    The Miele C1 Classic Pure Suction. You'll notice I've got a slightly older "Olympus" model, but as far as I can tell, it's the same thing - no other way to do a long term review. I go into depth about long term ownership, how it has held up, how well it SUCKS, and a general overview of features.

    1) 5:16 Is the valve on the bag get stuck like that often?
    2) Does the bag spew dust out easily as you pull it out with stuck valve?
    3) Is it noticable when the bag is full? Lower suction or something? It will be used by my grandparents, they could fail to see the indicator.
    4) How long does it take for you to fill up the bag?
    5) Do you ever smell the dust in the air? Exhaust filter never fails?
    6) Did you happen to try it on very uneven hard floor? We have a section of old wooden floor that go up to 1/5 on an inch below the highest point (between the planks). Do you think it can be a problem?
    7) If the hose doesnt seal the bag properly the dust can go around the bag. Does the space for the bag ever gets dirty?
    Thanks for your review. This kind of long term reviews are the only ones relevent. Seing how it gets worn, what could go wrong after a while is priceless.

    • @Bootstrappin
      @Bootstrappin  Před 3 lety +2

      Only if overstuffed. Just use the indicator to tell when the bag needs to be refilled, but yes suction gets worse. Couple of months. No dust smell. Does fine with uneven surfaces.

    In Australia and was heavily considering this. But my apartment will be all carpet. Wondering if you could simply get a different attachment to fix that downside?

    • @Bootstrappin
      @Bootstrappin  Před 3 lety +1

      So they have this "turbo brush attachment" which powers the brush off of the vacuum. Even without it I think the vacuum does well in low shag/pile. But for a lot carpeting, try the Turbo: amzn.to/3lJpFvZ

    • @gitarmac
      @gitarmac Před 3 lety +1

      I have the grey one. I mostly just pull if I use it on a rug. I got an aftermarket turbo brush off of Amazon that works well. I also have a rainbow and not much carpet. I love the rainbow but you can't exactly whip it out on a moment's notice. The miela works so well though that I don't break the rainbow out but once a month or so. I use the miela every day.

  • @bkhollyr
    @bkhollyr Před 2 lety

    Hi!!! I just got a C1 last week. I love it!! I do have a question that you may know the answer to. When you are vacuuming does the indicator light fluctuate orange as the suction changes? The other day I was vacuuming and I noticed that the indicator kept going up and down when I switched from a low pile rug to hardwood. Thanks for the thorough review!

    • @Bootstrappin
      @Bootstrappin  Před 2 lety +1

      It does -- yes, that's normal. It fluctuates due to the flow changing. You only want to switch the bag when the indicator is orange 100% of the time, more or less.

    5:15 - very unexpected.
    This vacuum cleaner is positioned as an excellent filtering.
    But when the bag is full, the lid of the bag does not close and the dust will calmly fall into the air.
    So if you are an allergic person you need to change the bag without waiting for maximum filling, right?

      So the turbo brush says it'll clean low to medium shag carpeting. It has no motor - just has a spinning brush powered by the vacuum suction. It'll probably get snagged in the shag. For that, the C3 with its powered head will probably work, but the price is very high: amzn.to/2AbBRSM

    @OhPhuckYou Před rokem

    The C1 Pure Suction fits a very odd niche. It's incredibly powerful, but really only practical on hard floors and above ground cleaning, and it still plows large debris on hard flooring with the combo head. I've had better luck cleaning hard floors with a cheap little Bissell stick vac. Using the combo head on carpet is just unreasonable. No matter what suction you have it on it is a nightmare to push, and it's hard to lift the head to drag since the suction makes it adhere to carpet. It also plows everything on carpets since it produces such a ridiculous seal. Picking up pet or human hair? It'll get 3/4 of the hair and embed the rest in the pile of the carpet or bunch the hair up into a ball. Buying a $129 Miele Turbo head or a $30 knockoff turbo head makes it much more practical for carpets, but after spending roughly $400 on a vacuum I feel like one shouldn't have to spend more and deal with a turbo head that gets clogged with anything larger than salt.
    Incredibly well built vacuum for the price, incredible section (I can only describe the suction as violent), not made in China, and one does not have to deal with dirty dust bins if dust bothers them. Aftermarket bags are cheap as well, but the combo head makes it such a disappointment for the average US consumer given how much we love carpet.
    I'd be very disappointed and borderline angry if I spent this much on a vacuum that doesn't do anything excellently. Luckily I bought mine brand new for $60 and I'm a vacuum nerd; so I enjoy the novelty of it. I will definitely steer my customers to models with the power nozzle.
