Miele Blizzard CX1

Love Miele vacuums , we’ve used them for decades ! But , there are a few hit n miss with the new bag less version. Firstly the bag less concept is great, but needs to be emptied a lot ! Filter and container fill with muck shutting the machine down after doing almost all of downstairs . But it does save on vacuum bags , so ? It is stylish, and efficient, but my personal pet hate is the new Attached integrated brush ! Omg if and when you manage to pull it down to click into position, which I couldn’t do myself the first year ! Then, as it loosens...

Great vacuum cleaner provided you don’t have wooden floors as the electrical cable gets caught underneath again and again and again - extremely frustrating

We have dogs and this works well. However, I find it very annoying when power cord ends up under the machine as I vaccum around furniture and the triangle shaped filter on the inside in the part you empty gets blocked and the only way I have found to empty it is to soak in water , wait and try to wash out the hair and dirt it contains. It has a fine mesh cover and there are holes in the top for dust to go into it.

Mostly a great vacuum cleaner, but I'm here to point out the one huge disappointment (for us).
1. The integrated dusting brush is rubbish. It requires a bit of a knack to move it back and forth, but even more importantly it's poor quality. The bristles are weak and the mechanism that locks it into position wore out after about 18 months which renders it completely useless because it no longer locks into position. We had to buy an after market brush. The integrated brush is a great idea but this design seems really poor, which is why it failed. We would have given it 5 stars, but the brush is important for us.

I have known for a very long time that Miele were great vacuums as I have used this very early on in life. My sisters Monster-In-Law gave her one as a wedding gift and I used to visit and use it occassionaly to help around the house. The first thing I noticed, was how quiet it is on the lowest setting. While it was on low, you would think picking up floor dirt would be limited, but the power of this vacuum is next to none. I now have this model and can only say, great investment and great performance. Other expensive vacuum cleaners are not only noisy, but also unreliable and expensive to fix. I have never had one problem with my one and I am someone who looks after great investments.

I recently cleaned a house and they provided the Miele Blizzard CX1 to be used. I found this machine easy to use had excellent suction and was used on carpet and tiles and lino without a problem. The floors were very clean when finished. I never had any problems with the machine tipping over at any time and this included using it on carpeted stairs. I was also reasonably quiet to use. Loved it.

From thick carpet to floor boards cleans very well we have three cats and once floors are cleaned no more hair or dust bunnies. Keep roller brush free from long hair string and loose cotton we cut it out with scissors so the brush can freely spin.

I was researching long time before buying the vaccum cleaner, as I got tired of many vaccum cleaners which I used in the past. We have got a carpet floor which used to remain like some dirt or dust on the carpet even if we vaccum regularly.

Finally, I decided to go for this after analysing all positive and negative reviews about the product. I have never regretted about my decision since I can see our carpet pretty clean and neat after I vaccum every time. I used bagless vaccum cleaner before, but those ones always gave me headache all the ti...

Very powerfull vacuum, different suction options, not very noisy and easy to pull around the house, decent size cord.
I have a wooden floor and carpete and it works perfectly in both.

This vacuum has been the ultimate lifesaver with both a cat and dog in the household. It is light weight and easy to carry up and down stairs. Great on carpet and hard surfaces. This bag-less vacuum means no more running out of vacuum bags.

I use it on both carpet and hard flooring.
Picks up dog & cat fur with ease on all surfaces. Great suction, easy to clean, no ongoing costs, no issues whatsoever and comes with all the attachments needed at a great price point.

Works great and very quiet. Adjustable suction levels for carpets, mats, tiles. Easy to get around and is very light. Good for use on stairs. Plenty of attachments for lounge suite, car and little areas.

I bought the Miele Blizzard CX1 Excellence vacuum cleaner after moving to a new house which needed a lot of cleaning to be done. I basically wanted the best vacuum available, one that would perform well and would last many years. After doing my research, I chose this one, and bought it on Amazon in November 2020 for $549.

It’s the first new vacuum cleaner I’ve bought in my life. I’m used to living in sharehouses with crappy, old or cheap vacuums without much suction power. I’d say the Miele Blizzard is the best vacuum cleaner I’ve used. And I...

There is a serious design fault with the vacuum head. EVERY time I vacuum I have to stop half way through my house (average size - 2 bed 2 living) and, using a kebab stick, clear great lumps of dust from what appears to be the only exit channel for dust to proceed up the long handle, then vacuum it up via the main handle before reattaching the vacuum head. Agree with all other comments made about the brushes clogging up with hair that also has to be removed manually. On top of that you almost need an engineers qualification to reassemble t...

I've had the CX1 for about 2 years now, initially I thought it great but over the last couple of months I've been getting the orange warning light come on, it then does it's self clean, goes for 1 minute then the red light comes on. I also noticed the suction seem less than I remembered. When it became really annoying ie orange on after 2 to 5 minutes I took it to a local vacuum repair shop. He tells me that most of his servicing is for bagless vacuums. It didn't take long to find that the seal between the dust cannister and vacuum wasn't worki...
