Boost CX1 Cat & Dog Obsidian black (SNCE0)

Miele Boost CX1 Cat & Dog! My dogs (not goldens) are 16 and 17, so I’ve bought and tried everything under the sun over the years. Miele is by far the best.

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.

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

First, I will tell you they are NOT cheap for most of them. A shark is going to cost you $100-120, a Miele may cost $300-1,000. You DO NOT need any of the high end ones unless you’ve got a **massive** house. Second I will add, that Miele vacuum is going to last you 10+ years if you do upkeep if you buy the canister one which is the easiest to maintain. I’d say upkeep on them is maybe 10% of the effort of a bagless one. With bags it quite seriously contains everything within, you mainly rinse out the vacuum hose and wipe down the inside - then the main routine part is cleaning the bristles and what not. To remove fur tangled in bristles, take a box cutter knife and run it down the middle slowly cutting off fur that is wrapped around it (only any vacuum). Also note that these vacuums are going to be bigger than an upright one if you go with the canister. As far as specific ones, Kenmore is going to be cheapest and most efficient for the canister vacuum, around $200-300. Kenmore Elite Pet Friendly CrossOver 21814, Kenmore 200 Series BC4002. For Miele, Guard M1 Cat & Dog which is around $500. With all being said, the bagless miele’s are still great and around $350. The one you’d want to explore more is Boost CX1 SNRD0 - it’s $300-400. If you prefer an upright, which is still way better than a stick vacuum, a Kenmore Elite Pet Friendly 31150 is about $200 and will be great. Also, your current one may have gunk in the tub or chamber which is why the fluff is clogging. You may want to try cleaning your vacuum first unless the motor was running too hard / it’s old.

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
