I just bought my first Miele (C3 Kona).

First of all, the hype is real. I'm ashamed to have called myself a Dyson owner. 2nd, apart from standard filter/bag replacement, any tips for a first time Miele owner?

Anyone reading this with indoor allergies, it has made an instant impact on my wife's allergies. She was having to go in for weekly acupuncture to help with her migraines caused by allergies. After 2 days of furious vacuuming the whole house (normally would have killed her) she claims to feel as good as she did coming out of acupuncture. So, hesitate at the price tag all you want, this thing will end up making our lives cheaper.

Yeah! I've been playing with the height adjustments trying to find out the right one.

When I'm alone I walk the cord back, but I've just HAD to hit the auto cord button thing and let it fly a couple times to impress a buddy. I don't think he was impressed.

Good tip on the hose. Never put any thought into that.

Going from bagless does have me wondering in how accurate the bag fill indicator is. But I'll take your word for it. (It's currently at half full, and we vacuumed a couple times a week with a Dyson).

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for getting on reddit. You really have helped my wife's quality of life tremendously. This thing does wonders for indoor allergy sufferers.

I can vacuum at midnight with my Miele C3 and not wake up anyone. I tested it the first night I had it in the hallway next to my 2 year olds room.

Honestly, the way they look and feel.

The first vacuuming with this compared to the Dyson pet ball thing I had was in a word, eye-opening. You can feel the debris coming through the hose as you vacuum. At least the way I hold the thing.

We had several high traffic areas that were completely matted. I attributed this to crap carpet (we didn't install it, it came with the flipped house we bought). The carpet is 3 years old, and now looks brand new.

We were apprehensive at the cost, but literally after 2 days we both said we would have spent another $500 on it. We'll see if ours lasts like new for 20+ years like many say.

We've had a C3 Kona for a week now. Instant improvement on my wife's allergies and our carpets look brand new.
