"Lifespan: My C3 is almost a decade old and performs as it did on day 1 with only 1 (common) issue with the wand collapsing. I was burning through vacuums every 2 years and wasting a ton of money (and resources tbh) on vacuums. So this was a big selling point for me."
"It's become my DIY vacuum ... has fought it's way through a complete house remodel ... It's sucked up more rocks and saw dust then anyone could reasonably expect."
"I have 2 Miele's, one that I inherited (around 25 years old) and one that I purchased (around 15 years old)."

"I was getting dried mud from my dogs and fur; thing thing is small but it will suck the dirt from deeeeep downs"
"Agree with the C3! We have a BMD and Husky and it ’s been incredible."
"I feel like the Miele has more longevity when cleaning up after hairy, heavy shedders like Bernese."

"Filtration: my allergies are basically gone after switching from bagless. This was worth the price of admission alone."
"Miele exhaust close to 0 particulate ... My 2000 dollar particle scanner begs to differ lol"
"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."

"quieter than any vacuum I've ever used."
"One thing that sold me on paying the extra $s for it was the sound level. ... Even at full suction it is much quieter than any other vacuum I've heard, other than a built-in. ... Friend had a Dyson stick model and that sounded like jet engine revving up for take-off in comparison."
"it ’s quiet enough that our dog wouldn’t bother with it. ... it’s good for children, pets, and maintaining a cleaner air environment."

"horrifically expensive"
"Miele straight robs you blind with their cost on bags and filters."
"I saw the prices they are charging now. That's wild! I agree they are super expensive now. ... I fully agree that spending over $1000 on a vacuum is crazy."

"dragging around a cleaner on little wheels"
"the canister is so godawful at maneuvering around corridors/corners, and will flip upside down if given half a chance."
"I'll be damned if I'm going to drag that thing up and down three floors regularly."

"its regular floorhead is a goddamn magnet for animal hair and requires multiple cleanings per use. So annoying."
"the powerhead jammed with pet hair within the first few minutes."
"it’s awful. ... Don’t bother, unless you want to be unclogging the roller every time you use it."

"My Miele has an infuriatingly short power cord, and my house is quite small"
"Setting up a cord and lugging around the Miele body always made vacuuming my least favorite chore."
"the worse user experience (tiny hallways, a cable to plug in, canister to drag around)"

"Scratched the hardwood floors ... there is a sort of hook on the back which hits the floor when you're going under tables/beds"
