Anybody watching this, just get the C1 version, it does everything 80% people out there need. Unless you have high pile carpet you don't need anything else.

This is a masterpiece of information. Thank you for saving me an hour looking for these details.

Hands down the best vacuum I've ever had for ten plus years now. It can take a hell of a beating and so long as you regularly change the bag and filters will work astonishingly well.

Thank you for clearing up what was a confusing process to figure out the similarities and differences within this series. I have had a Miele for about 12 years and need a new one only because I need a new hose and they don't make the one for my model anymore. Otherwise it works great. This was very informative. Thank you!

Very informative and clear comparison of different models. Thanks!

This was a really helpful video. Selecting a new vacuum cleaner is bewildering, even after you decide you want a Miele. This sorted out the main differences in model series. I plan to check out the website as well. I am thinking of the C2 canister vacuum but did not quite understand if he said it could be fitted with an HEPA filter. The more expensive C3 one comes already fitted with that but is bigger and a little heavier.

I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on a new Miele after my trusty upright recently died. This video is awesome and exactly what I needed to help me decide on which model to get. Thanks!

This was SUPER helpful to help with my Miele model decision-making process, thanks!

exactly what i was looking for, thank you!

Excellent education! Most helpful as I was about to buy my first Miele. Thank you.

Very clear. Can also understand every word - quite remarkable !

Thank you Kevin! Amazingly informative video!

The best vacuum I have ever used. I bought one over 25 years ago and it is still going. I am looking to replace it because it's just time I think. I am going for the C2 this time.

I have this yellow C3 Miele and love it! We've had it for 25 years and only since last week it's starting to show wear. The problem is low/weak suction and it's heating up. Time for a new one. I will get the exact same one, so happy with it!

Really useful, well done summarising these models.

Owning c2(2000W) 9 years now, before EU regulation kick in. What a suction beast and flawless operation. Very compact, light powerful. What is most to admire, is not losing suction power over time. Or at least much less than some other brands. Clearly motor is very well designed high quality part.. Also keep in mind that is heavily used almost every two days for 9 years now. That tells something about durability of this little beast.

Finally! A great review video!!

This video was so, so useful - thank you so much for this exceptionally helpful little explainer.

I tried a Miele C1 at Nebraska Furniture Mart and fell in love with that vacuum and I prefer the electric powerhead because of the agitation and the ability to turn on or off the beater bar. It's miles better than a Dyson, a dirt devil, a Bissell, or a shark. I love the sound of the suction motor in a Miele. It would be nice for Miele to sell a CX1 boost with an electric powerhead. The C1 leaves nothing to be desired unless you desire the extra durability of the C3. I also tried a Sebo Felix at a vacuum store and it's my favorite upright vacuum.

Thanks for this video, I did a bunch of research (this video one of them) and got the vacuum. Super happy with it!!!

this was the third youtube video I watched on the Miele vacuum & it was the best & most complete; this gentleman was thorough & his words flowed easily glad I stopped to watch it...

Hello! Thank you for this video. I am wondering - the head/attachment for hard floor and the one for carpet can both come with C3? If not, how are the names of the appropriate ones for C3? Seems very confusing...

Miele's website is horrible at conveying useful information. Thanks for your comparison video!

So many different settings🌼 (personally love the quiet setting living in an apartment building with thin walls). So many features, love the adjustable suction right next to your thumb. So much though was put into this machine, take the time to read the manual and you'll be stunned. The cord length works for me living in a small ish two bedroom apartment. Works great on my hardwood or carpet, just hit the toggle with your foot as you go. One of the best filters for air quality around. Invest and don't send cheap plastic vacuums to the dump every other two years.

Thanks for the video. Now they also have a dog and cat version. I have terrible allergies, but my carpet is a cheap rental thin carpet; only the kitchen and restrooms have flooring. What model would you recommend for me? I have a Labrador too.

Follow up by request: I bought the Calima Complete C3 from Vacuum Cleaner Market. My carpet needs did nor warrant a model with the electric powered head. The air powered turbo head works great on the few medium pile carpets I have. The service and pricing, delivery time, as well as the follow up at Vacuum Cleaner Market were excellent. This is not a paid testimonial. The Calima is very compact, easy to roll and vacuums hard surfaces and carpets really well. No cons at all.

Was not familiar with Miele but they kept popping up as highly rated. I have pets, hard flooring, area rugs and asthma. This did help. To comparison charts I go. Do say I dont think I necessarily need top of the line after watching this. Great starting point for research. Info. is power 😉

SUPER HELPFUL to know that only one, the C3 will really work well with high pile carpet/specialty area rugs

Great video! I own a Miele S4212 and it's great! I am considering buying a new model. This video was very helpful.

Thank you so much for this informative presentation. I know this review is a few years old. I would like to know what model/style do you recommend for 2021? I have hardwood, luxury vinyl planks and tile. No carpet, rugs, curtains, pets, long hair or upholstery at all in a 2,500 sqft one story home. I do want to be able to clean cobwebs, shelves, under beds and want it corded and with a bag. If possible can you give me a suggestion for one model in each of the C1, C2 and C3 series. I don't mind buying a seperate Hepa Filter or Parquet floorhead if that will make the vacuum more affordable. Thank you.

thanks, clear and informative.

Which one is best for cats and dogs on hard wood floors?

Excellent video. Love my C3.

I wish Panasonic still makes vacuums. I have had one for 15 years and it is still going strong. It had the same features as the C3 and it was $250, not $1000+

Urgent question- do all Miele vacuums come with the blower function? If not, which models offer that feature?

C1 Classic Homecare Powerline model is the best vacuum I have ever owned. Combined with the electro brush it can thoroughly clean any home. Also have a Sebo Felix as back up and that machine is just as good. German build quality is the best hands down.

Great overview ... thanks

Very helpful videos to make decision to buy vacuum cleaner

Thank you for this presentation. This is the most complete and best video I have found on-line for these vacuums. I do have some questions if you can answer. Traditionally, upright vacuums are thought to be more powerful than canisters. Is this true for Miele vacuums? (I know they make or possibly used to make an upright vacuum, but I cannot find them on Amazon now.) I read on-line that locations that service Miele vacuums that are under warranty, will not service any that are bought through Amazon. Is this true? Also, how long is the warranty period? Which series, C1, C2, or C3 would you recommend for medium pile carpet? I think I have medium pile carpet, but I am not sure? I know I do not have short pile. What constitutes high pile carpet? Thank you again.

Not just har floors, but bamboo floors? WIll the wheels hurt the bamboo floors?

Hi which model is the best for high thick carpet?

Can you review the bagless models by Miele? Thanks! Good job. Also some demos?

I find this video very informative,and I really need to get all the info before buying a miele vacuum. I won’t get a dyson, or a bagless vacuum because of allergies and asthma.

I purchased a Miele Red Velvet in 2004. I burned out the motor by not changing the filter in time. ANYWAY, I need to purchase a new Miele to replace the original but I can't buy the top of the line C3. I am looking at the Calima since it has an eletrobrush socket. Will my current electro wand fit on the Calima? It has the socket but not the tube. Thanks! I can't determine this anywhere. Also, I want to make sure I understand correctly, ALL Miele canister vacuums can fit HEPA filters correct ? So after the fact, if I purchase a C1, can I buy new HEPA after the fact? Great review btw!

Miele! Best hoover ever! ❤️

Easy to assemble, good strong materials, feels good, looks good.

Enjoyed your video. Comparing Classic C1 Hardfloor TO Complete C3 LE & Complete C3 Excellence; why are the C3 models 8 POUNDS HEAVIER than the Classic C1?

We have a Miele C2 and it is a good cleaner. However, the curved plastic pipe joining the flexible hose to the metal pipe has broken twice in two years, each time only a year old before breaking. Please check this problem out before purchasing.

Nicely done.

excellent video

Hi sir thanks to make a very informative video. I would like to know how to clean a dust bag.

What is the length of the power cord?

You said there are videos of each model on on your website. I don’t see any at all. Please help

Great video

Arrrh! I have a red star miele I bought I 1997. I love it. But the power nozzle has been dc’d apparently and mine stopped working. Do any of these vacuums clean wall to wall carpet anymore? If I can buy a replacement nozzle I might, considering my age (70) and the cost of a new Miele, but I don’t want to spend $700 plus and not be able to clean my carpets thoroughly.

The Miele Complete C3 Cat and Dog Canister doesn't come with the HEPA filter. It comes with a carbon filter. You can purchase the HEPA separately or part of a package.

What do you recommend for a house cleaner who needs a canister vacuum that will last a very long time will clean all types of flooring including high pile carpet and hard floors, and is durable as in commercial grade?

What about the noise level across the models?

The question I have is about my C1. What are the grooves that are built into the unit? One is on the belly or bottom of the unit just left of center. The second one is between the power and cord wind-up buttons. I am hoping these are for backpack straps. I would like to carry the unit on my back while vacuuming.

Is the C3 a powerful unit for deep cleaning? I can’t decide between the Meile C3 or the Riccar Tabdem Air upright vacuum.

What different miele c1and c2 ? ?

Is the C1 series not fully sealed ?

Do C2 compact have HEPA filter capacities? If so which hepa do I buy and from where?

It seems like they could combine all the features into one vacuum and devote the rest of their time to bringing the price down. This is a lot of confusion for such small differences in vacuums!

Think I’ll try a C1 w/ the SEB 228 Electroplus head.

Are they still as powerful now that the wattage is lower?

I like to know if the Miele dealers across the US would provide services on the repairs of Miele canisters, including the old models from the 90's as well as those of contemporary models bought in Canada.

OK, so I just bought a Miele C3. Very happy with the cleaning result, but in hindsight it wasn't worth the money. I could have had almost identical results with a "no brand" vacuum cleaner costing 50 USD. Surely the Miele is well built, but it's not as sturdy as its predecessor. There are some design flaws too. The on/off button, the cord retraction button and the buttons to increase or decrease power react to the slightest touch, which is pretty annoying when you're holding the vacuum cleaner in an upright position near your legs. The telescopic wand is supposed to click into place but tends to loosen while holding it. Also, I wish the cord wouldn't retract fully when I push the button just once. Often you just want to shorten the power cord, but that's not possible with the C3, or I haven't figured it out yet.

You do a great job describing the vacuums - but, I really wish you would cover the sound - how loud is each vacuum. Can you just plug one in and turn it on?

What’s the CFM?

Very helpful! You mentioned that all Miele models are compatible with a HEPA filter. I have a C1 Compact and the filter does not seem compatible. Also you mentioned the C2 series being completely sealed with no air leaks. Is that just for the C2 or is that for all Miele. Thank you for all this info!

all my house has ceramic floor whats the best one?!2300sqfeet thanks

Do anyone knows how to clean vancuum bag ?! In this vancuum machine.

I was expecting a lot more from this video. It helps to clear up only a tiny amount of the rampant confusion and obfuscation by Miele, and in some cases adds to the confusion: early on, (paraphrasing) "only certain models come with HEPA filters as standard, but you can add HEPA filters to all models at extra cost" and later in the video, "you canNOT add HEPA filters to these models." Huh? Miele itself even has two completely different websites supposedly "explaining" their vac models but a lot of features or absence of features aren't even referenced. This seems like a company whose mission statement is "To Confuse." They do a good job. I was hoping this video would break down all the C1, C2, and C3 submodels. E.g., (why oh why?) there are myriad C1 versions: C1 - Compact Pure Suction C1 - Compact Turbo Team C1 - Classic Pure Suction C1 - Classic Turbo Team C1 - Classic Cat & Dog They must be kidding. There is absolutely zero possibility of intuitively understanding just what these names mean. And this list doesn't include the CX1 vacs. And then there is the same mumbo jumbo confusion for all the C2 and C3 models. And then there are extra names on various websites for their models. Even on one of Miele's websites that provides for comparison of different models, there are more than 40 "features" listed, some of which are clearly redundant, but most are borne of their marketing department and provide virtually zero information as to what the feature actually is or does or what the benefit might be, plus some of the information is ambiguous. But this video does little to explain anything, such as attachments, power heads - and types of power heads, power, noise, or a lot of other information that would aid in making a choice. Lastly, the video wastes too much time on the intro and then re-introducing each '"section" with graphics and verbiage, but that's minor compared with the lack of actual usable information.

How can they be so expensive where you live? In the Netherlands there only 200 - 350 euro.

Amazing😍

Saw an ad that was just showing the vacuums with a voice over. You should really look into getting a pop filter for that condenser microphone you were using for the audio. Them p’s were SUPER POPPING bro

C1 doesn't have a complete sealed filtration system like the C2? I found it, only C1 Compact has a sealed filtration system.

never had any other models than Miele

I just bought c2

What’s the cord length of each vacuum?

Can someone help me figure out why my Miele has very low suction and drags? It’s so annoying. I want to like this vacuum cleaner but so far I’m not.

what about the model with odour filters?

why can't you use the brush for hardwood?

Where do i find Miele Parts for a compact C2 electro Powerline? The holder for the bag in my C2 is missing. (The red piece that the bags slide into)

So....whats the difference?

Which ones have bags, which ones are bagless? Asking for a friend.

I just bought the C3 in curry yellow brand new from an authorized Miele dealer for $350,

they don't really give you any vacuum package, that comes with at least a turbo brush not to mention electric brush included.

Strangely you told nothing about the power of suction. Comparing them and comparing therefore performances is, in my opinion, a must for a model comparison review.

Warning ! The thermal shut-down device didn't work on my vacuum . The motor burnt out instead .

C1 is about the same weight as C2. C3 is noticably heavier, maybe 30%

C1 and C3 use the same size bag. C2 bag is 25% smaller.

Now you need to be a rocket scientists to just buy a vacuum cleaner. I have all hard wood floors with a few area rugs that are of a high pile. So now I need to buy the most expensive vacuum meila has just to vacuum a few high pile area rugs. I m sure it's a good product but it's also geared towards making as much money as possible by adding all these different models because of attachment features. HEPA and seal vacuum s is a good feature, so is the suction. Make two models with all of the attachments. Period.

Miele definitely made this even more complicated!

This video easily could have been 3-4min, "you know"? You did exactly what you said you do not want to. I do not know if this is with sales or informative purpose, but it only cinvinced me to buy the "Entry level" (entry into vacuuming?!) C1. On the good side, the video was actually informative. Thank you for that. You just have few notes to take from my POV ;)

Great info, thank you. You may want to proof read your written words below the video as there are a number of comical interpretations. Unless, there a real mythical sufferers out there ;)

What the flicker...

c2 is double the price and the only difference is that it has a sealed filter system.
