Miele Complete C3 Excellence Powerline

Expensive but excellent! This is an truly great vacuum cleaner - very good quality materials with a VERY powerful suction with adjustable power settings with the middle setting more that adequate for most carpets and hard floors. The bags and filter function well and there is no detectable escape of dust or odor from the canister. The bags, while a tad pricey, hold quite a bit of stuff, have a spring flap and lock into place in the canister reducing the chance of dust escaping. The motor-driven head is a real plus and, unlike many air-turbine-driven cleaning heads, maintains its power and, once switched on from the convenient wand handle switch, really agitates carpet tuft to release deep-down dirt and dust. The wand is a bit weighty but that's the quality of the materials, is fully adjustable and maneuverable. All attachments are carried on-board and are also smaller to facilitate accessing tight spaces. Importantly, its backed by both a seller and manufacturer's 5 year warranty. Given the options of other vacuum cleaners and their [lower] quality, this is actually a sensible purchase, once the upfront price is surmountable

You get what you pay for Okay it’s a vacuum cleaner so no excitement but you won’t need another one Built like a tank Works great on all floors

I had a vacuum for over 20 years. It was time to replace it. There are so many vacuums out there. We had made the mistake before in buying a cheaper brand that didn't last and I didnt want to buy a more expensive one and it be junk too. I only bought this one after watching several videos from other customers and I finally pulled the trigger. Yes it is over my normal budget, but hopefully this one will last a long time. It is quiet and runs smoothly. I love it.

Thrilled that after ordering a more expense Miele vacuum, I saw this one go on sale, $949.99 to $699.99. I quickly cancelled the first and bought this one. Great price for a great product. Didn’t really need all the features of the more expensive one. Still cheeper than Amazon USA, $910.46. Imagine, Canadian prices competitive. Only had it for a week and am very happy with it. It’s the third one I’ve purchased in 24 years. My wife has the expensive one with all the extras. Fabulous. The first one we use for cleaning the trucks. The canister still works fine (sucks great) but the power head died so we bought a new one. As for this one, I needed something for my house (long story, all’s good). Added the HEPA filter, just because. The canister is easy to move around, similar to the others. I don’t think it’s heavy at all. A vacuum has to have some girth to it. Now the power head doesn’t have the height adjustments like the more expensive one. And you can feel the suction as you push it over the carpet. You do need to work at it a little, I can feel it, over the one with adjustable power head. Can see why it’s not recommended for a shag rug. So far, very pleased. I’ll provide an update after I use it a few more times and see if anything changes with it. 17 months later, still thrilled with my vacuum. 36 months, still very happy.

⭐ Amazon Review – Miele C3 (final version) I bought the Miele C3 expecting it to be an improvement over the C1, mainly because of the videos and reviews I saw online. Pros: • The storage area for extra parts and accessories is very convenient. • The extension wand is longer than the C1, which helps during cleaning. • The overall design looks more modern. Cons: • The biggest issue is bag leakage. I tested both the original Miele bag and a third-party (compatible) bag, and both leaked. • The blue plastic part where the bag connects comes off very easily, even though it’s not supposed to. Every time I try to change the bag, that piece comes loose. • The compartment door where the bag is replaced is very hard to close. It feels like I’m going to break it, so I have to be extremely careful. • I believe the leaking problem is related to a defect in this blue connector part. • The parking slot on the side (where the extension wand is supposed to rest when the vacuum is standing) almost never holds the vacuum securely. Because of this, the vacuum fell over once and the telescopic wand mechanism broke. • I tried to replace only the broken small part (which cost about $18), but it could not be properly installed. In the end, I had to buy a whole new wand for about $130. • I contacted Miele and never received a response. • I also delayed contacting the Amazon seller because I was trying to determine if this was a defect or just my unit, and I may now be outside the return window. Conclusion: I really wanted to like this vacuum because it has good design ideas and useful features. However, the bag leakage, unstable connector, and weak parking slot make it frustrating to use. For a premium-priced vacuum, I expected much better durability and quality. If these issues were fixed, this could be a great product. Unfortunately, based on my experience, the C1 felt more reliable.
