Miele 12031880 Complete C3 Cat & Dog Bagged Cylinder Vacuum Cleaner with Power Efficinecy Motor, Turbo Brush for Pet Hair, Odour / HEPA filter, Tayberry Red

Ordered and arrived the next day. Fantastic service. Was unsure at first as never had this make before (Miele) and knowing someone who has a Miele, decided to get this, why I didn’t this sooner (Miele) I don’t know! I’m so pleased I purchased this. All gadgets come with the vacuum cleaner needed to clean various items. A good size floorhead. Good long suction hose and 2 telescopic suction tubes to connect to main vacuum. Is supplied with a bag inside vacuum cleaner but I bought a box too of vacuum bags for the vacuum cleaner, so I’m stocked up. Put to use straight away when it arrived and whole house felt clean and new again, no bits left in the carpet… yeah! , and didn’t have to constantly go over the same area again and again. CERTAINLY NO MORE THAN TWICE. Put on full suction power (there is a dial for this to adjust for suction strength)for a deeper clean. Picked up all cat hair (2 cats) and other bits.I would not go to a bagless hoover again! My last one lost all suction, not hygienic when having to empty constantly and dust goes everywhere despite putting into a black bag, no way again! I have since read up bagged hoovers have better suction power and last longer. I think this is true. I was trying to be environment friendly by having a bagless hoover, only lasted 3 years, disappointing.It is worth paying that little bit more for a decent vacuum cleaner (which this is) that will hopefully last years.Recommend for good suction, gadgets, long suction hose, floorhead, telescopic suction tubes. Also recommend for lightweight to carry up and downstairs (use handle) definitely NOT heavy to lift.It’s a 10/10 for me overall for the mega Miele. Thank you.

My X partner used a Miele hoover in her workplace and we borrowed it to see how good they are in the home. Superb is the answer.This is the compact version of the more expensive models with a few drawbacks. The biggest being that the tools are not stored on the body of the machine but on a strange carrousel that clips to the hose. Doesn’t look great but it really works well. The lead isn’t as long as the more expensive models and the aluminium tube isn’t adjustable in height although aftermarket items are available on Amazon for under twenty pounds delivered so that’s no problem. It isn’t as quiet as the more expensive models but not as noisy as most others.So those are the main things you forfeit for paying less money.Performance is absolutely superb. I can’t fault this item at all. It’s easy to manoeuvre due to the excellent wheels, the powerful suction and choice of settings is more than adequate, it’s light weight and very efficient. Even when the bag gets fuller it still sucks better than anything I’ve owned.The chord extraction is faultless and it looks nice in the blue I own.Miele is the best vacuumed cleaner I’ve owned and I’ve owned a lot more expensive makes. I love it.

I had not had a Miele before, having had Dysons. I am impressed by the lightweight cabinet - easy to take up stairs. And the long wand which can reach anywhere. And the precision of the engineering of the extension of the wand - it feels like top-quality engineering. I like the suction adjustment - useful when on a loose rug. And the strength of suction is amazing! Seems more powerful than the Dysons I have had (the pet hair purple one and the original yellow one). And i like the power adjustment on the unit. It comes with a proper, generously lengthed power cable. All around, top marks!

I'm not sure i have ever written a review but i feel it is my duty to inform the general public of the magnificence of this product. Previously, we were loyal to a different vacuum brand, whose name echoes a certain large, shaggy danger-cow that roamed the American plains and faced near extinction in the 19th century. However, considering the steep price of their latest model, it felt more like an investment than a simple purchase. This led me to discover the Miele C3. Yes it has bags, a power cable to trip over and you will continue to pay for bags and filters forever but if someone in the household has allergies this thing is a game changer. When i used it for the first time on our lounge carpet I thought that the brush feature on the head was deployed as there was so much resistance, i realised that it was the sheer power of the suction that was stopping it from moving. I could have reduced the suction, however I had not been to gym that morning so decided to embrace the situation! The suction on this thing is humongous!Pros:- Sucks like something from another world! Suction is adjustable from curtain level (lowest) to satan's vortex (highest)- Hepa filters and bags capture the smallest particle.- Has bags that need replacing - but then the allergy sufferers in the house don't need to be exposed to the dust when they empty the C3.- Amazing value for what you get!Cons:- Has a really long cable - a light inconvenience.- You will pay for bags and filters forever - but then again throwing these away with all the micro particles helps the allergy sufferers in the family.- I wouldn't have bought 16 bags with my purchase if I had known that there were discount vouchers in the vacuum cleaner box. These vouchers are for bags and Hepa filters.

Like: Suction power - had to dial the power down so i could move it across the carpet, excellent on flooring, power control, long cord, light weight.Dislike: Build quality - 2 pole connector switch was disconnected from pole on receipt.Contacted manufacture on the Amazon link asking for broken part to be sent out to save me the trouble of sending it back. The link went to miele's .com site and instead of actioning my request - the support just told me to go to the UK site - totally useless customer support. Anyway, persevered with the UK site and asked for a new pole to save sending the whole thing back. They sent a better pole - an extendable one - great UK customer support. Very pleased with the product now.
