It will change the way you think about vacuuming

I have Persian rugs, hardwood floors, brick and tile and this vacuum cleaner does them all well. I also have short haired dogs and cats and live in the woods so there's a lot to vacuum around here. I've always had Kenmore canister vacuums that last forever and wanted a vacuum that I didn't have to replace every few years so I spent the extra money to hopefully get what they promise on that front. I also spent extra money on this C3 model because it is made in Germany. The case is made of heavy yet lightweight plastic and features a small rubber bumper so it won't scratch walls or break plastic if you bump into something. The accessory has a high quality finish, without any strange plastic seams that collect dirt. The hose and pipe are made of heavy materials. I have to carry the can up three different types of stairs, including a narrow spiral staircase, and it's very easy. The case is thin enough that climbing stairs while holding the hose and tube is not uncomfortable. The machine is well designed, I pay attention to that in everything I buy. It's easy to change speed, turn on and off with your foot, so you don't have to bend down every time you want to turn off or change speed. The retractable cord is very good and I'm used to the Kenmore. This protects the cable from damage and also makes transport and storage easier. A few things I miss about my old Kenmore that I didn't get on this model are the on/off switch on the handle, the ability to go from floor to carpet with the fan brush, and the 360 degree swivel hose on the canister holder. This machine comes with a hardwood floor attachment which I read in many reviews was a great tool and I totally agree it is there and you can certainly leave it on to vacuum your carpets , but the turbo brush that comes with the kit is also a much better tool for cleaning low-pile carpets. That's why I first vacuum all the non-carpet spots, then switch tools and return to the carpet vacuum. It hurts a bit, but it's not scary. The biggest problem is that you have to take an extra floor nozzle with you when you go up the stairs while holding the vacuum cleaner. Again, not really scary, just a little painful. I haven't had a problem with the turbo brush becoming clogged with hair, but I have short haired pets. I went for a full one, mainly because the canister keeps the other attachments (crevice, upholstery, and wall brushes) inside, making it easier to work with. for transport and less risk of losing tools. The variable speed motor is much quieter than any vacuum I've ever owned. My pets no longer go crazy when I vacuum. There is a switch on the Turbotool that allows you to reduce the suction power when you lift the carpet off the floor. There's also a cool little strip of metal on the back of the handle to help remove static electricity. All you have to do is keep your hand on it while you suck. This is a good example of thoughtful design. Since I was replacing a nearly broken vacuum cleaner, I was a vacuum cleaner maniac for the first week I had a Miele. My kids thought I was crazy and wondered how I got so excited about the vacuum cleaner. It was a change in my focus to other things like cycling and things like that. But my house turned into a dust bomb and after vacuuming a carpet and seeing the dull red color change to a bright red with a beautiful pattern that I think I'm used to not seeing. Good). Almost everything went back to its original color and I quickly filled the vacuum cleaner bag. I also like that the bag and filters keep dust from getting back in the house. , most importantly, even apart from the machine's excellent job of removing dirt from carpets and upholstery, mopping floors (a parquet cutter is great for getting close to the baseboard at odd angles), it's yellow. How can you not love vacuuming with a bright yellow vacuum cleaner?
