Pluses:
- Respectable filtration maintains healthy indoor air quality. The Super Air Clean filter is easy to change and is electro-statically charged to retain a majority of dust particles. If you want the best filtration, the active HEPA filter can be purchased separately.
- Though not a certified sealed system, the Delphi’s Exclusive CleanAir System has been thoroughly researched, developed and tested by Miele's quality control laboratories to ensure it effectively captures and retains dust, dirt and other indoor air pollutants, guaranteeing it is one of the most effective and hygienic methods of removing particulate matter from the home.
- Powerful suction with 6 settings will accommodate a variety of cleaning tasks.
- The mid-size power brush (SEB 217-3) has a compact design that is lighter and less bulky than the full-size power brush (SEB 228 or SEB 236) and is better suited for smaller homes that have low-medium pile carpets. However, it does not have height adjustments so is not ideal for thick, high pile carpets. It also does not have a headlight and will not park on its own.
- The Parquet floor brush (available with the Delphi Deluxe Package) has two soft rollers for an easy gliding action and genuine horsehair bristles that sweep gently over the floor surface, brushing dust particles out of cracks.
- Miele makes the easiest vacuums to assemble, change floor tools, put on accessory tools, remove the wand, etc. thanks to quick release buttons and snap-into-place construction.
- Very low noise output for a pleasurable vacuuming experience. The C1 Delphi features a sound insulation layer that makes it particularly quiet especially when used on the silence setting.
- Mid-sized canister vacuum with a lightweight design weighing only 11 lbs. This makes it very easy to maneuver around the house and carry up or down stairs.
- Large 4.76 qt. (approx. 1 gallon) AirClean dust bags. We love these bags because they hold so much and do not need to be replaced until they are truly stuffed full. They are some of the best quality bags we have tested. They are 9 layers thick for filtration quality and durability, have excellent air flow for efficient use, and spring-loaded self-sealing covers for no-mess disposal.
- The handy dust bag change indicator tells you when the bag is full and needs to be replaced, eliminating guessing games and loss of suction due to an overly full bag.
- The Delphi is an unbelievable value for a Miele canister vacuum cleaner with a power brush. As a budget choice not a luxury vacuum, it lacks some of the extra features and added construction perks found on Miele’s other canister vacuums; however, it does not lack in quality, performance, durability or integrity.
Minuses:
- Not a Miele certified sealed system.
- Does not have integrated PVC bumper guards.
- No integrated accessory tool storage. The tools are kept on the wand with a clip-on tool caddy.
- Miele's crevice tool is not as long as we would have liked. It only offers a 4-inches reach where some competitors offer a full size 8-inch crevice tool.
- Miele's dusting brush has the industry standard round design which we have found clogs easily when used on high suction because the bristles are sucked inwards. A triangular dusting brush proves to be a more efficient design because it does not become clogged by its bristles.
Summary:
The Miele C1 Delphi canister vacuum cleaner offers a tremendous value with Miele's high quality German construction and parts, but with a budget-friendly price. Through quality engineering Miele has cut costs on these vacuums by streamlining the design to use less parts (NOT less quality parts) and leaving out unnecessary extras and luxury features. The C1's do not lack in durability and are designed to last an average of 20 years. The Delphi Standard Package is recommended for low to medium pile carpeted homes. If you have a mix of carpets and smooth floors we recommend choosing the Delphi Deluxe Package that also includes a natural bristle smooth floor brush. If you or someone in your home suffers from allergies we strongly suggest choosing the HEPA filter option.Miele Classic C1 Delphi Vacuum Cleaner - Standard Package
