Miele Compact C2 Electro+ vs Kenmore 400 Series 81414

And then this is your hard flooring attachment. and as you can see on the other side there's bristles of vary lengths. This is going to make it very e...

Pros: This has excellent suction, and a lever to release some suction if you don't want as much, but no idea why/when anyone would use that. Works wonderfully on hardwood floors and the stair attachment is also easy to use and works great for not only stairs, but furniture, welcome mats and flannel bedspread to get off the lint balls. The bag is huge and doesn't need to be replaced very often, even with pet hair. Transition from hard wood to carpet is also very easy

I can maneuver the vacuum into all the weird or low nooks and crannies around our house and I cannot believe how quiet it is. I can have a normal volume conversation while vacuuming. I am beyond pleased with the purchase, especially for the price.

They clean carpet well and can do hard floors due to their mechanical brush shutoff. As expected by the price, the build quality is not great. I find them regularly with attachment clips that are cracked/broken and will no longer hold the attachments, bag releases that will not stay in place (they still work without the release), cracks in the base where the axles for the back wheels mount. The mechanical belt tensioner design likes to chew through belts over time, so it is the only one you listed that does not have a true lifetime belt design

- Electrobrush attachment easily damages the cord. While I know you should obviously avoid vacuuming over the power cord, accidents do happen (especially because the electrobrush attachment is heavy and hard to lift over the cord while vacuuming), and it did an alarming amount of damage to the power cord the one and only time I accidentally vacuumed over it. - Bad exhaust placement: the exhaust vent is placed on the canister just above the power button and selection dial, meaning that you have to lean over the exhaust to turn the vacuum on/off or change the cleaning mode. It is really unpleasant to get a huge gust of warm air in your face/arm/leg when trying to adjust the vacuum settings or turn it off

Somewhat angry as there is absolutely no place in the Amazon Description that states that these most important features do not come on this model! So please pay attention to what you are purchasing as per the features. Because these features were not in the advertisement, I thought I was getting a great buy but turns out not so! The following is what the Ad reads and I see nowhere that it states it doesn't come with these features that are important to me.

So far I am liking this over my Dyson because you can adjust the suction, it's not as heavy, it probably isn't quite as good on carpet but I have my washer/dryer in my hall and need to vacuum around it to keep the dog hair from getting under the appliances. If you have dogs and want to do carpet along baseboards this is easier than Dyson IMO. Can't comment on durability but also like having bagged over canister.

We are used to uprights and this is not as easy to get around the floor. The canister does roll easily, just not as easy to deal with as an upright. Unless you start at a corner of the room, you are doomed to roll over a cord or have to push it back, again over the cord. Overall, I love the suction of the vacuum, but not worth the frustration

I have a cat. I have a Kenmore 400 Series. Not as crazy expensive or as powerful as other vacuums, but it does have good suction and a powerhead with height adjustment. I enjoy the heck out of it, even if I know that if I had a bigger budget, i could have gotten better
