"And while being just as if not more powerful than every other vacuum I've ever had it is quiet even at its maximum level. ... I can easily maintain a conversation without having to shout."
"Just on the noise alone I hate using my parent's Dyson and use their Miele instead."

"The other head without the spinner is fucking ridiculously strong. ... I cannot vacuum a rug with it because it sucks so hard. I have to hold one side down with my foot and pull away and it's still hard haha."
"3 dog's and 3 cats with all carpet. ... that thing fuckin rips. ... it works too good and everytime I use it I have to take scissors and cut the hair that's caught around the head in the brushes but it's not the vacuums fault I have a fucking hobby farm on a carpet sooo."
"Miele! We have 9 cats and a dog. ... It cleans up pet messes"

"The C3 has a complete sealed system which is better than C1 if you have issues with allergies."
"The HEPA filter is easy to clean thanks to the little flicker dial thing I just pull it out hold it over the trash and go to town on that until the chunks stop coming out and when it gets too bad for that it's a washable filter."
"I actually don’t see bagless as a positive. They objectively release a lot of contaminant’s into the air when emptying. ... With a good bagged vacuum, the bag helps filter the air and the bags last a long time."

"price of replacement parts is a huge reason i recommend sebo vacuums. ... every time i have to look up a part for a miele vacuum i already know it ’s going to cost 3x-4x what it should."
"it also doesn't require bags that are several dollars each, and again, most importantly, makes vacuuming a LOT easier."
"my mom has probably spent thousands on bags"

"The cheapest ones don't even have a powered head for carpet so they're not good at that."

"I'll be damned if I'm going to drag that thing up and down three floors regularly."

I have this one and honestly it’s insanely good. https://www.betta.com.au/miele-blizzard-cx1-cat-dog-bagless-vacuum-cleaner-autumn-red-1100w-706446?gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21755795433&gclid=Cj0KCQjwxL7GBhDXARIsAGOcmIOf7cyQztqDPH6rnHsU6eqtWSCqvJ-kqpRSh1pOwGep094GYuaGNuAaAny0EALw_wcB
r/dogs • Best vacuum for pet hair? ->Definitely check out the Miele brand which others have suggested. Soooooooo easy to use and mine has a dedicated furniture cleaning tool included, so I do my couch, bed base and the 2 cat trees.
r/dogs • Best vacuum for pet hair? ->The one I linked also is bagless, although it is corded. I’m sure they have a couple of options. I also used Afterpay to pay in instalments, which just made it nicer hahaha.
r/dogs • Best vacuum for pet hair? ->My first "adult" purchase was a Miele Blizzard CX1 Homecare. It was ~$1,000 USD about 8 years ago. I used to think Dyson was the king of vacuums, but Miele is on a different level.
r/CleaningTips • When you get a new vacuum and are shocked by the results. ->Yeah, my Blizzard CX1 Cat & Dog is amazing. Dealt with my husky of a girlfriend without fear or trepidation. I love it.
r/australia • Vacuum Recommendations? ->Hahahahaha. Yeah - this. Though I would definitely not say any of it was bad. It's just that hair past her ass was not vacuum friendly, but the CX1 handled it like a champ.
r/australia • Vacuum Recommendations? ->You turn off the power head from the handle on a Miele Not the suction control but realistically few have it on other than max, even if you are not supposed to
r/VacuumCleaners • [REVIEW] Miele Vacuums are a joke ->I actually think a Miele blizzard cat and dog may work well, I know recommending a bag less on here will get you crucified but my brother has one and they’re not gentle with it yet it still works great. If you have a lot of hair and solids to vacuum up you will fill up the bags rather quickly , though you will probably have to empty the bag less every time you vacuum
r/VacuumCleaners • Recommendations for farm life vacuum ->I have a Meile cat and dog hepa vacuum. More pricey than most but I’ve had it about six years now and it runs just as well today. Worth it.
r/CatAdvice • Can someone recommend me some a good vacuum to buy that can actually handle my 3 cats hair?! ->Get a George and you can clean carpets too. Proper bagged with Hepa filters and it does the job. Great for emergencies too as it works as a wet vac. Just for reference I have a Miele Blizzard and a Roomba too. If you want something slightly less industrial, the Miele.
r/HENRYUKLifestyle • Vacuum cleaner recommendations ->They do but most do not recommend. Cx1 blizzard and I think some compact version of that as well.
r/VacuumCleaners • Whatever you do - never buy a Dyson ->Any Miele will deal with fur, the cat dog is just a power head and their air clean filter which has carbon which helps with the animal smell. Otherwise, the C3 Kona (comes with HEPA filter instead of carbon filter) will be just fine for you. The C3 has a complete sealed system which is better than C1 if you have issues with allergies. Also, remember, you buy a Miele or Sebo…you’ll never buy a vacuum again. Any Miele is good though and most importantly, lightweight!
r/VacuumCleaners • Help me pick a bagged canister vacuum ->Agreed, no to the CX line. Miele tried, they did okay, still not as good as the C line.
r/VacuumCleaners • So Overwhelmed - Best for Hard Floors/Cat Litter? ->Second this. Robot Vacuums have come along way but hair is hair is hair. If you’ve got long hair, even the best of the best full size vacs will struggle, especially on carpet. Miele for the win.
r/VacuumCleaners • Vacuum vs Robot Cleaner: Which Should We Get? ->Highly recommend the pet vacuums from Miele. I have the Blizzard CX1 model and have been using it almost every day for my cleaning business for the last 4 years. It's taken dings and bruises and some plastic bits of the canister are prone to falling off, but it's never given me any problems. Consistent suction, and it's great for dealing with all the hair. One client of mine owns 4 corgis who shed like mad. I have to empty the canister twice per visit, but it never bogs down.
r/BuyItForLife • Best Vacuum for Pets ->Same, I'm obsessed with mine and it handles the hair from my dogs like it's nothing. Thing could suck the paint off the walls if I were so inclined. Maybe OP's one is clogged or faulty?
r/australia • Vacuum Recommendations? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
