Our Verdict

Miele Classic C1

Miele Complete C3 Alize

The Miele Complete C3 Alize is a better overall canister vacuum than the Miele Classic C1. The Complete C3 performs better on all surface types, is more maneuverable, and comes with a HEPA filter. It also feels better built and slightly quieter. However, it's a bit heavier than the Classic C1.
