Complete C2 Hardfloor PowerLine - SFAE0

I have a few vacuums, one being a Sebo E3 and another is a Miele. I also have a Dyson V8 Absolute and I *absolutely* love it. I’ve had this one for a few years and use it almost daily around the kitchen. I recommend that one. It doesn’t have the digital screen, it’s not super heavy on the wrist, and it cleans well. If it were to break or stop working, I’d buy another one. Worth it.

A bagged Miele canister would be a great option. You’re right, there are a lot of options, and the main difference is what type of flooring they can clean. Canisters with powered floorheads that clean carpet well are the most expensive. Any if the following four models would work for you but I would choose the Guard M1 Parquet XL. It’s a newer design and has a good hard floor tool. Classic C1: Best if you want a proven, no-frills Miele vacuum for mixed floors at a lower price. Guard M1: Better choice if you want updated filters, easier controls, integrated tool storage, and a bit more reach and convenience. — Complete C2 Hardfloor PowerLine: Great choice if you want a traditional mid-range Miele with effective tools and don’t mind the older design. Guard M1 Parquet XL: Better for modern convenience, updated filtration, lighter weight, and especially excellent hard-floor cleaning with a wider head.

If you want to protect your hardwood floors, do yourself a favor and invest in a Miele. I’ve had Dyson, Shark, and other brands, the Miele has had no issues, have had it over 10 years now. I have a C2 Complete canister model and use on mostly hardwood floors.

The Miele C2 Hardfloor actually sounds like the perfect model for both of those spaces. If you find that you’ll have some minimal low pile rugs, grab yourself a turbo head later down the road.

C2 hardfloor looks good it has the turbobrush for carpet. Powerhead not necessary.

Mieles are FANTASTIC vacuums but work the BEST for hard floors! Im not sure they even have a powerhead option which is what you're going to want! You want to consider what comes with an air spun carpet attachment vs powerhead vacuum attachments since you have so much carpet! Powerhead will make your life a lot easier! Especially if there's a power pet/upholstery attachment for stairs etc. Basically the difference between the two means the vacuum uses actual electrical power to spin the carpet tool instead of using airflow to spin it - which can be difficult on certain heights of carpet or if your machine and filter aren't super clean Also- look for a bagged vacuum. I know these are becoming less popular but saves so much time on maintenance for your machine and will keep it working better longer! Also battery vacuums can be handy for awkward corners and stuff but I will always choose a corded vs battery vacuum.

I'm joking haha. I have a miele c3 currently, and also have had the older version of what the c2 became, as well as an electrolux. I am very much not a fan of disposable dysons or sharks 😂

I currently have an upright (salsa and before that jazz) and have also had a canister (C2). But dragging it around was far too obnoxious. I’ve been using a shark for 2 years now as I said and I have yet to have to pull it apart. The Miele I just replaced the belt housing and mount on within the last month or 2 and I’ve already had to pull it apart again to yank hair out. So no I won’t have the same issue. Maybe other issues but not the same one. The way belt on the shark works is different. And like I said didn’t have to do it with my ProTeam or Sebo either. The way Miele has the belt an inch into the roll isn’t conducive to long hair I guess. It sucks it into the housing then wraps around the roller gear and eventually the motor gear as well. ***whoops replied from a different device hence the different name***

I got a C2 for around $500 on Costco a few years back. Yes, expensive but it was worth it. Costco return policy helped.

I got a Miele C2 in ~2017 after reading all his AMA’s. Now I’m reminded I need to get it tuned-up for maintenance. The suction is strong as ever but the only downside is buying the vacuum bags which became a pain after I got a hairy dog.

I tried to save a few bucks by getting Amazon dupe cheaper bags and of course, it easily overfilled and exploded the dirt inside the vacuum cleaner. TLDR: buy Miele bags only

Miele, Sebo or Lindhaus. Check out r/vacuumcleaners

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

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.

Agree with J3ttf! The Miele is a worthy splurge!

Agreed with the C1 cat and dog rec (it can do your carpets very well) but I wouldn’t buy from Amazon and I would not recommend the bagless version.

I’d still stick with the C1 it’s made in Germany. The C2 (while still great) is made in China. If you are only using it for hard floor get the C1 pure suction. If you want it to do carpets too, C1 cat and dog.

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.
