After reading oh so many reviews I bought the compact C1 Miele cannister to replace the LAST Kenmore I will ever buy. (The last Kenmore cannister died at 9 months of age) I have a LOT of pet hairs, a LOT (100+) potted plants, and a LOT of dirt & dust. We live in the country on a long gravel drive & spend most of our time outside tending growing things. We start & propagate indoors, especially in winter. And we have 7 cats & 1 dog (don't judge...they just show up). Anyway, you get the picture. It's a dirty life and we love it but I don't want my house dirty so I have always had cannisters & make heavy use of the attachments.
First, the suction... On day 1 as I was just testing it out I got within an inch of a sock on the bedroom floor & WHOOSH! Before I could blink the sock was in the bag. lol I was quite impressed. And the sock was simple to retrieve. Christmas glitter was gone in one quick pass. If you place the wand on the palm of your hand, the suction is so tight that you can wave it around & it will not fall off.
Second, I saw a couple reviewers speaking on the small duster attachment. Yes, there is less brush on it but omg it is so much more effective. Cobwebs near the ceiling are gone without even touching them. It actually sucks the dust up rather than just moving it around. And...it has a very cool feature in that it rotates & turns the brush at a 90 degree angle for dusting bookshelves, tables, celing fan blades or other flat surface. Very clever.
Third, the telescoping wand reaches so much farther than any I've ever used. I can reach all the way behind upper kitchen cabinets, even in the corner, where used to I had to get a chair or step ladder. And the wand is so light & ergonomic that my back is not aching when I finish.
Fourth, the (non-power) head at first seemed quite toy-like in comparison to the heavy Kenmore power head but after just a couple uses I am in love. It easily twists, contorts, & gets between, under & around most everything. And it picks up crumbs from around baseboards without having to take it off.
Fifth, and this is a silly thing that made me excited, but the plastic connectors on the wand are much sleeker & smaller. So therefore I can get deep behind furniture (like dressers) & into other small spaces that had been inaccessible without moving the furniture.
Finally, as for the small size & smaller bags...I just now changed the bag after nearly a month & having vacuumed the walls, ceilings, woodwork, fans, and obviously floors many times. The house is 2000 sq ft.
I have not been gentle on it as I have sucked up many a dried plant leaf, too much dry cat food, at least one paper napkin (oops!) and many a Christmas decoration 'dropping'.
Now...if it will last a good long while I will be completely happily ever after.

Quiet and reliable
This is a canister vacuum cleaner with attachments for floors, dusting, and crevices. The canister itself measures 17” long by 9.5” tall by 8” wide. The hose is 62” long and connects to a handle and metal telescoping extension tube that together measure 50”. The floor attachment clips to the side of the canister for storage. When stored this way, the vacuum requires a 44x15x12” space in your closet. Including all attachments, the vacuum weighs 13.8 pounds. The motor produces 73 decibels when running. The vacuum requires Miele F/J/M filter bags. Attachments include a round swiveling dust brush, a crevice tool, and a 5” upholstery foot. The motor has 6 power settings, and the floor brush has 2 height settings.This is a very easy vacuum to unbox and put into action. Snap the hose in place on the canister, attach the handle and telescoping tube, attach the floor brush, and you’re good to go. Changing bags and filters is also quite simple.I tested this vacuum side-by-side with the other vacuums I had in the house (2 Miele canisters and a Bissell upright). I sprinkled a heavy coat of flour onto a Persian carpet and gave each vacuum one pass to see how well it could pick up the flour. This vacuum did quite well compared to the Bissell upright, although it left a few more streaks behind than my old Miele C1 model. (See photo; this Miele is 2nd from the left) I think the difference in cleaning between the two Miele C1 models may be due to the foot—the new foot has an extra rim of brushes around the bottom and a metal frame rather than plastic. Still, it didn’t seem to pick up as much flour from the carpet as the older foot. It may do better on other surfaces, though, such as hardwood floors.Overall, this is a quiet canister vacuum, easy to use, light weight, and it does a good job picking up dust.

The advantages of the vacuum are that it is bagged meaning you get a new filter every time you change the bag. And these bags last a long time. I am guessing I won’t use more than 2 bags a year for my 800sq hard floor apartment with no pets. I hate washing filters because all that garbage goes down your pipes and it’s just gross. Especially if you have pets, it just never gets clean.
The canister model makes it so easy to get under furniture and keeps the weight on the ground. Best for low carpet and hard floors.
The floor attachment works for both floors but I would recommend the air driven brush for any carpet and the swivel floor tool for hard floor. The swivel brush moves around things very easily.
I find the cord length easily reaches all around my home and I don’t miss the extra 6 feet from the C3 model.
Of course suction power is great, I find meile much better at picking up both small and large particles because of the varying length of bristles on the brush. Dyson tends to be very good for small particles but pushes around large particles.
The vacuum is lightweight and as mentioned before, the weight stays on the ground.
It stores well with a brush holder on the back and the side.
I also like the fact that this is corded. The trend for cordless worries me because batteries wear out so quickly. Just think of your cell phone. I have used meile vacuums that are more than 20 years old and I don’t see that happening with the cordless brands.
Probably more details of a vacuum than most people think about, but these are the things that make cleaning easier and this vacuum makes cleaning easy.
