Miele Complete C3 Calima vs Kenmore 81614 600 Series

Verdict

The Miele Complete C3 Calima is a great choice for those looking for a lightweight and quiet canister vacuum. It comes with several useful attachments, including a dusting brush, crevice tool, and upholstery tool that all fit perfectly inside the machine. The AirClean Sealed System combined with a HEPA AirClean Filter ensures over 99.9% filtration of dust and dirt, making it ideal for allergy sufferers. However, some customers have noted that the carpet agitator is mediocre at best and the attachments are cheaply made.

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.
