The Miele Compact C1 Pure Suction is an entry level Miele canister vacuum and is at the more affordable end of the Miele vacuum spectrum. Consumer ratings to date are quite good and most owners are pleased with their purchase. There are some folks that are not happy however. The key with this machine is to know what you are buying. The Miele Compact C1 Pure Suction is a compact vacuum so don’t buy it if you have a large area to clean - it is best for smaller homes or apartments. Also, it is not designed for medium or deep pile carpet. It works well on bare floors and is also capable on low pile carpet but if you have deeper pile carpet you will be disappointed.

Consumer Ratings
The Pure Suction is a fairly new vacuum (at the time of this writing) and as a result the number of owner ratings is still somewhat limited. We have, however, managed to find 39 ratings and when averaged they generate an overall score of 87.4 out of 100. This is an above average score when compared to the scores for other canister vacuums on our site (avg. score is in the low 80’s), although it is not as high as some of the other Miele vacuums we have reviewed. To compare with other canisters you can see our table of Canister Vacuum Ratings or view all vacuum ratings in our Vacuum Cleaner Finder tool.

Floor Tool
The vacuum comes with the AllTeQ Combination Floor Tool (model STB 285-3). Miele describes this as ideal for low pile carpet, rugs and smooth flooring. A foot switch (rocker switch) on top of the nozzle allows you to switch between smooth floors and carpeted surfaces quickly. The switch lowers and retracts a brush at the front of the nozzle. The tool is also quite maneuverable as it has a double-jointed connector
