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.
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.
OP didn’t mention the performance at all on their post. 🤣🥴 Glad you find your vacuum sexy and ergonomic. Meanwhile the rest of us Miele and Sebo owners will enjoy the actually clean floors and exhaust air being cleaner than what is sucked in.
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
This was my first adult purchase (+$600) towards home goods/cleaning which happened to be around pre-Christmas with a Bed Bath & beyond coupon. The coupon clearly stated this was one of the brands that weren’t applicable but somehow it still worked towards my C2. The vacuum is going on for almost 10yrs and I might bring it in for its first tune-up just because. I love my Miele!
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.

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.
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.
