Was given a dead Miele C1 (wanted the wand and accessories) that was going to be rubbished.
Really don't need *another* vacuum but am intrigued by this little Miele. Apparently however build quality isn't what it ought as a quick internet search turns up many complaints of these things dying after barely three years of use. Could take it round to local Miele vac repair place for a look see, but am wondering if it is worth bothering. | ||

If the vac is dead...more than likely it might be a defective cord reel . My S5 Ariel developed that issue and I took the vac apart and replaced the cord reel assembly...there are vids on YouTube that show you how if you are handy. The new cord reel was a cool $100....I paid $500 for the vac in 2008. I use it everyday....

Thanks for suggestion guys, please keep them coming
Trash day isn't until Friday so have a few days to think things over. Will call around to see what there is about possible cost of repair/diagnosis.
Past several days saw two vacs out on curb, but left them be as wasn't interested. One was a vintage Kirby (I think), looked something like this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1958-Vintage-Al... But was several blocks from home (walking home), and it had poured rain all day. So wasn't sure how long the thing had sat sitting and if was exposed to prolonged periods of wet. Oh and before putting out for rubbish previous owner cut power cord right at the handle. A few days ago spied a "Sanitaire" vacuum out on curb, but again had no interest. The cord was still attached but was patched in several areas with tape. Thing probably did work, but those vacs are mainly for rugs/carpeting, and our home is mostly hard wood and other flooring. Thus even if the thing did work would be of little use. Still have that Hoover found a few years ago now that gets very little use for same reason. | ||

We have a Miele C1, and the label on the back states that it is assembled in China from parts manufactured in both Germany and China. I've easily owned over 50 vacuums since 1970, probably more, I lost count long ago. This little vac with a Turbo Head is one of the very best I’ve ever owned. The suction is impressive, it’s quiet, light weight, maneuvers easily and cleans excellently. My husband David does the housecleaning and he prefers a canister since we have stairs and he also likes to dust with the vac. He loves the little Miele. And the Turbo Nozzle cleans our WW carpet just as good or better than any upright or electrically powered power nozzle we’ve used in the past.
