Review: But what about carpets? - Received our Curry Yellow C3 Complete today and took it for a full-on test run. We have always owned and used upright vacuums to varying degrees of satisfaction. 80% of our vacuum needs have always been for carpeting and not much has been said about how well Miele vacuums actually preform on carpeting, but I went with my gut instinct and purchased our first canister type machine. I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER! It pulls debris and long embedded dust like a champ. I looked in the bag after the first use and was stunned at what our other vacuum had been leaving behind. To be fair..the old Eureka was heavy, noisy and seemed to fling dirt ahead of itself, and I had reached my limit with it. Yes, the Miele is spendy, but after just one use I don’t care because it was money well spent. The beater brush head is smaller than a conventional upright and at first I thought it would be a drawback adding extra work. But as it turns out it is lighter and far more maneuverable than an upright and is actually faster as you are not constantly going over the same area trying to pick up those elusive little bits. The smaller width of the head allows the user to clean those narrow areas that uprights just can’t squeeze into. And suction?? Well let’s just say that it has all the suction you could ever ask for and I needed to dial it down for the carpeting. Have not tried it on stairs or smooth floors yet, but already know it will preform above expectations. Just a great purchase that is light and powerful with any attachments included that we will ever need. Not sorry at all about spending $799.00 because quality always pays for itself in the end.
Review: More fun than a broom - This is a review of the Miele C3 Calima. Quick take... pricey but a good vacuum for a smaller apartment. The added maneuverability of the smaller brush heads makes it more user-friendly for vacuuming the whole apartment. More fun than sweeping. I typically purchase upright vacuums of the less expensive variety. Like sub $100 hoover types. My previous hoover was recommended by Consumer Reports, but I never liked it very much because vacuuming the medium pile wall-to-wall carpet in my son's bedroom was difficult with it. The height adjustment didn't go high enough to avoid the "sucked to the carpet" effect, which made it very hard to push while vacuuming. After many years of dealing with it I finally decided to upgrade. I live in a 1000 sq ft apartment with a mix of flooring, some hardwood, some wall-to-wall carpet, area rugs, and tile. I have 2 rooms with wall-to-wall carpet, one low pile and one medium pile. I debated between going for a model with an electronic brush head for several hundred dollars more, or this one, which has the vacuum powered (non-electric) turbo brush head. I'm happy I decided to go with the Calima. The turbo brush head works well on bare flooring, as does the hardwood floor attachment. The turbo brush does a good job on the low pile carpet, the area rugs, and actually pretty good on the medium pile too. I think the Turbo brush is a good solution a small apartment without a lot of medium pile or thicker carpeting. It's more maneuverable than the larger bulkier electronic brushes that come with the more expensive models. Overall I really like this thing. I find myself using it to clean all my floors, hardwood, carpet and area rugs, and the tile in the bathrooms. It's really easy to maneuver around with the smaller brush heads, and I can vacuum my whole place in less than 10 minutes. I never would have used my old upright vacuum to vacuum the non-carpeted rooms of the house, it was too clunky. I find myself reaching for this more often than the broom for the bare floors. The automatic cord retractor and the accessory compartment are great. And I dig that it has hepa filtering, to help with my allergies. Of course the elephant in the room when talking about a vacuum like this is the price. At over 900 dollars after tax it's waaay more expensive than many of the other options, even other vacuums that have more fancy features than this one. But the way I see it it's an investment. Hopefully this is the last vacuum cleaner I ever have to buy.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The mighty yellow (mustard) miele...
*by A***R on August 20, 2026*

Love this Miele vacuum! In short: IT WORKS!! And the color is a bonus. I also have a basic Miele (C-1) canister that i purchased a few years ago and thought it was ok, but not as good as expected! This one WORKS! I got tired of emptying dirt canisters of bagless vacuums( Dyson, Shark) these Miele bags keep the dirt contained and easy to dispose of! It is pricey for sure. But now I don't mind vacuuming!
