Miele - Classic C1 Turbo Team PowerLine

keep in mind a bagless vacuum will move that dust dander into the air, better off leaving it on carpet or floor, get something with good filter bag like a miele c1 with turbo if a cannister is doable

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

I’ve sold Miele for over 25 years. I’ve never seen that before. Why don’t you just let them give you another hose

If you get a Miele that won't happen

Miele turbo c1 blue one I bought it happy with it

Canister vacs come in a variety of prices based on accessories and if the vacuum has a power nozzle or straight suction. Straight suction vacuums are cheaper because there are no electrical connections in the hose or wand. Based on your budget and bare surfaces, a pure suction canister with an air driven floor attachment should work (the medium pile rugs might bog it down). Sebo K2 Turbo or a Miele C1 Turbo Team are two solid choices. A Sebo Felix is a worthy upgrade (the Dart's big brother). It's a more capable model, but more expensive. The Black Friday discounts are known at your local dealer, pop in and see what models they have on sale.

Did you mean CX1 instead of C1? The C1 is bagged and has a replaceable Hepa filter.

No. The M1 Cat & Dog is a suction only machine, it does not come with a power nozzle. The attachment it includes is an air driven turbo and the package no longer includes the handheld mini turbo tool. We have bare floors and wool rugs on the main floor and use the C3 with the SEB 228 power nozzle. C3 models like the Kona, Cat & Dog, HomeCare, and Marin. The Miele Classic C1 is your entry-level option with a power nozzle and should be discounted still at your local dealer. We have two very active Corgis that bring in mud, leaves, fur, etc., especially now that we have rain and snow. I use the Bona flat mop with microfiber pad and hardwood floor cleaner. For quick cleanups, I grab the Bona mop handle and use the Bona pre-soaked pads for hard wood. I use the basic Bona pet system that includes the tool, dusting mop and micro fiber pad. They also make waterbased cleaning solutions for cleaners that are safer for pets.

Miele an Sebo are the premium canisters due to quality, warranty, and filtration. Of the two, Miele hoses are more flexible. I have both the Sebo E3 and D4, and both hoses are stiff and bulky due to their tapered design. I also have the Miele C3 and prefer it for dusting because Miele makes a larger, fully articulating brush (SUB 20) that works on the ceiling fans and bookshelves. For hard floor cleaning, the parquet twister is my go to, both Sebo and Meile have a version of this attachment. Based on your cleaning needs, a suction only machine will work well. Look at the Miele Classic C1 or Guard M1. Sebo comes in a close second place for portability. Look at the E1 or K2 Kombi and add the parquet twister. If you have a vacuum dealer, go there, the Black Friday discounts will be better and they will give you a package discount for any additional attachments, bags, etc.

Sounds like most of your surfaces are hardwood vs carpet. If the carpet is low pile, you might be able to get a suction-only machine with a turbo floor tool. I recommend limiting your search to bagged models, none of the bagless models will provide the HEPA filtration you need. Are you in or near a city that has a vacuum dealer? If yes, they will assess your needs and work with you (discounts, demonstrations, etc.), its possible to get an entry level upright or canister in your budget and HEPA needs (Riccar Superlite, Miele C1). Most dealers have used models they refurbished at deep discounts from new/MSRP and have HEPA technology. Riccar, Filter Queen, Rainbow, Kirby, Sebo, Miele U1 and many others will meet your budget as a refurbished option.

Another poster said it: Miele C1. The Classic C1 or Turbo C1, both are pure suction machines, no powerhead, and small/lightweight. I'd do a basic C1, then add the handheld turbo tool for the stairs and the parquet twister for the hardwood floors. Miele's new FiberTeQ Allfloor attachment is another option ($100 add on). If you buy from a local dealer, they will discount it or throw in attachments as a package deal.

The Miele C1 with the AllTeQ floor attachment is a good pick for your situation. The AllTeQ has retractable bristles for bare floors and low pile carpets. The on board tools will help with dusting, upholstery and cleaning crevices. I have three Miele's and they are dependable machines that perform well. When you get back to the states, the C1 will continue to serve you well.

Both are excellent choices, go to the store and test drive them. The Sebo K2 is the only SEBO Canister that has an optional Hepa filter, so it is a direct competitor to the C1. Both vacuums are durable and designed for years of reliable service. The Sebo warranty is longer, expendables such as bags (yes they have a cap to seal in dust when you change them) and filters are cheaper, and Sebo premium parquet floor attachment is an excellent tool for bare floors. Both brands have the same parquet twister which is also an excellent bare floor attachment.

Miele c1 pure suction (for hard flooring with very few rugs and no carpet) or the Miele c1 turbo team (for if you have more rugs). Both are less than $400 currently due to Black Friday sales.

That is not true. The Miele c1 pure suction for 319.20 currently is cheaper than it was on Amazon. I know because I've been looking for a few days.

The turbo team one at $399.20 is also cheaper than they were previously so I'm not sure where you saw them for that cheap.

Check out a Miele C1 turbo team, Sebo k2 turbo or Henry xtra. Use the turbo head on your rug. The Miele and Sebo have cord rewind, but the Henry doesn’t. All 3 are excellent options though as long as you don’t plan on having wall to wall carpets or more rugs/thicker pile rugs over the next 20 years or so.

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

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.

No - regardless of what the marketing department tells us - the turbo is only for a small low pile area rug or two. Since you have carpeting you need a powerhead.

If the rugs are low pile. The C1 turbo team (or since you’re in the UK you probably have the new models, I forget what the equivalent is)

All wood floor - if the stairs are a low pile runner, you can do a Miele C1 turbo team, Sebo k2 turbo or Henry extra. If the stairs are anything other than low pile you may want to look at a Miele C1 cat and dog. With all that dog hair this might be the way to go tbh.

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.

Miele, Sebo or Lindhaus. Check out r/vacuumcleaners

This is the answer! You can still get a Miele for only hard flooring.

Agree with J3ttf! The Miele is a worthy splurge!

Miele, Sebo, Henry, Lindhaus. Shark and Dyson are garbage. Check out r/vacuumcleaners

You want to ask r/vacuumcleaners. Miele or Sebo is the correct answer. Corded and bagged. Safely ignore any shark or Dyson recs. Find a local dealer and take a few Miele’s and sebos for a test drive. Specifically the Sebo dart if it’s mostly for carpet.

This is one of those times when Costco is not your friend. Yes they'll take it back after you inevitably find some reason to not like it or feel it doesn't work as well as the minute you unboxed it. But they don't usually sell good vacuums. Well, they do sell Miele in Canada so that should be your signal that Miele is ok. If you have 100% bare floors aka wood/tile/vinyl, no wall to wall carpet, a few throw rugs I'd suggest a straight suction canister. Miele C1 Turbo or similar with both regular and turbo floor brushes. Use the parquet brush for wood/tile, turbo brush for rugs. Every 10 minutes or so you'll need to remove the wand/brush from the hose and use the hose to vigorously clean accumulated/stuck hair and lint from the brushes. There is not a vacuum on the planet that does not require some effort on the part of its owner. If you want to go really cheap you could get a Eureka Mighty Mite which is just about as powerful as the Miele (make sure it's 1200 watts, there seem to be some variants) but has some IMO manageable negatives. No bumpers so you have to watch where you drag it-bonus it's small and easy to maneuver. Hard floor tool and crevice tool are probably fine. Dust/upholstery brush is garbage and should be replaced with separate horsehair versions ($10 each max). Upholstery tools with red directional fabric work well too for lint and hair. You'd need to buy a turbo tool such as the Wessel Werk tk 286. Eureka tools are standard 1-1/4 inch (32mm) friction-fit so replacements should be the same and easy to find. It's not as well sealed as the Miele and no hepa filter though I've read some people hacking the rear port to add a filter. But if you buy genuine Eureka bags and replace them before they get jammed full you should be fine. Finally no automatic cord rewind so you'll have to wind the cord on the bottom of the machine. I prefer this because cord rewinds break. This is a $200 option. IMO even if you buy an upright a second vacuum like this is great for above the floor cleaning.

Hi it shouldn't as it has only nylon brushes dragging on the floor. No plastic wheels or edges. I actually prefer horsehair brush tools as the hair is softer than nylon and doesn't ever twist or deform like nylon inevitably does, especially if you fail to clean out the hair from the bristles. Don't use the turbo brush on bare floors though, it'll pick up some stuff, but also just toss grit around. It does have wheels though I believe they're rubberized so shouldn't scratch UNLESS you drag the wheels sideways in which case they're no longer functioning as wheels but instead as skids.

I live in a 1,700 square foot townhome - first floor is hard flooring and the second floor is all carpet. The carpet in my house is a typical contractor grade carpet that you find in the US with a low to medium pile and low density. I also have a Siberian Husky, so I have to deal with a lot of dog hair pretty much year round. I have both a Miele C1 Classic Turbo and a Dyson Ball Animal Origin. The Miele really excels at cleaning the hard floors, furniture, stairs, and tight to reach areas. Where as the Dyson really excels at cleaning the carpet, especially in the bedrooms where space is a bit tighter than the open floor plan on my fist floor. The Miele C1 Classic Turbo comes with the TurboTeQ head which can be used on carpet. And I find that it actually works really well - maybe even better than the Dyson in some ways. That being said I find that they Dyson is just easier to use on the carpet and in the bedrooms. Given your budget of $850 I would suggest that you purchase a Miele Classic C1 Pure Suction (hard floors only) for $319 on Amazon and a Dyson Ball Animal Origin (carpet only) for $329. Neither of these vacuums are perfect IMO, but together they make the perfect combination as you can use each for the task that they excel at. If you wanted to you could go with the Miele C1 Classic Turbo and the Dyson Ball Animal Origin which is the combination that I have. The C1 Classic Turbo comes with TurboTeQ head so you could use it on carpet if you wanted to. Price for that would be $399.

I was lead to believe the same thing you were. I purchased the Miele C1 Classic Turbo with the understanding that it would more or less be useless on the carpet. But I decided to try it anyway and really do not see what the issue is... If you had really dense or high pile carpet I could foresee it being an issue. But that is really not common in the US. I think that the folks that are pushing that powered head are vacuum sales people that are dealing with a different client base. And I could foresee that client base having very dense or high pile carpet.

In your case, since the rugs are thin, the optional air-driven brush may be sufficient. It's called the "turboteq". You might look at the C1 turbo team as a good middle ground. It comes with the turboteq and a better hard floor only brush, where the classic c1 pure suction has a combination tool. Otherwise the turboteq can be bought separately and fits most mieles. And for the couch, the mini turbo head would be a good addition as well. Though I don't think it comes as standard with any of them. The main reason I advice people with pets to get the motorized brush is the additional brush torque and the larger diameter brush is less likely to get tangled. But if you dont mind keeping the brush clean, the turboteq route would save a lot of money.

To answer your specific questions: 1. No, the tools fit pretty easily to the c1 and I find it easy to use for furniture. It's much lighter and less bulky than the Kenmore hose handle since it doesn't have all the electrical wiring and switches running through it, needed to run the kenmore's motorized head and provide the handle switch controls. 2. I've seen some versions of the 600 in blue I think, though it might require some shopping around as I think it's retailer depended. The one I see avaliable most widely is the purple one. 3. The Kenmore 600 has the benefit of a motorized power nozzle making it better on carpet than the miele C1 turbo team or pure suction models. But it also does include a dedicated hard floor brush making it suitable for hard floors. More on this later. 4. Pet hair wise, both will be about equal on hard floors, sweeping up hair pretty quickly and the hard floor brushes can be kept clean bu detecting the suction hose and running the nozzle back and forth across the brushes to looses and suck the hair off. On carpet, the Kenmore has an edge. The motorized brush has more agitation and brushing ability, it can lift hair out of medium and thicker carpets more easily, and since it is driven by a motor its less prone to getting tangled up and slowing down. The miele turbo head works fine on lower pile carpets, but air driven brush heads usually don't handle large amounts of pet hair well and usually require more maintainence. Overall, the miele has higher quality rubberized wheels and better quality brushes on it's hard floor brush. The Kenmore is still good and shouldn't harm your hard floors either, but if it were me I'd feel better about the miele. With that said, if you want the best of both worlds, the Miele C1 cat&dog has the good quality wheels and hard floor brush, plus a very good motorized power head which works great on all types of carpet and deals with pet hair excellently. But it is more expensive. If you want to prioritize hard floor care and ease of attachment use, go with the miele turbo team. If you don't mind a bulkier and clunkier machine which is more capable on carpets, get the Kenmore. If you want the best of both and can splurge, c1 cat&dog.

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.

The airstorm, while good, is no better than a miele or sebo. I wouldn't pay the premium. Mieles and sebos are also sealed to trap dust. They are also more modern in design and easier to use (they have cord rewind while the air storm does not). There's nothing really bespoke about the airstorm. Underneath the top shell, the power nozzle is the same as ones avaliable for Miele models. The hose and other tools are generic off-the-shelf supplies etc. While it would probably last you a long time and do a good job, you might resent using it. I'd strongly suggest you try one in person before choosing, and frankly I'd save money and go with a nicer to use miele/sebo.

For under $500: - Stick vac: Dyson V8 (refurb) or LG A9. they're solid on both floor types. - Canister: Miele C1 Turbo Team..great suction, built to last. - Robot: Dreame L20 or Roborock Q Revo (if on sale). mop + vac, set it and forget it.

Miele is really good imo

Miele’s is really good, but stick wins for speed and convenience. Honestly, keep both. I think you can use them for different purposes

Definitely the Miele!
