Miele canister line up
Miele has always been a bit confusing with their lineups. A while back I think they had the S2, S4, maybe S6 and then the S8 series at the top. They seemed to simplify things somewhat when they came out with the C1 classic series, these were good machines, I have the Olympus which is a good straight suction canister. These didn't have a lot of the bells and whistles but provided a more budget friendly way to own a Miele. Then there was the C2, compact series which was a bit smaller, and then there was the C3, complete series which had push button speed control and came with a Hepa filter. You could choose which series you wanted and then choose the model that included the accessories you wanted. At some point they complicated things again though, there were some compact C1 models, some limited edition models, very confusing. I think Miele is still a good brand but Sebo is a bit better.
