Miele’s are really good the compact c2 is a really good one because it’s super small and nimble but still has the same Miele vortex motor they use in the rest of their lineup. The electro+ model comes in marine blue and hosts the SEB228 electro plus head which is a really nice full size full power head. I think you would like that given your specifications. Another one that you may like would be the zero g. It reminds me a lot of a Tri Star. I don’t know how compact it is and I don’t have any personal experience with one but I know vacuum devil on here has really good detailed videos about the zero g and I know he highly recommends it. I trust him because he definitely knows his machines.

The Patriot vacuum is better than the Tri-Star in many ways. And costs less to repair than the way-overpriced Miele repair parts.

I'd second with Mieles5380leo on the blue Miele Compact C2 Electro Plus, that is a fantastic canister. I also really like the red Miele C1 HomeCare PowerLine, the last vacuum shop that I worked at sells those because it's one of the only few canister vacuums that have less problems. Another brand that I really like is Sebo, also made in Germany like Miele. Both the K3 and the E3 models are just awesome vacuums. I personally own a Tristar CXL and I can say that I would definitely use either German canister(s) anyday over the Tristar. But if you prefer to still buy American, I'd also second with dysonman1. You really can't beat the Patriot.

Go for a older Compact/TriStar like the CXL/DXL/EX-20; they have more power than the A101 (EXL/MG/CS which is the current mdl) & the older mdls have metal wands with cord holder which is more reliable (although U will have to connect the pigtail cord for the Power Nozzle) than the A101 which have the electrified wands & don't hold up as well as the older units
If U want a mini PN (for vacing stairs & upholstery) U can use a Wessel Werk HEB160 (get the one with the pigtail cord) on older Compact/TriStar vacs | ||

@salicia As much as I love tristars. That sort of performance is common with most of the middle to higher in canisters these days.
SEBO,Miele,Nilfisk, Lindhaus,Numatic & Zero-G all have Superior performance and features. It's weird to me that somebody would complain about the price of replacement parts and then name a machine that has the exact same prices on the replacement parts. if you're looking for a portable vacuum that's a daily driver consider all that I listed above. Some of my favorite canisters I would recommend above in YouTube videos. | ||

I think
I think it's a bit ridiculous to put the tristars on such a high pedestal. The pre lux ones were good machines but i've seen machines with far more suction and airflow to claim they're unequaled is nothing more than uneducated bias.
I guess though the main question is what exactly are you looking for in a potential replacement? | ||

Ok
Hers my post to put things in a better perspective that compacts are on a pedestal.
The c9 is 42 years old and was top of the line. The loss of airflow is funny it will out perform any electrolux. The compact is 42 and the standards in 1979 it was amazing. In 42 years would a miele meet 2063 vacuum standards? Would the vacuumm even be around or recycled. It probably would be recycled and it would not do good when compared to vacuums in 2063. If you do apples for apples use the patriot airstorm. It's basically the newest compact. It's better in air filtration and performance. It beats it and there's no disputing that. The compact c9 is a good vacuum 42 years later. It still does an excellent above average job. Knocking compacts and putting miele on a pedestal is funny. I'm not going to argue about rainbows. I don't like there power nozzles and airflow is not higher than a compact. I like compacts and rainbows equally. The proteam backpack vacuum will outperform every vacuum on the market by alot. It's closer to a central vac than any other vacuum. | ||

Ya know
old compacts aren't bad machine but again they're nothing special these days. I mean if you actually take the time to compare a stock one to a miele you find several advantages with a Miele.
Things like It's filtration, speed control, a power nozzle with a height adjustment allowing it to clean a wider variety of carpets, a cogged belt meaning significantly less belt changes, a cord winder, quieter operation, a power nozzle on/off switch, a bare floor friendly power nozzle, the machine is lighter, it's definitely more maneuverable. The only real advantages a compact has is possibly longevity and cost of use. If we sit here and discuss all the changes made to one specific machine like les's where a different nozzle has been used then it's safe to say that any machine with higher specs that can be converted to use the same nozzle would also sit above the compact. Like if I were to convert a lux platinum or a Perfect C101 to use the same nozzle. Again it's not trying to say they're bad machine they're just not the be all end all of vacuums some people try to say they are. | ||

Personally, I would recommend the Kenmore 81214 over the 21814. It's just as powerful but more basic and you would likely have more break down issues with the 21814 through the years of owning it. That would be my overall recommendation for a budget canister with an electric powernozzle of under 400.
