The reason you are looking at spending a fortune on a top of the line Miele vacuum is probably because you care about the indoor air quality of your living space and you are trusting the HEPA-based Miele will do that for you as you clean. And maybe with other Miele models you would be right. Unfortunately, this model has a design flaw that often causes the bag to slightly eject whenever you open the bag compartment to check on it. So you need to be aware of that and ALWAYS push the bag back into its holder fully before re-closing the bag compartment.And why would you be opening the bag compartment to check on the bag, you ask? You would be doing that because half of the time you use this vacuum cleaner, the gasket in the bag does not line up properly with the hose causing some portion of the dirt and lint to empty into the chamber itself instead of the bag. This means you will spend hours having to clean out the inside of your expensive vacuum cleaner and replace all of the filters and hope that the initial drive filter protected the internals from all of that dust.I have used my Miele C3 Complete just a dozen times now, and this has happened to me on 6 occasions already. That represents at least 6 hours of my life cleaning out the vacuum cleaner after cleaning my house. Even worse, it means I can't trust it to work properly whenever using it and I have not found any fool-proof solution (yet) to keep this from happening, even while ensuring the bag is seated properly in its holder. And yes, I am only using Miele branded GN bags and all Miele filters on the unit.This is the most expensive vacuum cleaner I have ever owned. It is easily one of the worst I have ever owned for this one reason. I don't care how great the suction is or how lightweight or quiet it is (all of which is true, which is why I give it 2 stars instead of 1) when the ONE job it has to do is a FAIL 50% of the time. It makes me dread using it. And yet I continue to do so because I can't afford to buy another one.Do yourself a huge favor and research this (there are youtube videos on it) and either buy another Miele model--hoping it won't have this issue--or else buy another brand altogether.

The vacuum bag is not sealing. The valve into bag is not opening while vacuuming. All dirt/lint/nastiness gets sucked into bag compartment but not bag. The filter is all clogged and I am waiting for the engine to blow. I have replaced bag several times and this has happened every time I vacuum.

I have read lots of reviews from other people about the plus and minus of these vacuums. I am hear to share with you, this is the vacuum you will be very very happy to live with and use for years to come. It is quiet, has incredible suction and just works. For all the people out there who have complained this vacuum is to heavy, oh please. Quality is sturdy and has some weight to it. You will be very very happy when you buy your own.

My wife and I really love this vacuum cleaner. It has a powerful incredibly quiet motor that delivers what I’ll call quiet power. We own two Dysons that deliver extremely loud power. The Miele has the adjustments needed to ensure damage free vacuuming of our wonderful new wool carpet which is a huge investment. Another feature I really like is the replaceable filter that super cleans the exhaust air. It has no Oder whatsoever. This wonderful product has my highest possible recommendation. It is well worth the money. It is a beautiful well engineered Vacuum.

Little skeptical about dropping this much $ on a vacuum after having a Dirt Devil canister for 8 years, but this is worth it. House is much cleaner than before. Suction is powerful but quiet. The bag and double filter help keep vacuum fumes from filling the area. I've used it for a couple months now, no complaints. Light and easy to carry down the stairs, bags easy to change out, has all the attachments you would need for carpet, wood floors, couch cushions, window blinds and breaks down for easy storage too. I would highly recommenced buying the bundle with extra bags and filters.
