Miele Compact C1 Turbo Team Bagged Canister Vacuum, Obsidian Black

It is very good

First of all, I just want to say I do NOT write reviews very often, so it's a big deal when I do. I was NOT paid to write this:I'm a 32 year old living in NYC in a 600 sq ft 1 bedroom apartment and I am required by my landlord to have 70% of the floors covered with rugs (noise dissipation). I work from home and own a French Bulldog, so my apartment collects dust and his short hairs fairly quickly. I felt compelled to write this review because very few people are comparing the C1 Miele vacuums online to the AIRSIGN vacuum.I bought both this Miele C1 Turbo Team and the AIRSIGN to test them. If you don't know much about the AIRSIGN, it's a hipster millennial vacuum advertised heavily on IG/FB designed by some engineers who "left Dyson to build a better vacuum". It has the same suction power (1200 watts) as the Miele, but costs $150 less and comes with a HEPA filter and 3 bags in the box.I am amazed by this Miele. It is so well engineered that it makes vacuuming a treat instead of a chore. It cleans my dog's hair up with the TURBO TEC floorhead on my low pile rugs very, very, very well. When I bought this vacuum I was concerned the TURBO TEC floorhead wasn't going to do much, as it's not powered by electricity, but rather by the air suction from the motor. BOY WAS I WRONG. The bristles in this floorhead are powerful. It actually kind of shocked me the first time I used it how well they spun with just the power of suction airflow. The hardwood/tile floorhead that is included is an absolute pleasure to use as well. It just glides along the floor so effortlessly. This Miele is the BMW 3 Series of vacuums.In contrast, I HATE the AIRSIGN vacuum SO MUCH. The vacuum feels like a piece of s**t in your hand. It honestly feels like a toy. The 1 floorhead included is an absolute joke. It's extremely cheap, and it literally won't even push across a rug In my 20's I owned $80 vacuums made by Shark that I bought from Target that were junk. The AIRSIGN vacuum feels worse than even those.If you are in your late 20's or older, DO NOT buy the AIRSIGN. I promise you you'll hate it. Get the Miele. It's so much better in literally every single way. I promise the extra $150 is worth it. You will feel like a real adult using it. The AIRSIGN is a toy for college kids.

I love this vacuum cleaner. It's a good size and does a good job cleaning. I like the dial on the canister which allows me to control the suction which comes in handy - the max setting is very powerful. It is easy to maneuver and can get under most furniture better than uprights.

Love this vacuum. Have hearing loss and trying to protect hearing I have left. Researched vacuums, settled on this one, only 60db. So, yes, it’s quiet, but it’s also powerful. First time I used it I was surprised how “full” the bag was, I.e., how much dirt and dog hair it was picking up that my former vacuum hadn’t. So, I’m a happy camper. WORTH EVERY PRNNY.

I purchased it about 3-4 years ago. Overall I am fairly satisfied. Things that I don’t like: The small dusting attachment is poorly made. The bristles have turned up inside the opening blocking the vacuum air flow entering the nozzle. The rug/carpet cleaning attachment collects hairs around the rolling brush and there is no way to open it up for cleaning. This makes it necessary to dig the hairs out which is annoying and tedious. The gadget that is intended to hold the dusting, crevice and upholstery cleaning attachments gets in the way of the hose making it useless. All of these design flaws need to be corrected. Otherwise it has held up well and performs well.

We acquired another residence and needed a new vacuum. We already owned a Miele Compact Canister so when shopping we decided, "We love the one at home. Why change?" We popped the $$$ for a new machine. YES! WORTH EVERY CENT! Thank you, Miele, for actually improving the best vacuum we've ever know or owned. Our new Miele Compact C1 Turbo, in a classy Obsidian Black, is the Rolls Royce of vacuuming. The Germans really upped their game by adding an electric powered "roller" head to the newly designed, adjustable length, new triangular handle/wand. I HATE BAGLESS VACUUMS. The amount of filth you're exposed to emptying those nasty machines defeats the entire point of vacuuming. Miele's hepa-filter level bags, and easy to swap out air filters, actually clean the air while inhaling everything you never want to see, or touch, again. The whole process is hyper-anti-allergenic. There are SIX vacuum power settings to achieve masterful results in various situations. The very best. BUY IT! You'll be out there thanking me. And if it's anything like our first model, you'll be thanking me for years and years.

I love how small, light and efficient this vacuum is. I would recommend this product.

So so suction, excellent hepa filters. Could have managed an on/off switch on the handle. Would have given it 5 stars if it had a switch on the handle. Attachable tools are a joke; the hard floor attachment won't pick up anything on the edges and to vac, you have to drag the attachmet backwards. Won't pick up anything going forward. This is a piece of crap; I wouldn't buy this and as soon as I get something better, this is going to the dump!
