Miele Complete C3 Canister Vacuum

UPDATE: When it worked, it was amazing. One year and 2 months later, now the fancy brush head won’t work. It’s $315 for a replacement. NO vacuum repair place near me will repair it since it was purchased on Amazon. DO NOT BUY THIS ON AMAZON. Only buy locally, as that’s what all the repair shops will honor for warranty repairs. I’ve used this for four months now. This thing is freaking amazing. My hard floors are cleaner than they have ever been! I always have very dirty floors from having a dog, cat, dirt tracked in from my barn, and dirt from living on a dry desert dirt road. This vacuum picks up everything. It feels like I mopped the floor after I vacuum: no grit or fine dirt dust left on the floor. When I mop after vacuuming, the water/soap bucket has no dirt in it like it had contained for years. I have always bought Hoover uprights. They don’t compare at all to the suction and cleaning power that this vacuum has. I find the attachments a little hard to get on and off the pole/hose, but I’m getting much better at it. I like the onboard storage for tools, very handy and the tools don’t fall off like the old Hoover upright. The small tools are standard, can’t vacuum up my cat’s super fine and long hair off furniture or cat tower. No tools ever have, this wasn’t a big surprise to me. The tools work well for shelve dusting, baseboards, leather couch crevices and such. I found the printed instruction manual too general, not specific to this model. I had go online to figure out how to reset brush rollers after sucking up a carpet. I made notations in useless manual for easier future reference. In reading other peoples’ low reviews, they stated that there was an issue with the floor brush roller shorting out. I haven’t found this to be true, as when you have the pole up right it shuts off the brush motors so that it can sit there and rest “off” while you’re moving furniture or whatever. None of that is a dealbreaker, as this vacuum cleans my floors and carpeting better than ever been cleaned before. And I don’t want to forget to add that this vacuum is SO QUIET that my 10-year-old cat (who has been terrified of vacuums his whole life) doesn’t even leave the room now when I’m vacuuming. Easy to maneuver brush roller floor attachment, it’s a back and shoulder saver for this senior gal. I have tipped canister over on carpeting, but I’ve never had a canister that follows behind me. It takes getting used to moving it out of the way instead of stumbling over it. LoL. I hope their quality stands the test of time, I would replace again with same quality vacuum in future. I would absolutely recommend this vacuum to anybody who wants genuinely clean floors.
