Miele - Boost CX1 Cat & Dog

Miele cyclone. Some friends had one and we looked after their house / dogs for a couple weeks. It is insanely good. I’ve had Henrys. They’re alright but they constantly fall over.

U svakom slučaju jedan bez kese. Isprobao sam jako puno njih i moram nažalost reći da bi opet uzeo Miele. Siemens zna imati jako dobre - vrlo tihe a snažne, ali većina njihovih su govno. Siemens Z 7.0 je predobar ali sa kesom nažalost. Ja imam Miele Boost CX1 ime mogu da se žalim.

This Miele Boost cat and dog is a great Bagless canister

The two “compact” offerings from Miele, which are engineered specifically for small homes with all hard flooring, include the Miele Compact C1 and Miele CX1 Boost. There is a like-new open-box Compact C1 on eBay right now for $299, but I would upgrade to the parquet twister floor head of which you can choose two widths - wide and extra wide. Seller: “Amber and Mika’s Store” …I almost bought it but decided to get a CX1 Boost, instead. I also have a V15, but man the floor head is so narrow. Feels like it takes forever to use it! Suction could be better, but it’s about the strongest cordless stick available, it and the Miele HX2.

I see the appeal of a stick. I have a V15. It’s about 3 yrs old. It’s primary role is for in-between cleans, small messes. Touch-ups. But, if I am going to vac our main living areas or the entire house, I can get the job done a lot faster with my Miele. If I am going to deep clean the carpet, I don’t pre-vac with my V15. I use my Kirby. If I am going to detail a vehicle, Miele. If I am going to use attachments for deep cleaning, Miele.

We’ve got a Miele Boost CX1 and it’s great (also survived being knocked down the stairs by the kids one time).

Overall, Miele's bagless vacuums are not as good as their bagged vacuums. Their bagless vacuums only have single cyclones so their filters tend to clog up with dirt faster. Also, bagless vacuums in general are not good for allergies and require more maintenance than bagged vacuums. There are 2 Miele CX1 vacuums, the smaller Boost CX1 which is suction-only and the larger Blizzard CX1 which comes as suction-only or with a carpet powerhead. If you have low to medium pile carpet in small amounts the suction-only models can use a turbo brush. The carpet powerhead is better if you have lots of carpet or high pile/plush carpets. You can add a turbo brush to any model but you cannot add a carpet powerhead to other models because they lack the wiring. If you don't have allergies and only minimal amounts of low pile carpets the Miele CX1 models will work for your flooring. But they're messy to empty and you'll need to clean their filters regularly. They are nice quiet vacuums with good suction. $200 is a good price for any of the Miele CX1 models, they sell new for $600-1000. If you don't have allergies I would use this vacuum until you get tired of it and then replace. Or if you have allergies or asthma just replace it now for a hepa bagged vacuum.

Whoops, I thought you already bought it. I'm glad you didn't, the bagless Mieles are messy vacuums. The Miele C1 Cat & Dog comes with a carpet powerhead and it is the best model to look for. Any time you can get the carpet powerhead it will clean carpets better. The C3 Kona and C3 Cat & Dog also come with the carpet powerhead and if you luck out and find them for a low price. The C3 is more expensive because it has a longer cord and a tool compartment, but they have the same cleaning power as the C1. If you just have a little low pile carpet you might be able to get by with a turbo brush. In that case any bagged C1, C2, or C3 Miele can use a turbo brush. I'd say look for the C1 Cat & Dog first, the C1 Turbo and C1 Pure Suction as second choices. Miele's turbo brush is $150 and it's worth it over the generic tools because Miele's turbo brush keeps spinning much better than the generic copies. The Miele C1 Pure Suction is $400 new, so ideally you want to find a used C1 Pure Suction $100-150. The Miele C1 Turbo is $500, so around $150-200 is fair. Used prices should be half or less than a new vacuum because you'll need to buy new bags and filters and it comes with no warranty. Another option is the Powr-Flite Newton with Turbo Brush $171. This is a copy-cat of the Henry vacuums. It has strong suction but it's quiet. The Turbo Brush is made by the same German company that makes the turbo brushes for Miele. The Newton uses large hepa bags and has a long 35 ft. cord. Downsides are there's no automatic cord rewinder and the 2 included small tools are cheap.

2 kid household with an australian shepherd here 👋🏽 We have the Miele C1 cats and dogs without bag and we are very happy. I like that you can take out the canister and filter parts to clean. The only downside is that you cant replace the HEPA filter… which might be a huge downside. We’ve had the vacuum cleaner for 4 years and works perfectly, doesnt stink like others did, and has held up to all the dirt and hair the dog brings. Nevertheless, we use it only to do the deep cleaning (2/month). We got a robot vacuum that does the daily or bi-daily vacuuming on hardwood floors (Dreame X40). And we dont have rugs because of the dog. So cant really talk about that part! Edit: the vacuum cleaner came with a normal and a rotating vacuum head that seems to be for carpets. Maybe a good thing? Havent tested it so cant say if it is efficient or not…

Yes, my mistake! CX1 cat&dogs

I have a bagless Miele canister vacuum that’s a year old now, and I wish I had bought the bagged version. The bagless has two filters that get dirty quickly and need to be washed.

“I like seeing the dirt in the canister, too! I bought a SEBO D4 and I guess it’s cleaning well…I don’t know..” I have a D4 as well. You don’t need a see-thru dust bin to see if dirt is being picked up. Just open the canister and look through the hole that takes in the dirt. I went through 3 bagless machines and then I saw the light and bought a Miele which lasted 15 years and just recently bought the SEBO. I use the hose to vacuum up bugs on the walls. I don’t want to see them inside a transparent dust bin. 😁. Yuck.

As a person who had a Miele for 15 years and just replaced it last week with a new SEBO D4 I love getting something brand new after using the same thing for many years. But with that being said, I would love my home to be equipped with central vacuuming. I honestly recommend simply replacing the motor in your central vacuum system. I think after 18 years under $400 for a replacement motor is really cheap.

I don’t have pets, but the Miele vac is what I have for 15 years and it worked perfectly for the full 15 years before it started showing its age. Never once broke down. Nothing ever got stuck in it. The Miele models of today are not as great unless you buy their mid tier or higher end. Today I’m using a SEBO and love it even more than the Miele.

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.
