So I bought my first Miele, actually, I got the U1 Jazz in a package deal with a C1 Titan canister for $60! So I cleaned up good and used it a few times, surprised ....
It’s quieter than my Kirbys, it’s versatile...so easy to go from carpets to hardwood with a flick of the switch (off) of the brushroll and dial turned to ‘smooth’, the twist feature is interesting ...not real sure on its ultimate benefit though , filters well, bags cost more online than Kirby bags, and the onboard tools makes quick jobs easy. Criticisms: the dust brush is weak...way too short of bristles, it definitely...is more of a ‘workout’ and that was the biggest surprise by far! It feels like 60% of the weight is in the handle/upright part...& that weight creates ‘work’...into your forearm/wrist/shoulder I’d say. It’s easily....more work than all my olderKirbys...the pre Generation models w/o tech drive that so many people think are so heavy to use. This weighs 1.5 lbs more than the older models and 1.5ish lbs less than the Generation Kirbys. - I like it to a point, would be fine if I was just an average coknsumer and didn’t care about deep cleaning .... but not so much after reading on this forum, the airflow tests revealing it as only average at best at the power nozzle. But, I got a heck of a deal and you can’t beat it down much for the $ I paid. I need to purchase a latch that was gone when I bought it....you can see it missing ( should be grey at the top of the hard front bag cover top area . Anyone know where I might buy one besides at a Miele dealer? Also, any ideas on how to polish the front light cover to remove the cloudiness on the plastic( clear part)?? PS: The C1 Titan 300 canister was surprisingly quiet !!!! I liked it for dusting ... a lot, but gave my mother the option to take either of the Miele’s and she chose the C1. My friend who runs a vacuum shop rebuked me for even offering her the U1( and it’s weight)! Ha. Made even more sense after I used it | ||

I haven't tried the U1 but I love their canisters. I used to have the Powerhouse upright that was manufactured by Panasonic, it wasn't bad but it definitely was a Panasonic machine.
I also am disappointed in the dusting brushes that Miele offers. Vacuumdevil, which dusting brush do you recommend from them? My local Miele dealer claimed that they only offer those teeny tiny nylon and horsehair brushes. | ||

ROFL
@Tseg you get no warranty when you buy something second hand . Do not harass the CEO of a company because you bought something broken.
also I've seen all kinds of people get upset at Miele over the years and I can assure you they don't care about machines out of warranty. Be a big boy and bring your broken vacuum to a dealer and have them fix it. | ||

Thanks. Miele has responded and has asked me to send them a photo of the handle. Interesting the info plate calls out 10.7A in vacuum mode. I'm guessing the new ones don't do that?

Our older model demo does not do this however the newer unit does. I assumed that it was to force the user into the "correct" suction setting for carpet. It is possible that this is (now) "normal" just my .02 ~ | ||

Hiya. No worries, glad you some satisfaction . I've used my U1 a few more times, I like. The relative quietness, it's much more convenient using its attachments and switching from carpets to hard flooring, of course, than my Kirbys. I'm glad I have one in my collection, oh, I did find a latch for the front cover so it's performing as it should with ease. 🤓

Not Very Nice.... vacuumdevil, you need to get those trust issues looked at some time. … anyway, I enjoy the 2 horizontal button setup much more. | ||
