Meile will not go down below a certain point. They are a premium brand that seems to use decent build quality. I took apart my c3... It's solid stuff. Maybe the circuit boards can get cheaper but honestly not likely... They built a brand name and they want to make their margins on it
Just wanted to add. My c3 has been one of my favorite purchases to date. I bought a number of cordless ones for spot clean ups including the Samsung jet top end model and everytime I use anything other than the miele I get frustrated. It has better suction on levels 1-2 than the cordless does on max and its quiet enough I can talk to someone with it running.
Wish miele, or anyone made a good bagged stick vacuum. Hate bag less clean up

Just throwing this out there for those in the market, I picked up a prolux backpack vacuum recently and I really like it. It is very powerful, bagged, and really handy for doing the whole house at once. Also, as others pointed out with canisters, it doesn't have the problem of uprights getting under furniture.
I prefer real vacuum cleaners (like these), but I don't personally like dragging around a canister so I opted for a backpack.
I bout this a few years ago, another SD frontpage, I've only had canisters previously (Dyson/shark/hoover), and with 2 dogs they never last more than a year or two, plus a mess to empty and those filters suck to clean constantly. I was very impressed with the suction and found bags very convenient. We have a yellow lab and he literally sheds tumbleweeds. This thing can suck those up from inches away, socks, dryer sheets, etc it never stops. Love this vacuum, hope I can keep it in the divorce.
Oh yeah, got a generic set of bags and filters very cheap at Amazon
I'm in the same situation as you with 2 large dogs that shed. How has your experience been with the frequency of changing out the bag, replacing the bag, and the overall lifetime cost compared to a bag-less vacuum like a Dyson?
I haven't commented much at all and use SD daily but this is too good not to pass up. I'm an engineer working as in house counsel at an engineering company.
Fun fact: we've had multiple discussions with the mechanical teams here about how wives laughed at us for buying Miele until they realized we're buying a **tool of quality** rather than a disposable cleaning appliance.
i've heard nothing but good things about these canister miele. if i had a bigger apartment with more maneuver room i'd buy one of these right now. my apartment is just too dang small. i have crazy allergies and these would help. i do have a small dog too, but as long as i vacuum regularly his fur doesn't bother me. also, he doesn't shed excessively. i really wish miele had a bagged upright. i'm looking to get a Sebo Upright. i hear they're great. Are they as good as miele canister? anyone have any experience?
Just curious if you can clean the power head on the dog and cat version along with the hose?
I have a bunch of critters and sometimes run over puke and whatnot. Soon my vac starts to stink.
And I'm tired of Shark vacs cheap plastics and worthless warranty's.

i have the c1 turbo and it won't work on it.
I struggled finding a vacuum for my deep carpet, ended up going to a dealer and buying a c1 homecare which is a dealer in person exclusive version.
