Miele Blizzard CX1 Multi Floor (SKCR3)

Absolute nightmare – Bought this vacuum cleaner for use on tiles and carpet. The HEPA filter is useless because the system leaks dust through the ill fitting plastic components, which are so badly designed and made, they make the vac a nightmare to use. For example, when I tried to remove the dust canister for emptying (always a struggle) the catch often failed,… Read more

spilling dust and dirt everywhere. The telescopic brush handle is so stiff to release, I gave up using it. When I returned the unit to Miele (within warranty) they kept it for six weeks, returning it with a new canister that works little better than the old one. Are these vacs European seconds that have been dumped in the Australian market?

Amazing performance cleaner! – I purchased this Miele multi floor cleaner and I am so happy with the quality and performance I highly recommend this product. It is a very quiet machine with excellent suction.  Show details

Non-existent customer service and repairs – Our bagless CX1 vacuum broke 1 year after we purchased it. We submitted a warranty claim through AppliancesOnline, where we bought it, who contacted Miele on our behalf. Miele still has not replied to them, so AO can't do anything. We contacted Miele ourselves, and were told to wait 10-12 business days (that's 2-3 weeks) for a reply. It is… Read more

ridiculous that this brand tries to portray itself as high quality. We will never again buy another Miele appliance.

Great product – The machine is super quiet and I found the suction to be great for both carpets and tiles. The wheels make it easy to maneovre around the house, however, it's pretty heavy so might not be suitable if you plan to lugg it up and down stairs regularly. The clip for the dust bin is a little finnicky but I haven't found this to be an issue so long as I take a second extra to close it properly. Overall happy with my purchase and would recommend. Show details ·  1

Better than a Dyson! – I purchased this recently at the Boxing Day sales, so got a good buy. I replaced a previous Miele Parquetry floor vacuum that still works well, but had survived a house renovation so it had seen better days. I had previously owed a Dyson that I GAVE away as it was terrible at being a vacuum cleaner. I had no hesitation in buying another Miele… Read more ·  1

and after a quick search on Product Review, my choice was made easy. I LOVE this new Miele! The swivel head on the timber floors is brilliant and gets under and in all the nooks and crannies! It even slid beautifully under my freezer door! Having the small brush built into the handle has to have been a woman's idea :D .... BRILLIANT! And this one, being bagless, has just made life so much easier! The cord has to be longer too, as I did not have to stop and plug in elsewhere once! I'm impressed... and thats not always an easy thing to do. Thanks Miele! I would highly recommend this vacuum.

Disappointing – Pluss:- Easy instructions and assembly Very good suction Sturdily built Minus:- Cord is ridiculously short at 6.4 metres. Not 7.5 as claimed on the Miele au.web site. Previous vacuum had an 11 metre cord. Short cord means changing power points twice as often. The built in brush accessory is useless for cleaning sliding window and door tracks as… Read more

the bristles are too short. There also aren’t many of them so I expect they will quickly wear out. The dust canister doesn’t close tightly. There is a visible 1-2mm gap so the outside of the canister and the compartment it sits in are coated in dust which has to be wiped off every time I empty it. It’s heavy and bulky and takes up a lot of space in the hall cupboard.

Excellent suction. A bit heavy – I have 3 large rugs and bamboo flooring exposed through most of the house. The bare floor attachment is perfect; very gentle with good brushes and plenty of suction which can be adjusted for all attachments. There could be a bit too strong a suction on rugs, but the strength can be adjusted. Smaller tools are attached to the cleaner until… Read more ·  1

required so there is no searching for the right tool. The dust container is easy to empty , and the amount of fine dust it collects is amazing.The machine has four wheels which make it glide along and it cannot tip over. One criticism is the weight of the machine. It is quite heavy, but then again it would rarely need to be lifted, and the weight makes for a very stable machine. It has a very long electrical cord and the machine is extremely quiet, so I can hear the phone if it rings when I am vacuuming.

Perfection, in every way – No Issues, amazing, wow, if my late husband was still here, I wouldn't have brought this, he would of said it is a tad expensive, true, I absolutley love, it worth every cent, and the dirt it picks up, I thought I haven't been outside with it, it was really full, hey there is only me here, and off course when u turn it on, it is like a Rolls Royce… Read more ·  1

engine, like when these new aeroplanes are ready to taxi, that sound, and off course u can hear the t.v. hear what people are saying, and it isn't heavy to lug round, and off course getting the attachments off are great, just press a button, two main big brushes, one just swivels all the time gets into the corners, I use that for the tiles, and floating floor would be great if u have that, I know in my own heart, I have a vaccum life, hey how many cheap ones have we brought, (I am cringing here), no more. Great for Christmas, just the one present, cos that is all the money we have, But I know I haven't regretted buying it, and it has so many small crevis tools, and they are stacked so cleverly, like a rocket ship, everything fits in sublimely And true vaccuming is not so tedious like every week, No more, more like once a month

used it once wow – Hi people,remember I said I have or had a cleaner, well no more, she couldn't make it this week, so last night I used my brand new Meile, u know it is like one of those high end cars that we can never afford, it purrs, and when u turn it on press the switch, wow it is so quiet, and most of all it picks up heaps of muck, and the cord is so much… Read more ·  1

longer, I used the crevic tools, great, but no, read this, the vaccum is for carpet and parquet floor, I have carpet and mostly tiles, so I used the other vaccum head on the tiles, wow it really is amazing,, it swivels, like all the fun of the fair ground ride, consequently it goes into corners, hey u don't really need the crevice tool. And off course changing heads, my past vaccums shivers pulling and tugging, but not not Meile, there is a button on top, hey presto and the head comes loose, how easy was that, and emptying the dirt bin, which is large, great, but it is so easy to take out and put back.

Remember I said before I used it, it is expensive, true, but once u have used it, u know u have a winner, and because the Meile is so neat and easy, u won't need to pay for a cleaner, Howzat

Remember it is the one that does the Parquet floors, I assume they mean floating, wooden floor, but rest assured it does tiles so so good

Better than Dyson!! – I bought this 4 months ago and I was dead set on getting Dyson because my siblings have it. I ended up going with Miele because I have hard wood floors and was worried the Dyson would scratch them. I am so unbelievably happy with my vacuum. My house is relatively clean but every time I vacuum it picks up so much dust particles and I feel like… Read more ·  1

the air is cleaner.

Best thing I’ve ever bought. It also cleans itself too and it’s so easy to use. Will stick to Miele in future!

Best Vacuum! – Amazing performance and the best part about it is you can choose the level of suction you want depending on the type of floor. It comes with a vacuum head for tiles and a turbo head to really clean the carpet. After vacuuming the carpet with the turbo head it was like walking on brand new carpet. I highly recommend the purchasing you won’t be disappointed  Show details

Wow! – I love bagless vacuums and am so pleased miele have released this model. Adjustable suction means I can easily vacuum rugs without sucking them off the floor. Huge canister and long power cord all bonus for me but the biggest plus is the onboard tools and the handheld brush nozzle. Much quieter than my previous vacuum and, although a bit heavier,… Read more

it seems to be well made with no flimsy plastic bits. We have mix of carpet and tiles so went with the multifloor model.
