Miele 10660810 Complete C3 PowerLine Bagged Vacuum Cleaner, Plastic, 890 W, 4.5 Litre, Black

Product Information

The C3 PowerLine doesn’t come with a HEPA filter. It does, however, include an AirClean exhaust filter which helps remove dust and other allergens from the air. Like other Miele vacuums, the C3 also has a sealed design to prevent air leakage.

Miele's C3 SoftCarpet vacuum cleaner features an Electro Plus electrobrush. This comes with a Built-in "SoftCarpet" mode that was specifically designed to provide you with the best possible results when vacuuming on soft carpets.

Summary and Key Differences

Miele Complete C3 is a series of cylinder vacuum cleaners. This line vacuum cleaner offers a large radius of operation. Also, all models feature good air filtration along with powerful suction. Each Complete C3 has variable speed motors to ensure a suitable level of power when you're vacuuming your space. In terms of weight, the Pure Red is around average for a cylinder vacuum at 7.3kg. It’s certainly not the best option if you’re looking for a lightweight vacuum, but most of the weight is pulled around on wheels (unlike with upright vacuums.) For comparison, the classic Henry cylinder vacuum weighs 8kg, while the Miele C1 Compact is a much lighter 4.3kg. Unlike the Pure Red, the Cat & Dog has a charcoal-based Active AirClean filter that helps to absorb odours. It also has the upgraded Turboteq floorhead. This has a rotating brushbar that’s powered by airflow, allowing for a deeper clean on carpeted areas. The vacuums have similar designs and sizes. The C3 is marginally bigger, with a length of 49.6cm compared to 48.7cm, but the difference is negligible. They both require roughly the same storage space. Ease of Use The onboard tool storage system (Miele C2) The Miele C3 Pure Power isn’t the best vacuum for cleaning stairs. While it’s compact enough to balance on a step, the power cord isn’t long enough to cover a whole flight of stairs. This means you’ll need to carry the heavy vacuum with you.

On the upside, the onboard storage means the tools are always to hand. There’s also no issue with running out of battery, as is the case when using a cordless vacuum cleaner to thoroughly clean a flight of stairs. Pet HairUnlike many modern vacs, the Miele C3 Complete Pure Red is a bagged vacuum. While bags are less convenient than bagless vacuums, they are more hygienic and hold far more dirt. The Miele’s bags also have a self-sealing design that prevents dust and other allergens escaping, along with an indicator for when you need to change the bag. C3 Complete Total Solution PowerLine– This model comes with a variety of extra features,, including a HEPA AirClean filter, turbo brush, and Parquet Twister for delicate hard floors. C3 Complete Performance Parquet EcoLine– This is another EcoLine version with the Parquet Twister tool. It also has an AirClean+ filter. An interesting feature is the 360° rotating hose. This allows the cleaner to follow you without jerky movements, making it easier to reach awkward areas.

The capacity of the Miele Complete C3 PowerLine is 4.5 litres. This is less than the huge Numatic Henry, but still larger than many other vacuums – especially bagless vacs. During our research for this review, we found the C3 is effective on both carpets and hard floors. This is due to a combination of strong suction and optimised airflow throughout the vacuum. It’s not the best vacuum for larger debris though. Bigger items, such as cereal, can sometimes be pushed around until you lift up the floorhead. Stairs

Which Should You Buy?

C3 Complete Silence EcoLine– This EcoLine model has a Silence AirClean filter to reduce noise output. We’re big fans of both the Miele C2 and C3. They are excellent vacuum cleaners that provide outstanding suction power, good all-round performance, and a large bagged design. The dusting brush is small enough for skirting boards and windowsills, while the upholstery tool is surprisingly useful for pet hairs. Our only complaint is that the crevice nozzle is very short, which makes it less useful for getting into tight spots. Thinking of buying the Miele Complete C3 Pure Red? Here’s our in-depth review of this vacuum cleaner to decide whether it’s the right choice for your home. There are three attachments included with the Miele C3 Complete Pure Red Powerline: a natural-bristle dusting brush, an upholstery nozzle, and a crevice tool. The accessories are built to a high-standard and the on-board tool storage means you’re less likely to lose them.

Fortunately, the C3 Pure Power’s cleaning performance is still top-notch on medium settings. You don’t always need to use the strongest power to achieve good cleaning results. Carpets Miele vacuums have a name, such as C1, C2 or C3, and a type (Complete, Compact or Classic.) “Complete” vacuums are top-of-the-line models, while “Compact” versions have a smaller capacity and slimmer design. Only the C1 is currently available as a “Classic” version, so we won’t discuss these models in this article. AirClean filter and sealed casing are effective at reducing the allergens and dust released into the air Fortunately, the mid-level settings still offer great cleaning performance, and there’s also an inlet valve if you need to adjust suction further. You can vary the suction power using foot controls, which comes in handy for using the vac on different surfaces. The strongest suction can be too much for most carpets, so this is an important feature.C3 Complete PowerLine– The basic version of the Miele C3, and the model we’ll be focusing on in this article. While these three accessories are fairly standard for modern vacuum cleaners, they are useful for cleaning skirting boards, car interiors, and staircases. It’s great that you can change the angle of the dusting brush too, as this makes it easier to clean awkward spots. Both the Miele C2 and C3 are bagged cylinder vacuum cleaners. They don’t have the convenience of a cordless vacuum cleaner, but make up for this with powerful suction and a wide cleaning radius.
