Reviews: MIELE C1 vs C2 vs C3 – What are The Difference? 2022 Updated

SO, WHAT’S THE BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MIELE C1 vs C2 vs C3:

Miele has some common things in these three versions:

Now we are going to compare these three models at some point:

1. Adjustable Suction of Vacuum Cleaner:

All these models have a 1200 watt Vortex motor with 6 suction speeds, optimized for different surfaces. So you can adjust suction depending on what you’re cleaning.

In C1 and C2, you can adjust suction with a dial knob on the body of the vacuum. In C3, the adjustment is done with foot pedals.

So you can decide which one is more comfortable for you.

2. Dual Floor Heads of Vacuum Cleaner:

All three models come with two cleaning heads, appropriate for different floor types, which give you plenty of versatility.

Miele C1 has two heads:

*The Turbo Comfort Floor Head

*The Parquet Twister Nozzle

Turbo Comfort is good for low-pile and medium-pile carpet. The Parquet Twister is suitable for hard floors.

But Miele C2 and C3 come with Extra-Wide and Five Height Adjustable floor heads. The Five Height head is good for plush carpeting. So between these two heads, you can clean all types of floor.

So when it comes to dealing with carpet, C2 and C3 are a step ahead of C1.

3.Telescopic Above-Floor Reach:

You probably want your whole house to be clean, not just the floor. To help you clean your house from top to bottom, Miele has equipped all these vacuums with a stretchy, durable hose and a telescopic wand. This makes it easy to reach the walls and ceilings.

The wand is very sturdy and made of stainless steel, so you don’t have to worry about dents.

Also, with all three models, you will get three great accessories:

1. A dusting brush
2. An upholstery tool
3. A crevice nozzle

With C1 and C2 you will get a VarioClip, which is a handy accessory designed to hold these three attachments so they’re always on hand. As a replacement of VarioClip, Miele C3 has an onboard caddy with a hinged lid.

So in this category, we can say that Miele C1, C2, and C3 are pretty much even.

4. Vacuum radius:

All Miele vacuums come with a long cord so that you can get a wider vacuum radius.

• Miele C1 cleaning radius: almost 29 feet
• Miele C2 cleaning radius: almost 33.5 feet
• Miele C3 cleaning radius: almost 36.5 feet

The cord is also easily retractable with a single push of the automatic cord rewind button. So you can adjust the cord length to whatever is convenient.

All of these have a good vacuum radius, but C3 is the largest.

5. Light and Portable:

All Miele vacuums are lightweight, and it’s very easy to carry them from place to place.

• Miele C1 – 13 pounds
• Miele C2 – 14.5 pounds
• Miele C3 – 15 pounds

All three models also roll smoothly. Instead of four wheels, Miele vacuums have one pair of wheels and one pair of casters. This ensures smooth movements and 360-degree turns. The rubberized texture on the wheels leaves no marks on the floor.

So all three models are easy to move around your house.

The handle configuration is different between the models. Miele C1 has an angled handle for wrist comfort. But C2 and C3 have a handle over the wand connector, which also feels very comfortable.

Again, it’s a tie between the three models.

6. Filtration System Totally Sealed:

Are you someone who doesn’t like to get their hands dirty? Are you afraid of replacing the dust bag in your vacuum? Or perhaps have dust allergies. Don’t worry… Miele has taken care of these problems. In all these models, the dust bag is completely sealed. The bag comes with an auto-seal opening, which instantly closes when the bag is inserted into the vacuum cleaner or removed. So the dust stays inside the bag and can never come out. The bag also has nine protective layers, ensuring that it can’t rupture.

Dust bag capacity is slightly different between these three models.

• Miele C1 – 0.9 gallons
• Miele C2 – 1.2 gallons
• Miele C3 – 1.2 gallons

In terms of the filtration system, each Miele vacuum has three filters:

1. A motor-protection filter: traps large particles that could clog the motor.
2. An exhaust filter: filters the air that exits the vacuum.
3. The AirClean HEPA filter: captures 99.99 percent of allergens.

These filters have a 50-hour lifetime. After that time, they should be replaced. An indicator light will warn you when it’s time to replace the filters.
