The Electro Premium electro brush is an electrically-driven carpet tool with wide brush roll and LED light for added comfort. With five adjustable height levels, the Electro Premium adapts to any pile carpeting. Brilliant offers a savvy, self-adjusting automatic setting. As you transition from hardwoods to carpeting, it automatically decreases suction, then increases suction when you return to smooth, solid flooring - saving you both time and energy. The Brilliant also includes the XL Parquet Twister - providing 180 Degree rotation for the agile, yet gentle care of smooth surfaces. A telescopic, electric, stainless steel wand and long electrical cord, with one-touch automatic rewind, provide a total cleaning radius of 36 feet. The Miele Complete C3 Brilliant is also equipped with a Deluxe Comfort Grip handle with six-stage suction controls, plus an Automatic setting, and electro brush controls. Innovative LED underbody lights and an illuminated parking system make for a truly luxurious cleaning experience. Other conveniences include three integrated accessories - a dusting brush, upholstery tool and crevice nozzle conveniently integrated into the canister - and a 3D bumper.

Easily outperformed a cordless Dyson in suction and overall cleaning action. However it is corded, and with the carpet-beating attachment on, it's heavy and not easy on the wrists. Fine for a young person but a potential problem for an older person. As expected. The instructions and hieroglyph-marked buttons on the unit are unclear. It would be nice to know what accessories are for what type of application and what the power settings should be for each. But there is no index or diagram that clarifies.

I bought the C3 Brilliant a couple of years ago and have been more than pleased with it. I used to rely on Dysons (own 4 of them) and Dysons are very good, but this Miele is a clear step above.First, it is SUPER quiet for a vacuum. The exhaust is truly clean - no odors of any kind. The filters work extremely well. There is absolutely no residual dust or dirt in the bag compartment. It's as clean as whistle which means ALL the dirt is going into the bag. Suction with the power head for carpets is amazingly strong. You can feel it lifting up the carpet. Much more powerful than the Dysons. Maneuverability is excellent and having the controls right on the handle is really convenient.Yup - it is pricey, but it it is the best vacuum you will ever own.

I was in the market for a new vacuum. My old Miele I purchased back in the late 1990s was finally wore out. It was still able to suck up dirt, but it took too many passes to do a great job. So, obviously, since my old Miele lasted about 30 years I would check out another Miele. I did my due diligence in shopping, though. I looked at the competitors and read plenty of reviews, but I finally had to settle on the Miele C3 Brilliant and I am happy I did!Cons: Expensive. Competitors are a little less money, such as a Dyson. Bag capacity is small compared to the capacity of a bag-less upright model, which means in the long term I will spend a little more money to clean with the Miele than I would with a bag-less vacuum (just comparing bagged versus bag-less).Pros: The Miele C3 Brilliant is built to last! The quality of the vacuum has improved over the top the line model I purchased in the late '90s which says allot about how serious the company is about producing a great product. Suction surpasses my expectations. I vacuumed up quit a bit of dirt that had been left behind by my old Miele. HEPA filter works quite well! I like that the air coming out of the exhaust is filtered, no more dust returning into the air from vacuuming is really good! The LED lighting is bright which is terrific for seeing under beds and tables. The vacuum heads that come with the C3 Brilliant Complete are all top-notch construction. In particulare, the SEB-236 Powerhead really does work my carpet, giving it a fresh, restorative, look and especially in high traffic areas (a much needed feature since I rent an apartment). Furthermore, I can get under the bed with the SEB-236 quite nicely. The SBD 285-3 does an excellent job on my vinyl flooring and reaches into areas a broom can't really clean as well. It works well on carpet, too, and reaches under cabinets and hutches where the SEB-236 sits a little too high. The vacuum tools all are of great quality and there is really nothing to complain about. They do their jobs which is all I ask for. The warranty on the Brilliant model is exceptional and that alone makes the purchase price more appealing.Purchasing the Performance Pack was a good deal. I have enough vacuum bags to last a year, at least. The different floor heads in the package deal are much needed.Over all, I would buy the Miele C3 Brilliant again without hesitation. The delivery was fast, well packaged, and set up of the vacuum was easy. I am not at all disappointed with this product at this time.

I have owned a Kirby Upright forty years and has been indestructible. But awkward to move around and I purchased a couple of handheld Dyson based upon TV ads and the such. I really liked the flexibility of a battery operated vacuum. I did not like the small container and all the dust when emptying. They were okay for small cleanup projects but I was never really happy with them as a main vacuum for the house. When one the vacuums quit working I called customer service and was told I could get 20% off on new vacuum. That is when I searched for a better vacuum by searching the internet. The Reviews for Miele were always good with a common complaint being the price. Anywhere from $400 to $1,600 for a Miele. I ended up buying the most expensive of all the models. I can not tell you about the lesser priced models but I am so happy that I purchased the one with all the whistles. What a quiet vacuum. The canister is so lightweight and maneuverable that I don't use the Dyson anymore. The HEPA feature is perfect. I would smell the foul odor from the Dyson and it was a HEPA. The switch on the handle is a great feature and use it several times during a normal session. I got the best of all worlds with this model. I did need to do more planning when vacuuming a floor and that took so getting used to. But after I used the suggestions from Miele I learned to love the vacuum even more.Great ProductVery noticeably a cleaner carpet and does not damage expensive carpets if used properly.Last weekend I used the Miele on the pickup. Yes it was a little heavier than the Dyson but when I started to vacuum the pet hair and dirt I was so glad I purchased a real vacuum and not a toy or gimmick. Today I am purchasing additional crevice tools. I don’t usually review products but I am so pleased to recommend this product I have spent the time to write a glowing recommendation.

Vacuum cleaner arrived on December 12, 2020. Unpacked it the next day and used it. Loved the way it sucked up dirt and grit, moves easy and very easy to use. Seemed perfect until...30 minutes in, the unit just quit. I thought we blew a fuse. Nope, the C3 just quit, never to turn on again. It is now repacked and waiting for UPS to pick it up, and Amazon issue a refund. I would like one that works, but not sure I trust where this was sent from. Was it a refurbished? Looked new, but you don't pay $1500 for a vacuum that only works 30 minutes! Miele has a good reputation, but something is off about this one...
