Riccar upright for carpet and Miele canister for tile, laminate, hardwood and stairs.
I have some miele, not sure if the same model as you. And the best thing about it is that it has 12m cable. Way longer than my previous philips, I just plug it into wall in kitchen a vacuum whole floor in all rooms. Same with second level. So much nicer than having to move to a different wall socket 3 times per floor.
Yessss especially if you add the hardwood attachment for bare floors!!! It is my favorite vacuum.
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.
I have read everything I can, this sub and elsewhere, and learned what I can but I need help with a specific issue. First, I already have a 10-year old Miele 3c canister and it is great but very heavy and stiff, plus corded, so it's hard for me to use with my health issues -- therefore, I don't vacuum as often as I need to, which is bad for my lungs. To supplement the Miele and to make it easier to get under things and see, I want a corded. lighted stick vacuum that meets these needs: * adjusts to both hardwood and carpet floors * specifically need one where I don't have to empty out the dust collector myself OR wash out filters * has a light so I can see under beds etc * NO "odor control" -- my pulmonologist (lung doc) said that those added scents are bad for lungs * cordless isn't essential but is a strong preference * ETA: should have stated that I need HEPA filtration, but I think most vacuums have that now?? I have very serious lung disease as well as asthma, so I must avoid breathing in what I vacuumed up. I could empty it in an outside trash can wearing an N95 mask, but I'd prefer a simpler method. Also need to stay under $400 USD -- unemployed now so no way I could afford another Miele. Any suggestions appreciated.
Yes, thanks! I see it there, read the customer reviews too, just wish I could test pushing it out before buying but...... Vacuumed with my canister Miele last night and now I *really* know I want an upright that is lighter weight! Hoping for a Black Friday price in a few weeks....I could afford it now but I really want to donate to the community food bank too.
(a different person from OC) i have a Miele i bought in 2018 and it works the same today as it did when i bought it. i bought the C3 because i was doing “buy it for life,” have cats, and i wanted one that had multiple attachments that kept the attachments inside because that way my husband couldn’t disappear them into the ether. i’ve never needed to take it in for service. the one time i sucked a lightweight rug up into the electric carpet attachment, it auto-turned off before i could reach the switch. and tossing out what i call the “forbidden pillow” of dust and pet hair and dander every few months is deeply satisfying. it holds onto VERY fine dust.
