Complete C3 HomeCare PowerLine - SGFE0

For carpeting the C3 multi surface will not cut it. That’s really only meant for a couple small, low pile area rugs. You will be disappointed in this machine on your carpet. You need an electric powerhead (the multi surface uses an air driven turbine head). The cheapest Miele or Sebo model with an electric powerhead (that works well on stairs) starts with the C1 Cat and Dog. Which is a great option for you. Although it’s slightly over the multi surface price point. And depending on your home size, you may find the cord to be short. The Next cheapest is the Sebo K3. You could do an upright Sebo dart, but stairs are going to be a challenge with that. It’s still doable with the turbo handheld attachment.

Ugh that product selector is terrible. No the pure suction would be terrible for a house with carpeted rooms. You need a C1 cat and dog at a minimum. IMO the C3 Homecare would be ideal because the cord is longer which better suits a home your size, onboard storage is a plus. And a longer warranty. They’re only sold at dealers, so find one locally and take it for a test drive. I’d also add a Sebo k3 or e3 to your short list as well. The 10 year warranty puts Miele’s to shame and the cleaning performance is basically the same. (I say this as a Miele C3 owner myself)

C3 Calima has an air driven turbo head - it will not suffice for carpeted rooms. Definitely the C1 cat and dog or a C3 Homecare (way more $$ but you may appreciate the longer cord, onboard tool storage and longer warranty) Honestly the best bang for your buck is a Sebo K3. It has mostly all of the benefits of the C3 Homecare (with an even longer warranty) for a few hundred less and it’s every bit as good (arguably better) than a Miele. (I say this as a Miele owner) Do you have a Miele or Sebo dealer nearby? Stop in and take all the above for a test drive.

Does not exist. Regardless of what marketing departments try to sell us - What you’re looking for is 3 separate pieces of equipment. 1) Dry, corded and bagged primary vacuum for weekly deep clean: Miele C1 Cat and Dog, Miele C3 Homecare, Sebo K3, dart/felix, e3 2) Cordless/bagless stick for quick daily messes: LG A9 or Bissell airram 3) The gold standard for wet cleaning: A good old mop and bucket. The combo machines are a joke and will be in the trash within a year or two. Put the blinders on, ignore the marketing hype, go with what is tried and true.

I think what you’re looking for is a 2 vacuum solution. A cordless/bagless just isn’t up to the task of whole home cleaning. We’ve been oversold on their capabilities by large marketing budgets. Grab a Cordless/bagless stick for quick daily pickups: LG A9, Bissell airram or Miele triflex Then, get a corded and bagged machine for your weekly deep cleans. All of the corded models are bulletproof and should last you 20+ years. Which model largely depends on your budget and preference. Miele C3 Homecare, Sebo k3, E3 or Felix IMO I’d find a Miele/Sebo dealer locally and test drive the above.

You’ve done a good amount of legwork to get to this point. IMO go to your local Miele/Sebo dealer and test drive the C1 cat and dog, C3 home care, Sebo K3/E3/D4 to see which you prefer. From a repairability standpoint Sebo edges out Miele and they also have a longer warranty (I say this a Miele owner) but there really isn’t a wrong option between The two brands.

I wouldn’t seriously consider a Dyson. You’re on the right track with Miele and Sebo with your budget you’ll have plenty of options. Canister vs upright is personal preference. Since you’re undecided I’d find a local Miele/Sebo dealer and take the following for a test drive to see which you prefer. (That said, I’m a total canister convert. They’re very light in the hand and great for above floor cleaning and stairs, but there is a learning curve for sure.) Sebo dart, Felix, K3, E3 Miele C1 Cat and Dog, C3 Kona or C3 Homecare All of these will require minimal maintenance. A bag change every time it’s full (usually every 3 months or so) and motor filters once a year. That’s IT. These are nothing like bagless machines which require cleaning/messing with every other vacuum session.

Personally I wouldn’t get another cordless bagless as your primary vacuum. They’re not up to this task (regardless of what marketing departments tell us). Ideally you want 2 vacuums. 1) cordless bagless for quick daily messes: LG A9 2) corded and bagged primary weekly deep clean vacuum: Look at a Miele C1 cat and dog, C3 Homecare or Sebo K3/E3

1 vacuum can definitely handle all flooring types. It’s going to be corded and bagged. Check out: Miele C1 cat and dog, Miele C3 Homecare, Sebo K3/E3/dart/felix IMO find a local Miele/Sebo dealer and take the above for a test drive. Depending on which model you pick, you’d have enough budget for a quick daily mess cordless vacuum and keep the corded vac for weekly deep cleans. That’s the best setup imo.

Well, no offense - if you have carpets you bought the worst Miele for your use case. You want something **bagged**. It requires no cleaning. Just a new bag when it’s full (2-3 months) and new filters annually. That’s it. So a Miele C1 cat and dog, C3 Homecare or Sebo K3 or E3. Miele is currently closing out their current lineup so you can definitely get a deal on outgoing models (which imo are better than the new ones)

Knowing you have a few rugs and one is shaggy (those are tough for any vacuum FYI) I’d lean towards a Miele C1 cat and dog. You’ll want the electric powerhead imo. Or if it’s a larger home look at a C3 Homecare.

Miele C3 Homecare or Sebo K3, E3 or D4 is the correct answer. Find a local Miele/Sebo dealer and take them all for a test drive.

I’d look at the Miele C3 Homecare if they still have it, or Sebo K3 or E3. No wrong answer, they are all excellent. The biggest difference is Sebo’s longer warranty. Find a local dealer that sells both ideally and take them all for a test drive to see which you prefer.

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.

Don’t overpay for a rainbow. You can get a Sebo d4 or Miele C3 for less than half. For allergies you want something corded **and bagged**. Find a local Miele/Sebo dealer and give those a try. Which exact model depends on your 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.

*Cordless* Vacuums are disposable. **Corded and bagged** vacuums like a Miele or Sebo will last you 2 decades or longer. Ask r/vacuumcleaners

Miele, Sebo or Lindhaus. Check out r/vacuumcleaners

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

Agree with J3ttf! The Miele is a worthy splurge!

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.

I own both, and would have a hard time deciding if I could only keep one. They both have excellent suction and work great, but there are (personal) plusses and minuses to each. If you can go to a vac store and see them demonstrated in person that would be the way to go. Good luck!

Odd, because their website claims in bold print that they are the west coast's largest AUTHORIZED Sebo dealer. They have been in business since the 1950's and have excellent customer service. I have purchased a Sebo and a Miele from them and have been very pleased. (They even sent me a t-shirt that says "Business has sucked for 75 years!!" My son wears it.)

The electro brush is motor powered and only needed if you have high‑pile rugs or wall‑to‑wall carpet. The Turbo Brush is powered by suction which is perfect for area rugs. The C3 Calima is what comes to mind when I think of your needs is on sale right now https://amzn.to/451F17T The C1 is good, but with the C3 you get a longer cord, better suction control and a gentler parquet head for the hardwood floors.

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

Depends on the form factor you want. If you want an upright, I'm seconding the other guy and the kenmore intuition for ~280 cad. If you want a canister, I think you can get a Miele C3 Multi Surface for like 450 cad in several stores, at least in Ontario. Comes with 3 heads including a dedicated hard-floor head, but only a turbine head for rugs/carpets, which should be fine for rugs, but it's hard to use for anything higher than medium pile carpet(like >1cm thick carpet).

Go to Costco and buy the Miele c3 multi surface, it’s going to be replaced with a new vacuum soon so expect it to clear out It is right now $399 online down from $469

With only hardwood and vinyl, you could look at the Miele Complete C3 Multi Surface that’s right at the top of your budget. Should tick all of your boxes perfectly for the next 20+ years. https://www.costco.ca/miele-complete-c3-multi-surface-care-canister-vacuum.product.4000176316.html The SEBO K2 Kombi’s a little cheaper at $449 CAD, but doesn’t include as many floor heads as that particular Miele. Top-tier longevity and build quality though. https://sebocanada.ca/products/sebo-airbelt-k2-kombi-canister-vacuum The Simplicty Jill comes in at only half the price of the Miele/SEBO canisters, but is more of a budget machine in terms of longevity/build/quality of life features. Still, it’ll clean hard floors just as well as anything else. https://www.vacuumdistrict.ca/shop/simplicity-jill-canister/ (not necessarily recommended these specific stores/sites, would recommend shopping around for whoever has the best deal on these particular vacuums)
