Complete C3 Calima

Yes they have. I loved my C3 but accidentally broke it. The replacement, Guard, is a downgrade in almost every way. I wish I had bought a Henry.

There are bigger differences between the Calima and and Marin than just the light. The Marin has a motorized brush with a larger diameter more powerful brush roller. It can handle up to deep pile carpet and is very good for all kinds of carpet. The Calima uses only an air driven brush roller, which is much less powerful. It's only suitable for thin rugs and doesn't handle large amounts of hair well. The Marin is a more future-proof choice in case you get carpets and pets later. The calima, as delivered, is not compatible with motorized brush heads. Sebo k3 is another good option, it also has a motorized brush head while being smaller than the C3s. If quality and longevity are important, go with a canister. The sebo and mieles can easily last 15-20 years. Dyson themselves state that the average cordless stick vac lifespan is only 2-5 years. That's a lot of money for a short lived product. Wanting a stick vac as a quick supplementary device is understandable, and the best way IMO is to have a good quality corded vac plus a more mid range priced stick vac for smaller jobs.

Unusual, the miele c3 has more suction than any cordless vac and with the electrobrush head has better agitation than the dyson for carpets. Maybe it's a preference thing or something with your specific rugs. Sometimes vacuums just don't work on certain rugs because of the shear number of variations.

Sebo or miele if you want something high quality which will actually last 15+ years and be repairable should a part wear out. They have high performance and filtration standards. The shark is fine for 3 to 5 years with decent performance. The dyson, being cordless, you should only expect 2-4 years. And it won't have the performance of the others unless used on it's highest but shortest runtime mode. Kinda comparing apples to oranges here. If you need something immediately the shark is probably ok, but if you want something to last definitley go check out miele and sebo.

I picked up a secondhand c3 calima that comes with the TurboTeq head and the parquet attachment. Check eBay. I got mine for $400

Also vacuum the air purifier. The bottom of mine gets gross very quickly. The Miele is great. I think mine is the Calima and it’s been amazing. It’s very strong suction and the bags make it easy to not be reexposed to the dust (like with a bag less model.) also I’d make sure to find the sealed version of whatever canister vac you get.

Yep that's why I put "some of" I've only seen one Kirby and fuck dragging that about the house for the same suction as a 5kg Miele :)
