"The bag alone does a better job filtering than the whole of any Dyson or Shark. Then it goes through a pre-filter, and then a HEPA or carbon filter. ... The inside of my C3 is basically spotless. I could eat out of it, and I've had it for 8 years, with two dogs."
"I had my Miele C3 for almost a decade and have had 0 issues with it. It will likely last another decade or longer before I give it to my kids or family."

"if u are allergic or have allergic family members miele is the way to go. ... Filtration was the reason for me to pick up my miele c3 as well. ... But for someone who has allergies that difference is very important. ... I prefer finer filtration because we have multiple family members will alergies, to the point where it causes unbearable symptoms."
"The C3 has a complete sealed system which is better than C1 if you have issues with allergies."

"horrifically expensive"
"price of replacement parts is a huge reason i recommend sebo vacuums. ... every time i have to look up a part for a miele vacuum i already know it ’s going to cost 3x-4x what it should."
"SEBO replacement and repair parts are reasonably priced (unlike Miele)."

"I’ve tried my families Miele canister when I lived with them and never got the hang of it. ... How do you manage the canister? We have a small space and based on my experience it seems like I would trip over it. Even when I tried it in a bigger place I still carried the canister around which was super annoying just to not trip on it ... The space is small enough that it has dead ends without enough space to turn around by pulling the canister. Is there a way that same concept can still be applied? We’re talking bedsides with only 1.5’ space, 4’ hallway with a litter box at the end, 5’ kitchen width with dead end."

"The other head without the spinner is fucking ridiculously strong. ... I cannot vacuum a rug with it because it sucks so hard. ... I have to hold one side down with my foot and pull away and it's still hard haha."
"Only if you have a few, small low pile rugs. The turbo head isn meant for carpeting."
"The cheapest ones don't even have a powered head for carpet so they're not good at that."

Yes, die wou ik ook aanraden, top ding! Zakken zijn sowieso erg superieur aan zakloos. Veel makkelijker schoonmaken en nooit gedoe met filters die je zelf nog moet vervangen. Ook een erg ergonomisch apparaat met hoe je altijd de stang er op kan zetten hoe de stofzuiger ook gedraaid is en je kan zowel met als zonder slang elk opzetstuk er op doen.
r/nederlands • Over welke stofzuiger ben jij tevreden? ->Miele Complete C3 Graphite grey on verkkokauppa.com alessa 229€. Eli jos tuon 29€ viitsit joustaa, niin saat hyvän vekottimen.
r/arkisuomi • suosittele imuria! ->Taitaa olla sama Petroolinvihreä kuin mulla :)
r/arkisuomi • suosittele imuria! ->Sama juhlamalli mulla myös, mutta näköjään eri väri.
r/arkisuomi • suosittele imuria! ->Juu, tuli. Tuo curry versio näköjään sisälsi parkettisuulakkeen ja sen ilmaaukon kahvassa, mutta muuten ihan sama härveli. Hyvä imuri kyllä ollut, varsinkin se teleskooppivarsi.
r/arkisuomi • suosittele imuria! ->Miele, Sebo or Lindhaus. Check out r/vacuumcleaners
r/BuyItForLife • What’s the best corded vacuum of 2025??? ->The old ones yes do last more than a couple years. However, New sharks are an absolute joke. Disposable. A well built machine likely won’t have any issues in the first place, but if they do it’s easily repaired. For example I’ve had my Miele C3 for almost a decade and have had 0 issues with it. It will likely last another decade or longer before I give it to my kids or family. What’s your budget and flooring like?
r/VacuumCleaners • Is shark a good choice if I don't plan on repairing my vacuum? ->If you like an upright, stick with an upright. It’s really personal preference - there is no right or wrong answer. But IMO canisters do have some pros that uprights don’t. Canister pros: 1) Better suited for 50:50 or mostly hard flooring. Canisters come with a “straight suction” floor attachment that is ideal for hard flooring (no brushroll) which is what you want. A dedicated tool for the flooring you’re trying to clean. Most uprights don’t have this (sans for a Sebo Felix) uprights make use of an electric powerhead on hard flooring which isn’t ideal - even if it’s shut off and on the hard floor setting. 2) Much lighter in the hand: the motor glides along behind you, so you’re only really holding ~3-5lbs in your hand. Lighter than most cordless sticks! 3) Above floor cleaning: drapes, ceilings, trim, cabinets etc. Many uprights have hoses etc. but it’s just not the same 4) IMO more maneuverable under furniture, in tight corners and in stairs Cons: 1) Learning curve: to some people, it can feel like it’s a “ball and chain” and they trip over the hose and motor. IMO this can be mitigated if you learn to vacuum *in* to rooms rather than backing out of them like a lot of us do with uprights Personally I was an upright fan until I got my Miele C3, it took a few uses. But now I can’t go back to an upright. They feel so heavy and bulky in comparison (IMO, YMMV). Do you have a local vacuum store that sells Miele or Sebo? Stop in and take a Sebo dart, Felix, k3 or e3. Or a Miele C1 cat and dog, C3 Excellence or C3 cat and dog for a test drive to see which you prefer.
r/VacuumCleaners • Explain like I'm five what vacuum to Buy? ->Depends on your form factor preference. Upright or canister. Sebo and Miele are going to be the brands to look at. Canister: Miele C3, Sebo D4 or E3 Upright: Sebo Felix or Dart
r/VacuumCleaners • Best bagged vacuum? ->This is the answer! You can still get a Miele for only hard flooring.
r/VacuumCleaners • Best affordable vacuum in CA ->For 100% hard wood, get the Gala edition. It won’t do any rugs or carpet btw.
r/VacuumCleaners • Which Miele vacuum? They all seem the same! ->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.
r/BuyItForLife • The BIFL Vacuum Market is Annoying Me: help! ->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.
r/BuyItForLife • The BIFL Vacuum Market is Annoying Me: help! ->Agree with J3ttf! The Miele is a worthy splurge!
r/VacuumCleaners • Vacuum on a budget ->I have one for quick messes and love it. It’s the perfect pair to my C3 (thanks to performance reviews for the tip) I believe both those models have the powered attachment point. It’s when it’s called the S194 is when you need to do your due diligence. Worst case, as for a picture of the attachment point. It’s easy to see if it’s electrified or not.
r/VacuumCleaners • Miele H1 Swing?? ->Poetsvrouw hier: ik ben iedere keer weer blij als ik een doodgewone Miele in de kast zie staan! *zo eentje: https://www.miele.nl/product/12435980/stofzuiger-met-zak-complete-c3-125-gala-edition-braambesrood Al die fancy steelstofzuigers doen het m net niet. Of ze zuigen niet alles goed op, of de batterij is leeg voordat je het hele huis hebt gehad, of het reservoir zit vol, error... ik krijg er jeuk van. Gewoon ouderswets met een stekker en een slang + steel met voet die altijd 2 standen heeft.
r/nederlands • Over welke stofzuiger ben jij tevreden? ->If you're looking into buying one, you'd be better of spending 20 euros more on the main editions. https://www.bol.com/nl/nl/p/miele-complete-c3-powerline-stofzuiger-met-zak-marineblauw-incl-comfort-handgreep-125-edition/9300000170220697/?bltgh=jnoay-6Ok6Uum2iul7JDuQ.2_37.38.ProductImage
r/nederlands • Over welke stofzuiger ben jij tevreden? ->Myöskin ääni Mielelle. Kannattaa kattella noiden kodinkoneliikkeiden tarjouksia. Edellinen Miele jostain 12v takaa lähti mökille imuriksi ja se korvattiin Mielen C3 jollain juhlamallilla. Oli n. 150€ alessa verkkiksessä.
r/arkisuomi • suosittele imuria! ->Tää on Mielen 125v juhlamalli. Näyttää kun ois maalattu curryllä :D
r/arkisuomi • suosittele imuria! ->I have long hair. Having long hair, and being lazy here's my best tips: Slightly change how you vacuum: Use the hose/crevice attachment for most of the hair that floats in the corners, not the brush roller (carpet attachment) FIRST. THEN, use the carpet brush. This reduces the amount of long hairs that NEED to be removed with the brush roller. This limits the number of possible tangled in your carpet brush. Secondly... specific to people with long hair... get a vacuum with an easy to clean carpet brush roller. I have a Miele. There's an indented line along the carpet brush where you can run a utility knife and cut through any hair that's gotten tangled extremely quickly and easily. I need to do this once every couple months. Two quick slashes and I'm done without having to remove parts. (Same for Sebo) Many vacuums aren't great at managing long hair by default. A few brands have gimmicky "long-hair-defense" bullshit attachments/features... they are UTTER BULLSHIT. Utterly useless, hard pass. If you see similar phrasing on packaging, just grab your wallet and move along.
r/VacuumCleaners • Looking for a vacuum that can handle long hair without constant cleaning ->I have a Miele C3. I bought at a STUPID good value because I bought gently used and got a TON of attachments with it from the seller. I’ve also bought several of my own attachments…. For that rug.. Miele has something called a Velvet Roller brush floor attachment. It’s technically for hard floors, but I have a similar texture sisal rug and cats. I use the Velvet roller on the rug, on a low to moderate suction. It works really well to get the fur off without beating up the rug with the brush roller. The Velvet roller is meant for hard floors, to polish while vacuuming, but it works well at a low suction on finicky carpets and rugs with unusual texture.
r/VacuumCleaners • Life after a Dyson Outsize ->I have the C3 Cat & Dog (now carpet and pet). If you have allergies, this one has an extra HEPA filter It is TREMENDOUS, and also wonderfully convenient to have everything store inside the vacuum. With the price differential being so small.... get the C3 Carpet and Pet. This one comes with the electric beater bar carpet roller. It will work on hard flooring AND carpet perfectly. the cheaper one for $430 seems to *only have the hard flooring attachment.*
r/VacuumCleaners • Which Miele vacuum? They all seem the same! ->I got my Miele c3 complete for $399 CAD at Costco. Do you have any flexibility in that budget?
r/VacuumCleaners • Good vacuum that doesn't cost a whole paycheck. ->Not sure where you’re located but this one is $480 CAD https://www.costco.ca/miele-complete-c3-limited-edition-canister-vacuum.product.100566578.html
r/VacuumCleaners • Good vacuum that doesn't cost a whole paycheck. ->Miele C3 Gala. Great parquet floor head - Also comes in XL size if standard isn’t enough.
r/VacuumCleaners • Best bagged vacuum cleaner for 300-400 euro ->Thanks a lot! I love your website and use it for everything. I ended up getting the miele complete c3 lol. Completely different from my original post 😂 I'm gonna test it out within the 30 days of bestbuy and see how it holds up. Do you have any other recommendations for long life vacuums in similar range (i paid 500cad on sale for this c3)?
r/VacuumCleaners • Tineco pure one s11 or samsung jet 75? ->Thanks bro! I got this one https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/miele-complete-c3-limited-edition-canister-vacuum-tayberry-red/14446822 Not sure which variant it is tbh lol, they all seem the same to me. I'll see if costco has deals on these in the future. Also, sorry for the questions but one last request. I'm looking at upright vacuums too, which ones do you think are comparable to this miele c3?
r/VacuumCleaners • Tineco pure one s11 or samsung jet 75? ->Yeah these are all similar. They are clearing some vacuums due to new guar series hitting later, Option 1 and 3 are identical models Option 4 is the same model as 1 and 3 just different colour really, deeper sale than usual Option 5 was last gen Costco model similar to option 2. Costco model doesn’t go on sale but stays on the low price year round These models have a stb305 turbo brush , it uses the air flow to spin bristles to pick up hair, for denser / thicker carpet you can rotate the logo and let air in from the top too so the bristles can still spin It’s good for low to medium pile carpeting but if you have wall to wall then something with an electro brush is a good upgrade TLDR, the two to consider are the gala edition due to the low price and the Costco multi surface I would lean multi surface due to having the turbo brush since you have carpet If you didn’t then the gala edition
