You, sir, are a perfectionist. I know because i am exactly like that as well. I bet that particular Miele has not been that clean since it was purchased at the shop . :-)

am a Miele dealer, and its my first time changing a motor in Vacuum. My tech is on vacation and I watched hime for 7 months, I will be a big girl now !

wonderful to see someone take pride in doing their work even though most people (outside of obsessive youtubers) will never see it.

pleasure to watch somebody who cares to meet and exceed customers expectations...well done..and enjoyed the video..

Fantastically detailed video! Impressive how well you've documented and narrated the video. Your professionalism comes across very well.

Thanks a ton for posting this video; it made my job very easy as I was following along while repairing my 3-year old C3 Miele vacuum cleaner. It had nearly stopped working due to leakage of dust into the motor and other parts of the cleaner. While I didn't do detailing as shown in the video I am happy that the VC is now running almost as new.

That "special Miele tool" is awfully similar to the little plastic tool that comes with their washing machines to open the pump door ;)

@First Last Definitely not 50$. Unfortunately outside of Dyson and door-to-door salesmen brands this is a pretty low margin business. Cost of distribution is also stupendously high. I'd guess the manufacturing costs are around ~50%, more for the cheaper models, distribution, marketing and RMA costs probably make up the bulk of the rest and the margins are 25 to 15% on the high end models and 10 to -1% on the cheaper models

Wow, great job servicing that vacuum. What an excellent video showing how Miele vacs come apart, how to clean them, and then how to put them back together! I have been pretty gentle on my Miele and have had it for 15 years. I just took it in for a service yesterday. It actually looked pretty clean inside because I would vacuum the interior when I changed bags if it seemed dusty. The bags are so good that it's rare that it would look bad. My only regret is letting a rather clumsy tenant use it, because she would bang the exterior on her bed frame, and put so many scratches on it. Mine has a soft-touch paint that was really beautiful when it was new, but doesn't hold up well, and can't be polished up like in the video. I hope the owners were charged a lot for that extensive detail.

Great Video! Hope to see more of these in the future.

Ugh! I was vacuuming with our C3 and opened the closet door to the water heater and saw some 'dust' in the water heater pan. Removed the floor attachment and used the 'tube' to get into that tight space and it turned out not to be dust.... it was water! My water heater had sprung a leak and my old eyeballs didn't see it. I quickly turned off the vacuum (but water still got sucked into it). My immediate attention went towards replacing the water heater (2nd floor condo) and so it was a day or more before I could get back to the vacuum. Watching these videos to see if I have a chance of repairing. Now that I have time to think about it.... the vacuum cost more than the water heater did... but I had to make sure the folk downstairs didn't suffer from our mishap.

Thank you so much sir, you helped me a lot.

This is an awesome vacuum. I found one recently used under a year old for $750. Unfortunately even though the hepa filter is almost new it has an animal smell to it. I will have to take it to the shop and have them take it apart and completely clean it. Perhaps replace the filter. I don't know why people don't take care of vacuums. I clean houses and I absolutely love love love this vacuum. I have isef Miele for years and this one is absolutely amazing.

Nice to see what's inside a Uni-Q (I've one for upstairs vacuuming). Mine differs only that it's wearing Miele Dynamic castors (no idea why Miele used those on their Alize model but not their top end model!).

Never sent a vacuum get detailed like a car, before! Ready for resale! The owner doesn't deserve to get this back, if they spent all that dough and can't put in new bags! Duh?!

I don’t have that tool but I have just replaced the motor on my C3, I have also serviced the turbo foot.

Great advice

Cannot believe people that spend that kind of money on a Machine like that and don't take care of it! You clean up every thing like new! You are Awesome!

It’s light weight🌼 great suction, easy to maneuver and gets up all the dog hair. I will recommend Miele to anyone and everyone with dog hair and allergies.

Great video, just had one in for service and this saved me a lot of time and guesswork. I had the special tool because it's the same as the one on my Miele Washing Machine.

Hi Performance Reviews, This happened to my vacuum by accident. I have a new Miele C3 Complete PowerLine SGDF3 (S 8340), used twice. After the second use, when I opened the hatch I noticed that there's dust all over the compartment, accumulated residue of carpet yuck on the motor filter, and the air/exhaust filter was all dirty as well. The way this happened was that when you open the hatch to the bag compartment, the bag is pulled out of this place during the process (not sure if this intentionally, or just happens by chance), so the next time when you close the hatch, you have to make sure to click into place the bag again (talking about original bags, of course). So when closed, there was a small space between the hose and bag, and this let way for some of the dirty stuff to go through the vacuum (this was noticeable because the bag had smudges of dirt in that top section). Again, this was really accidentally and an honest mistake. This happened only once on a short vacuum session, and probably never again (lesson learned, right?). Vacuum is bought from another country, and Miele authorized dealer in my country is out of the question, as it will probably cost me more than the vacuum cost itself. My question is: is the vacuum now in need of something of what you did in this video, or is there anything I can do from user side to rectify the problem as much as I can? Really hoping for the latter, because I have invested so much effort into getting one of these machines, only to end its life for a mistake such as this.

@PerformanceReviews

The automatic bag removal is a feature of the vacuum. You're always supposed to reseat the bag before you close it. Generally speaking they do need some sort of service once that happens. The very least you can do is change all the filters, vacuum out the compartment thoroughly what's a different vacuum. Air compressor can help too.

@NikolaGjorgievski

​@@PerformanceReviews Thank you very much for the feedback, really appreciate it. I went through the manual and don't think I have ever stumbled upon this part with the bag being reset every time you open the compartment, and while I could be the exception, this really does seem like a really poor, nearly useless feature. I see its point, but anyway it's just not worth the risk of something like this happening to a brand new vacuum for no apparent reason (never mind, I am just angry at myself for letting this happened to me, so /rant off). As I cannot have it serviced the phenomenal way you did in this video, I will just do what you suggested, and hope it will serve me well without it. Kind regards.

@NikolaGjorgievski

​@@sammy7237 , hello. The vacuum is doing just fine for now. I have not had it professionally service because I think in my country, it will cost me like half the price I paid for the vacuum itself. Took to a local vacuum service shop to "just have a look", and by experience they told me that the vacuum works great, has not lost suction power, and to continue using it as is. I am aware that it's a shallow answer, but I am going to have to take it as it is. And I do not plan to do it myself as the vacuum is new and still under warranty (despite the great, in-depth videos from professionals such as Performance Reviews!). What I did is thoroughly clean the compartment by vacuuming and wiping it to a state like new. The initial bag is almost full now, and as advised above, will change the exhaust filter earlier than planned. It is a fact that some debris landed in the motor, seeing how much of it landed outside the bag and in the compartment, but this was not a case as in the video above - to vacuum without a bag... so I try and take comfort in the fact that this will not cause motor damage in the (near) future. In case you have more questions, just ping me.

Is that filter that sits on top of the HEPA filter necessary? I mean it's not really a filter. I was just wondering if it's necessary to have another buffer after the HEPA. It's not like it's stopping any particles from escaping.

I feel sorry for the mechanically uninitiated who end up unknowingly abusing their expensive gear like this, but thanks to the internet and videos like this, we can hope to pull them into the light some day. I only have an entry-level C1 but damn it's such a fine machine to use after my years-long dalliance with cheapo bagless vacs. I treat this C1 like any sane owner would treat this expensive C3; with respect

What do you use to remove paint scuffs?

Mine is making a very light vibrating sound when on but still has a very strong suction. What should I do?

I noticed the bag hose on it looks different. Hopefully it holds up better. Still, 1 $10 hose every 10 years I can live with. You do great work btw. Very professional and detailed.

The motor area wasn't too impacted, I did manage to clean most of it away. I'm just wondering how much dust got inside the motor as I cannot open it. It sounds perfectly fine but there's an awful musty smell coming from the motor. What can I do to freshen it up? Thanks.

Just search for “industrial felt,” maybe add “recycled” to the search terms, and you’ll find it, I promise. If you can buy just a yard/metre, you could easily DIY it. If you have the old pieces to use as a template, that’s even better. Hope this information didn’t come too late. Good luck!

I own an equivalent high end "European" model the Select XL Parquet and yes you can and should disassemble the motor for inspection and cleaning as part of the service. Its pretty straightforward. The metal end cap is a loose press fit so just tap it off with a soft mallet then 4 torx20 screws and a metric 13mm socket for the nut on the motor spindle. Remember it's a left hand thread, clockwise to loosen. Use a small flat head screw driver to block the impeller, not vice grips! Thanks for the videos but you make it overly mysterious imho.

I'm currently living in Europe and have an older (Australian) 2200w version of the Capricorn unit and I absolutely love it but this model was not popular (or available) due to Europeans thinking that it takes too much power.
