Classic C1 Junior EcoLine - SBAP3

My 2 cents for corded vacuums is wattage doesn't mean better. I had that 2400W for a couple days and the design of the HEPA filter housing was a weak point. Yes it's powerful, powerful enough to bow the filter to let out all the fine particles back into the room. Which is a shame. It was like the extra power exposed All the design flaws that the Anko/HE group vacuums seem to have. I did like the pet fitting though. Shelled out for a Miele C1 ecoline (550w). And it's been a way better fit for purpose vacuum. Way quiter (anko 2400w was like a jet), the bags are a better air filter, plus you can put a HEPA filter on it too. Sucks like a champ, I was crazy surprised with how it performed. Like on full with an empty bag it's almost hard to move on carpet.. you have to turn it way down to do a rug. Downside is buying bags. But as a household with dust allergies plus two dogs.. totally worth it. So yeah, design is better than pure power consumption rating. Opinion of one. YMMV.

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.

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.

Former Saint Bernard owner here who now does dog boarding and doggy daycare. First off do not buy a Dyson. I got a Miele canister vacuum and I’m super happy with the purchase. I got the entry level one that was around $500 at the time. My only real complaint is I wish the cord had maybe 10 more feet, but it’s fantastic otherwise.

Wow, that’s an amazing price for a Miele. Our first one was a small basic model that lasted over a decade but needed a new cord that was almost as much as it cost new 20ish years ago. We replaced it with a top of the line model and that was around $1500 maybe 8 or so years ago. I want to say the updated version of it is now $1800 which would be $2000, give or take a bit, once sales tax is added. Someone could literally fly to Germany, buy a vacuum, and fly back with the box being checked luggage and it would still be cheaper than buying it here. It’s not tariffs though, it’s been the same price for at least two years with little change.

Get ahead of the curve and brush often. The left and right handed spikey rubber mits work great. I try to brush outside in the wind or with fan so it into yard for the birds. Now if doggo can accept direct vacuum, even better. That said, Miele Classic is strong vacuum with adjustable motor speed so you could start with lower settings.

Depends if you want a powered brush for carpet/rugs, c1 very short cord, so c3 or new guard series in miele or k or e series on sebo, e3 has powered head, e2 includes a torbo air powered head for rugs , and e1 just straight suction
