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.

I clean offices and apartments for a living. So I'm acquainted with all types of vacuums. I got the "Pure Suction Style Miele", since I don't have big rugs which would require the rotary action head from a different model . I shake out my small scatter rugs manually. . It's built sturdy, easy to maneuver , and the Amazing suction makes it a great value for the money. It definitely speeds up the cleaning time.

I purchased the Miele Classic C1 Pure Suction in Graphite Grey and have already used it 3–4 times for both house cleaning and vacuuming the car. It is incredibly portable, easy to use, and has the strongest suction of any vacuum I have ever owned. This is actually my second Miele; my first one lasted an amazing 26 years, and I only parted with it to pass it down to my son because it still works perfectly! I am completely sold on Miele's quality and highly recommend this brand. Plus, buying it on Amazon was a breeze—just a few clicks and it was at my door, saving me a trip to the store. Definitely recommend!

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.

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 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.

* I wanted to update my review, now that I have been using this vacuum since November 2023. I love it even more, the more I use it. It is EXTREMELY easy to maneuver and to move from room to room. The wheels glide nicely, the telescoping wand makes for easier reaching and the swivel floor brush fits easily low furniture. It's also relatively quiet and the suction is great. The best vacuum I've ever owned, hands down. I have been looking for a lightweight, easy to maneuver vacuum for last several years. With degenerative disk disease and arthritic hips, the very idea of vacuuming made me cringe; I would put it off as long as possible due to the pain of using my top-heavy Shark Flex. Also never really got on board with bagless systems. I've been reading recommendations and reviews for a vacuum with good cleaning power and ease of use. The Miele Classic C1 Pure seemed to offer what I needed, without the necessity of refinancing my home to purchase!! The Miele was easy to assemble - like 10 minutes, max. I just tried it in the livingroom and kitchen and am beyond impressed. It's quiet both the floor head and canister move along my hardwood floors like a dream. I like the various suction options, the way the floor head swivels to access all the areas and even the retractable cord. The actual canister is relatively small and easy to put into a closet. I just got this yesterday, so can't know the reliability over time, but Miele seems to be a quality appliance. I think I may actually "enjoy" vacuuming with this great product. I would recommend the Miele Classic C1 Pure Power. Wish I'd discovered it sooner.

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.

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.

Really great vacuum! Quick clean when I moved into my new place!

So far seems to be a great choice. Very light and easy to move around. Also quiet! Would recommend!
