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.
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.
