Tips For Miele Vacuum Cleaners - An Miele Owners manual

[@Winterz54321]

Just got my Complete C3 and I’m thankful for your video!! The tips are most helpful!! This is my second Miele (my first is in storage and I knew about none of these tips!). So… thanks!!

[@mishma32oulsalam]

I never thought i would enjoy watching a video about a vacuum cleaner... but here I am enjoying this :)

[@PerformanceReviews]

Thanks for watching

[@jbutler201]

This chap knows EVERYTHING about the Miele bags & filters! Total pro, who explains things simply. For my Miele, the magic 'change bag' light didn't come on, and after watching this video, I checked my vacuum. Puffed up with dust like a microwave popcorn bag (not good)! Using a Miele bag = no mess with bag change-out due to precise fit. Also appreciated details on HEPA filter. Got confused when I saw those little pads in the box for the bagd. Did I need to put the filters in the white plastic grid box? Trusty expert's answer: NO -- a new HEPA filter is what I need (HEPA filters NOT bundled in box with bags). Thank you!! Miele vacuums are powerful and easy on your back.

[@snowman7234]

This video convinced me to buy my Miele C3 and I cannot thank you enough. It sounds ridiculous that I went hunting for a vacuum video but I have two huskies and my spouse has dust sensitivity: i NEED to vacuum daily. I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos - super appreciated! Honestly, if Miele were to increase their prices by a couple hundred, I'd still recommend the thing. Absolute gem of a device. :)

[@PerformanceReviews]

Glad I helped you find a Miele vacuum that worked for you! Thanks for watching!

[@Xanduur]

The old stuff never dies. We still have a Kirby from the 1960s and it works just fine.

[@PerformanceReviews]

Except it doesn't filter🤣

[@teamcgc8175]

Most definitely helpful wow. I’m so loving my new machine. Ty for all these tips. So glad I never have to worry again about buying another vacuum! At least for 10 years+!

[@PerformanceReviews]

Thanks for watching. Enjoy your Miele.

[@freedomthroughspirit]

I adore my 1998 White Star -- it's had ZERO services but finally now -- 2022 -- it needs one. I'll likely be a Miele fan forever as it's been such a workhorse and I'm not exactly gentle with it. Great video.

[@TheKitchenTechnician]

C3 premium excellence just went on sale. $300 off!

[@kian4645]

I have c3 comfort powerline for more than 2 years..i definitely believe that miele has the most clean and the only dust-free bag compartment among all vacuum cleaner brands..i wondered when i checked it after around one year to replace the bag..i usually use my vacuum every other day( because i have pet) through 2 weeks in a month..its very quite..its smart on auto mode and changes the suction power according to the hard or soft floor..miele is really immer besser.

[@MrThommCollins]

Concise information delivered in a clear and engaging manner. The bag-less Miele canister, which I've purchased, is not covered here, but this video is still quite useful. Thank you!!

[@GrandScenicHomes]

I have a Miele. I think suction is great! I have the bagless model. Never Any problems. My BIGGEST Complaint on the canister is the stupid WHEELS, which by your review videos, all the canisters have the same kind of wheel. They do not role well at all. They even get caught up on it's own cord.

[@nancybroer4712]

Very practical and helpful to me as I just was given a Miele which I truly love so far. Thank you.

[@SigrunHT]

Thank you, that was an excellent explanation of how they work. I've only just bought mine so this was extremely helpful. Much appreciated.

[@dutchesscarniegegordon56]

[@scottonasch8819]

What a great and informative video. My very first Miele was that yellow 90s one which my friend still has and still works perfectly.

[@kc5077]

Great video, I only wish I had known about Miele vacuums sooner. I love how quiet Miele vacs are even on full power. I think that the loud and high pitched noise of cheap and cordless vacuums is one of the main things that people hate about vacuuming.

[@nicholask516]

Maybe do a guide for all of Sebos Canisters.

Helpful guide there. Clearly explained and useful tips. Great job thanks!

Picking up my very first Miele today; it's a C1 turbo? I have a mix of hardwood floors and carpet in my 1,500 square foot home. I've read that the C1 doesn't worker super well on carpets but I'm willing to try it out before I make a final decision!

[@anneshenanagans7488]

Would have been nice if your talked about the hepa filter

[@Robert-sy9ji]

I used my Miele C3 dog and cat 3 times since I got it. I opened the canister compartment after watching this video, only to find dirt all inside the canister and thin foam filter clogged with dirt. Granted, I did open the canister compartment several times to look at the bag and filters, without realizing I needed to re seat the bag each time I opened it. I changed the thin foam filter and put in a new bag(making sure it was fully inserted before closing the lid. I hope this extra precaution keeps dirt from getting inside the vacuum again. Or my vacuum cleaner will die an early death.

[@TC-hf2lh]

Looking forward to receiving my Miele C3 tomorrow. They look like a lovely bit of kit!

[@debbiedebbie9473]

I have a Eureka that looks like the yellow canister vacuum. I sucked up some water and need to fix it now. It had great suction. I hate to just throw it away.

So that 1994 vacuum looks like an FJM? that's fantastic they have been using the same bags for so long that's what I came looking for thankyou 😊

[@PerformanceReviews]

Yes it's an FJM bag. I have a 1986 Miele vacuum that uses the GN bag

[@chloeleedow7250]

@@PerformanceReviews wow that's around the year I was born haha, fantastic, my first time buying this brand I got the smallest c1 and wow that thing has some power on full it almost cant be pushed across the floor. Very happy with my purchase and that they support their products for 3 decades plus, I always worry with new things how long a brand will have spare parts but with Miele this seems a complete non issue 😊

[@lizzielein777]

Thanks sooo much for mentioning to laundry sheets 😂 now I know that I’ll just let them suck it up and all good 🎉

[@garethsaunders5356]

I recently bought a Miele C3 Cat and Dog Powerline and I'm very happy with the product. I'm using the blue tab GN Hyclean bags, but the bags don't have a bottom open slide like I've seen in other bags so everything has to come out the same hole it went in which can be a filthy job. Are there other bags that I can buy that I easier to clean?

[@SkylineFinesse]

Hey, it’s only been 5 hours so there’s still time. Don’t re use the bag!! They are meant to be allergen sealed and disposed of.

[@Garth2011]

Same motor and performance with all of those canister models? Appears to be. How often to those power cord winders break? I saw literature on a Cirrus canister that said it pulled 85 inches of water column. How much are these Miele models pulling?

Hi! Need your advise please. We bought 1989 y.o. house with original central vacuum Kenmore. 2 month after vacuum stop work but that was just charcoal brush, $25 CAD but during replacing by myself I damage a bit aluminum cooling fan (lamb/amatek motor). It's working now but in any moment that fan will fly off and destoy motor. Got quote for new motor - around $500 CAD... So I start thinking for $600-700 just bought new unit from Costco, for $750 it can be with all attachments and around 760 air watts. But same time my wife don't really like central vac because 30 y.o. Kenmore hose a bit heavy, metal tube extensions, solid powerhead - all solid and heavy. Our house is 4 lvl split with 2400 sq ft total and 60-65% carpet. So she ask about just regular canister vacuum (we immigrants from Europe and never use or like upright vacuums) like Miele. Long story with Miele too. After did research about their models and powerheads I found $949 cad + tax C3 Excellence come with discontinued in 2018 SEB-217 without height adjustment.... C3 or cx1 with proper seb-228 cost $1100... is it not too much for just canister vacuum compare to $700-750 central vacs from Costco with attachments? I thought ok, I can buy cheapest C3, for example in Costco C3 complete for $449 it's have 2 attachments multi use + carpet air flow and I need buy separate seb-228 for $240. But... is it worth it? Or new hoses from modern central vac will be more lightweight compare to my current central vac Kenmore from 80-s? It's also so loud, will new central vac unit less noisy? I really need powerfull vacuum with motorised head for carpets, we have short hair cat Thanks

[@JohnMcMahan5]

Great video. What is your preference tool to use on bare floors with a C3? The combo tool set to hard floor or the twister? I’ve gone back and forth. The twister is easier to maneuver, but the design of the combo creates amazing suction and cleans so well. The combo tool can snow plow, but the wand is so light it’s not a big deal for me to pick up the head and picking up things like popcorn kernels it doesn’t seem to have a problem with. Anyway, what are your thoughts?

[@PerformanceReviews]

Personally I like both. Everyday in my house I use this attachment though. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z2OZgah7hdyMrM0

Hey, my miele complete c3 black diamont vacuums shut on the ground.. it’s super hard to use it now.. what can I do?

[@xolover7947]

I have an older Miele model (Plus S25ii) was told it is/was for the home cleaning industry. My issue is my bag full indicator is on whenever I put the hose on, it is not on when no hose is attached. I have replaced the bag and filters and ran a flexible but somewhat stiff rod thru the hose both ways twice and pulled out some thick hair strands with dust attached. I tried running again with the same result bag full (completely red) indicator on! I was wondering if the indicator could be faulty? I've always changed bags and filters (Always original Miele) regularly. One other thought, my wife and her daughter have lots of hair and I always see hair balls on the floor, not sure if that matters? Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

[@PerformanceReviews]

Bring it by your local dealer have them check the hose for clogs and adjust the full bag check indicator if necessary.

Folks, please support your local vacuum dealer. Your business (instead of ordering through Amazon) keeps them in business.

Which is the difference between Miele Complete C3 PowerLine SGDF3 and Miele Complete C3 active SGDF3?

[@PerformanceReviews]

Those are not models we get here in the United States. However typically the difference between models are accessories and filtration.

[@aozora7]

How come the prices are so different between US and EU? I got my C3 for €200 from Miele official website, while US amazon listings start at $700 for similar models.

[@PerformanceReviews]

Logistics, economic, traded relations probably play some part. UL certification isn't inexpensive and is much more thorough than overseas. US Miele's are also completely different machines internally. There's a cost difference there. Most American machines come with an electric power nozzle which is an additional set of parts altogether.

In northern Ireland an s8 would cost 167

Took them 2 weeks to fix it but a full 3 months to refund the agreed 50% of the repair cost.
