Miele Compact C1 Pure Suction Canister Vacuum Review

Here we are talking about its compact and lightweight canister body and the foot pedal cord winder. Especially when you are in need of making the most out of your space as possible, it'll benefit to invest in appliances that can take as little room as possible and require as little effort to do so.

With its compact canister body, the Miele Compact C1 Suction Canister Vacuum is small and convenient, which makes it much more mobile and easier to store—weighing in at just under 15 pounds—it’s light enough to easily carry around with you.

You can also rely on the foot pedal cord winder, which, with just a step on the foot pedal, you can wind the cord neatly up and inside, eliminating entangling the cord for the next cleaning session and reducing work for you since you don't have to wind it up manually.

The suction motor of this model operates with 1200 watts, which gives enough suction to provide efficiency when cleaning—just like a powerful, traditional vacuum. This high-performance motor is under an ultra quiet setting, built for high performance as well as longevity.

After running a 1k Hours Test, manufacturers have ensured that this canister vacuum cleaner can hold up for the average residential use for just over 20 years. Because of the standard life expectancy of the motor that reaches 1200 hours, the manufacturer offers a 7-year warranty for the motor alone—which makes for a really long life as a vacuum cleaner.

This model is also equipped with a 6-speed suction rotary dial. This feature allows you to select from 6 power settings to ensure the correct level of suction is used on the surface being cleaned.

Every setting may be selected corresponding to the type of surface that you are working on, as well as other factors that you may have to take into consideration—depending on the task at hand and where you're going to be working at.

This liberty in choosing the right setting gives you better control over the tool’s suction power giving you an effective clean. For example, you can easily switch over to the max suction setting for hard flooring, medium suction for carpeting and low suction for drapes.

This technology is unique to cleaners under this brand name, setting this vacuum apart from the rest. Even though this vacuum with these tools are considered as the least expensive produced by the manufacturer, it does not compromise quality and overall performance—especially with the AllTeQ Combination Floorhead (STB 285-3). This classic combo combines the use of an area rug tool and hard floor tool.

This brush has two different settings—for hard surfaces and for carpet. The nylon bristles are used to clean hard surfaces, which are then retracted with the simple, push-down foot pedal. The velvet strips underneath the vacuum will then be exposed, allowing the vacuum to glide across carpeting and using suction to make its mark in giving the floor an adequate clean.

It is ideal for use in homes with hardwood, tile, terrazzo or laminate. Since these types of homes usually have doormats, low-pile area rugs, and others, this vacuum cleaner can work as a multi-purpose tool which can work in effectively vacuuming the above-mentioned surfaces. This also means that if you have high-pile or dense area rugs, as well as wall-to-wall carpet, this may not be a recommended option and you would be better off considering a different, more heavy-duty upright vacuums.

Miele has also incorporated a revolutionary technology in the latest AirClean dustbag feature. It provides several unbeatable advantages which enhance the overall performance of this model by using FJM AirClean bags.

For one, this unique material increases the quality of the filtering system. These bags have the highest level of dust filtration in all vacuums, which means—no matter how small the Miele Compact Vacuum is, it still has a quality dustbin inside.

Each of these bags is designed with 9-ply constructions and contains features (only found in quality cleaning supplies) like a self-sealing spring loaded top to trap dust upon bag removal. This feature is responsible for the reduction of dust emissions by up to 50% when changing the dustbag.

Since the dustbag uses a specially designed polymer rugged-spun material, it is tear-proof, removing the need to worry about the potential damage that is caused by pointed, sharp objects inside the bag—which sometimes happens when you're vacuuming and not paying attention. No one wants to lift up the dust bag when changing it only to notice the contents pouring out and causing a mess!
