Miele Blizzard CX1

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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...

This 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.

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

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....

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
