Miele - Classic C1 Junior EcoLine - SBAP3

Question for this sub: do people with hard floors (I have stone) get barefoot-friendly perfect surface (i.e. even those tiny microparticles) from vacuuming alone? My robot (Eufy X10 Pro Omni) \*vacuuming\* does not alone perform well enough, but it also has a mop and with it it's perfect. I thought the mop would be a little gimmicky but it's 100% necessary for those last pieces of tiny specks the lower battery-tier suction can't handle. As for the ingrained stains, no vacuum can take that, you need to scrub/mop with manual force anyway.. Recently got a corded/bagged Miele (the new budget line S1 Junior - but the mid-range M1 looked/felt the same in the store), for carpets, upholstery and places where the robot can't reach. Suction is obviously great but I'm not at all impressed with the build quality of the main unit, and especially the plastic lid and inner details - a toddler or a cat could break it if left open. I can assure you even my Chinese robot is better made (the plastic is much higher grade, thick and hard enough to resist surface scratches). I was considering the old C3s but they're literally discontinuing those so I don't get where all the Miele praise comes from. Doesn't matter that the motor is great if you need plastic parts from a 15y old model in the future.

I'm lucky to have a large apt with lots of empty stone flooring and no doorsteps between rooms. There's no way to beat the robot which takes about 5-10 min of prep/maintenance work per cleaning, if you're using manual sweeping. I think a robot is probably not a solution for most people due to apt layout, materials, furniture, pets, kids, etc. But in my case it's a blessing. That leaves me with a secondary, which needs to suck hard (well, in the intended way) from carpet and upholstery like couches. That's why I went with the \~200 Miele. I could pay 4x the price for a premium battery-powered Dyson but I'd get 1/3 of the power. Not that pure wattage is everything, but still. How does yours perform on carpet and upholstery? If I had hard floors, door steps and more stuff in the apt, a high-end battery Dyson could have been my primary. Who knows.

I've had a Miele Classic C1 Junior for the past 9 years. I've found that to be fantastic and I'll probably just buy the same again when it eventually dies.

Miele junior I have it does the job I had 2 bed apt. 2 cats. Wish I had got the pet one it’s a lot more cash but they are worth it! No better hoover imo.

Miele junior c1 I think mine is, it was around 180€ I think the cheapest tbh. I love it, does a great job I have 2 bed apt with 3 pets now. Wish I had got the pet one it’s a good bit more expensive but they are worth it! No better hoover imo.

Any miele or sebo cylinder would be a great choice. Either can be optioned with a dedicated hard floor brush with no brushbar, no wheels even. And the cylinders themselves have soft rubberized wheels. Best all around option for delicate hard floors.

Well firstly if "sleek" looks are important, all you need to do is go look at used bagless vacuums. They look grimy and awful after a few month's use usually. The bins get covered in grime and cloudy. I always found the dyson advertisements amusing where people have them mounted to the wall in the living room, knowing how they look after some use. Ease and cleanliness of maintainence is another point to make. With something like the miele c1, you just throw out the bag when full. They compress the dirt down so they effectively hold way more debris than a bagless vac, then when it does get full, it's clean to dispose of. There's no dust flying around coating the outside of the vacuum itself. The bag acts as the main filter, so you are essentially replacing the filter each time you empty it. This means no filters to constantly bash the dust out of or wash. The other filters on a bagged vac don't get caked with dust, so they only need swapping out occasionally and won't spill dirt all over when removed. Basically, you don't have to think about vacuum maintenance nearly as much, or worry that the vac is losing performance because of some hidden filter somewhere loading up with dirt. And the vacuum itself doesn't end up looking like a dusty mess nearly as much or as quickly. What floor surfaces do you have? The miele c1 lineup is generally pretty good but some models don't handle carpet as effectively.

There are several different ways you could go with this. What would you consider a "long" hose? Smaller carry-able canister type vacs like an oreck shoulder vac could work. Though they aren't hepa, and personally not a big fan of them. Small bags, small motors, bit noisy etc. Slightly bigger machines like a Miele C1 would be great, they are pretty lite but more capable. Hose might not be long enough for leaving the canister on the floor and climbing a ladder to reach high up for example. But for filtration and suction, great choice. Similar in size and characteristics would be a Sebo K or E series machine. A Numatic Henry is a personal favorite of mine for whole house dusting. The hoses are a bit longer than average, the tools are good, and the extention tubes themselves have a nice trick. Unlike most canisters where the curved extension part is the hand grip, and then you place the tools at the end of the straight tube section, with Numatic vacuums you can reverse that. You can put the curved end of the extension at the end with a tool attached while the straight section is what you grasp while cleaning. This gives you the perfect angle for ceiling fans or the tops of moldings and picture frames. Downside with a numatic is the weight and possibly bulk, they aren't very small or lite and might be a struggle to carry around. There are several options as you can see. Depends what you want to prioritize most I think. And side note, I think an extension hose can be bought separately and attached to any of these machines for extra reach if the default length isn't sufficient. Sebo themselves sell an extension hose. Numatic might as well, otherwise I know aftermarket extra long hoses are avaliable for Numatic machines. Miele you'd have to get a little more creative since they don't really sell one themselves, and they use a larger than average diameter. You can get a 35 to 32mm adapter and then attach a genetic extension hose to the miele hose. Only annoying thing is then the miele tools wouldn't fit at the end of the extension hose, so you'd almost need a duplicate attachment set.

I have a 550 watt Miele check my profile it sucks up everything

Miele on täälläkin, joku marketin perusmalli. Moniportainen tehonsäätö, isointa tulee itse asiassa harvoin edes käytettyä. Pölypusseja löytyy. Kun sen vaihtaa, uuden pussipaketin mukana tulee näppärä tarra, jonka pussin suulle lyömällä vältyt siltä pölykontaktilta joka liittyy moneen pölypussittomaan. Mulla on ollut kaksi pussitonta, ja molempien kanssa tulee pölytilaa tyhjentäessä tilanne, jossa kaikki se pieninkin pöly on nimenomaan tyrkyllä.

I own a guest house. Miele corded everyday.

It depends on your house: Robot vacuum: have this if you do not have pets or wet dirts to smear around Cordless Vacuum: tbh I’m having fun with shark, just need to clear it each time I use it but that’s ok, this is for daily, I need this because I have pets and the bunch of attachments are great for furniture etc. Miele C series: good if you can get the parquet tool head. This is good for a major once a week jobs Wet dry: think tineco, some people swear by them, I used them for 1 week and could not stand the smell that lingers if you don’t dry it out right or that I’ve become the vacuum cleaner. I’d have the shark with a stick to use daily or crumbs + Miele C1/Karcher WD1 for when I want a big job done every now and then

We hebben gewoon een standaard miele stofzuiger (dus zo'n ding met een zak) en die gaat volgens mij al meer dan 20 jaar mee.

Can very comfortably recommend Miele. Simple corded vacuum cleaner with a bag like the classic series.
