In true spirit of the Miele slogan 'Immer Besser', Miele produced a vacuum cleaner series that has "no compromises". The S8 series is lighter, quieter and offers improved cleaning performance. The S8 vacuums improve upon the user-friendly features of the S5 series with an enhanced design and extra perks. The C3 series is expertly designed and engineered to maximize the users' vacuuming experience. The Miele Kona is the mid-range model of the series and a very attractive vacuum cleaner option that represents a great value.
Pluses:
- Unmatched filtration system. Our testing showed it exhausts 0 particles back into the room!
- Easy to use +/- suction adjustment controls on canister. The controls are designed so they can be adjusted with your foot or by hand.
- LED panel on the canister displays what suction setting you are on.
- Unbelievably quiet vacuuming - even on the highest suction setting.
- Very lightweight (impressively so for it size) and easy to carry.
- Impressive maneuverability. It pulls along without resistance and every necessary part swivels or turns to the point you forget the struggles a typical vacuum cleaner gives you as you move from room to room.
- The Electro Plus power brush SEB-228 is very easy to use and maneuver, and is rather lightweight for its large size. It is 14" wide with 5 carpet height adjustments to handle all types of carpets. It parks on its own for convenient stopping and storage. It is simpler in design than the Electro Premium power brush SEB-236 and does not have a headlight or protective molding which allows it to be more affordable in price.
- The Parquet Twister floor brush has an improved swivel design which is most helpful when cleaning around and under furniture. The Parquet floor brush has been redesigned with shorter natural bristles and spaces between the bristle sections to provide maximum suction and longer life.
- 33-foot cleaning radius allows you to clean a large area without having to change power outlets.
- The cord rewind button only requires a single touch and the entire cord will retract.
- The G/N AirClean filter bags hold a lot of debris and are the best quality bags we have tested.
- A cinch to assemble and change floor tools, use an accessory tool, or remove the wand.
- Beautifully designed with a modern black finish.
- Rubber bumper guard will protect against scuffs and scratches.
- Unmatched quality and reliability.
- Good Housekeeping Seal of approval covers defects on this vacuum cleaner for a period of two years.
Minuses:
- No filter change indicator.
- No automatic suction setting.
- The Electro Plus power brush does not have a headlight and does not shut off when in the park position.
- The crevice tool has a short reach. For a longer crevice tool we offer the Miele Extended Flexible Crevice Tool #SFD 20 (available for purchase in the accessory section of this page).
Summary:
Following in the footsteps of the Miele S5 Callisto, the Miele Complete C3 Kona is a great value with an attractive price. It comes standard with everything you need to clean any floor type from high-pile carpets, to thin rugs and hardwood floors. Helping to keep its cost lower, the Kona lacks a couple of luxury features such as an automatic suction setting and filter change indicator, and it comes with the Electro Plus power brush SEB-228 instead of the Electro Premium power brush SEB-236. The SEB-228 power brush lacks a headlight but is lighter than the SEB-236, which makes easier to maneuver. We recommend the Miele Complete C3 Kona as an excellent choice for homes with wall-to-wall carpeting and hard floors. A Miele vacuum is always the best choice for an allergy or asthma sufferer thanks to its superior filtration system.
