Best praise vs top criticism for Miele Complete C2 Hard Floor
“At the end of day it's setup to be a generalist for most people in the world and shag carpet is probably out of the effective range. I have a Dyson stick that just happens to be easier work with since it's weak and the brush roll doesn't bite into the carpet. Had to find creative ways with the E3 to approach the shag like using a weaker turbo brush at high suction power that didn't even come with a E3 but the lower E2. I only have 1 shag rug in my house. There's no way a C1, C2, e1, e2 will beat a E3+et1 on regular carpet cause they don't have a power head. Basically you had to pay 2x more to get from a D grade to a B grade on normal carpet. Other benefits is, that et1 power head can fit under most of the furniture and all the beds in my house and nothing else can get under there. That's worth my time. I think the E3 is pretty good at cleaning car interiors compared to any awkward upright. I can throw the unit in the back seats, use the attachment, hand turbo or power head directly on the handle and it'll do a great job. Why do you pay all this money for a sebo?, it either fits your situation or it doesn't and maybe you need an "at home demo" to know that.”
“I have had the same problem using genuine Miele bags on both my S558 and my C2 Compact Electro.Plus. The bag dock is a terrible design. I have had a properly seated bag pop out as I closed the lid. Both vacuums have done this to me. Now I stick my finger down into the hole after closing the lid and feel to make sure the stupid bag is correctly seated.”
