Classic C1 Junior PowerLine - SBAF3

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.

Go with the Miele C1 PowerLine and add the STB305-3 turbobrush. Its simple, strong, bagged, and wont choke on hair or cat fur. Works great on hardwood too. If you spot that combo, thats the one.

Don’t bother with cordless or Dyson. Grab a meile bagged vacuum, then come back here 6m later and thank us for the suggestion

Seconded! I think mine is the C1 maybe? Ive had it a few years now with no issues. Was going through sharks within a year before the meile.

I've learned that over the years. We started out with Dyson and they didnt last much more than a year, so shark was the next attempt because of the price difference. We have dogs and cats and I vacuum constantly. So far the Meile is the best vacuum I've ever owned. My only complaint is I'm cheap and didn't get one with an electric carpet brush. Ours is air driven and it can be a real arm workout in the few rooms we have that are carpeted.

Miele C1 or C3 canister. Way more power, built to last, eats pet hair. Game changer for rugs.

I have a Miele C1. Can’t remember exactly how long ago we’ve bought it, but if I said 15 years, I wouldn’t be lying. We have no pets and all wood floors. It’s super quiet with its variable speed control. Light weight making it easy to carry. Compact size. Auto retracting power cord reel. Low profile floor brush attachment. Onboard tool storage.
