If there’s one vacuum that delivers across the board, it’s the Miele Classic C1 Turbo Team. Real Simple crowned it the best overall canister vacuum for its powerful suction, ease of use, and ability to tackle every surface with precision. Whether you’re cleaning plush carpets, delicate hardwood, or tricky upholstery, this vacuum transitions effortlessly between tasks.

Tested over six months in a real home environment, the Miele consistently outperformed standard upright vacuums. Users loved its lightweight feel, smooth-gliding wheels, and easy-to-switch attachments. The retractable 18-foot cord and thoughtfully designed hose made maneuvering around furniture a breeze. Plus, its bagged system made emptying dust and debris cleaner and more convenient than bagless models.

For homeowners looking for a vacuum that blends power with versatility, the Miele Classic C1 is the gold standard. Its high-performance suction and ergonomic design make it a clear winner for any household.


"Compared to the Shark vacuum we own at home, this one has better settings, is quieter, can tackle different surfaces more effectively, and is overall easier to work with—a win on all fronts in our book."
