For decades Electrolux vacuum cleaners were my go-to for home vacuum cleaning. When Electrolux departed the vacuum cleaner business in 2017 the quality of remaining vacuum collection bags for their machines steadily decreased to the point of complete inadequacy.
Since my October 1, 2021 purchase of this Miele Complete C3 Marin Canister Vacuum Cleaner not once have I experienced any problems. It is living up to its Consumer Reports #1 rating for Upright Canister Vacuum Cleaners for it is well built of solid components and user friendly.
NOTE: I strongly urge YOU to discard the factory-installed collection bag. Chances are high it is dated. This means the bag's suction seal may not be as strong as store-purchased bags always are and have been for me since my purchase on Oct. 1, 2021.
My household consists of four medium-size rescued dogs and three rescued cats. There are numerous area rugs on top of hardwood floors throughout my two-level home. This includes three large kitty litter boxes containing non-clay kitty litter which does end up outside of the boxes across the laundry room rug.
I decided on this Miele vacuum cleaner because the Power Brush seems to have the most power of all Miele models. I am very happy with this machine and its six vacuum-power settings in addition to the five Power Brush settings depending on carpet pile height.
This machine is quieter than my Electrolux UltraOne Series canister vacuum was and it is lighter in weight, too! My Miele Complete C3 Carin is very easy to maneuver around the room while vacuuming.
The air filtration quality of the Miele GN model bags can't be beat. Never have I encountered a sneezing attack while vacuuming throughout my house nor have I ever picked up on foul pet hair odors while vacuuming because of these bags in addition to the filter on the machine.
The electric cord length is more than adequate. I highly recommend you hold the cord and provide resistance while engaging the foot pedal to begin the self-coiling mechanism. This will help the electrical cord recoil with ease.
Chances are high you will need to adjust the wand height when switching from the Power Brush to the Parquet (hardwood) Floor brush. It took a little while for me to get to know which buttons need to be pressed and/or released when adjusting the wand height and the brush nozzle, as well as when switching between cleaning heads (Power Brush vs Parquet Brush).
While vacuuming if you tilt the wand all the way to an upright position the Power Brush will automatically turn off while the wand remains turned on and in the upright position. This "park" position is very convenient while moving furniture and the likes.
In conclusion if you have pets I highly recommend the Mini Handheld Turbo brush. This small handheld brush is best used attached directly to the handle of the vacuum (excluding the wand) and makes for easy pet hair pick-up on furniture and what have you. It is more loud than the usual vacuum sound because of the turbo component so plan accordingly.
Happy cleaning! I think you will be very happy with this purchase.

This is a Land Rover, not a Volkswagon.
Ok, after owning a whining, loud Kenmore Progressive for 16 years that is louder then a jet taking off, I finally decided to upgrade. I went to my local vac store where the only man working didn't really seem interested in the fact that I was ready to buy one of these puppies, that day. Brick & mortar. What can I say. I watch a couple reviews on the net and after thinking it over a few days, pulled the trigger & ordered one. Amazons price was very reasonable. They put spinner wheels on this, so it slips & slides every which way, just like a piece of luggage. I like the feature. The motor is very quiet in the lower suction range and the suction power even in quiet mode is impressive, in part no doubt to the new bag in it. Put it on a higher suction mode to work the carpet attachment. Figure out which one works best for you depending on pile height. An electric one would be much better, but that would create the need for electric wiring on the hose. I only have two area rugs, the rest of my house is hardwood. The floor brush is about 12'' wide and allows you to really cover floor area in a hurry. I think the loudest noise comes from the suction at the floor brush. Accessory tools are very easy to interchange, just listen for the 'click'. Picture shows the floor & carpet attachement where they attach on the vacuum, the rest are under a little door. I do wish there was an on/off switch on the handle, but again, that would require electric wiring on the hose. So foot switch it is. I find myself supporting my self with the wand/hose to keep from falling over, as you have to raise your foot about 7'' to touch the switch. The cord rewind is the same way, hold on to something. But I am elderly so I try & be extra careful. A younger person may not have that issue. I know the more expensive models come with an electric carpet attachment, but decided I dint need one, so i saved a few hundred $$. The 4 stars are only because of the carpet attachment, otherwise, 5 it would be. I would definitely recommend.
