Perfect, loving it
I was looking for a bagless vaccum when I learnt about this brand. I was thinking of buying from a different brand but saw the miele vaccum in the corner. No regrets, I’m Loving my Miele vaccumm cleaner. Very efficient plus savings for the vaccumm bag as it is bagless. Strong suction power its worth the prize. Certainly recommend this vaccum.

Thought it would be better
I bought this machine 4 months ago after reading great reviews. There are a lot of pros, thats for sure, but I am actually a bit disappointed with the suction. Some people rave about it, but I found my old bagged vacuum, which cost less that half the price of this one, was way better. It certainly doesn't 'grab' the carpet like I hoped. I do like the interchangeable heads, and the self retracting cord (cord could be longer). It's fairly quiet and I like the smaller attachments for my stairs. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong to get maximum power?? It is on the highest setting, so it's not that. Regularly gets emptied etc. Any advise would be great!

My house is 90% hardwood floors, with some indoor/outdoor rugs scattered throughout. For these surfaces, this vacuum works FANTASTIC. The one patch I have a more regular type carpet, there is some resistance.... and this probably would be a poor choice for those situations, i'd recommend one of the models with a different head.
That said, the power is more than enough, it's super light, it's quiet. The retractable power cord is convenient. Overall it's great for my house.

So far so good. Very happy
Attachments clip on smoothly and easily (unlike our previous Bosch). All attachments on board, price was reasonable for a good quality vacuum cleaner. I havent had it long but is doing a great job, easy to empty and clean - there doesn't appear to have the paper filter that I used to have to clean out before. Bagless means I will save money - has the turbo head.

Good vacuum
Good suction. Bagless. Easy to empty and clean. Spare tools held at the back of the vacuum cleaner. Brush component is on the handle which is ok but can't be removed if you need to use the brush on the wand for higher area cleaning. The turbo carpet head would be a nice addition as it only comes with the normal floor/carpet head.

Well- built and llightweight
This vacuum is very well-built and lightweight, it is easy to manoeuvre, the power cord is extra-long and It helps me to vacuum fast as I do not need to change the power cord in different sockets. This vacuum has good suction and the bags are standard Miele bags and are easily replaceable and I can buy them online.

Great little unit!
Great little vacuum cleaner! Can't beat it!
No need to spend a small fortune on a Dyson, that's for sure!
Great for removing pet hair - it picks up dirt and eliminates everything out of the carpets including dust and dirt.
It's on of the best I've ever used! !

This thing sucks!
We have been using Target and Kmart vacuum cleaners for a long time and were always complaining how bad they are. We came across some positive reviews about Miele and decided to see if it works. And does it work!?
It is powerful enough to suck and hold a small chair! I was amazed at how powerful this machine is. It works smoothly.
The cleaning is super simple. The ease to maintain this vacuum cleaner is great. It also has a self-cleaning mechanism.

Alright, but it's no Dyson!
I was convinced to buy this vacuum cleaner after reading so many positive reviews online. In the past I have had Dysons, and I love them, but not the fact that they don't seem to last very long - after a few years, the machine loses power and stops performing well (I've had 3 in the last 10-12 years!). The Miele is an attempt to get a longer lasting product (fingers crossed), but so far I am not converted...
- It is heavy as others have stated - I'm getting used to it now but why do I have to drag so much weight around? I wouldn't recommen...Read more
d it for elderly people. - The wheels are small and get caught on the power lead- a lot! And the vacuum also seems to like moving sideways rather than ahead?!? I feel that I'm always pausing mid vacuum to straighten it out. - The power head works great but is bulky. When vacuuming under furniture with either head you have to lay the hose sideways and push it under on an angle otherwise it sits up and sucks up nothing! Also, you can't get into tight spaces - the Dysons hard floor head was great for this and I really miss it... - In it's favour though... it really gets the carpet clean! The motor is powerful and sucks up the smallest particles - you can hear them hitting the side of the vacuum cleaner even though you can't see them. And the amount of dust/dirt/fluff/hair that is sucked up after one vacuum has to be seen to be believed!Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Good appearance lacking power
The device looks slick and works well on hardwood surfaces. The suction power isn't as great as my Dyson v10+ with motorised head. I find it always leaves objects such as bits of wire or rocks behind when using the included wide head for hardwood floors. The cable could be a bit longer. The controls available at the handle make a nice addition to have ability to adjust suction for rugs or light materials.
Overall would love to see some improvements in next version. Not bad first attempt at bagless vacuum.

Great job on animal hair
We have two dogs and a cat and always have loads of their hair around the house up till we bought this vacuum a year or so ago. It sucks up most of the hair as it suggests it dose and is easy to empty and saves on having to go out and buy bags

Say Bye-Bye to Bag Inserts with The Miele CX1 Blizzard Fur Children Hair Buster
Easy to see when you sucked up a treasure.
Just flick and you have the brush at the end of the hose for delicate surfaces.
Four speeds no pet hair is safe with the CX1 Blizzard.
Great power cable retraction speed.
Miele simply Brilliant.

Perfectly competent product
Was looking around for a vacuum cleaner as the bedrooms are carpeted while the living room and dining are tiled.
Decided on a bagless one and after doing some research, decided to splurge on Miele CX1 (Cat & Dog series).
Very happy with its performance thus far, the Cat & Dog series comes with an attachment that cleans the carpeted area brilliantly; it's almost a perverse joy to look at how much dust/hair it picks up at the end of a cleaning session.
Not exactly lightweight, but the heft, to me, feels like a quality product. After all, ...Read more
it wouldn't feel good if it's light (and flimsy). Noise level acceptable. Might be a tad tricky to vacuum around the stairs though; then again this probably happens to all non-stick type of vacuum cleaners.1 comment

It is very good
I like it as the suction is great but it is quite heavy to move around and the other problem Is the hair seem to get caught in the head quite often which stops it from vacuumimg until u clear the hair out, not sure if this is a common problem for all vacuums otherwise i recommend

Can’t live without it
The vacuum works better than I could have imagined, it collects absolutely everything with total ease. We’ve gone from a house with floorboards and carpet to only floorboards and it’s been perfect in both houses. The unit moves around very easy and never gets caught anywhere or on anything. Love it

Not as good as my old bagged one
I loved my bagged Miele cat and dog vacuum but after 11 years it was time for a new one. The suction in the bagless one is ok but not as good as my old one. It is fairly quiet and easy to maneuver. The dust bin is large and easy to empty. The filters only need cleaning every six months and although they are easy to access I found this job to be time consuming and grubby. The small brush is attached to the telescopic wand and cannot be removed. This makes it impossible to use on high places. I bought this vacuum as I didn't want to keep having to buy bags but now wish I had stuck with a bagged one.

A lot of Pro's but beware a few potential deal-breakers
I'm a die-hard Miele traditional vac fan. This bagless version is a pretty good first-attempt and clearly a lot of thought and engineering has gone into the BLizzard CX1. But...
PRO's
- Great new turbo head design for carpets and pet Hair
- Easy to empty and clean dust bin, although as with other bagless cleaners it can be mess / counter-productive
- Sounds like a vacuum cleaner should - no jet engine screaming at you like a Dyson
- Relatively quiet at full power
- Excellent re-designed new main hose and telescopic wand.
- The brush attachment is built into the telescopic wand, I’ve found it handy.
- No more $25 boxes of 4 bags to purchase

A great vacuum
Thank you to Product Review and to the people that have left comments on this vacuum cleaner you are the reason I have just purchased it from Harvey Norman. The only complaint I have is the brush which is on the handle this makes it to short to reach higher areas

Questions & Answers
Peter W.asked
Can anyone tell me what’s wrong. After a few minutes the comfort light will go orange and make like a popping corn sound. The light will go off and work as normal. Then the comfort light will go red and reduce suction. How do you fix this issue? Thanks
Graham M.asked
Has anyone else had trouble with the cord not retracting? I have had my Miele CX 1 for less than a year and I am over the cord never retracting properly. I have to pull it out, press the button again over and over! Grrr. This should happen with a vacuum cleaner that cost a lot and less than a year old. Am I alone in this problem?

Jonathan Kasked
Can someone say if the design goal of being able to empty the vacuum without the clouds of dust actually works?
Also has anyone had problems with dust leaking out into the body behind the main dust cannister?
Thanks
Jonathan.

These vacum cleaners are rubbish and spare parts come from another supplier.
Not Miele.
Would never buy anything of this brand!!

Hi Joel, thanks but I don't have a CX1. I'm trying to decide if the CX1 is right for me. I'm a long time bagless user having a Dyson DC02 that's over 15 years old and still going strong, but I've become more concerned about dust exposure which is definitely a part of the Dyson experience.
I've seen some reviews where people complain about dust leaks - which is something that seems to be a failure in relation to HEPA status, as well as the design goals of minimizing/removing exposure to fine dust.
Jonathan.
