not good for miele
Blizzard CX1 Cat & Dog (SKCR3)unfortunately this Vacuum Cleaner turns itself off to do " comfort mode" rendering it useless for its purpose we bought this product as expected good backup from miele .. no such thing as goodwill & as luck would have it the unexpectedly short warranty of a " good" product? expired last month .. obviously with a high self esteemed product one shouldn't need a extended warranty.. our last Miele Vacuum was 17 years old & only died because of the 2019 bushfires
Show detailsNowhere near as good as the bagged version.
Blizzard CX1 Cat & Dog (SKCR3)We brought this after previously owning the bagged vacuum. The suction on this model is poor. Vacuumming takes a lot longer, and the roller is always becoming blocked. Really sorry we spent so much money on this model.

Blizzard CX1 Excellence (SKCR3)Have had this vacuum for 2 years and although it sucks extremely well, I have already had 3 things go wrong with it. 1)cord retraction no longer works, 2)when pole is lengthened it won't stay extended and 3)small brush won't stay in place when extended. It is also heavy and cumbersome. It's like Miele have concentrated all their efforts on the sucking power and nothing on the design. Should be better for a relatively high priced product. Couldn't recommend this vacuum cleaner and I will probably return to Dyson for my next purchase

Worst purchase
Blizzard CX1 Cat & Dog (SKCR3)Bought 2 months ago
The head fills up with hair I have 3 girls with long hair and after every use takes me forever to get hair out
You can’t remove rollers like a Dyson and definitely not suitable for stairs it’s very heavy
Called Miele and was advised to get scissors to remove hair but it’s so tangled in there
Does not live up to its price
Overall it’s a waste of time and money would not recommend

Worst vaccum cleaner ever
Blizzard CX1 Excellence (SKCR3)I have brought Miele vac cleaners before and loved them, this would have to be the worst EVER VC
Constantly runs Comfort function, bagless compartment only holds about 1/2 cup before this kicks in, Useless on non carpet floors, power cord gets caught constantly, and all in all it really struggles to clean floors, I absoultly hate it, will NEVER buy a Miele brand again

Blizzard CX1 Cat & Dog (SKCR3)Have had 2 Dysons previously, both uprights and found them cumbersome and heavy. Did not want a hand held as on full power battery life is ridiculously short. Did some research and found this Miele. We have 2 cats, hardwood and carpet floors and this works extremely well, in fact, better than the Dysons. And it is half the price of a Dyson. It is very quiet and easy to move around. Highly recommend.
Show detailsYes! Finally!
Blizzard CX1 Cat & Dog (SKCR3)After buying a vaccume from every major company in the past 4 years, I have finally found my dream vaccume!! Meile continues to make quality products that perform as promised and better!
Show detailsLove the Blizzard
Blizzard CX1 Cat & Dog (SKCR3)I have 2 shedding dogs and a labradoodle that brings the dog park debris home. The Blizzard makes short work of the endless dust and fur on parquet and rugs alike. Just one niggle...the inbuilt brush head gets stuck in the extended position.
Show detailsOver priced junk
Blizzard CX1 Cat & Dog (SKCR3)We bought this vacuum cleaner thinking that it being a good European name (and damned expensive!) would be a great vacuum cleaner for a house with two dogs, a Labrador and a long coated German Shepherd and two cats, we were wrong.
The turbo head clogs with hair in a very short time and needs a sharp cutting tool to free up, short of pulling it pieces it will not be able to be fully cleaned.
The handle is made from plastic and has broken, making vacuuming a painful chore, the metal connector will flex and collapse if weight is placed on, like getting a particular ground in patch of shepherd hair.
A very disappointing machine and as I said over priced, but then again what does one expect put of the EU nowadays...
I would just like to add that Miele customer service did come to the party and were very good about things, the Australian customer service is first rate

Frustrating
Blizzard CX1This vacuum replaced my excellent miele bagged cat and dog vacuum of about 15-20 years. I have tiled and oak flooring in a modest sized modern house with myself and 2 border collies/several cats/an open fire place all that my previous vacuum coped with no problems. This vacuum if it comes across anything larger than a microscopic piece of dust stops and goes into comfort mode for 20 seconds on a very regular basis. It is the most frustrating useless and expensive appliance I have had the misfortune to have purchased. Not fit for purpose if you have cats and dogs. This review does not reflect the actual thoughts and language that emanates when using this appliance.
Show detailsSo happy!!!
Blizzard CX1My new Miele Boost CX1 cat and dog bagless vacuum clearer, does a fantastic job at not only removing pet hair but also removing the the dirt from all surfaces.

It’s ok, but multiple warranty claims after 36months
Blizzard CX1 Cat & Dog (SKCR3)We previously owned a bagged Miele, and then upgraded to the bagless. The wand with the built in brush head is absolute garbage. It eventually wears out, meaning the head doesn’t stay locked in place. The unit itself is fairly easy to clean. The turbo head is an absolute pain to clean. We pulled this apart to remove hair, but it eventually broke (the clips holding the assembly together are extremely weak) They could learn a thing or two from Dyson and their turbo head designs…
The unit seems to have failed after 36 months, the main filter (desi

Made of weak plastic
Blizzard CX1 Excellence (SKCR3)I had my last Nilfisk vacuum cleaner for 20years but decided to replace it with this Miele. Suction is quite good but parts of the vacuum have already started to break after using it 3-4 times for the past 2 weeks. It is almost new - I haven't even used enough times to empty it yet.

*Sigh*
Blizzard CX1 Cat & Dog (SKCR3)Was so looking forward to the new Miele - on the back of how brilliant the 15 y/old one was.......
Very disappointing for a once reliable quality brand.
Plastic not so fantastic - feels cheap and like bits are going to snap off with dust container removal and brush nozzle fitted to handle.
No air relief valve - yes that old simple hole in the handle that reduces suction - which is fantastic on carpet but its a bicep workout moving the head around - giving my wife the excuse she needs to ensure the vacuuming is on my to-do list....

More cons than pros - cons are dealbreakers
Blizzard CX1 Cat & Dog (SKCR3)I have had this vacuum cleaner for a couple of years, and I am disappointed in it, wish I hadn't bought it and I will never buy another Miele product ever.
I suggest that Miele produce 500 prototypes of their new products, farm them out to 500 house cleaners and get reports back on what feaures are good and what features do not work.
Starting with the pros - Miele has some good ideas, (well, two).
- attachments are stored on the machine, so are there ready to go when you need them
-dust catcher is easy to remove and has a convenient yellow clip
Questions & Answers
Bought this a couple of months ago from Amazon and as soon as I used it on wood floors it seemed too quiet and suction was not great but I thought that was how it was supposed to be! until someone else used it and sis how awful it was...appears I may have got a dud. How can I get an exchange situated in Australia

Good morning, my Bluzzard CX1 comfort/clean light keeps coming on & the machine makes a knocking noise then turns off. What could this be? All my filters are kept cleaned. Could you please just answer the question on here. It would makes things so much quicker.
Peter - did you figure this out? Mine is doing the same thing!
Good Morning Peter,
We are sorry to hear that you are having problems with your Miele Blizzard CX1. Have you cleaned all the filters thoroughly? There is a pre-filter, and fine dust filter, and a dust container that all require maintenance. Please refer to your manual or have a look at youtube video's as these are very thorough. The user manual can be accessed via the Downloads tab on the Miele website using the following link - https://www.miele.com.au/domestic/vacuum-cleaners-1784.htm?mat=10502220&name=Blizzard_CX1_Cat_%26_Dog_PowerLine - please refer to page 40,53 and 139. If you have followed the instructions and still have issues with the vacuum you may need to take your vacuum for a service. Kind regards, Daniel
