ask your dealer about the c1 centennial with SEB217 power nozzle. it’s lighter than the cat and dog but still gives you the motorized beater brush. i would not recommend a turbo. i’ve seen people buy turbo setups for wall to wall carpeting before and they usually regret it.

miele’s recommendations are completely ridiculous. in their new lineups, the Cat and Dog models come with turbo brushes. the crazier part is that they use the same exact supplier for their turbo brushes as everybody else except they charge like $150 for their special branded one.

bagless vacuums will let dust into the air. bagged vacuums that have a sealed system with high grade filtration won’t. i’d recommend a sebo or miele.

I came here to say Miele and the realised then saw all the comments confirming this. They are the best vacuum cleaner.

I bought a Miele c1 with power head. My house is 80% carpet and I love it. Vacuumed with my old Dyson right before the Miele and was amazed how much better the Miele was. The bag thing is something I quickly got over once I realized how much less my vacuum smells like dog (have 3 dogs and vacuum daily). It holds way more dirt than you realize. My vote is bagged vacuum if you plan on pets or your live an active/dusty life.

I would do a Miele C3 bagged canister vacuum with power nozzle or a Miele C1 bagged canister vacuum with power nozzle. Miele’s are unbeatable. You can’t go wrong with Miele! 😊

I treated myself to one 15 years ago and it's still going strong; have never even needed it serviced. Mine is one up from the basic cheapest model. I forget but yeah I think I paid $500-600. We'd recently gone through many lower cost vacs and we were ready for a more BIFL product. I bought it for myself for my 45th bday. We stayed at a rustic AirBNB camp that had a Miele from the 70s. The cord no longer retracted, but it still worked great. Even with sucking up dried leaves twigs dirt and gravel on the daily. I'll mention we also have some robots and a stick vacuum; those were found on the curb and my husband refurbished them. I vastly prefer the Miele, but it's nice to have options. The stick is good for quick cleanups, the robots are good for extending the time between deep vacuuming.
