Good Vacuum
Good price, good suction, light hoover, but if the cord was longer that would be perfect.
POWERFUL ..BUT METAL TUBE NOT TELESCOPIC!!
First time I’ve bought a Miele product .I am very impressed with the strong build and suction power which is adjustable to 6 different levels. The only criticism is that the metal tube is NOT telescopic! I did check on the Miele web site before purchase and it said it DID have a telescopic metal tube but that was on a white C1 classic. I just assumed that the one I bought (the C1 Classic JUNIOR would also have a telescopic tube).I’m not too bothered because the tube comes apart for storage and there is a plastic clip attached to the top half of the tube that enables the top half of the tube to be slotted into the bottom half for storage. Also I have always used the metal tube at full length anyway , if it was telescopic. I just assumed all vacuums had telescopic tubes, this is the first I have ever bought that didn’t!. Still glad I bought it though. Highly recommended.
Miele Vacuum Cleane
I don’t know why I spent 300 buying a Shark cordless. This is superior in every way if you want really clean carpet.
Brilliant!!
The best ever vacuum I’ve ever used! Far superior to the other leading brands.
Not bad but...
I had same model 10 yrs old and I was soooo happy with it, that’s way I bought the same one as I was excited to be the same quality but noting even close
As good as the old one?
Got this after our previous one died at approx 20 years old. I was a bit unsure as the wattage is so much lower now, but needn’t have worried. Still great suction. The flex is even longer than before. Use it with the extra-large parquet head (worth the price) & cover large areas of hard floor easily. Glad I didn’t change to another make……
Brillia
This is the most expensive but by far the best vacuum cleaner I’ve used. Very easy to use, well made and reasonably quiet. It’s almost a pleasure to vac the house!
Brilliant hoover!
Very happy with this purchase. It’s amazingly quiet, given its suction power. Had some trouble with dust missing the bag inside the hoover and clogging up the filter but I think that was a faulty bag. Would certainly recommend.

Nice hoove
Decent hoover, have had other miele’s in the past so expected more suction, and also there is nowhere for the tools in the actual hoover like other ones I’ve had. Other than that it’s great. Hoovers.
Fantastic
I am still using my Miele I bought around 15 or so years ago, but as I needed one upstairs I bought myself another one. You will not go wrong if you buy one. It also has a turbo head which I find fantastic to get the dog hairs from the carpets. Would I recommend this. Without a doubt!

It’s not quite as good as I’d hoped .
I was hoping that this vacuum would revolutionise my house cleaning . It’s ok but not as manoeuvreable as I’d hoped , the bags are a bit pricey . Still got hair wrapped around the brush bar . Difficult to tell when the bags are full . I miss being able to see the dirt as with my upright dyson and shark .
Quality product , recommended.
Parts klick into each other and stay there.Not to loud.Wheels spin 360 degrees which makes it movable sideways without tipping over.Not to heavy , easy to carry up the stairs.Suction almost to good for such a small machine.On thick carpets , you would probably need to lower the suction power down.
Which? Best buy for a reaso
Bought as replacement for previous miele that finally died. Did my research and bought this. Does a really good job, so good it lifts the carpet up! Obviously too soon to comment on reliability, but off to a good start.
Brilliant, great suctio
As described, fantastic on hard surfaces.
if you’re looking at carpets/ rugs its probably too powerful and you’ll spend your time altering the suction level.
The best hoover I'ver used!
It took me a while to decide whether to buy this hoover or not, mainly because it is pricier than any other hoover I’ve had buuuut it really is the best I’ve ever used. It stands up for hoovering the stairs as the air vent is situated to the front and has a nuumber of varied programmes which makes it suitable for moving between rugs, carpets and hard floors. Also, the main stick length is adjustable rather than 2 pieces and comes apart with the click of a button which is so much easier than having to pull it apart.
Best vacuum cleaner I’ve bough
Very well made vacuum cleaner. It’s clear from the outset it’s of high quality. Most powerful suction I’ve seen yet very nice and easy to move around. Couldn’t believe how light it was. I find shopping for vacuum cleaners an absolute minefield with people’s experiences often varying greatly but I was fortunate to have this one recommended to me by a family member. Would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone who wants something light, powerful and durable. Don’t make the mistake of buying something cheaper. From experience it just means you’ll end up being disappointed.
It’s amazing
Only thing I haven’t worked out yet is how to unravel things that the brush picks up.
Fabulous new vacuum
Recently purchased a replacement Miele vacuum for our old cat and dog vacuum . The new one is shockingly better with improved manoeuvrability too . The flex also reaches virtually the length of our 1930s home , amazing !
Miele make the best in the world
I had a Miele vacuum prior to this and it sadly died one day but not due to the harsh terrain it had to deal with – 5 adults, a dog, 4 cats, chickens, rabbits and the rest – but because someone forgot to pull out all the cable when using it, it got too hot and blew the engine. And that warning was in the manual, so not Miele’s fault. Our cleaner had battled away and given a stellar result for over ten years. BUT these cleaners are unbreakable if you use them properly and are designed to give 20 years of service which I (and some friends who also have Mieles) can certainly agree with.
The Germans know how to do engines and machinery and Miele are market leaders for a reason. After having bought one I’ll never buy another brand. For the slight increase in cost, overall you’re getting a machine that will last and will never reduce in performance over those years.
So this new to me model was a slight upgrade on my last – and wow. So quiet, even on the highest setting! I haven’t been able to use it at anything higher than the 3rd speed of 6 because the 3rd is giving me so much suction power there’s no need. It reassures me that there’s plenty more power to use should I need it. Fantastic.
It’s not especially light but that to me is a good thing as there’s some serious machinery tucked away inside it and it gives it some solidity to it, so it’s stable and won’t go flying off anywhere on its own. Even with this, you can trust Miele to attach the most smooth and slippery castors so manoeuvrability is top notch. It’s extremely easy to move and with 8.50m of cable length there’s a lot less need to go back and forth to unplug and plug in to different spots around the house. Really useful touch.
This model comes with both a standard head and an amazing turbo head (both suck at full power right up to the edges of their heads unlike some cleaners – so nice to not have to get out the crevice tool for this type of thing!) which I never had before that really beats the carpet with its internal roller head and brings up more dirt, especially hair which can sometimes be hard to get hold of. Cleaning it is a bit of a faff – you have to cut through the hair with scissors to get it off the roller – I think Miele should look at finding a way around this but for now I can live with it. Watch out with the turbo brush though, it literally sucks in everything it gets close to (including your own hair) so don’t raise it off the ground if you use it, Miele warn very clearly about this.
This cleaner also comes with a mini turbo head brush so you can use the same power brush action to lift up dirt on awkward jobs like stairs or carpets in cars and it works exactly the same as the large turbo brush.
Another upgrade for me from my last model is that all the parts are now kept tucked away in the body of the cleaner whereas before they balanced on the outside of it. I really like that. Nice and tidy and accessible.
Finally, Miele have simplified the way the cleaner is used, from the foot operated buttons to switch it on and off, on the opposite side the button to retract the cable (literally one tap will bring the whole length in rather than you having to stand on the button until it’s finished), at a glance lights illuminating which suction level you’re using, the click system to attach heads and extensions, the sliding mechanism to extend the cleaner arm (so easy! so smooth!), even the sliding vent in the arm moves well too. As before the bag replacement operation is a doddle and clean to do (some cleaner manufacturers’ bags give you a puff of dirt as you remove the bag but Miele bags have a little flap that stops that – aren’t they the best?!), filter replacement is simple and when it’s job is done, you can pack your cleaner away either flat with the arm slotted in at the base of the unit or even upright and the arm slotted into the side of the unit.
If you buy this Miele cleaner or probably any of them you won’t be disappointed!
Oh one more thing, for a vacuum cleaner, it’s also a beautiful looking item. Very sleek, stylish and modern! Enjoy!
Great hoove
Easy to move about and store. Pretty good suction for motor size. Does the job!

Super suction!
Best vacuum in the world, I had one for 10 years before it gave up the ghost, was very well used, I bought a different one from Tesco for 55 quid and it was absolutely useless, so come payday invested in a new miele cat and dog. I have never been more excited about vacuuming, it is now a pleasure, takes a third of the time and you can see the difference after one pass. Perfect.

Very powerful machine!
It has lots of modes to work with and it sucks up everything. It’s great for both carpets and hard floor surfaces.
Very pleased with the machine !
Have only had it for a few day and used it a couple of times – works brilliantly and makes our carpet look remarkably clean. So I am really pleased with it.
However I have only given it a 4 star as it doesn’t seem to pick up longer hairs on the carpet effectively, a weakness other reviewers have mentioned previously. But it doesn’t bother me much and I am still very happy with the purchase.
Light and easy to manoeuvre
I was finding it difficult to use my heavy vacuum cleaner on the stairs – too unwieldy and cumbersome in a relatively narrow space.
I decided to invest in this cleaner because Miele has a good reputation. I have previously bought white goods from them which lasted in excess of 26 years before needing to be replaced.
This cleaner is considerably cheaper than some of their more sophisticated models, but its suction power is second to none, it is light and easy to handle on the stairs. I like the on-board storage facility for the tools because they are on hand and easy to change as needed.
It is not over-noisy in use. I bought this mid-October and there is no indication that the bag needs changing. I was so pleased with this, I ordered one for my sister. She said it’s the best vacuum cleaner she has ever owned.
Brilliant hoover . Just a touch heavy but very pleased
Suction very powerful .I wouldn’t say light weight to manoeuvre abou
Worth i
Great improvement of the c3 burgundy normal version. Suction is great. I have two dogs and never noticed stair fur until I used this hover, now I can see the difference. Great hover!

Very powerful little hoove
Brilliant very powerful hoover, was dubious about going back to a bag hoover, much more powerful than our old dyson cyclone hoover highly recommended
Went for C3 cat and dog so much better than my last Dyson.
I di a lot of online and in shop research before buying the C3 cat and dog. It sucks up the dust well and the rotating head that comes with the cat and dog version beats out the dust as it vacuum cleans. I had previously been pulled in by the expensive gimmicky cyclone vacuum cleaners but so glad I went back to a well built cylinder. All well thought through and easy to move around the house. Just love i
As good as Previous one
I had a dog and cat one more than ten years, but the motor sound become so crazy noisy and the bag started not fit well inside machine and dust comes out actual inside of Hoover. So I bought a new one yesterday, it’s so quiet and suck good just as good as Dog and Cat one. It’s worth paying 236 pound as Used my last one lasted more than ten years, it’s worth it rather than buying cheap nasty machine which useless and hardly suck anything. I love Miele always although we in Japan so many good gadgets made in Japan but come to Hoover I love Miele.
I still get Email from Miele Japan, hahaha, I had Mile while I was there too, unfortunately it’s different voltage so gave it to my friend.
Miele won’t let you down. Only one thing I miss Japanese Hoover, as they have controller near the pipe near where you grip, it’s so easy to stop or change the function instead of going back to the Hoover itself. Hope my shopping Hoover time is another ten years time. But I am happy if last five years, but if survive for ten years it speak good quality. See how it go and write again. But so far I am happy about this one. Also my delivery man was ever so friendly and nice man in the dark cold weather, I appreciate people who carry things especially pandemic period as I was home all time Andy no car so it was difficult to buy bulky things. Thanks for hard working delivery people.
Love my new vacuum!
Such a great vacuum, great suction, easy to move around and use. The tools are great too. So glad I bought my new miele
Good value vacuum cleane
Very good vacuum cleaner. But the head has a short flexible hose section between the floorhead and the tube. I find it difficult to move because when I try to push or pull it the tube changes angle instead of the floorhead moving. Maybe I need to get used to it.
compact easy to use
I purchased the cat and dog Miele vacuum as I do a lot of sewing and overlocking and it removed instantly all the stray threads from my carpets brilliant suctio
Top quality!
We had some problems with the delivery at first but Amazon sorted it all out and now we are really happy with the purchase.
This hoover is amazing. Straight away I have noticed a good quality of materials it’s made of . Even though it’s in a lower price range of Miele hoovers it performs perfectly!
Love this produc
I’ve always been a fan of dyson, but my last one was a disaster. Looked for reviews on this one and I can say that this one is by far, one of the best vacuum cleaner I owned. Top produc
Great hoover!
The suctions is really powerful. I have vinyl flooring in one room which it lifted up. Suction is adjustable so easy to use on different surfaces. I like the tool storage so you always have any you need to had. Compact design. I had a couple before that I wasn’t happy with, so I put off getting a new one. Now I have it, I am really pleased with this one!
Excellent Suctio
I have a Henry which I love but it’s heavy to carry up and downstairs. I bought the Miele for upstairs and it’s well worth the money. Useful tools and able to reach picture rails, under beds and it’s manoeuvrable and light.
Step up from a Dyson (and cheaper)
Very impressed, much better than a Dyson Animal which constantly seemed to get blocked and was an absolute pig to unblock. Minor negative is you have to buy bags as no pack given with Hoover and bag connector feels a bit fragile / tricky. Overall though great, easy to use Hoover.

Very powerfull
Not my first Miele vacuum and definitely the most powerful so I can only use the top power & brush on hard floors. The lower power with no brush is just as good on carpets if not better than my previous machine. Miele is a little more expensive but well worth the money.
Exactly what was needed.
Bought for my parents, who were so impressed with mine.
Lightweight and easy to carry upstairs
The bes
I have spend a lot of money for hoovers, and they didn’t been so great, always loose parts, and the suction was weak. I have brought this hoover and is the best quality of all of them. Suction is very strong, all small parts are hidden inside. Looking posh and easy to manoeuvre. The top of all hoovers !!!
Good warranty service.
A convenient and VERY well powered cleaner. Has to be dragged around a bit carefully as it can turn over if pulled round corners without care. Our cord retractor went wrong while under guarantee but we got a quick, efficient response from the company and even spoke to a polite and pleasant human being!
Fantastic!
I’ve had a Henry hoover for 30 years and thought it couldn’t be bettered. I was wrong.
It is rated top hoover by Which? And I know why!

Best hoover I’ve ever bought and I think I’ve had every hoover going
Amazing compact powerful vacuum
It’s Miele so what can I say. It’s light it’s stylish it’s very powerful it’s the best vacuum on the market. Compared to the previous model this is a different level.

Great buy
What makes this different from other models? It’s so beautifully QUIET it purrs along rather than the horrible growling of most machines love i
Amazing
Fantastic vacuum cleaner solid,powerful and looks amazing. I like it a lot.
I like everything about this vacuum cleaner. It does everything it said it would. I bought it to replace an old Hetty vacuum which was becoming too heavy for me- it’s at least 12 years old now and still going strong. The only thing I would say about the Miele that I find irritating is the shortish cord, making it necessary to change power points rather often.
This is a fantastic vacuum!
We were swopping from Dyson upright and picked this one after reading the Which reviews. The review there was glowing and I have to say that we have not been disappointed – the best vacuum cleaner we have ever had!
The power lead is really long, the hose is also long (but not cumbersome and able to reach all of my ceiling corners), the suction is great and so controllable, it’s light and mobile, and compared to most of the top rated vacuum cleaners it’s cheap.
Just remember to get the bags.
Miele>Dyso
Have been using Dyson vacuum cleaners for 8 years. Switching back to Miele. This one is miles better than the Dyson roll we have, longer cord, better suction, to my surprise compact and easy to use. More compact than my Dyson.

Superb on solid floors (wood, lino, stone etc.) but poor on carpets
I bought this principally for the downstairs of my house which has solid floors. It works superbly. But if I try using it on the upstairs carpet (not a deep pile at all) it is very difficult to use because of the high suction even at the lowest power setting.
The review in Which gives it a high rating for filtering out allergens which is good for my asthma.
It sucks, but in a good way.
Cleans well, easy to push and pull on thick and thin carpets, works well on wood floor as well. Would recommend.

Excellent vacuum for a shared girls flat. Ideal weight , says what it does. Not heavy nor expensive. Delighted
I can’t agree with the other recent reviewers here, although they all have C3 versions and I purchased the cheaper C1. This is a fantastic vacuum cleaner – especially considering the price. I’ve bought Miele’s for a couple of decades now, and today’s model is a massive improvement on the past – eliminating all the major problem areas.
The suction is epic – but totally controllable via the switch on the body, from butterfly wings to wind-tunnel. In an emergency the slide valve on the pipe can of course be used to relieve pressure at the nozzle in an instant. The cable retraction is ultra slick and requires continuous foot pressure for operation. It may be counterintuitive, but this is so much better than the press-once type. The machine is more stable than its predecessors – without the tendency to be pulled over all the time, ending up on its side or upside-down.
It is also very lightweight, and quieter than before. The on-off switch works without having to press it again and again. I really like the new smooth extending mechanism for the main tube too.
The important thing about vacuums with the static type of head like this is that they are not particularly good at picking up hair and fluff off carpet. As other reviewers have noted, they tend to bundle it up and push it around, rather than lifting it. But if you’re prepared to settle for a little technique then this won’t be a problem. Just bundle up the fluff and hair, remove the head and then suck it up with the bare nozzle. It lifts easily and only takes a second or two.
My only real complaint is that the penny-pinchers in the finance department (presumably) have shortened the cable by about six feet. That may not seem much, but now it means I have to replug every day where I didn’t before. So every day for the rest of my life (or the life of this vacuum, whichever is shorter) I’ll be reminded of the cheapskates at Miele. Talk about ruining the ship for a halfpenny of tar.
Having said that, it’s still a really great vacuum, and you should buy it.
Quiet and powerful so hoovering is enjoyable!
It’s a pleasure to use this vacuum as it’s really quiet and easy to move around. It has a number of settings so you can increase and decrease power depending on the floor type (6 settings). The extendable pipe is quite long which is useful for us tall people and changing the different heads is really easy. I love that they live in a little compartment in the body of the vacuum! Love my Miele.
The vacuum cleaner works well
The machine is easy to carry and the suction works well.
I was not very happy with the instructions. All the small ‘air clean’ are difficult to install and the instructions are not very easy to understand.
More powerful than my old 2kW Vax!
The worries that the new EU restriction on power of vacuum cleaners would make our cleaning more difficult and take far longer (wasting energy) have been exorcised well and good! It’s more powerful than my old 2kW Vax (which was wet-and-dry but I had to make do with a dry-only replacement) even though it’s only 880W — This thing sticks to the floor and lifts up the carpet when I try to lift the nozzle!! The minor design issues I have are that the clever foot-button method of reducing the power in 6 settings doesn’t really have a huge effect (3 settings would do because it only takes it down to half the resulting suction) and the hose is a non-standard size so I can’t use my old attachments (they only provide a short stubby crevace nozzle so you can’t get into deep tight spaces, like down the side of my car seats). But on full power it is NEXT TO SILENT compared with my old 2kW Vax. They also do a “silent” model but that’s only rated to drop 3 or 5 dB and I can say this thing is so quiet you really won’t care to try any harder 🙂

Excellent appliance. Well made, good design and works well. This is a classy product with powerful suction and easy to use.

Best household vacuum.
A tad heavy but very manoeuvrable, sucks all the hairs from my shedding labrador and refreshes the carpet. Although might seem expensive it will be the last vacuum you will buy if you take good care of it.
