Miele Complete C3 HomeCare Pure Suction Vacuum Cleaner Introduction

Miele - Made in Germany

Miele has been designing and manufacturing products for the home since 1899. They produced their first vacuum cleaner in 1927. Their products are world renowned for their power, durability and performance. The introduction of the Miele HomeCare Pure Suction canister vacuum, with its beautiful Autumn Red finish, whisper quiet operation and lightweight skeleton construction, reflects their commitment to designing and manufacturing outstanding vacuum cleaners. As with all Miele products, all its advanced technology and incredible power is harnessed within a truly beautiful work of art. You may even be tempted to purchase a Miele Complete C3 HomeCare Pure Suction vacuum cleaner on its looks alone.

Multi-Layer Filtration System

The Miele HomeCare Pure Suction vacuum cleaner uses a multi-layer filtration system which increases the life of the high filtration exhaust filter. The air passes through their high filtration 3-Layer AirClean Bag and a secondary electrostatic filter before reaching the special exhaust filter. Each layer of filtration captures more particles as the air passes through them. Ideally, multi-layer filtration enhances performance by ensuring good air flow through the system. It prevents large particles from reaching and blocking the exhaust filter, saving it for critical particle retention.

The Miele HomeCare Pure Suction vacuums come equipped with their HEPA AirClean Exhaust Filter for exceptional allergen filtration. A lower cost alternative is the Super AirClean exhaust filter which is packaged with the dustbags. It is designed for those desiring good filtration but who do not have dust related sensitivities which require the level of filtration which meets the stringent HEPA 13 specification. You will need to purchase the optional Filter Holder #05986973 to use the Super AirClean filter in this vacuum.

The Miele Sealed System™

Using the Miele Complete C3 HomeCare Pure Suction canister vacuum differs from your typical home vacuum cleaner because of its special high filtration capabilities and its Sealed System™. This means that the sub-micrometer dust you pick up actually reaches the high filtration exhaust filter and is not blown out through minute cracks in the case or around the exhaust filter like many competing cleaners with high filtration exhaust filters. To protect you even more the dustbag is designed to automatically close its opening when you remove it from the vacuum for disposal. Taking this concept even further, an optional Miele Hygiene Cap can be snapped into the hose inlet of this vacuum when the hose is removed. This added protection enhances the ability of this Miele vacuum to provide extremely low dust emissions.

Vacuum cleaners are designed so that air flows through the nozzle and hose into the dustbag, and then through any additional filters before leaving the machine at the exhaust. Filters capable of achieving sub-micrometer filtration are important but equally important is how much of the air flow containing these allergens, etc. actually passes through the filters to be cleaned by them. With the Miele Sealed System™ you can rest assured that all the air flow passes through and is filtered by the included HEPA AirClean or optional Active AirClean exhaust filters. Having a completely sealed system also helps improve suction by ensuring that all air flow through the motor is also pulled through the hose and attachments, not entering through unsealed joints in the case, wands and attachments.

High Performance AirClean™ Dustbag

Miele GN AirClean Dustbag

Miele's revolutionary new AirClean™ dustbag offers unbeatable advantages which really enhance the performance of the Miele Complete C3 HomeCare Pure Suction canister vacuum cleaner. First and foremost, the unique new material which composes AirClean dustbags has made significant progress in the quality of filtration: Thanks to its intricate web of three-ply random-spun polymer fibers, far more tiny particles and allergens are retained than with conventional dustbags. This alone accounts for a reduction in dust emissions from the dustbag of up to 50%, based on levels which were already extremely low. Therefore, this vacuum's secondary filter and high efficiency exhaust filter will be kept cleaner, providing outstanding cleaning performance with reduced resistance to the air flow.

The enhanced composition of AirClean bag virtually eliminates clogging, improving cleaning performance even further. This material captures millions of tiny dust particles and holds them tight within its fibers, keeping the pores of the dustbag open longer. As a result, this Miele vacuum cleaner retains its excellent cleaning performance, even when the dustbag is full. This special polymer material also makes the dustbag practically tear-proof. The risk of damage caused by sharp, pointed objects in the bag is now a thing of the past.

High Efficiency Filters

Miele SF-HA 50 HEPA AirClean Filter

For those with dust related allergies or asthma, Miele has included an HEPA AirClean Filter that meets the stringent HEPA 13 specification. It has been proven to retain over 99.99% of dust particles. It only needs to be replaced approximately once a year. A special "Timestrip" provides a visual indication of when the filter should be replaced. Packaged in a white case, the SF-HA 50 HEPA AirClean filter takes clean air to an even higher level. It replaces the former SF-AH 50 HEPA filter in a light blue case which meets the "HEPA 12" specification.

Miele SF-AA 50 Active AirClean Filter

Miele even offers an optional special filter designed for the pet lovers in our world. Their Active AirClean Filter features a thick layer of Activated Charcoal sandwiched between two Super AirClean filters for outstanding odor trapping abilities. It's great for cat & dog owners to use instead of the HEPA filter. When purchasing your new Miele from Ristenbatt Vacuum Cleaner Service, turn it into an allergy vacuum with very low dust and odor emissions by adding the Active AirClean filter for only $45.99.

Efficient Miele Vortex Suction Motor

Miele Vortex Motor Fan

The powerful 1200 Watt, Miele Vortex suction motor produces plenty of suction for cleaning your home. This high performance motor has fan parts that are aerodynamically designed with no parallel surfaces and nine long fan scoops compared to the typical six shorter ones. These scoops are quite wide near the hub of the fan and become more narrow toward the outer edge similar to that of a jet engine compressor. This single stage "compressor design" optimizes the air flow and increases the overall motor efficiency. Featuring lifetime lubricated ball bearings, well balanced motor parts, enhanced motor suspension and lining of the motor housing, the Miele HomeCare Pure Suction vacuum will perform quietly for many years. To learn more about this outstanding motor, see our article on the Powerful Miele Vortex Motor.

Convenient Electronic Motor Power Control

The Complete C3 HomeCare Pure Suction vacuum is also equipped with six different motor power settings which adjusts the air flow, giving you complete control when you clean. The plus and minus electronic power control buttons and lighted icons on the vacuum enables you to easily select the proper amount of power for cleaning anything from draperies to plush carpeting. Reducing the suction prevents curtains, upholstery or area rugs from inadvertently being drawn into the cleaning nozzle. The Miele HomeCare Pure Suction also has an Intelligent "Auto" Motor Power setting which automatically adjusts the power level to suit the surface currently being cleaned and ensures the most economical use of energy.

Versatile Stainless Steel Telescopic Wand

The stainless steel telescopic wand on the HomeCare Pure Suction Complete C3 vacuum cleaners can be adjusted to match your individual stature. For storage, it collapses to about half height to save storage space. It is well sealed at all joints to maintain Miele's outstanding performance. This is a good example of how Miele goes to great lengths, even with small details, to ensure the quality, performance and beauty of their products.

Combination Rug/Bare Floor Nozzle

View of SBD 365-3 Combination Nozzle

The Miele Complete C3 HomeCare Pure Suction vacuum is packaged with the SBD 365-3 Combination Rug/Bare Floor Nozzle which can be used on bare floors as well as low nap carpets. This deluxe combination tool has a top mounted lever to switch between carpets and bare floors. For bare floors brush strips along the front and back pop out to provide non-scratching brushing action. Notches along the front allow dirt to easily enter the nozzle. For carpets and rugs, the brush strip can be recessed, allowing the channeled sole plate to contact the carpet, pulling air through the nap to clean it. This attachment has squeegee type blades behind and in front of the sole plate channel for improved performance. The elbow has a long tab which holds this nozzle securely in the parking slots on the sides and back of this vacuum.

Deluxe Parquet Twister Floor Brush

Miele SBB 300-3 Parquet Twister Floor Brush

This Miele vacuum is also packaged with the SBB 300-3 Parquet Twister Floor Brush which is specifically designed for cleaning Parquet floors although it works very nicely on all non-carpeted floors. It is 12" wide having long, very soft bristles completely around its perimeter. Notches along the front allow dirt to easily enter the nozzle. The wand connector elbow has a 2-way swivel which enables the brush to be pivoted (twisted) as the wand is twisted side to side. It is very agile, enabling it to even slide sideways between close furniture. The elbow has a long tab which can hold this nozzle securely in the parking slots on the sides and back of this vacuum when you pause while cleaning.

Optional TurboTeQ Nozzle for Carpets

STB 305-3 Turbobrush

For more effective and easier cleaning of carpeted floors, purchase the optional Miele STB 305-3 TurboTeQ nozzle for use on this vacuum. It incorporates a turbine to obtain its power to drive the 10 1/2" wide revolving brush roll from the air flow passing through the system. A cog type belt is used to provide positive power transfer from the turbine to the brush roll. Since this nozzle does not require electric to operate, it can be used on the standard non-electric hose which comes with the Miele Complete C3 HomeCare Pure Suction vacuum. By adding the optional TurboTeQ carpet nozzle to this vacuum, it is the same vacuum and attachments as the Miele Calima except for color plus it has two years longer warranty and two additional special purpose attachments for only $25.00 more, making it a better value.

Whisper Quiet Canister Operation

Whisper Quiet Canister Operation

For many years Miele vacuums cleaners have been much quieter than most vacuums. More recent series have become even quieter in their operation. Their S6 compact vacuum series set a new standard of very low level sound levels. When we thought vacuums could not be any quieter, Miele's engineers developed the S8 series vacuums with their amazing whisper quiet canister operation. (On February 1, 2015 the "S8" series was renamed the "Complete C3" series.)

This Miele HomeCare Pure Suction vacuum, along with others in the Miele Complete C3 series, has special construction and sound insulation which make it whisper quiet. The special "Silence Setting" combines the lowest noise level with the ideal power level for the most efficient cleaning results. When operating at this level the canister vacuum is actually quieter than a pot of boiling water. Now that is quiet!

Convenient Covered Attachment Storage

Integrated Attachment Storage

The Miele Complete C3 HomeCare Pure Suction vacuum carries its three small attachments conveniently tucked away in the covered tool storage on the main unit where they are always easily accessible. This design reduces the risk of bumping these attachments, accidentally knocking them from the vacuum cleaner. The dusting brush has soft, natural hair bristles which will not curl and mat like synthetic ones tend to do. The upholstery nozzle has two red strips which are like the "magic lint brushes", capturing the lint, hairs and threads and then cleaning themselves on the reverse stroke.

Included Special Purpose Attachments

All Miele HomeCare vacuum cleaners provide extra value over their standard models. Part of this on their canisters with powerbrushes is the inclusion of their 22" Flexible Crevice Tool #SFD 20 and Universal Dusting Brush w/Swivel #SUB 20 to enhance their performance and convenience.

Flexible Crevice Tool

The extra-long Miele 22" Flexible Crevice Tool is designed for use on Miele hoses and wands. The unique construction consists of a long soft vinyl center section with rigid high impact ends, making it quite durable yet flexible. This crevice tool is great for reaching under refrigerators and car seats, behind old fashioned radiators and other hard to reach areas. An optional SHB 20 Radiator Brush can be attached to the end for even greater performance.

Extra Large Universal Dusting Brush

The Miele Universal Dusting Brush with Swivel is great for cleaning all hard surfaces including ledges and cabinet tops. It is great for cleaning both the tops and bottoms of ceiling fans. Its long sleek design enables it to cover larger areas with a sideways sweeping motion. The tapered area with bristles is 2" wide and 6" long with 7/8" long, soft bristles. The main body is flexible vinyl so it is like having a bumper all over it to protect your furniture.

All Three Wheels Swivel 360°

The Miele HomeCare Pure Suction vacuum cleaners are designed to track nicely behind you as you pull them by the hose. They are equipped with three extra-soft "dynamic" wheels for added protection of your wood or vinyl floors. All three wheels turn a full 360° making them very easy to maneuver and very stable. Going over electrical cords, door thresholds and around furniture is a breeze. Since it can be moved in any direction, being able to easily push it out of your path when working near the machine is an added convenience.
