Kenmore BC4002 Canister Vacuum vs Miele Classic C1 Pure Suction PowerLine

Buy the Miele Classic C1 Pure Suction for a lighter, quieter canister with stepless suction control and a long-standing reputation for build quality. Buy the Kenmore BC4002 if you want a powered floor head for deep carpet cleaning, a longer cord and hose, and a HEPA-certified filter. The Kenmore is the heavier, bulkier machine with more cleaning reach; the Miele is the simpler, more maneuverable one that owners say lasts.

• Choose the Kenmore BC4002 if you have wall-to-wall carpet, pets, or a large home where cord length and a powered brush matter more than weight.
• Choose the Miele Classic C1 Pure Suction if you have mostly hard floors and rugs, want a light canister with fine suction control, and value a quiet, durable machine.
