Complete C3 Calima Bagged Canister Vacuum Cleaner with Turbobrush floorhead, Suitable for Low-Medium Pile Carpet and Hard Floors, in Curry Yellow

I. LOVE. THIS. VACUUM. I had my eye on this vacuum for several years before finally splurging and buying it for myself. I loved it from the first time I used it and it’s going strong over the last 3 months of weekly use. I have environmental sensitivities, and this vacuum is rated very highly in terms of how well sealed it is and how it does not redisperse any particles back into the air. Pros: relatively quiet, considering how powerful it is. The casters are really smooth and it's easy to pull around. I appreciate the variety of different brush heads and the cute storage compartment. I also really like how you can store the wand upright when the vacuum is out. Cons: It’s pricey! And replacement bags and filters are also not cheap. It is worth it to me, though, knowing that it is keeping the air in my home cleaner. I also feel like the slot to store the wand upright is not very secure. I feel like that that part will break down at some point. I also wish that the cord retractor was slower. It retracts alarmingly fast! Overall, I really love this vacuum. Is it perfect? No. But it is certainly good/satisfying to use, and I feel like it was money well spent.

I needed a lightweight vacuum, since I have some autoimmune and painful joints and so am not very fit, but also needed a vacuum that also enough power for both floors and carpet. This Miele is just the ticket. It's a touch above 16 lbs with the hose and other equipment on, but I hardly broke a sweat while vacuuming the upstairs plus the stairs of our two-floor house. The telescoping pole of the handle was long enough so that I could vacuum from the top of the stairs and not have to go all the way down to the bottom--just one step, while holding on the stair rail, that's how light it is. I like that all the small attachments are inside the canister for easy storage and I kept the handy box for the tube and larger attachments. The Miele is of very high quality, the vacuum suction is strong, and the floor brush attachment is very maneuverable and easy to use under and around furniture, as well as behind bathroom utilities such as toilets. It is also easy to store because of its smaller footprint. Highly recommended!

I had high hopes for the Miele Complete C3 Calima, especially given the price and Miele’s reputation, but this has been the worst vacuum cleaner I’ve owned for carpeted surfaces. On hardwood floors, it performs well. Suction is strong, and it handles debris effectively. However, if you have low-pile carpet, don’t expect much — it barely picks up dirt. On medium-pile carpet, performance is even worse. What makes this especially frustrating is that strong suction alone doesn’t matter if the vacuum head isn’t actually lifting dirt from the carpet. In my experience, this vacuum simply does not clean carpet effectively. I also found that it is not compatible with the Miele Original SEB 236 Electro Premium motorized floorhead, which might have improved carpet performance. That limitation was disappointing and makes this model feel even less versatile. For the price, I expected a vacuum that could handle multiple surfaces well. Instead, this feels like an expensive machine that only works properly on hardwood floors. If your home has carpeting, even just door mats, I strongly recommend considering another model. Had I known how poorly it would perform on carpet, I would not have purchased it. I genuinely wish I could return it.

So, we have homestead with animals in and out with mostly wood floors; with some tile, and we use ruggables. Animals are my work and I have yet to find a vacuum that held out for any length of time, I have Owned: The Yellow Dyson; The Dyson Animal; and we have went thru 2 sharks. I get tired of constantly taking them in for repair and decided to try this. Out of the box the color was unique and the unit was very aesthetically pleasing. I love the compartment that neatly stores the attachment. The floor setttings are easy to navigate and it just glides around behind you! The Vaccumes very effiecient, light and I loved the quality of the plastic used on the hose and attachments. My only complaint is the carpet beater brush needs some bright little LED lights. I absolutely loved the ease of carrying it up and down the stairs and swapping out attachments is easy. All in all, I got the up and down stairs done in a little under an hour and it usually takes me a lot longer than that. Highly Recommend!

A superior vacuum. My 2nd Miele-same model, basically. The first lasted 18 years and likely could have been repaired ( on/off switch was broken?), but I treated myelf to a new unit. MUCH more powerful. quiet. Soft start motor. Expensive and worth every penny.

Really loved the quality, the quietness (tested briefly), the onboard tool storage and the discounted price. Hated the color. Thought I was ordering the bright yellow one. Had to return.

I absolutely love this vacuum. This is the second one I’ve owned. My first one I gave to my daughter when she moved into her apartment and I bought this one. These are great quality. A great size and has great suction. I love the attachments. A bonus for me is the color. It is very light to pull around when vacuuming, but does a great job. My first one was over 10 years old and still worked great.

It was hard figuring out the best vac for our house, so many Miele options. If you have lots of wood floors and some short/medium pile area rugs like oriental carpets then this is the unit to consider. Love that it does not have a corded power head. The wand is so much lighter and more maneuverable as a result. The Turboteq head that comes with it has plenty of power for low to medium pile carpets. The hardwood floor head is incredible easy to snake around furniture and other obstacles. The three wheels the vacuum travels on all swivel so it follows you effortlessly and even can run over its power cord with no trouble. The hepa filter for the exhaust is about 3x larger than our old Kenmore vac. This thing is so good that we retired our Miele electric broom as this does such a better job and is easier to get in to tight spots. A worthy investment.
