Classic C1 Pure Suction

surprised not to see [Miele c1](https://productbible.com/blog/best-vacuum-cleaners#miele-classic-c1) at #1, that seems to be the one constantly being recommended here

What pile are your rugs and how big? Ask your parents what is more expensive - a new vacuum every 3-5 years. Or 3-4 bags a year ($5/ea) that Miele should last you 15-20 years with proper care. Uprights aren’t really meant for hard flooring either. Do you guys have a Miele dealer nearby? Take one for a test drive. Seeing is believing imo. It’s hard to put into words how quiet and powerful they are.

What pile are the area rugs and how big? A turbo team is never a bad idea with rugs. But the pure suction is on a great sale right now. You can always add the turbo head later if you want better cleaning performance on rugs. A Sebo k2 kombi or k2 turbo is also worth looking at. Same with a Henry 160 or xtra

100% hard floors = simplicity Jill. Or a Miele C1 Pure Suction (upcoming sale will put it at $279 and is absolute worth it)

Miele C1 Pure Suction, Sebo k2 Kombi or Henry 160. If you plan on getting another low pile rug anytime soon, look at the turbo versions of the above.

Yes I’d definitely avoid cordless/bagless. They’re junk for the most part. What kind of budget are we talking? A Simplicity Jill is a great budget option if your rugs are very low pile. You can always add a wessel werk TK286 if you need more cleaning power for the rugs. Check out a Miele C1 pure suction or turbo team as well.

You’re on the right track. Miele C1 pure suction or Sebo k2 kombi since you only have rugs. You can always add a turbo floor head later if needed. See if you have a local dealer so you can test drive them before buying. Btw your wool rugs sheds like crazy because your Dyson was likely destroying it.

Avoid Dyson and shark. Honestly you want something corded and bagged if you want it to last and actually clean well. For the price of a V7 you can get an excellent Miele C1 pure suction. It’s in an entirely different league than these crappy box store brands.

Miele C1 Pure Suction without a doubt. It’s corded and bagged which is the gold standard. Once you get some rugs (keep them low pile) grab Miele’s turbo floor attachment.

Miele C1 pure suction. Short of that, simplicity Jill.

For all hard floors and hair, you want a vacuum without a brushroll. Check out the Miele C1 pure suction, Sebo K2 kombi or Henry 160. And if you find it’s not working well on your carpet/rug you can always add the turbo head.

No carpets or rugs? Miele C1 Pure Suction without question and about $650 in your pocket.

Check out r/vacuumcleaners As mentioned Miele and Sebo are top brands. You can safely ignore any shark or Dyson recs. They’re garbage. As is anything bagless.

Vacuum wars is a paid shark shill and not to be trusted. Hell Chris even appeared in a shark commercial. BIFL vacuums absolutely exist. They’re corded and bagged made by brands like Miele and Sebo.

*Cordless* Vacuums are disposable. **Corded and bagged** vacuums like a Miele or Sebo will last you 2 decades or longer. Ask r/vacuumcleaners

99% of all vacuum advice questions especially in this sub will lead back to “Get a Miele or Sebo.” In your case I would look at Miele in particular as they have their own line of cordless vacuums which I feel you could really enjoy, even if others may not recommend them, (if you go this route get a Triflex not a Duoflex). As well as their more budget friendly canisters are incredible for hard floors, a Classic C1 Pure Suction or Turbo Team, or C3 Calima (depending on budget and preference) would all be excellent and enjoyable options.

Vacuum mop combos are good but they won’t survive any longer than others unless you use a normal vacuum on the floor beforehand. Tienco makes good mops but you should also look at a canister vacuum to clean your floors beforehand, A miele c1 is always a safe and great option at a low price.

Miele C1 is basically a perfect option for what you’re describing besides cordless, which if you get cordless you loose the ability to get basically anything else you mentioned. Usually I recommend Sebo canisters too but their bags don’t automatically seal like Miele, which usually isnt a problem but you have special health factors with you breaking out in hives so its a bonus, generally though a bagged canister will be good, when a health factor is involved it always should take priority over a convenience factor, it just so happens that bagged fills every other requirement too.

Then a Miele Classic C1 Pure Suction would be an amazing pick!

A Miele Classic C1 Pure Suction or NaceCare Henry 160 are both great quiet vacuums for hard floors.

miele is like a bmw but they do have an entry model thats like a honda, i would check out the [c1](https://www.amazon.com/Miele-Classic-Suction-Canister-Graphite/dp/B07P97CD5T?&linkCode=ll1&tag=davidcollin0b-20&linkId=1aa0bf91b07c3e2204e8fa044dc7d1f7&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl), really good suction, reliable af, something you can count on for years.

If you have the money and return window, ditch the eureka and get the Miele C1 classic pure suction for under $350 (ideally from a vacuum store). If you go to a vacuum store ask about the c1 homecare model. It'll have a better warranty and come with more tools.. and Mieles tools are quite nice. The mite is way too loud for me to use comfortably for more than a minute even. The Miele is quieter, stronger, has more suction levels for delicate tasks, and filters amazingly (especially if you get the HEPA). No contest. But what's that other 30%?

Well if you want a quiet vacuum, (the quietest to be specific) your option is the Miele C3. The Miele c1 is marginally louder but still quieter than a Sebo. Both are quieter than any Dyson lmao (those things are crazy loud and they don't even tune their motors to offload the whine behind our scope of hearing). The Miele c3 on max is quieter than a Dyson on normal. So the cheapest option would be the Miele c1 classic pure suction. The nicest option would be the c3 gala edition. Both are hard floor only machines, but the build quality of the c3 really speaks for itself. If you're iffy about spending so much on a Miele, try visit a local vacuum store with mieles. They'll be happy to let you try them out and Miele dealers will always sell lower than online listed MSRP. You'll also hear firsthand how much quieter they are. Technically speaking, all bagless machines will be pretty loud bc they don't have much soft padding to capture the sounds (bag, nice filter). Cordless machines overall are very loud because their motors are smaller, spinning at a higher speed to generate similar pressure, and those tiny whirring things make a huge high pitched sound, characteristic of any Dyson machine (vacuum, hairdryer, hand dryer). Combine a cordless bagless and you have the absolute worst care scenario for sound dampening. Mieles recently upped their motor rpm while reducing size, but they tune their motors such that the majority of the sound falls above the frequency of our hearing. My cat doesn't seem to hate my Miele so clearly it's not that loud ultrasonic either. Checkout rtings.com for objective measurements but lemme tell you: we've been a Miele family for about 2 decades now. I bought my mom a Dyson v11 thinking it'll be great for the kitchen but she hates it! It's loud, clunky, weak (relatively: it cant rice grains from the corners) and it needs SOOOOO much brush roll maintenance omfg. Huge waste of money tbh. It's still hung in the kitchen but I think they only use it for vacuuming the stairs now (with the electro tool). The Miele canister is obviously better for our cars too. Nowadays, I think the avg active home only needs a bagged corded vacuum, and a robot. There's very little place for cordlesses imo ESPECIALLY as EVs now have power outlets that allow the use of a normal vacuum.. (I have one and my partner still uses it more than I do, but we wouldn't be in need without one. I only bought it bc I found it for a steal not because I wanted a cordless).

Probably the Kenmore bagged canisters. 600 or elite for the ease of use and fingertip controls. Maybe the elite crossover? They're not ultra well built and may only last your business about 5 years, but you have to be gentle on them. Mieles and Sebos will last much longer but you need to spend a little more than 500 for something that's carpet capable. The sebo k3 is their cheapest option tho (from a dealer ofc). The warranties don't apply ofc, but I think sebo might honor 1 year for commercial use? You should check that out. I know many cleaning businesses in my area who use Mieles, from the classic C1 all the way up to the brilliant. It depends what you prefer and what your clients demand. My sister has some carpets but her cleaning person only uses a suction Miele and my sister doesn't care (and the cleaning person does an excellent job). The worst Miele/sebo outperforms most vacuums. Just make sure to buy large boxes of original bags for the bulk discount and to make them last. With any new product, you're going to want to do a quick educational tour of the product with the folks who'll need to use it so they're getting the most out of it and aren't encumbered. And especially so they don't accidentally damage the machine. Commercial machines exist as well, but may not be as convenient and maneuverable for cleaning homes. Canisters are the only option imo for their versatility and reduced fatiguing.

TL;DR: go to a Miele dealer (use their website to find one) buy the C3 homecare+ for full home cleaning, demote the Dyson to quick jobs, never look back. If you have gen5 detect money (and interest) buy the vacuum that made Dyson increase their filtration standard: a Miele. I thought it was funny Dyson did this as it retroactively pulled the facade off of their previous marketing. For the best performance on hard floors you'll want a machine with their parquet twister attachment, it's what made me fall in love with Mieles in middle school. Currently it works like a dream for my kitty and her ways. (And that original one still works for my parents 17 years later). Technically Mieles cheapest machine, the c1 classic, functions just as well on hard floors when using the same tool as their most expensive machine, the c3 brilliant. They have the same motor, use the same bags, and have the same filter media, but the c3s are MUCH quieter, fully sealed, have bigger bag compartments, and store their tools onboard. The c2 models are a happy in between. They're fully sealed, are quieter but not as quiet as the c3, and also have the onboard tools. Contemporary c2s are made in China with German motors. They're just as well built as the German plastic machines. Technically they're better built because Miele innovated on the s5000 shell which became the c2. Having taken apart both, the c2s construction is more like a brilliant than the c1 classic. As of right now, only Mieles c3s are built completely in Germany. All their bagged models use German made motors but the remainder are formed in China. All the bagless models are completely made in China. No knock against Chinese manufacturing, it's excellent obviously, but that's the T with Mieles current production chain for vacuums. I like my first gen triflex even. Because your budget is $600 (medium-high) and you have carpets, that complicates my recommendation: If you're buying a machine you should buy the one that fully encapsulates your use and use it how you like. Don't purposefully buy something that does less when you can use more, and you can afford more. No matter what you buy it'll outlive and outperform the gen 5. A straight suction Miele might even marginally outperform it on your carpets... Then, you have the Dyson Gen 5 vs the v12/15 (which tells me you care about "the best", technology, and convenience physical constraints be damned) which points me to recommend you Mieles top of line canisters: the c3 electro models (Kona, Marin, Brilliant/ homecare, homecare e, homecare +). They come standard with the electro carpet brush and the parquet twister, as well as the HEPA filter. The Marin adds some longevity and QOL electronics like a filter life timer, parking shutoff switch, and auto suction as well as the seb236, Mieles low profile and led-lit carpet brush. The Brilliant, the one I think you should get, has what the Marin has plus fingertip controls & a display. This makes switching surfaces and tools on the fly so much easier. It also kinda obviates the parking switch. You should buy them from a vacuum store, miele dealer, to get the best deal and get the homecare models with the longer warranty and more tools. From a dealer, you can likely get the Kona for $850, Marin for $1100, and brilliant for $1500, but you might have a harder time finding that brilliant deal as it kinda pads the coffers. Like I said, the c1 classic and a parquet twister will get you the same clean, but it's time to demote the Dyson and get a real vacuum as your primary. The Dyson can be used for quick runs and it'll thank you for it (by living longer than 5). Your carpets will also likely thank you for it. Ik I blew past your budget, but it really seems like you can afford it so 🤷🏾‍♂️ Sebos have better warranties, and some like them better, but they're marginally louder, less powerful, and filter less well than a Miele. And when comparing to a c3, Mieles bags & filters are cheaper in their allergy bundle. Mieles also have a better feel in hand... Which is the whole point imo. You can likely try a Sebo wherever you go to buy that Miele homecare+ 😘 so make sure to try it out too. I think Mieles parquet twister and seb236 are better than sebos articulating floor tool or et1. But that's my opinion. The fully in price recommendation for hard floors would the c3 gala or the c2 hard floor. Marginally in budget but all inclusive machine would be the c1 centennial (if you can find it for $650 and buy the parquet twister). Another option, but a little stretch is the c1 homecare with electro brush (only available from Miele dealers). Even an abused Miele will last a decade. Get the nicest one you can afford, take care of it, and have a perfectly clean home for more than 20 years. No joke. Also, your Dyson is leaving stuff in the carpets that an electro Miele will capture. Your first bag will fill fast (as does everyone's unless they already had a Miele/Sebo).

Yeah there's definitely a bunch of sharks out there that are over 10 years old. It's just that there is a higher percentage of them that break down before that. And one thing about bagless vacuums is that they are deceptive, due to the fact that you see the dirt spin, and it whips it up. Shark is not very serviceable, and replacement parts are typically hard to get. If you don't have too much of the way of carpet and rugs, I'd recommend these: [https://www.mieleusa.com/product/11181020/canister-vacuum-cleaners-classic-c1-pure-suction-powerline-sban0-graphite-grey](https://www.mieleusa.com/product/11181020/canister-vacuum-cleaners-classic-c1-pure-suction-powerline-sban0-graphite-grey) [https://www.mieleusa.com/product/12704600/canister-vacuum-cleaners-guard-m1-terra-red](https://www.mieleusa.com/product/12704600/canister-vacuum-cleaners-guard-m1-terra-red) \^\^ For both, I'd add the SBD 380 tool, as it works better on carpet and rugs than the standard tool, and works better for hair on hardfloor. If you have mostly carpet, but it doesn't get super dirty, it can still be a great option. If you have lots of pet hair getting in the carpet, then you'd want an electric powerhead option. For cordless, I'd recommend the Riccar R65.

Find a C2 or C3 model with the SBB 300-3 floor brush. Nothing will clean floors better than that. The newer version of the C2 is the Guard S1. The newer version of the C3 is the Guard M1. The Guard L1 is an entirely new vacuum, and is meant to be a lighter version of the C3 / M1, but the L1 has a smaller bag. Edit: they all filter really really well and are sealed systems, and if you add on the HA50 hepa filter (make sure it’s the genuine one from Miele as it’s H13 hepa) it’s top notch. Edit 2: the compact C1 is a also good choice, just NOT the Classic C1 (also known as S2 which is the older version).

As far as other recommendations go, stick vacs that’s are under $300 are mostly built pretty bad. You can get a Compact C1 Miele for $359 on sale, and it will be a better, miles better, than any stick vac in every category. Just as an FYI

Miele C1 Compact, or Miele Guard S series with a straight air tool (the SBD 380 is miele's hands down best straight air tool, and can be added separately onto any model). Sebo E1 is also a great option. No, they're not the cheapest options, but if you can find one in good shape used, that's something to consider. These things will last typically 15 - 30 years under normal household use - not commercial usage.

See if any vac shops have any used Miele or Sebos with a good straight air tool (you probably don't need a powerhead, but if they have one where the price is right, it could then be an option). They are some of the most serviceable vacuums out there, which is important cause everything breaks at some point, and its nice to be able to fix it. They are also sealed units. You can add different tools later on to any of them, but powerheads can only be added to the electric hose models. Best models to look for would be: Miele Compact C1, C2, C3, or any guard series Sebo E or D series Their other models are still good, those are just the best.

Miele Guard L1, M1 or S1 (L1 is the best moving canister out there). All can be fitted with the HA50 H13 Hepa filter, which will make it the best filtering canister on the planet. Sebo E or D series are another fantastic option! Filtration is very similar, and they are built very well as well. The reason I've recommended options that are above $250, is because HEPA doesn't mean what it should. Lower end hepa filters just bleed dust over time, and units in that price range just aren't sealed units. They may try to claim they are.... they aren't. Some of them exhaust right on the floor, which blows the dust into the air. There is also the Miele Classic C1 series and Sebo K series. They aren't quite as good as the other models (why they are less expensive than them), but they are still much much much better than other vacuums out there.

I'd suggest the Miele C1 Classic, and add on the SBD 380 tool (the 380 tool has no bristles, so it won't clog with hair. It's also lightweight, and can go from hardfloor to rugs - but keep in mind it's not a powerhead). Yes, there is no powerhead with this model, but it's the best build quality vacuum at that price range, and will work wonderfully for pet hair on hardfloor. No canister vacuum (other than a high end big shop vac) has more airflow than that model. The Classic C1 can quite reliably last 10+ years (just don't bash it around completely), and is completely serviceable, unlike most other brands. Miele, and another company SEBO, are if you want serviceable products.

They have 1 rug, so it’s not “rugs”. It also depends if the pets actively go on that rug or not, as I’ve had instances where people have been just fine with a straight air tool in this case (especially with Miele’s new SBD 380 tool). That being said, yes, a powerhead will absolutely the majority of the time clean carpet and rugs better than a straight air tool. I’d happily recommend OP a vacuum with a powerhead, but it’s simply not doable at that price point, unless they want to find something used. And because OP has mostly hardfloor with 1 rug, I felt this may be a suitable recommendation. But of course, if OP says their dogs are rolling around on the rug and it just gets covered with hair and is completely soiled, yeah, a powerhead would be the way to go. Yes, you can get a Kenmore with a powerhead at that price range, but they can be a nuisance to service (most often will be), filtration is not as hepa as it’s claimed to be (non sealed system with low quality hepa filters). So many of them are just clunky to use as well, which are why so many people are transitioning to cordless vacuums. Shark is even worse when it comes to service and filtration. Same with Dyson.
