Equipment & Processing:
The design of the Complete C3 is very ... let's say classically. While almost all manufacturers now roll over with futuristic design (which does not have to be good in terms of handling ever), the Complete works almost C3 a bit retro. The plastic surface is (unfortunately) run in a glossy finish (red), which I think in a vacuum cleaner is inappropriate because it looks unsightly quickly. Unfortunately, now many manufacturers choose the Hopchglanz materials.
On large wheels Miele has waived this integrated and invisible under the housing. The underside is made of black plastic and there is a revolving rubber strip that protects items in fender benders. Great detail, which I have so far, although still missing, but never seen.
At the top there is not a regular knob but two keys (plus / minus) with which the suction power can be adjusted in 6 steps. Below the on / off button and the button for the Komfortkabelaufwicklung is (once press, complete cord rolls) attached.
It is also great solved that when Miele accessories (upholstery nozzle, crevice nozzle, Büstendüse) can be stowed under a one stone in the device itself, not a shaky, constantly falling accessory holder.
Miele sets the device in an active nozzle for animal hair removal from carpets and a normal nozzle for sucking kurflooringen carpets and smooth floors.
Inside there is an additional exhaust filter that eliminates odors with change indicator and the vacuum cleaner bags Type G / N.
The intake manifold is high quality and the good ports solved also located on the handle an additional Zulufteinstellung for power control.
Overall, the unit is very stable and it feels high quality. The price puts a bit by the additional active floor nozzle.
Handling:
The best comes first: The Miele rolls like a 1 on smooth floors. You can tell sometimes not that he follows a. This makes the all 3 rolls are rotatably supported, he is very agile and there is virtually no risk of tipping over. The suction tube is pleasant to lean flexibly without kinking. The suction tube can be adjusted easily and all connections raced clean and fed a. Until then, everything was great. But there are also a few small points that are not so great. So the cable can be a little stiff out of the housing (the housing tilts something aside). The simple nozzle is also compared to other manufacturers a little higher, so that one no longer comes under circumstances under all furniture. In addition, she sucks in high power levels a bit on the ground firmly and is difficult to move which makes handling somewhat tarnishes. The active nozzle slides Due to the principle not quite gesschmeidig on carpets.
But these little things makes up for it by the Miele other details. So is the simple nozzle on both sides can be switched (suitable for left and right handed) and also the housing, there are holders for the suction pipe on both sides in the upright parking position, top. The Saugleistungsverstellung via buttons on the device is also good, that they can be operated with the foot and thus eliminates the need to bend down. The Komfortaufwicklung works great and is a plus in handling.
Suction power:
Stark. The device has a decent suction on smooth floors, which was also to be expected in the power consumption but. It is on par with our Dyson and the Philips 9197, which also has a powerful suction. The flat die makes short nap on carpets and smooth floors a good figure. In favor of the volume ranges here from a smaller Saugleistungseinstellung to absorb even coarser dirt easily.
In langfloorigen carpets the turbo nozzle nocht properly what rausholt from the carpets. Had particular with hair here all our vacuum cleaners so far as their problems. In a previously sucked carpet and then vacuuming with Miele and the turbo brush was found quite a lot of dirt in the previously empty vacuum cleaner bag. Very good.
The odor reduction while vacuuming will also work very well (tested with a drizzled with scented oil cotton swab). The smell is not entirely eliminated but greatly weakened.
Power consumption:
Although the Miele consumes less than its predecessor, but is not exactly one to sparsamsten.1450 Watt measured power consumption make the device not just for eco suckers, especially since the suction is roughly on par with the 850 watt Philips 9197. But if one compares the actual time savings effect in the new efficiency labels, so the savings turns out to be so marginal that for me it is no longer the decisive criterion.
Volume:
Rather average. There are quite quieter models (eg, the Silence Force Rowenta). There are on the device, although an extra noise-minimizing Saugleistungseinstellung, but just reduce the power of almost 1000 watts and thus the suction power as a whole. Here, the Miele cuts only durchscnittlich.
Follow-up costs:
The filter must be changed regularly active (according to its display) and strikes with currently just under 14 euros. The original filter bags are very high-priced, but there is also effective replacement third party. Here you should definitely compare.

+ Active nozzle for carpets langfloorige very good
+ High suction

Conclusion:
The Miele Complete C3 is a very good vacuum cleaner, not only for cat and dog owners. The active nozzle performed just on langfloorigen carpets a very good job, the suction is strong and the Miele has many thoughtful details that in everyday life quite its added value (Rubberized protective edge, geeingete foot adjustable suction power, Komfortaufwicklung, left / right-handed design , the housing board tool) etc. The power consumption is a little high compared to other models, but the consequent overspending are marginal. Even the slightest, he is not, but a very good vacuum cleaner with high quality finish. Compared better than the Philips 9197th Can I recommend in good conscience.
