Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Purchased this back in Dec 2017. I used Orek and Dyson but I never knew you are not supposed to use roller type to vacuum hardwood/tile floors as roller can spin/push dust away and it can scratch hardwood floor over time. With Orek/Dyson, after I vacuumed, my wife had to mop the floors with microfiber and still pick up lots dust. So after a bit of research, we decided to purchase Miele Canister vacuum because my house already has many Miele appliances which we like. But I didn't know there are so many different types and some can cost arm and leg. You need to understand that pretty much all miele canister vacuum use the same motor (1200W Vortex). The only differences are color, shape/size, attachment storage, electrical cord length, floor nozzle/brush, rotary control dial to push button switch and powered handle(wand). Depending on what types of flooring you have in your house, you need to purchase correct Miele vacuum as this C1 Limited Edition is perfect for Hardwood floor/tile and perhaps very low carpet only. If you have medium to high carpet, then you need to purchase one with power wand, such as Miele Compact C2 Electro+ Along with C1 Limited, I also purchased HEPA filter (SF-HA30), and floor brush (Miele Parquett Twister SBB 300-3). If you are buying C1, I HIGHLY recommend getting SBB 300-3 because one that comes with this unit doesn't swivel. Also, this unit does not come with HEPA filter so you might want to buy HEPA filter (SA-HA30) if this is what you want. Parquett Twister SBB 300-3 will make your life so much easier and does a better job than Sbb parquet-3 hard floor brush which comes with C1. It's been almost 4 months and I've been using this on weekly basis. My wife still mops the floor with microfiber but instead of every week, she only mops every other week now. According to her, she noticeably sees much less white dust after we started using Miele C1 even after mopping every other week so I guess it's doing the job much better compared to my old Orek and Dyson. Not sure if you already noticed, we are a bit of clean freak as my wife and I suffer from seasonal allergies. I HIGHLY recommend C1 if you ONLY have hardwood floor/tile and maybe very low-level carpet. Our house is around 95% hardwood floor and rest are travertine tiles so C1 is perfect for us. I originally was going to purchase Miele Complete C3 Calima thinking since it cost more so it must vacuum better than C1 and I liked some of the features but if you do your research and if you are smart, you realize that you don't need to spend $650 when C1 does the same job. However, if you have Medium to High carpet, C1 is NOT for you, even if you purchase Twister floor brush separately. The air suction power is not powerful enough to spin the brush and that's why you need to purchase a different model with a powered wand to provide separate electrical power to rotate the brush.
