Kenmore Pet-Friendly
Score: 72/100
Miele Classic C1
Score: 85/100Rankings
The Miele Classic C1 Pure Suction is a lightweight, bagged canister vacuum that excels on hard floors and low-pile rugs with a long reach and quiet operation. It falls short on deep-pile carpet performance and offers a shorter warranty period. Ideal for small to medium homes where quiet, easy-to-maneuver cleaning is a priority.
The Kenmore 10701 is a lightweight, bagless canister vacuum that excels at pet-hair removal and offers HEPA filtration for allergen control, making it a solid choice for small apartments and budget-conscious shoppers. Its short cord, modest suction power, and occasional wand reliability issues limit its suitability for larger homes or heavy-duty cleaning. Best suited for pet owners needing quick, portable clean-ups on floors, carpets, and cars.

Professional reviewers commend the Kenmore 10701 as the best vacuum around $100, emphasizing its lightweight build, pet-friendly turbine brush, HEPA filtration, and versatile accessories. While they appreciate its value and portability, they note the wand's reliability issues and limited cord length as drawbacks, and caution that its suction power may not rival higher-priced models for deep cleaning.
Everyday users generally praise the vacuum's portability, quick clean-up capability, and effective pet-hair performance, especially appreciating the HEPA filter for allergy relief. Recurring complaints focus on the telescoping wand's tendency to fall or stick and the short cord, but overall sentiment remains positive for casual, small-space cleaning.
Professional reviewers and editors emphasize the C1's standout 29-ft operating radius, quiet 64 dB performance, and user-friendly features such as the bag-change indicator and safety shut-off. They commend its lightweight construction and versatile floorhead for hard-floor and low-pile cleaning, while noting that the lack of a powered brush limits its suitability for deep-pile carpets.
