Know before you buy
The SEB 228 is a motorized brush head designed specifically for deep cleaning. It features five height adjustments, allowing you to maintain optimal airflow and agitation even on thicker, high-pile carpets.
Yes, the Parquet Twister is designed with soft, natural bristles that glide over hardwood and tile without scratching. Its unique swivel neck also makes it incredibly easy to maneuver around furniture legs and tight corners.
The Miele Complete C3 features a fully sealed system, meaning all air taken into the vacuum is forced through the HEPA filter before being exhausted. It is certified to capture 99.999% of fine dust and allergens, making it an excellent choice for allergy sufferers.
The vacuum features a 6-stage electronic foot switch located on the canister body. This allows you to easily toggle between settings for delicate curtains, upholstery, hard floors, and heavy-duty carpet cleaning without needing to bend over.
The HomeCare model includes an extended 5-year warranty, which is longer than the standard coverage on many other Miele models. This provides additional peace of mind regarding the longevity and performance of your machine.
At approximately 11 pounds, the canister is relatively lightweight for a full-sized vacuum. Its compact design and smooth-running wheels make it easy to pull behind you, even when moving between rooms or navigating stairs.
