Miele Dynamic U1 Cat & Dog vs Miele Complete C3 Calima

Pounds miele's u1, upright, is a whole lot of vacuum, but it does all its intended functions well and it's easy to switch back and forth for different...

This is the meal. Ac3 Colima Canister Vacuum It comes in a canary yellow finish and has several features that make it a great addition to a home with ...

The Miele Dynamic U1 PowerLine is a corded upright vacuum with impressive build quality. It delivers superb cleaning performance on bare floors and does a great job of picking up various kinds of debris on both low and high-pile carpet. It's extremely simple to maintain, with an intuitive design that makes it easy to take apart and reassemble. There's a few quality of life enhancements, including an on-board tool rack, a self-adjusting vacuum head, and an adjustable suction level

**Miele**. We’ve got the Complete C3, and it’s amazing for our two cats, rugs, and hardwoods. (To be clear: we do not vacuum the cats, just their shedded fur.)

Lastly, the brush attachment has a swivel design but does not click in place to hold position, so that when you stroke it across any surface, the brush just swivels away from the surface. The brush loses all utility. I brought this up on a customer service call with Miele and they admitted the design flaw yet did expressed no interest in making an improvement. Overall, it's a good working vacuum but at the end of it's life cycle, I'll be looking for another model or brand that has functionality and user-experience as a higher priority

These are German made vacuums designed for long life, good filtration, and easy maintenance. This one's an upright (if you prefer that form factor over a canister), but you can detach the floor head and collapse the handle for portability when cleaning stairs with the hose.

It does use a bag. It does have a HEPA filter. It just works and it is easy to move around. This isn't the 1k dollar Miele

One of the Hepa filters arrived warped and wouldn't be able to seal. I left a message to seller 6 days ago and haven't heard back. Just left another and Amazon's automated response said to give the seller 6 more days. Unreasonable

So the bottom line is can this vacuum clean up the nemesis of my nemesis - that which is the dreaded cat sand. And to my great surprise, not only can it clean up infamous gritty kitty it doesn't sand blast your legs, arms, and eye sockets with flying chunks while doing so. That is an amazing feat. For an encore it also picks up those pesky giant clumps of hair on my hardwood floor without blowing pieces away or up into my face and eyes

For majority carpets I recommend a vacuum with a powered brushroll, manual height adjustment, and brushroll shutoff (for when you're using the hose and tools). The Miele C3 Calima is not good for a majority carpeted house.

If indeed that is the problem, it will cost us >$160 per year just in filters to manage this $700 dollar machine. Tried to get assistance from Amazon which is a joke. I believe the Amazon chat people are trained in obtuseness just to get people to give up and go away. Don't buy this product if you have animals and don't expect Amazon to help with anything

Number 2. Miele’s unique AirClean Sealed System combined with a HEPA AirClean Filter ensures over 99.9% filtration of dust and dirt, and is ideal for ...

The swivel head and attached suction hose are really nice. I ding it one star because the door to get to the bag is very hard to open and close; I'm afraid that I will break something. Save your money on the performance pack; you can buy it separately for slightly less. I bought the combination for an extra $100 over the vacuum alone

I didn't know what a canister was, so I went through your vacuum vs. price point faq, Consumer Reports, and Youtube. This led me to the Miele C3 Line. The vacuum store suggested the Calima, since I wanted massive suction and have no carpet

It swivels; it takes 3 minutes to get used to and you'll never want another vacuum. This is our second one after 15 years. Our first one kept us tidy while we had a husky, a long-haired cat, and a short haired cat -all with a double coat. This one handles four cats - two with double coats - with ease

The bags that this one will take are the GN bags and they have a blue clip on them. so examples right here. And the really nice thing is that the blue...

Do not spend this kind of money for a very poorly designed vacuum that blocks up frequently and is very difficult to clear blockage. Over priced and unreliable.

Assuming you're in the U.S., there isn't really much shopping around that can be done with the Complete C3. Miele's cheaper models (Classic C1 & Compact C1) that're available at stores like BB&B get occasional discounts, but Miele seems pretty strict about enforcing a consistent MSRP online for the high end vacuums
