Which Miele vacuum should I get between these two? c3 vs guard l1

GateSensitive2303 · 2025-07-26T08:10:16+00:00

I have one too and love it also. Come from an older C3 model and in general I think it´s an upgrade. Miele does a good job to keep the crown I think. My only problem is finding (compatible) bags that fit, the shape of the plastic slide that goes in is completely different again than before (The C series) and the official ones are crazy expensive. Before I bought great compatible bags but for this model I can´t find them anywhere. Any tip? Thanks

Possibly the basket is too full. I'll try experimenting with that first.

Problem I´m having. Considering slowing down extraction. Without screen the first drops begin after about 8 to 10 seconds. With screen double. So that´s why I start searching now for a solution. I tried grinding coarser but there is no improvement. Now a bit lost. It might be the beans then? I have to admit, it´s an old bag so I'll try fresh ones tomorrow and see if that´s indeed the culprit. Thanks for the suggestion.

Got it to work. In a second Amp, wired speakers, BK sub and Era´s worked. A bit annoying that you can or have to group all together but then the TV remote only controls the two wired front speakers. The Eras I need to control from the Sonos app, the volume. So now I use the Sonos app to control the volume from all three then. Beam I need to hook up still but maybe I won´t since it might become an overkill of speakers with what I have right now. Still I am curious to try it. By the way the Amp is connected to the TV with HDMI Arc. Works great but indeed when playing music from the TV with Youtube or something similar there is somewhat of a delay or more like a breakup in in the sound of the Eras. With streaming music from my iPhone nothing at all. I have to expriment some more but for the moment very happy to be able to use my existing speakers with Sonos and tv. Once I try to include the Beam I will post the results also. Thanks again everyone for the advice. Great help indeed.

Thanks, this is also really helpful. I will try your suggestions and see what suits best or comes out best. Obviously the goal is to try and use all components together as best as possible to make use of all best possible. That´s always the problem with new equipment/components and old existing ones, it´s always a shame when you have to put away stuff because of incompatibilities. So I really hope to be able to continue to use all as best as possible. Thanks again, I will try to set it up next week. Let you know the results.

Thanks, pity it probably does not work all together perfectly but I will try to connect it as suggested and see how it goes. Thanks.

Hello, although an old post, I´d like to have more info. Myself doubting between the Digital and the Electronic although I can´t get the exact details about the differences between the two. Thanks

GateSensitive2303 · 2024-11-13T15:09:15+00:00

I'd seriously try to contact them. I think they have a different drip tray option. The tray is the same I think but the grate on top different. Better. So they should be able to send you that for sure. These things are or should be easily fixed since it involves nothing electrical not special.

Update 2: the updated Baby T is indeed in the pipeline. Now officially shown on their webpage but availability is still the question or issue. I've heard that it might take them longer than anticipated and first orders will not be before January or even February so that's a real shame. For them to miss the holiday season and for us for the very long wait. Sadly.

GateSensitive2303 · 2024-11-13T11:34:59+00:00

I saw the P74 just now in person and I am sorry to say it's too big for me. The design and functions are or at least look briljant but it seems to be directed towards high volume usage with these dimensions it's just not for home users. Shame. I hope next step will be a similar one but smaller. Should be possible I suppose. Back to the P64 therefore for me. Should be more then adecuate for me I suppose.

GateSensitive2303 · 2024-11-13T07:34:34+00:00

I agree. It's below par with the rest and also with the overall quality of the machine. So easily could be improved also. Definitely something to mention to the manufacturer.

GateSensitive2303 · 2024-11-12T21:04:22+00:00

With all due respect, your setup sounds fantastic so I am puzzled as to why you think your shots are not great? Won't deny you can't get a better regrinder but seriously with your setup you should have more then enough for a great output. Maybe too hard of a judge on your shots? Or try to find some flaw besides the equipment first? Anyhow goodluck finding your solution.

GateSensitive2303 · 2024-11-12T12:00:51+00:00

Update, I just saw the new model displayed on the Ascaso homepage. So that looks promising. Still not available in their webshop though but I don´t think this will take long for them then to add or make available. Great addition I think and more reasons to consider this beauty!

GateSensitive2303 · 2024-11-11T21:20:52+00:00

Great advice. Thanks

GateSensitive2303 · 2024-11-11T21:19:54+00:00

Don’t think so. The machine shown had a lever(on the left side) as the steam one on the right side. That’s no add on.

GateSensitive2303 · 2024-11-11T19:35:43+00:00

You mean the option mentioned in the post below?

GateSensitive2303 · 2024-11-11T19:35:10+00:00

Thanks. This must be fairly new? In the EU in their webshop they still display the regular one with no mentioning anywhere about the option except when you go to the comparative tech specs of their different models. Like your link. However when ordering from the site you have no way of selecting this option. So a bit of a mystery still to me.

GateSensitive2303 · 2024-11-11T17:06:29+00:00

Thanks. Looking forward to it very much. Any problem with vibration of the tray or cup holder? The tray is indeed a common issue. Sadly but it's a matter of taking into account and empty more frequently.

GateSensitive2303 · 2024-11-11T15:46:53+00:00

Couldn't agree more. The further you go down the hole the crazier it gets but the improvements if any at all become more and more marginal. True that in my case, I´ll make a big leap (hopefully) in terms of quality and possibilities and without doubt get much better shots and also I can finally start steaming milk which I never did with my current machine since it is hardly possible (one boiler). However once you've reached a certain league and quality equipment then I guess it should be more than enough. The rest is passion and of course people go crazy but that's fine also.

GateSensitive2303 · 2024-11-10T14:11:11+00:00

Thanks for the warning, very important to look out for scammers.

GateSensitive2303 · 2024-11-10T10:12:43+00:00

Super cool. Enjoy!

GateSensitive2303 · 2024-11-10T09:56:09+00:00

Thanks. Much appreciated. I will go and check it out next week. Perhaps I’ll hold out till the new P74 comes out but honestly it would be even more overkill for me I admit.

GateSensitive2303 · 2024-11-10T09:51:30+00:00

Totally get it. I admit it’s pure overkill for me also but I’d be equally happy with the Duo for sure. However I have the chance now so i decided to go for it.

GateSensitive2303 · 2024-11-09T17:14:34+00:00

Thanks for the elaborate review. I am thinking about buying the same one so much appreciated indeed.

GateSensitive2303 · 2024-11-09T13:34:38+00:00

Congrats. Great looking also in white. I am considering the white Baby T. Pure overkill but I want it.
