So I was using the Amazon app on my phone, and found something new in the menu: I discovered Amazon Spark, which is some kind of shopping feed for Prime members.
I came across a lady asking if a Miele Complete C3 Cat and Dog canister vacuum is worth the splurge, or if a Dyson Ball Animal 2 is the way to go. I am NOT helping her out here, nor am I buying a new vacuum; I'm doing this for fun. What are your thoughts on these vacuums? Link to the Miele: a.co/fNo3vvO... Link to the Dyson: a.co/aHGzDLD...

I would say the Miele C3 Cat & Dog is better than the Dyson Ball Animal 2.
BUT, that is IF you want a bagged vacuum, with a HEPA filter that would need replacement at least once every couple of years, with the associated expense of bags & filters. Also depends if you are ok with dragging a canister vs pushing a upright. However, if you want a upright, the Dyson is the clear winner over the Miele U1 uprights. Dyson hasn't had the same issues Miele had with the reliability of the stretch hoses, as well as a overly complex design that is much more difficult to repair & service. Dyson steers & swivels just as nicely as the Miele, onboard hose & tools are just as nice & their optional acccessories are better than Miele's. Both machines incorporate some form of cleaner head adjustment, but Dyson's is far more simple & less complex than Miele's design. I would also bet that Dyson has the same airflow & suction thru the hose as the Miele, & of course Dyson's bagless design IS superior in the marketplace & yet to be rivalled for a bagless. If you're going to do bagless, Dyson or the water filtration vacuums is your best choices. Rob |

Or, don't waste your money on either of these machines and just get a used Aerus-Electrolux that will outlive both of them. |

Out of these two choices, I would go with the Miele, the quality will be better than a Dyson. If they want a bagless machine, a separator water filtration machine is the way to go. If they don't want to pay for the expensive water machines, get a Sirena or Quantum, they clean just as well at 1/3 of the price. Mike |

My family used to own a Eureka Ultra ESP a long time ago, but I didn't use it, as I was too young to use a vacuum back then.
What I have used are, in a couple of commercial places, a Eureka Boss SmartVac and an Oreck XL Commercial vacuum. I think bagged vacuums are a bit nicer than bagless, as changing a bag makes less of a mess compared to emptying a bagless canister. But the disadvantages are having to keep buying bags, along with figuring out the right one that your vacuum takes. For those reasons, bagless is my preferred choice of vacuum. |

Tom - I completely agree with you on the Miele's pricey operating costs. $5 per bag, or $4.38 if you buy the value pack, is definitely a bit much. And then manufacturers why consumers prefer bagless, LOL. The $50 HEPA filter? That I can justify the cost somewhat, as it's in the ballpark most premium brands charge for their HEPA filters, & at least you can get 2, 3, maybe even possibly 4 years out of 1 filter before changing it.
However, I have said it before, & will say it again: one HUGE issue the vacuum manufacturers & bag manufacturers MUST address at some point, is the exorbitant cost of HEPA Cloth bags for some brands. Want to convince people their next vacuum should be bagged or bagless? Well, DON'T try to sell them a machine that the bag costs as much as it costs to prepare a meal for 1 person! Especially in North America where minimum wage & low paying contract jobs are becoming the norm, & people have other priorities than worrying how much their vacuum costs them to run. Why do you think most people prefer bagless? Not hard to figure that one out!! Mike - Yes, the Miele would be slightly better quality than the Dyson Ball, BUT let's not forget the Dyson costs just over 1/2 what the Miele does. $600 CDN for a Dyson Ball Animal 2, vs $950 for a Miele C3 Cat & Dog canister equipped with the parquet twister, SEB228 & Active Air Clean charcoal filter. Dyson claims a lifespan of 10 years for their latest uprights, vs Miele claiming a 20 year life expectancy for their canisters, so pay 1/2 the price & it lasts 1/2 as long. "You get what you pay for!" Rob |

I don't know how this question can even be asked on vacuum land I think all vacuum collectors no bag machines are better than Bagless.
German-made machines are much better than Malaysian made machines. If you're too cheap to buy bags consider that you'll be replacing the Dyson in 5 years and in 20 years it will have cost more money overall then a bagged vacuum. Not to mention never having to touch the dirt and the Superior Cleaning performance. |
