The best canister vacuum we tested is also my Facebook group's fave, and it's on sale
Yahoo Senior Commerce Writer Kristin Granero named the Miele Classic C1 Turbo Team Bagged Canister Vacuum her top canister pick after testing many models. It also happened to be the vacuum many members of the Facebook group I belong to (shoutout to Philaqueens!) recommended. Something else to recommend it: At full price, it's a steep $469, but it's currently on sale for $375 at Amazon. I'd better dust off my cart!
Not gonna lie: Even with $94 shaved off, this vacuum is still an investment — but a worthy one. According to my price trackers, this model rarely dips lower than this, and when it does, it's usually by just a few dollars. Plus, you're getting incredible suction with this thing (more on that in a bit) and it comes with multiple attachments to target just about any surface in your home. While I've never owned a Miele vacuum, I do have the brand's dishwasher and can say that it is elite, so I have high hopes for this dust-sucker.
Canister vacuums don't get as much attention as their sexier stick, upright and robotic cousins, so here's a little explainer about what sets them apart: "In a canister vacuum, the dust bin is on wheels and trails behind the cleaner head, whereas with a traditional upright vacuum, the dust bin sits in front," says Granero. "The benefit of a canister vacuum is that the wand is freed up and therefore more nimble. And the Classic C1 Turbo is among the most powerful and versatile models we tried."
It's also user-friendly: "You just attach the hose to the canister on one side and to the wand on the other, then click the wand into whichever cleaner head base — or attachment — you'd like to use," she explains. "There's a dial on the canister for selecting your desired suction strength depending on the job at hand, along with power and cord-rewind buttons."
She adds, "[It] comes with a 0.95-liter canister containing a dust bag, a long hose, an adjustable wand and two cleaning head bases — a bristled brush for hard floors and a TurboTeq brush for carpeted surfaces. It also has three attachments for detailing purposes: a dusting brush, a crevice tool and an upholstery tool."
Got pets? I don't, but my hair does shed a lot (sorry if that's TMI!). Luckily, Granero says that "where this vac really outpaced the competition was in our 'passenger pet' test — when we used the TurboTeq brush, it sucked up stubborn pet hair in just a few passes."
Among its other strengths? Versatility ("We liked how we could customize the suction settings to optimize for not only different surfaces but different materials in varying heights"), its adjustable pole, "effective" attachments, maneuverability, large capacity and three-tiered filtration system for trapping airborne particles and irritants.
Of course, this vacuum does require dustbags, which need to be swapped out, but hey — they make emptying it a lot easier!
Granero (and my Facebook group) aren't alone — more than 2,200 Amazon customers say this vacuum deserves a perfect rating.
"I've been a self-proclaimed vacuum connoisseur for years — I've sampled the Shark, Dyson, Kenmore and more, each one falling victim to the wear and tear of my three kids and multiple pets," shared one cleaning obsessive. "But enter the Miele, my dream vacuum. Since I welcomed it into my chaotic, post-remodel dust storm in early August 2024, it's been nothing short of miraculous. This powerhouse is reliable, consistent and its suction strength is unreal — it practically vacuums up my frustrations along with the debris! Whether on hard floors or carpet, the Miele performs flawlessly."
"This vacuum is seriously amazing," raved another impressed buyer. "It not only got the rugs in my new house looking brand-new, it also got dust off of my lampshades that sticky rollers and damp cloths never removed. Now I'm regretting waiting so long to get this. It makes cleaning so much faster and makes you realize how much dirt and dust you're missing with other less powerful stick vacuums. I'm in awe."
"This guy replaced two other vacuum cleaners that we had for carpet and floors," wrote this neatnik. "It works great, with tremendous suction that is very easily adjusted for more delicate rugs, etc. It's nice and light, so easy to use on the stairs and it is much quieter than the old cleaners. I absolutely LOVE how well the air that cycles through the cleaner is filtered before blowing back into the room."
"No more cat hair or dust bunnies on my hardwood floor, in the corners or underneath furniture," said a mostly pleased shopper. "This Miele is well made, has strong suction and is lightweight — which I need for my arthritic hands to pull around." Their one note? "The cord could be longer. I have a 1,800-square-foot house, and I thought the cord length wouldn't matter, but I do plug it into different outlets in nearly every room, but I don't mind."
"I actually don't hate vacuuming as much as I used to, and I'm vacuuming more," revealed a final fan. "[The] only cons are that now I have to buy bags. Bad for the environment and the wallet, but honestly emptying [my] Dyson, the dirt would go all over the place, in the air, so I don't know how good that was for the environment, either. I [also] wish the cord was longer."
And if you're in the market for a reasonably priced stick vacuum, this is the one I use:

Deadline Alert: Novo Nordisk A/S (NVO) Investors Who Lost Money Urged To Contact Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP About Securities Fraud Lawsuit
LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP reminds investors of the upcoming deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in the class action filed on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Novo Nordisk A/S ('Novo Nordisk' or the 'Company') (NYSE: NVO) securities between May 7, 2025, to July 28, 2025, inclusive (the 'Class Period'). IF YOU SUFFERED A LOSS ON YOUR NOVO NORDISK INVESTMENTS, CLICK HERE TO INQUIRE ABOUT POTENTIALLY PURSUING CLAIMS TO RECOVER YOUR LOSS UNDER THE FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS. What Happened? On July 29, 2025, Novo Nordisk cut its previously issued fiscal year 2025 guidance, lowering sales growth from 13-21% to 8-14%, and operating profit from 16-24% to 10-16%. The Company cited lower growth expectations for both Ozempic and Wegovy on the back of a slowdown in market expansion, competition, and the alleged continued use of compounded GLP-1s. On this news, Novo Nordisk's stock price fell $15.06, or 21.8%, to close at $53.94 per share on July 29, 2025, thereby injuring investors. What Is The Lawsuit About? The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) Novo Nordisk repeatedly ignored and minimized the significance of the personalization exception for GLP-1 compounding, greatly overestimated its ability to capture patients coming off of compounded treatments, and was ultimately ill equipped to capitalize upon the purported significant unmet patient population; and (2) as a result, Defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times. If you purchased or otherwise acquired Novo Nordisk securities during the Class Period, you may move the Court no later than September 30, 2025 to request appointment as lead plaintiff in this putative class action lawsuit.

Amazon Deals of the Day: Save on Your Energy Bill With $40 Off the Google Nest Learning Thermostat
Amazon sells a vast array of products, with new ones arriving daily across categories, including home essentials, tech gadgets and furniture. Lucky for us, the retail giant loves cutting prices as much as it loves adding new products. But deciding which offers are worth grabbing (and which aren't) is a full-time job, so we did all the heavy lifting, hand-picking the top markdowns from the bunch. Today, we spotted the Google Nest Learning thermostat for a nice $40 off. We also found the Insta Pot Pro for over 40% off. And finally, the Kasa smart motion sensor dimmer switch is also over 40% off. If you're looking to save on your energy bill, the Google Nest Learning thermostat can help you do so. It has features such as automated Eco Modes which make energy saving easy. Plus, local utility rebates may also help make the thermostat more affordable. This thermostat has a room sensor included. Also, it's super easy to set up and adjust the smart schedule. It has an excellent display with LED lighting that's clear and easy to read. And, there's no C-wire required so installation is a breeze. The only thing our reviewers didn't like was its price, but that's about to change. This thermostat usually retails for almost $300, one of the priciest smart thermostats out there. But thanks to a $40 discount, you can grab one for just $240. It's not a record low, but it's only $20 away. With some kids already back in school and others gearing up to go back, our lives are going to get super busy again. Between our jobs, housework and helping kids with their homework, making a healthy delicious dinner every night can sound like the biggest chore. But with the Insta Pot Pro, simply throw your ingredients in there and let the pot work its magic. The Insta Pot Pro has 10 presets to chose from including pressure cook, slow cook, keep warm, as well as specific food presets for rice, yogurt and more. This model is eight-quarts, meaning it can handle up to eight servings, perfect for family dinners and even meal prepping. And it's dishwasher safe so cleaning is a breeze. This instant pot usually lists for $200. But a generous 41% discount brings it down to $119, the lowest price of the year. And it's only $10 more than the record low seen in 2022. If you're looking for more devices to add into your smart home collection without breaking the bank, the Kasa smart motion sensor switch is perfect. This switch allows you to turn on the light with motion and turn it off after a set amount of time. During the day, the sensor can detect natural sunlight and prevent the light from turning on, saving you energy. You can also dim the lights using this. With away mode, it will automatically turn the lights on and off at different times to give the illusion that someone is home, keeping your home safe. Plus it works with Google Assistant, Samsung SmartThings and Alexa giving you the ultimate hands-free experience. It's already pretty affordable with a list price of $40. But a nice 43% discount drops the price to $23, only $3 more than the all-time low price. With so many deals on Amazon, deciding which ones are worth your money can be difficult. But CNET has combed through what the world's largest online retailer has to offer, and we've gathered the best deals for you to check out.
