It's amazing!

published

I love this vacuum cleaner. It glides around and is super easy to use. The bags can fill up easy if you only vacuum, so I sweep also and the bags last longer lol. Ive heard you can get cheaper bags online but ive not tried them. The vacuum has great suction and maneuverability. I love it! No doubt it will last for years.

Faulty design: Not moves on carpets and rugs

published

I was unable to push it on our carperts and rugs. Awful design. The plastic brim of the suction head generate a very high friction. A 50 dollar design is thought through better. Don’t waste your money. Still struggling to refund it from Harvey Norman. They claim it’s not faulty but I simply can’t use it.

Best I have used.

published

I just fell in love with the C3 Comfort TotalCare from Miele after my first use. I wasn’t sure which Miele model to go for but then decided to go for this one after reading some positive reviews online and I must admit, I am not disappointed. I love how it’s got different modes based on the surfaces you intend on using it on. The suction force (or whatever it is called) can be controlled by mode selection and it is another feature that impressed me. I also love how the handle has got a power button and a pair of mode selection buttons, which means no need to bend or use your foot to do all of that.

Quite happy with the product and I hope it doesn’t trouble me in the future.

Was good to begin with then suddenly would not turn on again...

published

After 2 years, the vacuum has died, im not sure whether its a cord issue or a motor issue but i am extremely disappointed. For a purchase at this cost, Miele should do everything they can to make all the repairs covered. However instead, the service rep advised i need to take it in to repairer and would have to fork out the cost as it has been 2 years... its just not good enough, ill never purchase anything Miele ever again.

All rounder

published

After owning a Miele vacuum cleaner previously and getting good results and working life we decided to get another Miele. The all rounder is a good vacuum cleaner with excellent suction. Good on hard surfaces and carpet. The only issue I have is that our previous Miele had auto shut off when one parked the vacuum hose on the body of the cleaner. Very handy. I had assumed, perhaps wrongly that this feature would have been a carry over to our recent purchase given the design of the vacuum cleaner has not changed greatly over time however to my surprise it isn't and one has to physically turn the power off.

This product is really good

published

I bought this product as a more reliable alternative to my Dyson absolute vacuum. My wife was unhappy about how the Dyson runs out of charge and her vacuum cleaning goes half done every time the device runs out of juice. This product is high quality made and highly recommended. No issues so far and absolutely loved by the Mrs.

Great vacuum cleaner with lots of head attachment options. Tiles, to carpet to getting the dog hear out of the carpet in the car there is an attachment for them all. It easily rolls behind you as you clean and its light weight when needing to hold to get in the high places

Great vacuum cleaner

published

I have a large house with both carpet and hard floors. My Miele does it all with ease. The standard attachments are really all you need to clean the entire house. The different settings enable you to reduce the noise if necessary as well as adjusting the power.
Being able to store the head at the side of the cleaner is a great idea for storage.

Perfect for cleaning up after my dog

published

Truly a fantastic vacuum. Easy to move around and keeps my home clean. I’ve found that vacuuming with my Miele takes a lot less time compared to my last vacuum because it’s just so efficient. Am so glad this product was recommended to me in store, will never look back!

Hardly a pushover

published

A beautiful machine at first glance and would be perfect if all your floors were tiles or wood, however you cannot push it on carpet as the suction is so strong . Even on a lower setting it is difficult to manouver and I dont beleive it actually sucked up that much dirt. Will stick to Dyson

Love this vacuum, the turbo head does a wonderful job at picking up all the cat hair on my white carpet! The cable is nice and long too. The vacuum bags seem to hold a lot and I haven't had to change them anywhere near as often as I thought I would.

Horrible.

published

Only if you move. Seriously horrible design. It is _impossible_ to pick up with one hand without touching either the power button, thereby turning it off; or, even worse, brush against the cord retract button and having the cord consumed by the unit.

Clearly the idiots who designed and built it, never used in real-world conditions.

Near total waste of money.

On the bright side though. I was going to buy a Miele dishwasher, but after this - not. a. chance. Have no idea what defects by design they have hidden in their other products.

Complete C3 PowerLine

miele compact c3 has the carpet indicator light flickering and no power happening. changed all filters and bags. Miele service says i need to drive it in for assessment - this is a big drive with no idea of cost so if you can help out with what this means that would be great. Just so you know Dyson service far superior and parts cheap and replaceable. Service centre for miele very poor. never buy a miele vacuum

Complete C3 PowerLine

Our C3 was running perfectly until yesterday. My wife reported a smell of something burning and then the unit wouldn't start again. Only one of the lights on the speed control lights briefly and then nothing. I've changed out all filters and made sure the hose was not blocked. Is this perhaps an issue with the cord?
Thanks.

Complete C3 PowerLine

Could the Miele rep please provide information on the power of the C3 model when operating in:

(a) "standard mode" (presumably 2.0kW?), and
(b) "energy saving" mode.

I can see that the C3 is rated at 2000kW, which is presumably the power draw when the vacuum cleaner is used on the standard setting.

However, I cannot find the wattage when the C3 is used in "energy saving" mode?

Avoid Miele. Their after sales is disappointing. Vacuum cleaner good for the period of warranty only. If you are looking for a product with two year life then buy cheaper brand and Save money for new one.
