Designed with a 29.5 foot cleaning radius, users have the ability to cover a lot of ground when plugged in. The Miele C1 offers an exceptional performance and an incredible value.

We have a 30-day return policy, which means you have 30 days after receiving your item to request a return. The suction power of the Miele Classic C1 can be adjusted using a button on the top of the vacuum cleaner. You will also discover an air slot on the handle to reduce the suction power. When I put the vacuum cleaner on the highest mode, I measured a suction power of 20 kPa. Maneuverability is what you make of it with regard to the Miele Classic C1 canister vacuum. A combination of features make this vacuum extremely easy to move around and clean your home.This makes the excellent results from the cleaning tests somewhat misleading. Although the C1 cleans well at maximum power, you won’t want to use it like that most of the time. Want a canister vacuum– Canister vacuums are virtually a handheld vacuum with the power of an upright vacuum. Users have the ability to place the head of the unit directly on top of a debris field and clean it up immediately. That said, canister vacuums do typically have bags instead of a dust bin, which can be a little more daunting to empty / change. I notice that it is a bit more difficult with short-pile carpet: I have to open the air slot on the handle to be able to push the multi-surface brush forward. The dirt is pushed forward a little more than with wooden floors. On low-pile carpet I need 14 seconds. I also notice some trouble on deep-pile carpet: the dirt is also pushed forward here. It takes me 25 seconds to clean the floor pan. Pet hair: no motorized brushes Power supplied by electric utilities in the U.S. is approximately 120 Volts. (Power in many other countries is 240 Volts. So if an appliance is usable in the U.S. it requires 120 volts.)

The Miele Classic C1 flew through our cleaning tests with ease. There was not a point where this vacuum cleaner struggled with any debris field on any of our three surface types. The Miele Classic C1 canister vacuum is one powerful vacuum cleaner. With six different cleaning modes available, the suction of this unit can be changed to suit your specific needs for each cleaning session. There is a very high suction power. In fact, compared to the more expensive Miele Classic C2 and Classic C3, this is the highest suction power I've measured. AirFlow: in line with similar vacuum cleaners Miele has many excellent vacuum cleaners, but this isn’t one of them. It may be cheap but it’s plagued by problems normally associated with vacuums from yesteryear.Our 30cm test patch of combined Collie and Labrador hair, ground into the carpet pile for good measure – the hair, not the dogs themselves – caused a real issue for this cleaner. Following 20 seconds of trying, after which the area resembled a dog’s bed with numerous hairballs, we declared it a fail.

The agitator brush is used to work the dirt and debris out of the carpets. Over time bits of thread and hair can become tangled around the agitator and the brush can become clogged, resulting in the vacuum losing suction power. You may be able to carefully remove the debris to restore the brush; otherwise it will need replacing. If you've got a bagged vacuum cleaner then it will lose suction power when the vacuum bag becomes too full. This means the vacuum cleaner will become less effective at collecting dust, dirt and debris from your carpets and floors. The vacuum cleaner has no problem with hard wooden floors: the dirt is removed well. The multi-surface brush glides well over the parquet and I don't have to use any force. The floor tray is clean in 18 seconds. The Miele KK is compatible with Swing H1 and S1, while the U bag is made for the Dynamic U1 and S7. The hose, while not incredibly lengthy, is strong and flexible and offers an accessory holder for the crevice tool, upholstery tool and dusting brush. It retracts automatically into the body at the press of a foot switch. The claim of a 9m operating radius is a little ambitious considering the cable is only 5.5m long.
