Miele New Guard L1 AllFloor Bagged Canister Vacuum Cleaner with AirClean Plus Filter, AllTeQ Universal Floorhead, and AllFloor Floorbrush, LED Display Panel, in Obsidian Black/Rose Gold

Great machine, only concern is how sensitive the cord rewind button is. If the hose gently touches it, the cord rips out of the outlet and quickly rewinds. If you have the cord in your hand and are ready for this action, it is no problem but when it happens unexpectedly it is a bit dangerous. That being said, I love this vacuum, it is simply the best I've ever used and the chore of vacuuming now seems effortless. When i'm done not only is my house nice and clean but the dust bunnies from the pets don't resurface a few hours later as this vacuum vents out the top, not onto the floor. So all those dust bunnies get sucked up, not blown up all over into the air.

I. LOVE. THIS. VACUUM. I had my eye on this vacuum for several years before finally splurging and buying it for myself. I loved it from the first time I used it and it’s going strong over the last 3 months of weekly use. I have environmental sensitivities, and this vacuum is rated very highly in terms of how well sealed it is and how it does not redisperse any particles back into the air. Pros: relatively quiet, considering how powerful it is. The casters are really smooth and it's easy to pull around. I appreciate the variety of different brush heads and the cute storage compartment. I also really like how you can store the wand upright when the vacuum is out. Cons: It’s pricey! And replacement bags and filters are also not cheap. It is worth it to me, though, knowing that it is keeping the air in my home cleaner. I also feel like the slot to store the wand upright is not very secure. I feel like that that part will break down at some point. I also wish that the cord retractor was slower. It retracts alarmingly fast! Overall, I really love this vacuum. Is it perfect? No. But it is certainly good/satisfying to use, and I feel like it was money well spent.

This is a great vacuum and I highly recommend. It's surprisingly quiet (you can talk - loudly but without shouting), has powerful suction, an extra long 30' cord, easy maneuverability (the brush heads swivel), and the bright LED light on brush head helps when cleaning in darker rooms or around furniture that blocks the room light. Most impressive to me is the way the canister glides over the floor, even over the power cord when it's in the way (which was always a problem with my previous canister vacuum). The auto adjustable suction strength feature (which I originally dismissed as unnecessary) is also surprising useful because it allows the brush head to seamless vacuum over an area rug to bare floor without "sucking up" the rug edges. I previously I owned a Simplicity Canister vacuum - an American "Made" (designed and assembled) brand which, in my analysis, is similar to Miele on both quality and price. Indeed, my 10 year old Simplicity has similar features to this modern day Miele model. When it came time to replace my Simplicity the lack of distribution in my area (1 authorized dealer in all of Seattle!), and a manufacturers web site that looked like it was 20 year old, gave me pause. After a lot of research, I bought the Miele Complete C3 model and couldn't be more pleased. Compared to my Simplicity it performs equally or better in all functions - except one item. Simplicity has a fairly ingenious mechanism for extending or shortening the telescoping wand a nearly effortless task. With the Miele I have to exert a fair amount of pressure on a button to perform the same function. It's not necessarily difficult - but there is no comparison to the ease of the Simplicity. I have to assume Simplicity must have this patented. I'd give this 4.5 stars if I could - but I rounded up to 5 because overall this is a great cleaning machine! (PS. Due to a very hairy dog and living near a busy street, I vacuum almost every day - highly recommend this for Pet owners or anyone that has heavy vacuuming needs).

I have been a Miele customer for over 40 years. This is an excellent vacuum. Powerful, lightweight, and the 4 wheels are a much more stable design than the 3 wheel version.

Wow. This is a great vacuum cleaner. Powerful suction ... cleans really well. My only criticism is that the powerhead for use on carpets is big and heavy. With everything else being so wonderful, couldn't this company have come up with something a little lighter and smaller? But aside of this one problem..... you can't beat this vacuum. It's body is lightweight and easy to carry around. Love the way the attachments are stored in the body of the vacuum. The retractable power cord is wonderful. I bought this at the same time I bought a Dupray steam cleaner, and ---between the two of them---there's no cleaning job I can't handle now!
