I LOVE my Miele C3 cannister for wood floors and "above ground" cleaning/dusting. I prefer an upright for carpets... Sebo Felix (although I'm drooling to get an X7). I do have a Miele U1 upright that is great except it is TOO HEAVY.

We have a 1930's house with wood flooring, except for the finished basement and back of house bump-out with wall-to-wall carpet... but within next year will be putting wood or tile in bump-out. Lots of Persian or area rugs in all the other rooms. Makes things super easy to update the look of...

My wife brought home a ~1990 MC6217. It was used in a retail store daily for about 15 years. Now we've had it for about another 15 years at home and still remains a favorite for my wife. All it needed was a new power cord which had become frayed... ~$15 from an auction site. You have a...

That stinks... I have short thin pointy hair with our puggle (pug/beagle) and have not seen such an issue with my Miele C3 or U1 nor my Sebo Felix.

Bagged. Period.

Curious what the OP found deficient in the Miele C3 to see if it is addressed by any of the Aerus vac models.

That's awesome! You'll love it. I have the C3 with the auto-adjusting motor and it is fantastic. My wife initially "hated" the several Miele's I've bought, for various reasons, but now I see her using the C3 all the time with the parquet floor attachment. The canister with that attachment is...

Less than 3K people in the US under the age of 65 have died of this flu to date (.00008% of US population). 95% of them had pre-existing conditions. For now I'll pull up some fabric over my mouth to get into a store because it is required, but soon I'll claim medical disability so I don't have...

I so want to get an X7... but currently have a Miele C3 on the top floor, Felix Sebo on the main floor, and a Miele U1 in the finished basement + a few lower end vacuums tucked in here and there. Help me think of a way to justify the purchase to the misses.

@n0oxy: "...There are also interceptors that you can get to allow you to vacuum liquids, I'll include a link if I can find one. Mike CLICK HERE TO GO TO n0oxy's LINK"" ^^^^ That's the ticket! This could resolve my opportunity. Thanks n0oxy!

Over the years I've had a few indoor/outdoor wet/dry vacs and they tend to be insanely loud. What is the need for that? They don't seem to vacuum a whole lot better than than regular indoor vacs I have. Are there quiet versions? I ended up buying a Vacu-Maid GV50Pro that mounted to the wall...

@vacuuumdevil: "@tseg If you're Miele u1 is under warranty you should have the handle replaced so it doesn't drop down when you turn the brush on. It's not supposed to do that . They changed switch manufacturers and that was the result of that" ^^^^ Funny you mention this. I bought my U1 used...

I'm in my 50's and I don't think I ever recall having a vacuum motor wear out on me, but I know it happens, particularly if one vacuums for a living. Brands I've used have been Hoover, Dyson, Panasonic, Miele and Sebo. I've thrown out and passed on a few vacuums in my day, but usually that is...

I have a U1 Jazz upright and C3 Alize cannister... for the C3 I have nearly every powered and unpowered hose and attachment. My only repair issue was after a year my SEB236 electric power head had the mechanical height adjuster stop working and that was fixed under warranty. Yes, I'm a Miele...

Poor design is really the flaw. Who would ever want a cord out the bottom besides a lazy vacuum designer? Cords should always come out the top, then you don't have to create work-around parts and associated quality control of said part if the vacuum is designed properly.

I have one and like it a lot. The hose is convenient. The bag is great with no loss of air flow even when it is nearly packed. Make sure to pick up #10 and #20 torx drivers to unscrew the metal roller cover in case there is blockage. My wife won't use it, says its too heavy. It can be a bit...

My wife is not a vacuum enthusiast. Over the years I've paraded a number of high-end vacuums past her and she has found fault with every one... up until I brought home a Felix one day. Finally a vacuum that impresses her. I love it as well. So much for the complex Simplicity.

I had a DC14 for years and thought I needed a Shark Duo Ultralite recently… but after some use was reminded how repulsive it is to properly clean a bagless vacuum. Not any more.

Is the U1 7 months old, or you bought a used one 7 months ago? If new, wouldn't that be a warranty item?

Titanium and carbon fiber.
