Classic C1 Pure Suction Vacuum for Hard Floors & Low-Pile Carpet

I like to submit reviews after I've used a product for a while -- we live in world where so many things are built to break, and when you're paying this much for a vacuum, you want to know it will stand the test of time. First, this is the stripped-down version, but the sucking power is tremendous -- enough that it easily takes care of our hardwood floors, but also works for our heavy rugs, even a large "shag" rug. Lesser vacuums will use spinning rollers to move carpet fibers around, but I'm pretty sure that equal or superior cleaning can be accomplished just with the massive suction power of this vacuum. We love that it's also light and quiet. The simple attachments are well thought-out -- you can easily shorten or lengthen the working end, and the brush attachment is GREAT for cleaning window screens. After three years, the cord is still retracting like the day we bought it, and the suction is just as strong. Note that this is an investment, and to keep it healthy you probably want to go with miele brand bags made especially for this vacuum. They're pricey, and if you're plastic conscious, they have a plastic attachment on each bag. But the way they filter the air (along with the other filters in the vacuum) means that super-clean air emerges from the top of the vacuum. That's another plus, by the way -- the external air vent is on top of the vacuum. We've had other vacuums where it vents out the back, often blowing dust and dirt around. But straight up means that that doesn't happen. I'm trying to think of some cons, but after trying so many other lesser vacuums in the past and having so many break (cord not retracting, power button malfunctioning, etc.), we're just so happy with our "princess miele". A final note is that the three years of service from this vacuum haven't been gentle years -- we've gone through two moves, and loaned it repeatedly to a neighbor who didn't have a vacuum. It's been used pretty hard. As for me, I'd rather spend more on a product that not only works great, but stands the test of time. Ends up being cheaper on the wallet and easier on the landfills to not have to buy vacuums repeatedly (which is what we did before this -- once we bought two in one year!) If you're looking for an easy-to-use vacuum that kicks butt and keeps going strong, this is your baby.

This is the best canister vacuum you buy for your LVP or hardwood floors. The suction is nearly as good as the old obnoxiously loud Kenmore it replaced. However, don’t expect deep cleaning on carpets. We have a Miele Powerline C3 for this task. One pro tip. You can cover a lot of floor area in a very short time by using the large parquet twister SSB-400C. This combination blow away any stick vac in terms of how quickly you get the job done. The Classic C1 is fairly light and maneuverable and comes with a long cord. One last thing, if you are considering a high end Miele for a combination of hardwood and carpet, you will not be happy with the performance on hardwood floors. The Classic C1 has far more airflow than our Powerline C3.

For me, it is by far the best vacuum on the market for a house cleaning business: it’s durable, lasts for years, is easy to use, doesn’t take up much space, is lightweight, and has excellent suction. I’ve been using this product for three years and will never tire of recommending it; if you run a cleaning business, this is a great option.

I received this and it had been used when I contacted customer service. They instructed me to keep it and they would take the charge off my account that didn’t happen. Nevertheless, this vacuum after cleaning it is a little powerhouse. I have three Maine coon cats and it seems to keep up with all of them. I like the fact that it feels portable going upstairs and the weight is not too excessive. I’m used to an upright so canister is a little different. there is absolutely no dust in the air after I use this vacuum I’m going to baby it forever.

Good machine, easy to maneuver and picks up well. However, I bought it to use for more in-depth cleaning, to supplement my Dyson, which I find is best for quick cleanups because it dies too quickly. Wanted a bagged system because I have several pets. My issue with this new vacuum cleaner is more a consequence of my failure to consider the limitations of the type of vacuum head this machine has. It’s a flat-faced plastic piece that slides along the floor or carpet. There’s no motorized aspect to the vacuuming action. I assumed it had some type of brush and motorized head because every canister I’ve had has had them. So it’s not so good for carpets. However, I have only 2 small, very low-pile area rugs and the rest of my floors are hardwood, so I can manage with this machine. I have purchased the parquet floor attachment but haven’t used it yet. Other reviewers speak positively about it. I do like the light weight of this machine, its maneuverability, and suction power.

I PURCHASED THIS VACUUM CLEANER IN 2020 AND HERE IT IS 2026 AND IT'S STILL GOING STRONG! THIS IS ONE STURDY AND WELL BUILT VACUUM CLEANER. THE ONLY THING I'VE HAD TO ORDER THROUGHOUT THE YEARS ARE REPLACEMENT BAGS. I AM NOW GOING TO ORDER THE SMALL BRUSH BECAUSE MINE IS KIND GETTING A BIT WORN OUT, ALTHOUGH IT STILL WORKS. THIS IS AN EXCELLENT PRODUCT. I AM NOT ONE FOR WRITING REVIEWS MUCH, BUT I FELT COMPELLED TO DO SO HERE BECAUSE THE PRODUCT DESERVES RECOGNITION. WORTH EVERY PENNY. VERY GOOD SUCTION POWER; NOT TOO LOUD. IF I EVER HAVE TO PURCHASE A REPLACEMENT, I WILL GET THE VERY SAME BRAND AND STYLE. I LENT IT TO A NEIGHBOR A FEW DAYS AGO AND THEY LOVED IT TOO.

I have hardwood and linoleum flooring. On my first day of using it, I would give it 10 stars if I could. My wife has been wanting to clean all our baseboards due to dust buildup on the baseboard top. Using the brush attachment I was able to clean all the baseboards in our bedroom behind our bed with one pass of the vacuum. Impressive Suction! Be sure to buy the Twister hard floor head (extra) for hardwood floors. It's more effective than the included combination rug/hardwood floor head. Nice bristles keep it off the floor to pick up larger stuff and is gentle on the hardwood flooring. It has a much lower profile than the included combo head. I can even vacuum the floor under door stops. It also swivels to allow you to get around tight spaces (like a toilet) easily. I don't have enough time to remark on durability directly, but the plastic used seems to be very sturdy. Good quality materials and design. It has incredible suction, the best I've experienced on a vacuum. It is surprisingly quiet for a vacuum. I've not noticed any issue with cord length. You do have to move the plug to the room you will be vacuuming. UPDATE: After using this for 3 weeks. I LOVE this vac. As a man, it is one of the best tools I've used. The sucking sound from the Twister head is louder than the vacuum motor. Although the Twister head has bristles that elevate the head about 1/2" off the floor, you notice the suction force to the floor when you pick it up off the floor. Yet it glides effortlessly on the floor while vacuuming. I have not used their multiple use head so I don't know how easy this is to use on carpets or rugs.

I just received my Miele Classic C1 Pure Suction Bagged...from Amazon. Used it for the first time today. It sucks up dirt very well……in fact, perhaps too well…..I found it extremely difficult to MOVE across the carpet, without wrenching my back! I stopped and checked the part that meets the floor (the floor head?), because I thought perhaps the wheels were stuck. When I examined it, there were NO wheels at all! No wonder it is so hard to move across the floor! I had to move the suction power down to the lowest possible setting in order to move it across the carpet….at all! When I moved the suction to the highest power, it lifted my carpet up off the floor!....and it was IMPOSSIBLE to move it AT ALL! What is going on??? 20 years ago I had a canister Miele, and I loved it. There were NO issues like I am having today. What is going on??? I was fully prepared to LOVE my new Miele vacuum cleaner, but if no one responds to this email with practical solutions……I will be returning it, PRONTO! UPDATE a day later, I searched for Miele Floor Heads, and found that there is a floor head that has wheels, but it costs and additional $130!!! The vacuum itself costs about $300. But the TURBO floor head costs an additional $130??? So in reality this vacuum costs $420. Plus I read the reviews of the Miele Turbo Floor Head, and apparently it is extremely difficult to CLEAN to get the hair off the rollers.....things like hidden screws underneath the wheels, stuff like that. Really bad reviews. On the "plus" side: it has Excellent suction power.....but I can't use the storngest or even the medium setting, I can only use the lowest setting or the floor head gets stuck to the floor and I can't move it all until I turn the power off. Another "plus" it is very, very quiet when it is running, which is nice. Some of these cheap vacuums sound like an outdoor lawn mower! That was the cheapest Bissell that I tried, and took back because it stopped working after 1 use. I'm really having trouble finding a solution here, without costing an arm and a leg.

Me encantó, literal cuando la pones en el piso se queda pegada de la potencia con la que aspira

Excelente aspiradora, de calidad, muy duradera y muy buena potencia

Muy potente y silencioso. Ligero y robusto.

Esta aspiradora es la segunda que tengo de la misma marca, la primera me duró más de diez años. Esta tiene mejor succión. La recomiendo ampliamente.

Impeccable! Super bien!
