Is this the best price?

The Miele Classic C1 Cat & Dog is Miele’s premium compact multi floor canister vacuum with 2 floor tools. Designed for Pets and Pet hair with included tools, including the Handheld Pet Turbobrush, great for pets, pet hair, dirt and dust. It is lightweight, the canister weighing only 9.5 lbs. Miele vacuums are extremely quiet compared to other canisters (they are sound insulated) and are German engineered to last.

The included Charcoal Activated AirClean Filter outputs air cleaner than the air it takes in, and neutralizes pet odors. This keeps the dust and dirt in the bag and out of the air you breathe. Great for allergy sufferers. A rotary dial adjusts the suction power to your needs, and even has a quiet setting. You can rewind the retractable cord automatically by stepping on a switch on the back of the canister.
