Miele - Complete C3 Parquet XL

When we got rid of carpeting in our house, with only 1 area rug and some throw rugs left, I bought a cordless Dyson upright, and a Miele hard-floor canister. The Dyson can be used on rugs or hard floors, and has good attachments for furniture, drapes. The Miele has a very large hard floor attachment that fits under most furniture, as well as good attachments.

Mieles are FANTASTIC vacuums but work the BEST for hard floors! Im not sure they even have a powerhead option which is what you're going to want! You want to consider what comes with an air spun carpet attachment vs powerhead vacuum attachments since you have so much carpet! Powerhead will make your life a lot easier! Especially if there's a power pet/upholstery attachment for stairs etc. Basically the difference between the two means the vacuum uses actual electrical power to spin the carpet tool instead of using airflow to spin it - which can be difficult on certain heights of carpet or if your machine and filter aren't super clean Also- look for a bagged vacuum. I know these are becoming less popular but saves so much time on maintenance for your machine and will keep it working better longer! Also battery vacuums can be handy for awkward corners and stuff but I will always choose a corded vs battery vacuum.

Wenn Du soviel Geld in die Hand nimmst: Miele CX - Serie; hat mein Schwager, ist gut. Wobei ich immer noch ein Freund von Beutelsaugern bin, die Beutel bringen einen preislich nicht um (und sind anders als Tintenpatronen nicht gechipt, günstige Drittanbieter also möglich) und sind sauberer. Du kannst die heutigen Staubsauger dennoch nicht mit denen von früher™ vergleichen - die Technik heute ist zwar effizienter, aber an die 2200W - Dinger kommt sie dennoch nicht ran. Quelle: haben einen neuen 890W Miele und einen älteren mit 2200W - der nuckelt wesentlich schneller mit der XL-Parkettdüse (übrigens sehr zu empfehlen) über den Boden.

Anyone have or know of one that is made for soft wood floors? I have looked but have not found any with good reviews. Our new floors are maple and they say no brush only suction. We have a Miele vacuum made for soft wood floors that is great but is corded and a canister so I hate bringing it out.

Yessss especially if you add the hardwood attachment for bare floors!!! It is my favorite vacuum.

I'd go on FB marketplace and buy a used Miele or Sebo or any high-end bagged, canister vacuum. They're so worth it. Imo, bagless vacuums/mainstream vacuums all suck equally. They don't do a good job, cleaning/maintenance is not fun, and they break after a while. But if you can't get a high-end one, I'd just buy any cheap & popular shark/Dyson, they'll be good enough. (Just don't get the battery-powered sticks though)

A Miele be best, I have got almost a zero particle reading from a c3

And we all know that MIELE is the best at filtration

I’ve sold Miele for over 25 years. I’ve never seen that before. Why don’t you just let them give you another hose

If you get a Miele that won't happen

Had both a Hetty and Shark. Get the Hetty. The Hetty would still be going but I had to have the next big thing. The Shark brush head stopped working after 2 years. Alternatively, I’d recommend a Miele C3. Got one currently and it’s ace!

I definitely like my Miele C3 better than any Dyson, but Dysons really are probably the best bagless you can buy, which is to say if you maintain them they will work pretty well for a long time.

As someone else said, this looks like a good fit for a central vac. I’ve got no knowledge of them. If you don’t go central, my Miele C3 has been fantastic the past five years.

Miele filtration is a bit better. And many of their machines are great quality. My C3 has had zero issues being heavily used and abused for 5 years.

I have both Miele and Sebo canisters. The Miele SEB power nozzles handle thicker pile carpet better than the Sebo. I have a thick pile area rug in the master bedroom and the Sebo can't handle it. The Meile wand will go flat for under furniture cleaning, the elbow is angled more than the Sebo, in practice it isn't a significant difference. The Miele expendables (bags/filters) cost a bit more than Sebo and maintenance for a Miele will cost more compared to Sebo. The Sebo's break down much easier, quicker than a Meile. Which would I choose? I prefer my Miele C3 over the Sebo E3, but for whole house cleaning the Sebo D4 with the 40' cord and 1.5 gallon bag is the clear winner.

Congratulations and look forward to your follow up review after a whole house cleaning. Miele did a poor job assessing the US market for the Guard series. We get the same handle and hose as the previous models; not the new handle with controls released in Europe. They discontinued the SEB 236 power nozzle (LED light, lower profile), and only two models with a power nozzle. None of the Cat and Dog models have a power nozzle! The new Fiber TeQ All Floor attachment looks promising though and will probably be added to my C3's arsenal of tools.

If you are future proofing your purchase, the D4 is ideal for the 3K+ home. In use, the D4 with its rotating hose is very manageable, not too different than a C3. Carrying the body alone upstairs is 15.9 pounds vs 12.5 for a C3. The Sebo wand and head is lighter than a C3 with a SEB 228 power nozzle.

The first things you'll notice about a modern vacuum is how quiet and compact they are compared to your Silver King. The Sebo D4 Onyx (or any Onyx version) opens the door to dealer-only extended warranty, pricing and accessory packages; 10 years motor/casing, parts and 7 year labor. Now that Miele rolled out their Guard series of vacuums, remaining stock of C3s are discounted. Standard warranty on a C3 is three years, but if there is a HomeCare edition (Red color), they are the Meile dealer-only line and warranted to 5 years. Only the entry level Miele's are Chinese, the majority are manufactured in Germany/Europe. The Guard Titanium is the current, dealer-only model from Miele. Both brands are BIFL, and the canisters are the GOAT for whole house cleaning (dusting, furniture, stairs, etc.). The D4 is designed for larger homes (40' cord, 1.5g bag). The Sebo E3 and Miele C3/Guard series are in the sweet spot for the average size home with a mix of bare floors and carpet. Models with a power nozzle will provide the most versatility to grow with your needs as you move from rentals to your final home. Get both brands and various models in your hands and test drive them in store. Black Friday is coming and these are always discounted this time of year.

Both Sebo E3 and Miele C3 canister vacuums are top tier. Both use the same handheld turbo brush attachment (made by Wessel Werk) that is excellent for dog beds, upholstery, stairs. The Miele C3’s are discounted now as the new Guard series is replacing them. A Miele white dog and cat model or Marin navy blue model are probably the best pet vacuums you can get.

I have Corgis and they shed fur as a hobby. Sebo or Miele with a power nozzle, not the entry level suction only machines. The ideal pair is a Sebo E3 canister and Felix upright. The Felix is my daily, the E3 is my weekly deep cleaner. There are clearance deals on the Miele C3s right now; look for the Cat & Dog, Marin and even the HomeCare+ canisters. The Miele power nozzles handle deep pile better than Sebo, otherwise the vacuums are tied for performance.

No. The M1 Cat & Dog is a suction only machine, it does not come with a power nozzle. The attachment it includes is an air driven turbo and the package no longer includes the handheld mini turbo tool. We have bare floors and wool rugs on the main floor and use the C3 with the SEB 228 power nozzle. C3 models like the Kona, Cat & Dog, HomeCare, and Marin. The Miele Classic C1 is your entry-level option with a power nozzle and should be discounted still at your local dealer. We have two very active Corgis that bring in mud, leaves, fur, etc., especially now that we have rain and snow. I use the Bona flat mop with microfiber pad and hardwood floor cleaner. For quick cleanups, I grab the Bona mop handle and use the Bona pre-soaked pads for hard wood. I use the basic Bona pet system that includes the tool, dusting mop and micro fiber pad. They also make waterbased cleaning solutions for cleaners that are safer for pets.

Miele an Sebo are the premium canisters due to quality, warranty, and filtration. Of the two, Miele hoses are more flexible. I have both the Sebo E3 and D4, and both hoses are stiff and bulky due to their tapered design. I also have the Miele C3 and prefer it for dusting because Miele makes a larger, fully articulating brush (SUB 20) that works on the ceiling fans and bookshelves. For hard floor cleaning, the parquet twister is my go to, both Sebo and Meile have a version of this attachment. Based on your cleaning needs, a suction only machine will work well. Look at the Miele Classic C1 or Guard M1. Sebo comes in a close second place for portability. Look at the E1 or K2 Kombi and add the parquet twister. If you have a vacuum dealer, go there, the Black Friday discounts will be better and they will give you a package discount for any additional attachments, bags, etc.
