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

water does not filter very well as bubbles pop and unfiltered dust shoots through, get a miele or Sebobagged vacuum

You’re in the states we have rainbow water Vacuums until the last 20 years when they put HEPA filters on them they had a horrible filtration. I have a device that I can test that with. sorry I meant until they put the HEPA exhaust filter on them. They were very bad filtering.

I’m not sure what brands you have in Europe and I was thinking of a canister style Miele or SEBO

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.

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.

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.

With 3 finished floors across 1,500sf, the D4 is overkill and you'll hate moving it up and down stairs. The Sebo E3 and K3 or Miele Classic C1 are more portable. The K3 has the same 25' cord as the E3 and the bag is .8g vs .9 on the E3. As others recommended, you might be better off with a pure suction machine and turbo tool for the rugs.

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.

If it's hard floors on the Miele c1 pure suction (gray)would be great for the floors. Or, potentially the Miele c1 Turbo (blue). You can get the pure suction for like $249 on sale. I think the turbo you can get for $350 on sale.
