  • 7-year motor and casing warranty with a long owner-longevity record
  • Light 10 lb canister body is easy to carry upstairs
  • Turbine brush bogs down on plush, deep-pile carpet
  • Turbo head adds a high-pitched whine
  • Bags and filters are a recurring cost
  • 29.5 ft operating radius requires replugging in larger homes

Miele Guard L1 AllFloor

  • Cheapest way into Miele's current Guard L1 canister line
  • AllTeQ retractable-bristle head adapts to hard floors, rugs, and low-pile carpet
  • Same 1200W motor and AirClean Plus filtration as the pricier Electro trim
  • Self-sealing HyClean bags keep disposal dust-free
  • 36 ft operating radius covers large rooms without replugging
  • Foot-pedal power control with 4 settings for different surfaces
  • No motorized brushroll - not built for medium or thick carpet
  • 3-year warranty is shorter than the Classic C1 line's 7-year motor coverage
  • Bags and filters are a recurring cost
  • HEPA-grade exhaust filter is an optional add-on, not standard
  • Manufacturer weight is only published as a 13-15 lb range, not an exact figure
