"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."
"It’s about 13 years old now, and still running just like when it was new."

"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."

"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."

Miele C3 Milan (or whatever version peaks your interest). You don’t want a bagless, like you think you do. Less power, they get dirty and you’re not going to (want to) clean it. Trust me, from experience. Dyson, Shark, and many others in that market-space plan for the tool to phase out of use much sooner than you’d probably want; repairing them is intentionally not cost-effective. Look at the battery guarantee for anything that’s cordless, it’s likely projected to last 1 year in the manual. Miele, Kenmore, Sebo have a longer life, contain allergens better (they stay in the bag that you change every 3-6mo) and are serviceable.
r/VacuumCleaners • Is the Dyson worth it? ->I have a 550 watt Miele check my profile it sucks up everything
r/VacuumCleaners • Do good vacuums still exist in Europe? ->Sebo’s are overhyped i’m very happy with my miele C3
r/VacuumCleaners • An Honest Review - Sebo Felix Premium ->Lol 1 C3 Kona does all that these machines can just an overkill of machines in one house😂😂😂😂😂 nothing to flex about lol
r/VacuumCleaners • Sebo Family ->I got one c3 with electric kit and straight suction hose wand and parquet twister/ airteq and the full kit from Homecare kit
r/VacuumCleaners • Sebo Family ->Yeah sure Henry HVR 200 vs miele Complete C3 🤣🤣🤣 henry gets eaten for breakfast just like everything else in the UK Henry is becoming a laugh
r/VacuumCleaners • Henry aero brush ->Sebo’s are originally made for commercial usage they can be used for household cleaning. Miele’s are made for household in Europe they are the Mercedes of vacuums. They have features to make them more user friendly my C3 has built in tools under a special hood, touch powersettings with symbol, tools are more refined and the machine it self is nicer to look at in case you can’t store them in a cupboard or closet! Thats why I prefer Miele when using it in my home it doesnt feel like the vacuum operates me but I am in control of vacuuming with it following behind me. And in case I have sudden visitors at the front door i’m not like get that clunky ugly machine out of the room😂😅 so it’s more user prefference at the end of the day they both get the jobs done for years to come
r/VacuumCleaners • I spent so much time on this sub researching vacuums and decided to go with the Sebo E3. I love her. ->Yeah true but for me it feels bulky and big the way the C3 is made its more long and narrow easier to pull along
r/VacuumCleaners • I spent so much time on this sub researching vacuums and decided to go with the Sebo E3. I love her. ->Any Miele will deal with fur, the cat dog is just a power head and their air clean filter which has carbon which helps with the animal smell. Otherwise, the C3 Kona (comes with HEPA filter instead of carbon filter) will be just fine for you. The C3 has a complete sealed system which is better than C1 if you have issues with allergies. Also, remember, you buy a Miele or Sebo…you’ll never buy a vacuum again. Any Miele is good though and most importantly, lightweight!
r/VacuumCleaners • Help me pick a bagged canister vacuum ->A canister is probably the best option for those floors. Two models I would suggest are the Miele C3 Kona or the C1 Cat Dog. You’re going to want a power head (electric) for medium pile carpet. A cheaper option would be the Kenmore 600 series canister. Kenmore is still a solid brand. You can checkout Sebo and Miele at a local dealer near you (or your parents) and see what you all think.
r/VacuumCleaners • Vacuum for my parents - sebo recommendations or otherwise ->The C3 is the better model, more future proofed too.
r/VacuumCleaners • Vacuum Recommendation. ->Second this. Robot Vacuums have come along way but hair is hair is hair. If you’ve got long hair, even the best of the best full size vacs will struggle, especially on carpet. Miele for the win.
r/VacuumCleaners • Vacuum vs Robot Cleaner: Which Should We Get? ->What vacuum are you using now and what is good and bad about that vacuum? There are many bagged vacuums that are lightweight. A bag will filter better and maintenance is much easier. Instead of emptying a bagless bin after each use and washing filters most bags will last 2-3 months and then it's simply removing the old bag and inserting a new one. u/actionvac-Box2165 made a great suggestion. There are several lightweight vacuums such as the Oreck Elevate and Riccar Supralite. These are super-lightweight vacuums that are around 9 lbs. They have their motor in the base so the handle is very light. They also have cordless versions like the Titan T500 cordless is a cordless version of the Riccar Supralite. Downside is the brushroll is always on so if you have delicate hard floors that can scratch they are not good for those floors. These vacuums also have no hose or tools. Many owners usually buy a small canister vacuum from Oreck and Riccar for dusting and cleaning above the floor. Vacuums with swivel steering require more arm strength to direct it so I actually recommend vacuums without swivel heads. I think the [Oreck Elevate Command](https://oreck.com/products/elevate-command-vacuum) might be a good fit. Oreck and Riccar are also sold at local vacuum stores so I highly recommend trying it in person first. The Oreck isn't a do everything vacuum. This [Lindhaus Valzer Eco Green](https://classicvac.com/lindhaus-valzer-eco-green/?setCurrencyId=1&sku=031207&srsltid=AfmBOor2bT7OpyoNUvXceudNiin8L71IKtkokKtEHO93ycRoj1UymZ5KOK4&gQT=2) is a more capable all-around vacuum. It's still lighter weight than most vacuums but it has a more adjustable carpet powerhead for different carpet heights and it has brushroll shutoff for hard floors. It also has a built in hose and tools. Downsides are Lindhaus doesn't have as many vacuum dealers so it may be a little harder to find local stores with them in-stock. Lastly, but not leastly a canister vacuum might work for you. With a canister vacuum the motor sits on the floor, you only hold the weight of the hose and wand. The [Miele C3 Kona](https://www.mieleusa.com/e/canister-vacuum-cleaners-complete-c3-kona-powerline-sgfe0-obsidian-black-10014580-p) is a very good and very light canister vacuum. The powerhead can clean carpets and hard floors and you can turn off the brushroll with a switch on the handle. It also has an automatic rewinding cord and the tools are stored on the canister in their own compartment. I'm not sure how well a canister will work for you as you do pull the canister behind or beside you so I think you should really try one out thoroughly. The benefit is when you are using the hose and tools you are not carrying any of the motor weight and you can use the extension wand to reach above you. I hope this helps.
r/VacuumCleaners • Best vacuum for a wheelchair user ->What vacuum do you use now? There are a lot of Miele models, so I'll try to answer as best I can. For Miele in the U.K. the Cat & Dog means the vacuum usually comes with an air-powered turbo brush (for rugs), a carbon exhaust filter (for odors), and sometimes a mini turbo brush (for upholstery). The main turbo brush is good for low to medium pile rugs or minimal carpets. A turbo brush will make it easier to clean rugs than just using a combo floor brush. It isn't good for high or plush pile carpets, lots of carpets, or long hair because it has a narrow diameter brushroll that gets lots of hair wrap. This applies to other brands turbo brushes as well. I'm wary that a turbo brush will be any good on your deep pile carpet, its likely it will stall/stop spinning. Then you'll just use the standard combo brush. While I think the Miele C3 is better than the new Miele Guard L1 you may want a vacuum with a carpet powerhead and carpet height adjustment to work on your carpets. Not a lot of canister vacuums in Europe offer carpet powerheads but Sebo still does. You may want to check out the Sebo K3, Sebo E3, and Sebo Felix upright vacuums. They have electric carpet powerheads with carpet height adjustment, but you might need to swap in Sebo's green soft bristle brushroll. Hope that helps.
r/VacuumCleaners • Miele C3 - is the dog/cat hair attachment worth it? ->The Sebo K3 and Sebo E3 cost more than the Mieles because of the carpet powerhead and wiring. The Sebo K2 Turbo and Sebo E2 Turbo are the non-powered canisters closer to the price of the Mieles. I saw in your other comment you're looking at the Sebo Felix which is a great choice for an upright with a carpet powerhead and some of the U.K. models include the Premium Parquet Brush for dedicated hard floor use. You can use the carpet powerhed with the brushroll off and the height set to 1 for hard floor cleaning too. The nice thing about Sebo powerheads is the brushroll pops out without needing any tools for faster access and removing hair wrap.
r/VacuumCleaners • Miele C3 - is the dog/cat hair attachment worth it? ->I have a Miele and it’s great. Buying them can be a little confusing because there are lots of different models, heads, etc. But as long as you get one with a power head for carpets, you probably won’t be disappointed. We have very little carpet in our house so I bought the model that Costco was selling (no power head). It’s been perfect.

r/AskACanadian • Canadians, I need a vacuum recommendation. 😋 ->This. Miele cat and dog range, or the complete range, is so good.
r/australia • Vacuum Recommendations? ->We've tried Dyson and Sharks but they're so hard on our carpets and rugs so we went with the Mieli Pro. It's a canister vac so whereas it does take up more space than upright and stick vacs, it's relatively maneuverable. What we like the most is that you can reach high up for vents, fixtures, ceilings and low/deep (under sofas, beds) with relative ease. You can also change the height of the beater brush for different length floors (hard vs low pile carpet vs high pile rug) and you can even turn the beater brush off if you have hand-woven or otherwise delicate rugs. You can even change the suction power depending on if you're doing floors or drapes or furniture.
r/Cleaningandtidying • Stay-at-home mom here: which cordless vacuum is actually worth it? ->Oh! And these things are made to be repaired. They use hard rubber parts that are standardized across the line so you don't have to just toss it out after 3-5 years.
r/Cleaningandtidying • Stay-at-home mom here: which cordless vacuum is actually worth it? ->A Miele be best, I have got almost a zero particle reading from a c3
r/VacuumCleaners • Best vacuum for allergies? Does it really need to cost $1300? ->And we all know that MIELE is the best at filtration
r/VacuumCleaners • Best vacuum for allergies? Does it really need to cost $1300? ->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
r/VacuumCleaners • Return Advice Needed ->Miele C3 is erg goed, en we hebben ook een Dreame robot stofzuiger.
r/nederlands • Over welke stofzuiger ben jij tevreden? ->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!
