"It’s is SO MUCH more quiet than the s7 it ramped up the suction power from 4000 to 19000 yet I can let it clean my office room while being in a call now."


"Extremely quiet compared to our last one to the point where we can have it running while my partner is in work meetings (besides emptying water and dust bin, but that is 10 seconds of loud x 2)."


"pads that lift on carpet so you can run it while the baby naps"

"Suction wise I think it's even better than S9+. ... I think it's great. ... because I feel this cleans better than S9+. ... 705 I find does a better job of vacuuming carpets than even the beast that was S9+."


"did a fantastic job of vacuuming pet hair ... happily being busy getting up the pet hair ... I love this thing despite its flaws."

"I really prefer the bagged system over dumping and cleaning out a canister. ... That’s how it helps with allergens because the unit itself stays much cleaner everything is contained in the bag and you just toss it when it is full. ... It has a little cap to close the bag before dumping it too so nothing will come out and get in the air."


"if u are allergic or have allergic family members miele is the way to go. ... Filtration was the reason for me to pick up my miele c3 as well. ... But for someone who has allergies that difference is very important. ... I prefer finer filtration because we have multiple family members will alergies, to the point where it causes unbearable symptoms."


"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."

"I’ve tried my families Miele canister when I lived with them and never got the hang of it. ... How do you manage the canister? We have a small space and based on my experience it seems like I would trip over it. Even when I tried it in a bigger place I still carried the canister around which was super annoying just to not trip on it ... The space is small enough that it has dead ends without enough space to turn around by pulling the canister. Is there a way that same concept can still be applied? We’re talking bedsides with only 1.5’ space, 4’ hallway with a litter box at the end, 5’ kitchen width with dead end."

Yes, die wou ik ook aanraden, top ding! Zakken zijn sowieso erg superieur aan zakloos. Veel makkelijker schoonmaken en nooit gedoe met filters die je zelf nog moet vervangen. Ook een erg ergonomisch apparaat met hoe je altijd de stang er op kan zetten hoe de stofzuiger ook gedraaid is en je kan zowel met als zonder slang elk opzetstuk er op doen.

For 100% hard wood, get the Gala edition. It won’t do any rugs or carpet btw.

r/VacuumCleanersIs shark a good choice if I don't plan on repairing my vacuum?
11 months ago

The old ones yes do last more than a couple years. However, New sharks are an absolute joke. Disposable. A well built machine likely won’t have any issues in the first place, but if they do it’s easily repaired. For example I’ve had my Miele C3 for almost a decade and have had 0 issues with it. It will likely last another decade or longer before I give it to my kids or family. What’s your budget and flooring like?

r/VacuumCleanersMiele H1 Swing??

I have one for quick messes and love it. It’s the perfect pair to my C3 (thanks to performance reviews for the tip) I believe both those models have the powered attachment point. It’s when it’s called the S194 is when you need to do your due diligence. Worst case, as for a picture of the attachment point. It’s easy to see if it’s electrified or not.

Check out r/vacuumcleaners As mentioned Miele and Sebo are top brands. You can safely ignore any shark or Dyson recs. They’re garbage. As is anything bagless.

Vacuum wars is a paid shark shill and not to be trusted. Hell Chris even appeared in a shark commercial. BIFL vacuums absolutely exist. They’re corded and bagged made by brands like Miele and Sebo.

Poetsvrouw hier: ik ben iedere keer weer blij als ik een doodgewone Miele in de kast zie staan! *zo eentje: https://www.miele.nl/product/12435980/stofzuiger-met-zak-complete-c3-125-gala-edition-braambesrood Al die fancy steelstofzuigers doen het m net niet. Of ze zuigen niet alles goed op, of de batterij is leeg voordat je het hele huis hebt gehad, of het reservoir zit vol, error... ik krijg er jeuk van. Gewoon ouderswets met een stekker en een slang + steel met voet die altijd 2 standen heeft.

Myöskin ääni Mielelle. Kannattaa kattella noiden kodinkoneliikkeiden tarjouksia. Edellinen Miele jostain 12v takaa lähti mökille imuriksi ja se korvattiin Mielen C3 jollain juhlamallilla. Oli n. 150€ alessa verkkiksessä.

I have the C3 Cat & Dog (now carpet and pet). If you have allergies, this one has an extra HEPA filter It is TREMENDOUS, and also wonderfully convenient to have everything store inside the vacuum. With the price differential being so small.... get the C3 Carpet and Pet. This one comes with the electric beater bar carpet roller. It will work on hard flooring AND carpet perfectly. the cheaper one for $430 seems to *only have the hard flooring attachment.*

r/VacuumCleanersLife after a Dyson Outsize

I have a Miele C3. I bought at a STUPID good value because I bought gently used and got a TON of attachments with it from the seller. I’ve also bought several of my own attachments…. For that rug.. Miele has something called a Velvet Roller brush floor attachment. It’s technically for hard floors, but I have a similar texture sisal rug and cats. I use the Velvet roller on the rug, on a low to moderate suction. It works really well to get the fur off without beating up the rug with the brush roller. The Velvet roller is meant for hard floors, to polish while vacuuming, but it works well at a low suction on finicky carpets and rugs with unusual texture.

r/VacuumCleanersWhy hate Shark? What's a good brand?

Miele, Sebo, Henry, even Oreck. My advice: Buy the BEST QUALITY USED VACUUM available. Pay $60 for a vacuum technician at a repair shop to give it a close look and once over. Im in Los Angeles.... a new Miele C3 with all the attachments is around $1200.... there's several used C3 on OfferUp for less than $200, and Craigslist has a new-looking C1 for $150. Miele vacuums are made TO LAST. Same for Sebo. Same for Henry. I got my BFF a Henry vacuum as a gift.... her kid unironically LOVES IT.

r/VacuumCleanersLooking for a vacuum that can handle long hair without constant cleaning
5 months ago

I have long hair. Having long hair, and being lazy here's my best tips: Slightly change how you vacuum: Use the hose/crevice attachment for most of the hair that floats in the corners, not the brush roller (carpet attachment) FIRST. THEN, use the carpet brush. This reduces the amount of long hairs that NEED to be removed with the brush roller. This limits the number of possible tangled in your carpet brush. Secondly... specific to people with long hair... get a vacuum with an easy to clean carpet brush roller. I have a Miele. There's an indented line along the carpet brush where you can run a utility knife and cut through any hair that's gotten tangled extremely quickly and easily. I need to do this once every couple months. Two quick slashes and I'm done without having to remove parts. (Same for Sebo) Many vacuums aren't great at managing long hair by default. A few brands have gimmicky "long-hair-defense" bullshit attachments/features... they are UTTER BULLSHIT. Utterly useless, hard pass. If you see similar phrasing on packaging, just grab your wallet and move along.

Thanks a lot! I love your website and use it for everything. I ended up getting the miele complete c3 lol. Completely different from my original post 😂 I'm gonna test it out within the 30 days of bestbuy and see how it holds up. Do you have any other recommendations for long life vacuums in similar range (i paid 500cad on sale for this c3)?

I'll see if costco has deals on these in the future. Also, sorry for the questions but one last request. I'm looking at upright vacuums too, which ones do you think are comparable to this miele c3?

r/VacuumCleanersWhich Miele vacuum? They all seem the same!
7 months ago

Yeah these are all similar. They are clearing some vacuums due to new guar series hitting later, Option 1 and 3 are identical models Option 4 is the same model as 1 and 3 just different colour really, deeper sale than usual Option 5 was last gen Costco model similar to option 2. Costco model doesn’t go on sale but stays on the low price year round These models have a stb305 turbo brush , it uses the air flow to spin bristles to pick up hair, for denser / thicker carpet you can rotate the logo and let air in from the top too so the bristles can still spin It’s good for low to medium pile carpeting but if you have wall to wall then something with an electro brush is a good upgrade TLDR, the two to consider are the gala edition due to the low price and the Costco multi surface I would lean multi surface due to having the turbo brush since you have carpet If you didn’t then the gala edition
