Miele c3 non-powerline version w/ a wessel werk 285 head

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.

(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

Miele. I have a c3 canister, yes it requires bags. I’ve tried using vacuums provided by my clients, none of them compare to my Miele.

Are these actually BIFL? The hose on my C3 seems chintzy and weak

these test sites seem almost dead wrong, like consumer reports, ive sold Miele and Sebo for 30 plus years , i don't like the new mieles but c3 line worked great

water does not filter very well as bubbles pop and unfiltered dust shoots through, get a miele or Sebobagged vacuum

You’re in the states we have rainbow water Vacuums until the last 20 years when they put HEPA filters on them they had a horrible filtration. I have a device that I can test that with. sorry I meant until they put the HEPA exhaust filter on them. They were very bad filtering.

I’m not sure what brands you have in Europe and I was thinking of a canister style Miele or SEBO

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
