I use a Miele Blizzard CX1-cat and dog power line. It’s an amazing vacuum.
Yeah, my Blizzard CX1 Cat & Dog is amazing. Dealt with my husky of a girlfriend without fear or trepidation. I love it.
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.
The canister is not noticeable at all. Like at all. Its in the main body on the floor and the wand is high quality. Floor unit is the same size and weight as any bag type unit. Empty canister and clean filter in 5 seconds at trash can. Best vacuum ive ever owned. On year 9 with kids dog and cats, works as good as day one. Got the pet specific model would buy again but probably won't need to for another decade.
Meile cat and dog c1x blizzard. Bought equivalent meile 9 years ago and it works sooooo well. Canister means no bag purchases, easy to clean, powerful suction. Before this we had many vacuums including Bosch and Dyson etc.. all were disappointing. Meile makes good vacs, wish id spent the money on a real vacuum way earlier but im glad i finally did. Would buy again but probably won't need to for another decade at least since it works as good as when I bought it.
I had a miele because my parents had one of over 20 years. Mine (blizzard cx1) however barely made it to 5. Had to disassemble and clean the head so often, then had to buy a replacement one. The plastic bit on the handle broke off. The engine and suction power is great, the hardware is inferior. It was one of the most disappointing purchases of my life.
I used to have the miele cx1 and while it is absolutely fantastic, the plastic parts are a let down. Now we have shark navigator and while bulky, it is incredible. So much suction power, big canister, lightweight and easy to manoeuvre.
They do but most do not recommend. Cx1 blizzard and I think some compact version of that as well.
Agreed, no to the CX line. Miele tried, they did okay, still not as good as the C line.
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?
I have the Miele Blizzard CX1, I bought it 7 years ago on sale and it has been fantastic. I had tried a bagged Miele and it was amazing, so I was weighing up whether I wanted to go that route but I was worried about sourcing bags so I went with this instead. I had tried a friend's Dyson before buying this and was not impressed so I'm very happy I went with a Miele.
