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

Good but not quite perfect
I will start by saying that i am a little vacuum obsessed. Having a number of Miele and Dyson machines.
I think all of the Miele's have great build quality, much better than Dyson.
I also have the bagged cat and dog, but waited until I managed to get this at a great price as i do like bagless as you can see what you are getting out of your carpet. That sense of satisfaction for all your hard work cleaning up!
First off, I had an issue with the turbo head on this machine. It makes horrible screeching noises when it rolls on the carpet. I ...Read more
contacted Miele who straight away offered to replace under warranty, however they did replace with the old black turbo head rather than the new one. Pros - Great suction - Easy to empty and not messySimilar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Best I've ever had
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!
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
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
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
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.

A Must For EVERY Pet Owner!
This machine works absolute wonders! The Blizzard Cat & Dog is a sleek and compact unit that glides across any surface with ease, allowing you to get a fantastic deep clean every time. At the back of the vacuum sits the attachable upholstery and crevice nozzle, each in their own little compartments - a perfectionists dream! Our puppy barks at almost anything and he had absolutely no issues with the incredibly quiet Blizzard. The telescopic tube is ergonomic and easily twists to reach under the bed, couch and dining table and has a powerful suct...Read more

Good Vacuum cleaner overall but bagless canister design needs a bit more work
I have owed the vacuum cleaner for about 3 weeks, overall it's fairly good, here's the pro's and cons:
Pros
Quiet, this is the quietest vacuum cleaner I have ever owned
Good suction, works well on carpet and floating floor.
Easy to manoeuvre, the 4 small wheels roll fairly well, despite being a little weighty the wheels make it feel less so.
The hose fittings are good, its easy to remove the heads and adjust the height of the stick.
Cons
The bagless canister system feels a bit flimsy mine broke in only a few weeks, fortunately Miele cust...Read more

PUG OWNERS REJOICE
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!
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.
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
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.

Best vacuum ever!
Have a previous model of Meile which performed quite well but I really wanted bagless. Even though it's a bit more expensive than the bagged version I do belive it's worth it.
I ended up getting a good deal on this so purchased the power head to effectively give me the dog/cat version, plus I have the attachments from the old Meile that fit.
It's nice and quiet and easy to maneuver but I am not sure how it would go on stairs as it might be a little big but if I had stairs I would still get it anyway because it performs so well.

Loving my Miele
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.

It could have been a great vacuum...but...
I am a first time Miele user. This is a good vacuum, however, Miele in their shortsightedness decided NOT to provide an unattached brush so the user could then attach it to whatever part of the hose the user saw fit (for cobwebs, cleaning your car, skirting boards etc) instead they have a built in brush located near the top of hose...very poor design flaw. To makes things worse you cannot even buy one...they don't make one...I looked into it...not happy at all as this is an attachment that is widely used.
And
You may laugh but also in the...Read more
ir cost cutting exercise (or improved design!) they decided to make the width, yes the width of the cord thinner...the flow on effect from this is the vacuum rarely manages to easily pass over the cord so you are forever going back to lift the machine over the cord. Furthermore skinny cords means they get caught on things a lot (fridges) - so to save cents the company has not used sense. So the vacuum is good, but the companies greed to not include a unattached brush and not even manufacturing one is abysmal, you need to purchase another cheap plastic head attachment for hard floors and a skinny cord...this is supposed to be progress, once upon a time all these things came with $20 vacuum cleaners now you must pay, pay or we just don't have them...disgraceful...Similar opinion?

Great Bagless
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.

Great suction power! Step aside Dyson. Although a few niggles
After having (a housemates) Dyson DC35 stick vacuum, with woeful suction, poor filtration, and a pathetic run time, I was shocked at what was pulled out of the carpet. After one bedroom, I needed to empty the dust container! The Turbo nozzle is great at lifting the carpet pile, and lifting cat fur, threads, etc. There is also a standard 'Allteq' floor head included. The suction is outstanding, with no noticable loss of suction (take that overhyped and over priced Dyson!) with an rotary suction control on the machine.
My current house is 2 le...Read more
vels. Downstairs is completely tiles, apart from a couple of mats. The stairs and upstairs, all carpet except for the bathrooms. The carpet is quite a magnet for everything, it's cheap and nasty. It's a rental property, I certainly didn't pick the carpet! This is where that Turbo nozzle comes in to get everything out of the cut pile. The vacuum is easy to manoeuvre. However, unlike most of Miele's bagged range, there is no bumper strip as such, so you need to be careful when pulling the vacuum along. The noise level is hushed, but not as quiet as the Miele Complete C3 Hard Floor I had previously (I had to leave it behind when I moved from NZ). Probably due to the actual design of the machine, being bagless with a 'vortex,' etc. The dust container is easy to empty, and the Comfort Clean feature is great. It will activate automatically, or you can activate it manually, especially after vacuuming a large amount of dust at once. Essentially what it does it rotates little ribs on the inside of the pleated fine dust filter against it, flicking the dust out of the filter and into the bottom of the filter housing. A brilliant idea, as it cleans and unblocks the filter, without you getting exposed to dust. Once or twice a year this filter and housing needs rinsing out and drying for 24 hours Now the niggles of the machine so far.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

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, 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
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!

Questions & Answers
helencernochasked
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?
5 answers
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.

Susan Hasked
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
