Blizzard CX1 TurboTeam

I use a Miele Blizzard CX1-cat and dog power line. It’s an amazing vacuum.

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.

I’ll second the Miele Turbo Team!

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.

This is probably a silly question and I promise I don't mean to be condescending asking it, but the filters on the blizzard are a bit hidden. You've found the compartment situated behind the dust container which contains the big round filter with folds right? That's the main thing which needs to be cleaned out. Just want to make sure theres not a quick fix to get it working a little better for you. Otherwise the other comments are correct, the bagged models are generally better. And I don't recommend the turbo brush head for any serious carpet cleaning, motorized heads are far better.
