Best praise vs top criticism for Miele Classic C1 Pure Suction
“If this is your primary vacuum, don’t get anything cordless. They’re supplement vacuums to a good weekly deep clean corded/bagged vacuum. Primary: Miele C1 pure suction, Sebo k2 kombi, Henry 160 Secondary/stick: LG A9 or Bissell airram”
“Definitely avoid the shark like the plague. Grab a Miele C1 pure suction, Sebo k2 kombi or Henry 160. These will all work exceptionally well on your flooring. I don’t have a good rec for robot vacs though.”
