MieleComplete C2 Hardfloor Bagged Canister Vacuum Cleaner with High Suction Power, Designed for Special Care of Hard Floors and Low-Pile Carpet, in Tech Blue

I’ve used several vacuum brands over the years, including Dyson, but I always come back to Miele. This model is compact, powerful, and easy to maneuver. It works beautifully on both hardwood floors and area rugs, and transitions between surfaces with no frustration.The bag is simple to change and seals tightly, which keeps dust contained. Suction is strong and consistent. It feels engineered for performance without overcomplication.This is an investment, but one that earns its place over time. The build quality is exceptional, and I’ve found it to be far more durable and effective than other high-profile brands I’ve tried.If you’re looking for something quiet, efficient, and thoughtfully made — this is the vacuum I recommend.

I owned an electrolux canister vacuum for years and loved it. I had been searching for a similar replacement for a while (unfortunately, electrolux had discontinued manufacturing their canister vacuums years ago.) I had tried another cheaper one on Amazon and was not pleased with the quality. So i decided to give this Miele one a try, based on the similarity to my former electrolux, and the great reviews. So far, so good! I pretty much love everything about it... well almost!PROS: The performance/powerful suction, the accessories and how they store inside the vacuum, the maneuverability (rolls easily in any direction), and the retractable cord. Also, the options for suction are great(hardwood/ carpet or rugs; etc); the 2 main heads (one that's extra wide great on hard floors, the smaller one awesome for my rugs and my stairs), and the nice large bags! Oh and great for those with allergies as it comes with great filters, and options to upgrade them as well.CONS: The outer shell casing seems like cheap plastic, and the lid that pops open to store the accessories feels like it could snap off easily at the hinge. Bag refills are a bit pricey, and buying generic voids the warranty. The lack of color options ( it would be awesome if you could have a few choices of color to pick between). Lastly, the noise level. This Miele vacuum is quite a bit louder than my former electrolux, even in the quietest setting.

It nearly killed me to spend >$500 on a vacuum cleaner, but this thing has CHANGED MY LIFE and is worth every cent! My biggest house-chore that I previously dreaded was floor care, and this Miele with the extra-wide floor attachement to protect my brand new floors is a game changer. I fired my cleaning lady, in fact, so it’s paid for itself! This vacuum is LIGHT. That is half the battle. It’s so easy to whirl around, and you can easily hold the canister in one hand and the wand in the other if you needed to vacuum stairs. The extra-wide floor attachment gets the job done in HALF the time. The suction quality is superior to Dyson, Bissell, and any other vacuum I have owned. I bought a HEPA filters from the manufacturer, so in a year when it comes time to replace the filter, I will have a better one than the filter it comes with. The retractable cord is a must and so helpful; I only looked at models with this feature. I agonized about whether to get a bagless model or one that uses bags. I finally came to the conclusion that life is short, and I did not want to deal with the mess and hassle of cleaning the canister and filters all the time. This was the right decision! Yes, it’s an added expense to purchase high-quality bags, esp directly from Miele but I wouldn’t chance ruining this magnificent machine with cheap dupe replacements available. This is not an exaggeration: When I spill coffee grounds or need to clean up pet hair, I LOOK FORWARD to bringing the Miele out of the closet. THIS VACUUM BRINGS ME JOY. Lastly, remarks on pets and carpets: I have multiple pets. For this reason and personal aesthetic preferences, I have mostly hardwood floors and the attachments that come with this model are more than sufficient. For the two large area rugs I have, I don’t even switch attachments. The extra-wide hardwood floor attachment is just fine if I go slowly enough. However, if I had a home with mostly carpet, I think the provided second attachment would probably be great. That is, I don’t think the “pet” models are necessary for most people with pets. My animals shed like crazy, and I’m so pleased with this choice. My home has never been more spotless.
