The Classic C1 Pure Suction is a German-engineered canister vacuum optimized for hard floors and low-pile rugs. The chassis is constructed from high-impact ABS polymer with reinforced stress points. It features a 1,200W Vortex motor designed for a long service life of approximately 1,000 operating hours. This model uses a bagged system with 9-layer electrostatically charged fibers to ensure dust is trapped securely during cleaning and disposal.
Specifications include a 29.5-foot operating radius and an AirClean gasket system. The included floor head is designed for "pure suction," which means it uses airflow rather than a brushroll to lift debris. On very plush carpets, this high airflow can cause the head to stick to the floor; using the suction control dial on the canister allows you to reduce the pull for easier movement on textiles.
Practical features include 360-degree castor wheels that provide excellent tracking behind the user. The unit comes with a standard filter that can be upgraded to a HEPA filter if improved air quality is needed for the home. The attachments are held on an external clip, which makes them easy to access but can be bumped during use.
If your home has a significant amount of medium-to-high pile carpeting, you might prefer the Miele Classic C1 Turbo Team, which includes a turbine-driven brush for better carpet agitation.
High-quality motor engineering is a hallmark of the premium models found in the upright and canister vacuums collection.
