Miele Blizzard CX1 Cat and Dog, Black, Bagless Cylinder Vacuum Cleaner, Corded, 11696410, Obsidian Black

Product Information

This model also comes with the biggest hard-floor head we’ve ever seen. The Miele Parquet Twister XL is a proper whopper at over 40cm wide and is designed for smoother hard floors such as laminates, lino, vinyl tiles and parquet.

The CX1 Comfort PowerLine received a solid “paws up” from the canine contingent here, too, thanks to its very low noise. We managed to clean right up to our Collie without disturbing her from a daytime snooze… It very effectively cleaned up a pile of spilled oats in a single sweep, giving it a perfect hard-floor test result in its own right. We ran the same test for our star Twister XL head and the results were just as good – only with wider coverage in a single sweep. Excellent. It’s the Blizzard CX1, that’s got the most power and best suction of any of the models. Which sub-model you go for won’t affect the power, but that’s the most powerful. If the Cat & Dog edges into the lead on stairs, it charged way out in front on pet hair cleaning duties – particularly on carpeted floors. The Cat & Dog head is purpose-built for digging out fur balls and pet hairs entwined into the pile, and the CX1’s super-suction does a great job of transferring them into the bin. The Comfort PowerLine is supplied with outstanding tools for hard floors in particular, and is very easy to empty and keep clean. It’s rather heavy for stair climbing and it struggled with pet hairs on carpets, but Miele does offer a dedicated Cat & Dog pet-centric version of the CX1 too.

My top choice for the best Miele Vacuum Cleaner, the Blizzard CX1 powerline Bagless vacuum cleaner.

On an inexpensive rug in the lounge, our two canine assistants did a fine job of scruffling a solid layer of hair into the pile. The mix of short, chunky Labrador hairs and longer, finer Collie hairs create a good test – but proved no match for the CX1 Cat & Dog. The Total Solution Allergy has the best air filter with the all-powerful HEPA filter. It also has a parquet head which is great for delicate floors such as laminate or stone because it’s got softer bristles. But unfortunately, this model is no longer for sale. The EU brought in new regulations limiting vacuum cleaners to a power of less than 900 w to increase energy efficiency.

So if you’re looking for a canister vacuum it’s Miele every time but if you want an upright then go with Shark. If you’re looking for a product that completely removes your involvement in the daily clean up after your dog, iRobot’s Roomba s9+ is certainly a time-efficient option. Simply pulling the CX1 Comfort PowerLine around is quite an unusual experience; the smooth rolling rubber wheels make it glide silently over hard floors.
