Miele Complete C3 Alize vs Miele Complete C3 Cat & Dog

The discontinued Miele Complete C3 Alize and the Miele Complete C3 Cat & Dog are different model variants of the same vacuum. Regardless, the C3 Alize is a cheaper model in the lineup, with a differently designed hose that lacks a power outlet, leaving it unable to use powered floorheads, including the C3 Cat & Dog's SEB 228 floorhead. The Alize comes with only a single floorhead, as opposed to the Cat & Dog's aforementioned powerhead and secondary Parquet Twister tool. The Alize's STB 285-3 attachment is designed for use on bare floors and low-pile carpeting and features a set of retractable bristles. It's much less cumbersome than the Cat & Dog's bundled SEB 228 head, but also far less effective on carpeted flooring. However, the Alize did come bundled with a more effective HEPA AirClean exhaust filter, which does a better job of sealing in allergens compared to the Cat & Dog's Active AirClean filter.
