Look into one of the Miele U1 uprights their hard floor cleaning (without using tools) is one of the best i've seen from an upright due to the squeegee behind the brushroll chamber. It won't be as powerful as your C3 is due to it's long winding airpath but there is no height adjustment due to the spring loaded brushroll. You can shut off the brush from he handle. It's oretty easy to use but they are quite heavy.
I'd suggest the U1 homecare since the homecares now have better warranties than other options. |

Offered too vacuum for your wife is my first suggestion !
Then I would definitely take a look at the Miele U1! If she enjoyed the Panasonic she might also like a sebo X4 you'll have to sacrifice the headlight . I would take her vacuum shopping go to a couple stores and have her try a few. After you find and buy one she likes make sure she "makes you a sandwich" |

Just caught this: "Offer to vacuum for your wife is my first suggestion ! " I normally do, but I do travel a lot so she likes to touch up when I'm away. |

This used to be called the Universal Upright, which name I wish they had kept because it was very descriptive.
This doesn't get much attention anymore, but I recommend them all the time and have never known of anyone who didn't love it. If you already have a Miele C3 with the full complement of attachments, then you probably have a 236 power head already. This vacuum accepts any of the power nozzles. Also, you can buy a genuine Miele hose kit that includes an extra extension wand. That hose will allow you to use any of the canister attachments as effectively as you can on the C3. I have a HEPA filter in mine, but it's probably not really necessary. Roger Lang, who is a YouTube celebrity, reviewed this vaccum a few years ago. He has a newer one on a lesser UK model, but refer to the one I linked instead of the newer video because Miele cheapened the new UK model he reviews in the newest video, and the US model still is fully equipped. The video I'm linking in excellent, which goes without saying regarding Roger's work, and it'll tell you everything you might want to know about this small wonder. (I'm tempted to call it a "powerhouse," but, as history would have it, Miele marketed (not made, just sold) an upright with that name for years before the S7, even though the name wasn't appropriate to its performance by any stretch.) So, if the Jazz doesn't work out because of its weight or impropriety for hard floors, you could consider this one because you'll be able to use your current Miele things with it and still appease your wife's insistence that she can use an upright on hard floors, which sort of ties your hands.

I for one would send her to shop for the perfect vacuum for her. No guessing on your part what she would prefer. |

I think she's lucky to have a husband who cares what she likes so much!
The answer is You rock! Congrats on your Jazz! 🎷🎶 Has anyone tried the stick vac by Miele for touch up cleaning? I wonder if they'll come out with a cordless. CLICK HERE TO GO TO completenutt's LINK |
