Review on 🧹 Miele Complete C3 Calima Canister HEPA Vacuum Cleaner with STB 305-3 Turbobrush Bundle - Includes Miele Performance Pack 16 Type GN AirClean Genuine FilterBags and Genuine AH50 HEPA Filter by Lisa Highter

I've only used cheap vacuums my whole life and finally decided to spend my money on a better experience. My first decision was to buy a canister vacuum because maneuvering around furniture on a vertical stand and using it on stairs was driving me crazy. When you need a canister, the choice is pretty obvious: super cheap Bissell, Kenmore or mid-range Dyson or Miele. After a few uses, I'm already convinced that the Miele is worth the money. Miele can make it easy for you to select a model from your range. Let me explain how I ended up on Calima, because maybe it will help someone else's search. My house has allergies and asthmatics so for me it was C3 Complete and not C1 due to the sealed bag system and HEPA filter. I have a decent house so I had a big house on a compact that has a pocket of about 1cc. Feet smaller than full size. It then depends on which combination of floor nozzles you want. I have a lot of hardwoods and tile, a few low-pile rugs, and a few high-pile rugs. After reading the reviews, I really wanted a hardwood turner because of its maneuverability. I also wanted a turbo brush (pneumatically driven) for carpets. Alize, the other base model in the C3 Complete range, only comes with a combination head. So I stayed with Kalima. Anyone who has a lot of carpeting is willing to spend more money on a model with an electric floor nozzle. I love this vacuum cleaner. Walking through the house with him is a pleasure. You can pull it by the hose and it never kinks. The vacuum cleaner has rubber bumpers so you don't bump into furniture or walls. The parquet roller allows you to get into small areas and near the skirting boards. You can lay the whole stick flat and tuck it under couches and dressers (which is maybe my favorite thing about walking upright). The turbo brush worked well on low-pile carpets. To make the floor tool glide easier, simply turn down the suction power a few ticks. The brush picks up a lot of hair and wraps it around the brush, but that hasn't stopped mine from spinning. The telescopic nozzle makes it easy to remove dust from the skirting board without bending over. It's super quiet (like you can talk while it's running) and the HEPA filter ensures the exhaust doesn't give off that musty vacuum cleaner smell. The only downside: the turbo brush doesn't work so well with a high pile. Carpet, but that's to be expected. However, my mats are pretty cheap and I would rather replace them than spend hundreds more on an electric brush. And I could pull them across the carpets. The brush didn't always spin, but at least there was suction. I also wish the Calima had a nicer "grip" like the Alize. It looks like a definite upgrade, although you can always buy it from Miele. I also think that homecare is part of it. (Note: The C3 Homecare nozzle is only sold by Miele dealers and to get you into the store it comes with a unique floor nozzle combination, several extra nozzles and a longer warranty. If Homecare had the right floor nozzle combination, If I just wanted, I'd probably go to a local dealer because they had it for the same $699 price as the Calima.) So if you can get past the confusion of choosing which model you want and handle the high cost, I would I can only recommend one of these vacuum cleaners. I don't know if my house was ever this clean. Oh, and the 16-bag bundle with an added $100 HEPA filter is a steal, too. A four-pack is around $20 and a HEPA filter is $50 on Miele's website.
