Robot vacuums and cordless stick vacuums bring convenience and ease to floor cleaning. Previously, vacuums were tied down by cords and bulky canisters, and while they’ve waned in popularity, they’re still undeniably powerful. The Miele Classic C1 Turbo is a return to the classic bagged vacuum, and it’s for someone with heavy-duty messes who wants a thorough but quick clean.
If you’ve been burned by weak suction on a cordless vacuum, the Miele Classic C1 Turbo goes back to vacuum basics with its canister design. It has incredibly strong suction for spotless floors. Sure, you have to be willing to deal with the heft of the canister, but that’s minor when it comes to pristine floors.

When our two-year-old vacuum started pushing around dust and debris rather than sucking it up, I began the hunt for a new vacuum. To avoid (or at least delay) the quick cycle of another vacuum dying after just a couple of years, I turned to the subreddit r/BuyItForLife, and the most common recommendation was the Miele C1 Turbo.
The suction on this vacuum is mind-blowing, especially after years of using just fine cordless vacuums. The Miele requires only one pass to thoroughly clean spaces. We have a white striped rug in our living room that our cat is an expert at making a mess on. But we only need to go over it with one pass to get it totally clean. The first time my wife used the vacuum on the rug, I asked them if they’d used our heavy-duty upholstery cleaner because it looked brand new.
It comes with several attachments that are neatly stored on the base of the vacuum, so they’re always within reach while in use. Plus, the built-in organization means you’re never losing track of where you put the brush head. Each attachment head caters to a different need, so you’re able to reach each nook and cranny. The cords can be a pain to navigate as the vacuum does have to be plugged in for use. That being said, the cord is so long, it has a nearly 30-foot cleaning radius.
At $499 (but often on sale for less), it’s one of the more affordable vacuums on this list, but there is an unseen cost that comes with owning the Miele. It requires bags within the canister. On one hand, the bags make emptying the vacuum rather tidy, but it does mean you need to repurchase bags when they get full.
