Miele Complete C3 Alize PowerLine vs Kenmore 81614 600 Series

Verdict

The Miele Complete C3 Alize PowerLine is an excellent bagged canister vacuum that offers great performance on bare floors and carpets. It has seven levels of suction power adjustment, allowing you to adapt to different surface types, and it comes with a range of convenience features such as onboard storage for attachments, a power cord that retracts with the press of a button, and an automatic stop switch. It also has a HEPA filter to trap allergens as you clean. On the downside, it may require multiple passes to fully clean very fine material on carpets.

Verdict

The Kenmore 81614 600 Series is a reliable and dependable vacuum that offers good suction when using the power head for carpets. It is lightweight and easy to maneuver, making it suitable for older or disabled people. However, some users have reported that the vacuum handle does not go down low enough to allow the carpet vacuum head to go under furniture, and that the vacuum head does not have good lights to see what you’re sucking up. Additionally, some users have experienced difficulty with fitting bags properly.
