Miele Compact C1 Turbo Team - Free 2 Day Priority Shipping!

This is the only vacuum you will ever need. Dyson does not even compare! I’ve had this vacuum for 5 years so far and it brings me so much joy because it cleans THAT GOOD. I have 3 kids and dog, so I really put this vacuum through a workout and it always performs perfectly. It’s the best asthma friendly vacuum since it has bags. Bagless vacuums release dust and allergens while being emptied…gross!!

This review is for the Turbo Team Classic, not the Compact. I purchased the Classic because of the lower price, and have been happy with this decision. I live in a 1050 sq ft. apt and this vacuum fits easily in the coat closet. It is also move easily with me and is lightweight to carry. Even my 10 year old was easily able to use this vacuum. I don't mind changing the brush head to get my area rugs, but this may be an issue for some. I actually appreciate having a dedicated tool for hard floors and another for rugs. It makes the vacuum an all in one without the compromises that typically go a one size fits all approach. The only reason I am giving this only 4 stars instead of 5 is that I think if I had paid the full $400 price tag I would have wanted a little more ... MoreThis review is for the Turbo Team Classic, not the Compact.

The only reason I am giving this only 4 stars instead of 5 is that I think if I had paid the full $400 price tag I would have wanted a little more from the vacuum. I purchased my Miele during the $100 off Turbo Team sale, and combined this discount with a 20% off Bed, Bath, and Beyond coupon. I am already getting the urge to buy the extended flexible crevice tool. I do appreciate that Miele takes a modular approach, so you can purchase different attachments as your needs change. I also love that the vacuums are serviceable and rated for life spans up to 20 years. Reducing e-waste by making a long term purchase was an important part of my decision.

When I purchased this vacuum, it was the best, most powerful vacuum I have every owned. However, after having only used it 8-10 times, it broke. The floorbrush stopped working. I called Miele and was shocked when they refused to honor their manufacturer warranty because it was not purchased at a Miele store. When I called the Miele store in my area for advice about the vacuum they stated that Miele products do not work well if you have pets. (they even said the pet vacuum they sell does not handle fur either) I was surprised by this but appreciated their honesty. Long story short, if you have pets and/or carpet this is not the vacuum for you. If you think you might ever need help with a part or need the assistance of their customer service dept, this is not the ... MoreWhen I purchased this vacuum, it was the best, most powerful vacuum I have every owned.

Amazingly quiet yet powerful

How quiet is this vacuum? I'll tell you. When I first moved into my condo, I was stunned at how well I could hear the vacuums of my downstairs and next-door neighbors, which meant that they would also be disturbed by my noisy vacuum as well. But from upstairs, I never heard a vacuum; all I could hear was an occasional gentle swishing that sounded like somebody was using an old-fashioned carpet sweeper, which I thought was unlikely, as they had a dog who shed a lot. I later became friends with those neighbors and started swapping pet-sitting duties with them when either of us would go out of town. That was when I discovered that the reason I never heard a vacuum from up there was because they owned a Miele canister vacuum. I would often use that Miele to vacuum up ... MoreHow quiet is this vacuum? I'll tell you.

I later became friends with those neighbors and started swapping pet-sitting duties with them when either of us would go out of town. That was when I discovered that the reason I never heard a vacuum from up there was because they owned a Miele canister vacuum. I would often use that Miele to vacuum up their dog's hair so they could come home to clean floors after a long trip, and I came to love that almost silent and easily-maneuverable canister powerhouse. I envied them having that Miele, but at the time, I had only recently (and regretfully) purchased a noisy and annoying upright vacuum, so I couldn't justify investing in a Miele so soon after buying the upright. But it didn't take long for me to lose patience with my vacuum, failing to see the point in its HEPA filter when you have to empty the dust receptacle after every cleaning, which then releases a certain amount of dust right back into the environment. It may seem handy that those types of bagless vacuums have parts that can be dismantled, removed and washed, but the downside is that those parts HAVE to be thoroughly cleaned on a regular basis to maintain their efficacy, which is a dirty, dusty and annoying undertaking. So, I finally chucked the upright and treated myself to this Miele model, and I couldn't be happier. It provides an extremely effective clean and requires no more than removing and disposing of a filled bag and inserting a new bag. Worth every penny!

It doesn't get any worse than that folks. Buyer Beware!

Highly Recommend

If you like using a canister vacuum or are thinking of getting rid of a heavy upright or other vacuum, then this is the one to purchase if it meets your cleaning needs. I've had other much more expensive Miele canister models in the past with more bells and whistles, but as far as suction goes, every Miele canister vacuum has the same motor. I found this particular Miele model was the lightest and smallest Miele canister vacuum I've used making it extremely easy to operate and store and pull out whenever I need it for even the smallest of messes. I've done a ton of research on many brands and many different Miele models before making this purchase. When choosing the correct Miele canister vacuum it is all about your home and your cleaning needs.

I found this particular Miele model was the lightest and smallest Miele canister vacuum I've used making it extremely easy to operate and store and pull out whenever I need it for even the smallest of messes. I've done a ton of research on many brands and many different Miele models before making this purchase. When choosing the correct Miele canister vacuum it is all about your home and your cleaning needs. This model is perfect for hardwood floors and low-pile to mid-pile carpeting/rugs and everything above the floor. I'm pleasantly surprised how well the air driven turbo carpet nozzle cleans and how easy and light it is to push around on area rugs and wall-to-wall carpeting. Although the turbo nozzle isn't as wide as an electric power nozzle or upright vacuum's cleaning path, the turbo nozzle also has a great benefit of allowing it to reach in tight places like between chairs under beds and in-between many tight places and furniture. I recommend opening the air flow valve on top of the turbo nozzle and setting the motor speed dial on the canister NOT to the highest level when using the turbo nozzle on carpets and rugs. I have a cat and with these settings, the turbo nozzle really does a great job of picking up dirt and cat hair on my carpets & rugs and with minimal pushing and pulling effort on my part. For bare floor cleaning, use the included bare floor tool with the motor speed dial on the canister to the highest level. I find this Miele canister vacuum model is extremely easy to operate and works well if you use the correct settings. It is true that an electric powered carpet nozzle offered on other higher-end more expensive Miele canisters might work better for certain jobs, but with low-pile and mid-pile carpets like the ones I have and living in a relatively small home, this model is perfect choice for us and cleans extremely well. Also keep in mind that Miele models with the electric power nozzle have much heavier hoses, heavier hose handles that are awkward for above the floor cleaning/dusting, heavier carpet nozzles, and heavier wands that make cleaning more difficult because of the weight (especially when cleaning above the floor or carrying the vacuum to multiple floors). You will not have weight issues with this model. The only cons I have for this model is that even though it is a lower-end Miele canister with less bells and whistles than other Miele canister models is that it is still a Miele and it is kind of expensive, however you do get what you pay for and that is quality I can feel with every use and hopefully this quality will last for years (I believe the motor has a 7 year warranty from Miele). Also, the cord could be longer, the bags could be bigger and less expensive (however, I would never go with a bagless vacuum again because of the mess and dust seeping back into the air. Miele bags are of the highest quality), and it would be nice if the tools had a place for storage inside the canister, but this might make the weight of the vacuum heavier so I can easily live without on-board tool storage. Overall, I've tried and owned many other types of vacuums including bagged and bagless uprights / canisters with and without electric power nozzles, stick vacuums, and a central vacuum that was built into a house I once owned. By far, this has been the lightest and easiest to use vacuum I've owned and it far exceeds all of my cleaning needs and the canister is totally sealed locking in all of the dust and allergens (A sealed Miele is really terrific if you have allergies or don't want dust to resettle on your furniture after cleaning). At one time all Miele vacuums were made and assembled in Germany and that always meant great quality. Although this model is assembled in China, parts and design are from Germany. If you have multiple pets, a large home, lots and lots of wall-to-wall carpeting, and carpeting that is shag or high-pile, then this Miele model may not be for you...

I would buy this product again.

I am very pleased with my new Miele Compact C1 Turbo Canister Vacuum. This is the second Miele vacuum that I have had and I am sold on the way it cleans wood floors. I only have two rooms of carpet but I have rugs in my living and dining and bedroom areas and I can use the carpet attachment for these rooms and the hardwood attachment for the rest of the house. I love it and would recommend it. Very light to pull around in the house.

Miele compact C1 Turbo vacuumn

I have had this Vacuum 4 years. I know several others who have them, one has lasted over 15 years. For those of you who say it does not pick up pet hair I would suggest you use the powerhead with brush on it. You do and should check the roller every couple months and cut away anything wrapped around roller for optimum function. I never use anything but that whether carpet or hardwood floors. I have two cats who shed , so does a friend, picks up all of it and this little gem is powerful. I have no problem with it effectively picking up pet hair. The extension on the wand is an excellent part of the design, and well used.

Overall good vacuum

For years, I had always gotten a Kenmore canister because we have hardwood with area rugs. I decided to give this vacuum a try. The pluses are: lightweight, love the way the bags insert, the floor attachment is more narrow so fits under things much easier (so I don't have to move the couch!), very, very quiet (we have a son with sensory issues, so this is much better), and good suction. Negatives: I miss having the on off and carpet/floor switches on the actual handle and I do have to clean the hair (we have pets) from the carpet attachment occasionally as it does build up and the exhaust comes out the top which is ok, but I often am getting a breeze and I have allergies so something I do have to remember to avoid. However, overall I am really pleased with the ... MoreFor years, I had always gotten a Kenmore canister because we have hardwood with area rugs. I decided to give this vacuum a try.

I do recommend this vacuum as it is small, light, but is powerful.

What A Vacuum !!

I've owned top of the line Shark and Dyson. Nothing compares to this light weight and quiet vacuum. The suction is absolutely awesome. My other vacuums were heavy. This one is a breeze to pull around. I got tired of the cordless vacs. You had to empty the trash bin much too often and the inside of the bin was always so dirty. Yes, they are convenient, but they have their problems too. The Miele is a no nonsense vacuum. Because of the suction, you know you have a very clean floor and carpet. My floors really did look much cleaner the first time I used this vacuum. I honestly can't say enough about this brand.
