Miele Complete C3 Cat & Dog - our opinion in 2020

There are so many online reviews of the Miele Complete C3 Cat & Dog, including plenty of videos in YouTube. To be honest, we didn't made a significant research about this Miele vacuum cleaner and we were totally upsold in the store we were just passing by.

The reason for purchase
Our initial budget for new vacuum cleaner was around 120 Euro since the Philips PowerPro Compact with Cyclone 4 system was failing to do its job as we wished. We needed more powerful and efficient (in cleaning) vacuum cleaner as we have three pets who are making a constant mess. Our first choice was an award-winning new model of a Philips Cyclone line but decided to hold with the purchase for a while.

The purchase
Shortly after that we passed a Miele store and saw promotional prices on almost all vacuum cleaners. After a 20-minute discussion with the store clerks we were sold and went home with the new Miele Complete C3 Cat & Dog PowerLine for almost twice our initial budget - around 230 Euro.

First test
Miele does some great premium products for the household but to be honest we don't have much experience with that brand. During our initial test of this Miele device we were impressed by how powerful it really was. The difference with our old vacuum cleaner was just... ENORMOUS. Even on half power it was "disturbingly" powerful and sucked the carpets quite aggressively. It was a matter of minutes to get used to it and which power setting to use.

One of the key aspects for us was the air filtration while we clean. The air in the room remained quite fresh, even without opening any windows. Really impressed with how Miele fixed this issue typical for many cheap and mid-prized cleaners.

And to be honest again compared to our old Philips the Miele is definitely quieter but we expected a bit more here. On full power the C3 Cat & Dog becomes quite loud (I guess that is expected considering how powerful it is). It also has a very wide reach of almost 12 meters which is definitely class leading. The comfort cable option lets you retract the whole length of the cable with just one tap of a button.

Turbo brush
One of the key selling points of the  C3 Cat & Dog PowerLine is the fact it comes standard with turbo brush which removes hair and lint with higher efficiency compared to the regular brush. We tested that as well but it looks a bit aggressive to me, so we needed to use lower power option and use the low setting on the brush switch.

Conclusion
Well, this is our honest opinion and first review of the Miele Complete C3 Cat & Dog PowerLine vacuum cleaner in 2020. We will share more feedback after using it for some more time. For now we can say it is a well-made and effective device.
It is not cheap but probably well worth the money spend as most consumers say these Miele vacuum cleaners last much more than the average.
