Miele - Complete C3 Silence

I'm recommending 3 higher end, bagged, corded vacuums with power nozzles to address your area rugs. The first is the upright Sebo Felix. The power head is interchangeable with the premium parquet for bare floors. The onboard hose will address most of your above the floor cleaning and it includes a crevice tool and dusting brush. If you can find a Meile C3 Kona, Marin, or Cat & Dog that is discounted grab any of these canister models. Last either a Sebo E3 or K3 depending what might still be on sale.

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.

Lol 1 C3 Kona does all that these machines can just an overkill of machines in one house😂😂😂😂😂 nothing to flex about lol

I got one c3 with electric kit and straight suction hose wand and parquet twister/ airteq and the full kit from Homecare kit

Ugh the Sebo’s get in the chat again! He say’s Miele so i suggest a old stock c3 with a powerhead or a S1 electro is also a good choice with powerhead enjoy your Miele i got 3 currently enjoy them very much

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

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)

I bought the cheapest bagged corded vacuum from Miele that could be found in 2010, it is still running perfectly. Now most of my appliances are Miele.

This. Miele cat and dog range, or the complete range, is so good.

Only clean my own house, now. Let me sing the praises of my Miele C3! It’s about 7 years old. It was used daily in its early life because my dog was a heavy shedder. Also had another toy pup and 2 cats. There was a period where I was only vacuuming every other day, since my shedder had passed. 2024 was a bust health wise, so vacuuming was sporadic. When I was capable. March this year, the vacuuming was kickstarted hard due to carpet beetles. The bedrooms are dismantled, furniture moved, and vacuumed thoroughly once a week. With normal vacuuming at least every other day, sometimes daily. We have another shedder and 3 cats now. The vacuum cleaner is going strong. We do take care of filters and regular maintenance. When this one dies, I will buy another. It is one of the 3 vital appliances of keeping a clean house for me. I cringed when DH pushed going with a more expensive vacuum cleaner. The beater bar attaching to the handle sold me. Makes cleaning stairs a breeze. It’s been worth every penny!

Get off of Amazon. You really can’t trust most of the reviews on any of their listings anyway. I’d recommend Miele. I watched my clean-freak ex MIL vacuum 1800sq feet 2x per day for three years on the same C3 canister vac without changing more than the bags … this was amazing and it’ll be my next vac purchase when I get a house big enough for more than my $20 used stick vac

Hi all, my Miele C3 canister (9 years old!) is finally retiring due to a stubborn odor issue I can't shake. I'm looking for a replacement, ideally cordless and bagless for convenience/environment, with a budget of €350 on a black Friday deal. I was set on the Dyson V11, but local salespeople in Ireland strongly recommended Shark Stratos or PowerDetect Pet, citing poor long-term Dyson support here. My core dilemma: Should I trust local advice and go cordless/bagless with Shark, or should I prioritise reliability and stick with a new corded/bagged Miele canister model within this budget? What are your experiences, especially with Shark's long-term reliability vs. Miele's legendary durability?

Makes sense. Regarding the old Miele C3, it never performed well at collecting this hair off the carpet. (Note: I was only using the standard combination floorhead that came with it). I'm unsure if a cordless Dyson or Shark would make much difference on hair compared to a new corded Miele fitted with a proper TurboBrush. Based on these details, what vacuum type (corded Miele vs. Shark/Dyson cordless) would you recommend for the hair and carpet challenge?

Miele C1 or C3 canister. Way more power, built to last, eats pet hair. Game changer for rugs.

Totally feel this. Miele = beast mode suction, but stick = grab and go. Keep both! Miele for deep cleans, stick for daily chaos 👌

Exactly what I was going to say, I have a Miele C3 we use for deep cleans and full house cleaning, plus an Electrolux ergorapido stick that’s used for spot cleaning and quick pickups
