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

Best I've ever had

published

This German made vacuum cleaner is fantastic. Quality all the way from the design to performance. Don't be fooled by its modest 1100W power. This machine really sucks (in a positive way). And it that was not enough it has a turbo brush included in the package. It's much quieter and stronger than my previous 2400W cleaner. Currently on special at Harvey Norman (and I suppose other retailers) for $499.00.

Best Vacuum!

published

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

What Miele should have produced years ago

published

This vacuum is fantastic. We have a museum of vacuum cleaners from Dyson to Miele.
I would say the suction is Inbetween our old Miele which kept cutting out and was next to useless to use properly and the Dyson

The build quality is better than the Dyson and it is really easy to move around. Great accessories as well.

Excellent

published

I researched vacuums because I was disappointed in the previous owned ones. The cat and dog does both hard and carpet. Its suction is outstanding. The rollers make it easier to pull around behind you. Heavier then others, but very easy to clean.
Suction - excellent
Performance - excellent
Noise - moderate
Maneuverability - very good
Downside
Changing heads - I have arthritis in my hands and find it extremely difficult to change from hard floor to soft. This is something that needs to be addressed, but over all a great cleaner.
After researching price, I got mine for nearly 250.00 cheaper from Betta Electric. I took their price to the local Betta store and got it for that price.

Great machine

published

Bought this machine when my Dyson broke, I didn't like my Dyson so knew I needed something better. This machine has great suction, easy to use & very quiet. We have very thick pile carpet which this goes over easily. I found it fairly easy to move around except when the cord gets caught under the wheels. Like the way the vacuum has a holder for the handle to store when not in use.

PUG OWNERS REJOICE

published

Super sturdy light weight and reliable. Great quality is guaranteed. Does not overheat or is too noisy. I have the Dog and Cat model and own a Pug - any Pug owner will understand what I mean and how important a good vacuum cleaner is and this does the job well! My only grief is the ridiculous price of its bags, $25 for 4 + 2 filters.

Awesome machine with constant suction!

published

Awesome little unit, not too heavy but not light either! She'll get the job done only downside is when emptying the cylinder as it can get a little messy so be sure to empty the unit outside of the house!

Also of note make sure you constantly empty / clean the machine for optimal performance :)

Good value for money.

published

Very good with suction power. Can clean up everything nicely. Reasonably good to handle. 20 bucks 0 square meters. Only problem is bit noisy and bit heavy. Otherwise i am very happy with the product. No issues whatsoever. Highly recommend. One of the best product I have ever bought. Very happy indeed.

Very good vacuum

published

Bought this one because my dyson v6 can't move on long pile carpet. This vacuum is very powerful and can adjust suction level. The bagless design is great. Very easy to open and undo to clean it. It comes with 2 main head. Can clean both hard floor and carpet very well.

Loving my Miele

published

Always had a Miele Bagged Vac but this new model is amazing.
Really enjoying the cleaning power which is the cat and dog head. This has really lifted the carpet and a true test is when you see carpet lines appearing after i have cleaned.
I once had an inbuilt and this is 5 times the suction... amazing difference.
Having the accessories on the unit is also handy and convenient.

Great Bagless

published

Having read the reviews I was hesitant to buy the Miele.Saw it on special and took the plunge.All I can say is WOW. It is not hard to push,and I mainly have carpet in my house.
It has sucked up so much dust my old vacuum left behind and found the setting no problem. Dust canister is easy to empty.All in all am very satisfied.

Wow!

published

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

The Best bagless Vacuum right now

published

This vacuum is so easy to use very powerful suction, super quite even on the highest setting and the wheels just glide smoothly on the floor. Wish I bought the higher model with the remote on the handle. I cant believe we overlooked this for Dyson at first. But after returning to Harvey Norman TWICE to replace the straight out of box broken dyson vacuums ( wheels fallen off) we decided to go with Miele. I am very happy with this purchase! You will never regret it!

Blizzard CX1

Hello.
I have recently bought this vacuum cleaner but I keep getting dust leaking from behind the canister whenever I store it upright.
I have cleaned the filters and emptied the canister and it still happens.
It’s becoming quite annoying - does anyone else have this problem?

Sorry I don't store it upright and I clean the canister out after each use. Perhaps it is not seated correctly(the cannister/collector).

The canister is definitely locked in correctly so it’s not that.
Also, I have to store it upright as that’s the only way I can fit it in my cupboard.
It shouldn’t be doing this though.

The ComfortClean "feature" seems to be malfunctioning. It turns off every 5mins and makes a loud popping /clunking sound. The filters and hose are not blocked. The turbo brush is also a pain to clean as it doesn't come apart like previous models. We bought this one as we have had a previous bagged one for about 15 years. But now we have to resort to using the old one. Looks like a trip to Miele is needed.

Blizzard CX1

I have just received one, brand new in the box. We are unable to easily slide the small brush up and down on the handle to be able to use. Once we got it down we are unable to get it to slide back. The machine was bought for an older person and if it doesn't move with little effort then the machine is not fit for purpose. Is there a tip to do so or is this a fault? Brute force is not an option!! Thanks
