included. If you have high pile or plush carpets you really carpet height adjustment. The Hoover Complete Performance Advanced $180-200 is good for carpets and without self-propelled motors and extra wheels it's much lighter than your old Hoover. It doesn't have brushroll shutoff though, so it's not great on hard floors and the brushroll spins even when you use the hose. The Kenmore Elite Upright $250-300 has carpet height adjustment and brushroll shutoff, but it's the heaviest of the three. Not as heavy as your old Hoover and I find the weight average when using the vacuum but if you have to lift it up it is the heaviest and it has a short hose. The Kenmore Elite has the most features and the best build quality of these 3 too.
We use our cordless vacuum just for the hardwood floors and tiles. We used a bagged, corded vacuum to clean area rugs. If I run the Dyson stick over the rugs, I can run the 12 amp Hoover after and still suck up a bunch of dog fur the Dyson missed.
