Miele's new C2 series replaces Miele's S4 Galaxy series of lightweight canister vacuum cleaners. The Miele Compact C2 Onyx is the replacement vacuum cleaner for the Miele S4212 Neptune. The new S6 series has the same compact design and entry-level price points of the S4 series along with some improvements such as a quieter Vortex motor, lightweight skeleton construction, larger cleaning radius and extended warranty. Each C2 model comes standard with an AirClean filter but we provide the option to purchase your new C2 with Miele's Active HEPA filter for maximum filtration performance.
Pluses:
- 6 suction settings provide the proper suction level for cleaning everything from carpets to curtains.
- Sealed system construction with 12-stages of filtration ensure no dust or dirt particles escape the vacuum's filtration system.
- Whisper-quiet performance makes vacuuming a more enjoyable experience for you and your family members, including pets.
- Long power cord, durable hose and stainless steel telescopic wand delivers a superior 33-ft working radius for convenient, thorough, effortless cleaning.
- Comes with 2 floor tools to cover your smooth floor and low-pile carpet cleaning needs.
- The on-board accessory holder gives instant access to the dusting brush, crevice nozzle and upholstery tool, providing optimal cleaning for drapes, upholstery and all those inaccessible nooks and crannies.
- Weighing only 10 lbs. this vacuum is less of a burden to carry up and down stairs.
- Excellent value for the price, especially since it could potentially last for up to 20 years.
Minuses:
- The Turbo brush is not effective for deep cleaning of medium and high pile carpet or rugs.
- Non-electric hose and wand configuration means the C2 Onyx can not be used with an electric power brush.
- No filter change indicator on this vacuum (a feature only found on Miele's C3 luxury models).
Summary:
The Miele Compact C2 Onyx is a great lightweight and compact vacuum cleaner perfect for an apartment, condo or small multi-level house. This vacuum cleaner is designed for cleaning all types of smooth flooring and low-pile carpeting. Thanks to Miele's superior sealed system construction and top notch filtration, which actually improves air quality as you vacuum, we highly recommend the C2 Onyx vacuum cleaner with Active HEPA filter for homes where allergies or asthma is a concern.Technical Specifications of Miele Compact C2 Onyx Vacuum Cleaner
