Miele 12034070 Blizzard CX1 Cat & Dog Bagless Cylinder Vacuum Cleaner with Turbo Brush for Pet Hair, EcoTeQ Floorhead, HEPA Lifetime Filter, Large Operating Radius, Mango Red

Product Information

hard floor head has high friction and does not glide smoothly across the floor, but kind of grinds its way across (better on tiles, terrible on lino planks) Unusually, the CX1’s cyclone is at right angles to the main bin, which we’ve found neatly stops balls of pet hair becoming caught around the gauze filter. Pop open the bin’s vast bomb-door like panel at the bottom and the contents all drop out with ease. The only place it doesn’t hold up is on furniture, it does an OK job and has a crevice tool to get into it but if you want to clean the furniture you’ll want the cat & dog powerline model.

When AirClean filters are combined with Miele HyClean vacuum bags and the motor protection filter, over 99.9% of fine dust and other particulates are removed from the air – resulting in air even cleaner than it was pre-vacuum. No air relief valve - yes that old simple hole in the handle that reduces suction - which is fantastic on carpet but its a bicep workout moving the head around - giving my wife the excuse she needs to ensure the vacuuming is on my to-do list....This is the latest and greatest of pretty much any robot vacuum cleaner, brand new technology allows for a more thorough cleaning of your house. The EU brought in new regulations limiting vacuum cleaners to a power of less than 900 w to increase energy efficiency.

The CX1 Cat & Dog has no shortage of tools and accessories. It adds the Cat & Dog floorhead to the Excellence model’s tool roster and misses only the giant Parquet head and electronic control handle from the flagship Comfort model. The CX1’s curved handle allows the hose to exit underneath and rotate. Both features are designed to reduce wrist strain. It’s fitted with a good-sized, pull-down dusting brush. It’s a neat design, but the integration into the handle does mean the brush can’t be used with the tubes for long-distance dusting. For that you’ll need to use either the crevice tool or the small upholstery brush, both of which are stored on the rear end of the cleaner’s body. Atop your vacuum cleaner dust bag compartment is a colour changing indicator that shows when your bag is ready to be replaced. This means less waste and no more removing dustbags unnecessarily. When it does come time to remove the bag, you can breathe easy thanks to Miele’s auto closing technology. Meanwhile, Miele AirClean filters are equipped with a TimeStrip that slowly changes colour as the filter becomes more saturated. Once the strip is completely red, it is time for a replacement. Ensure a perfect cleaning performance and save money by never discarding a filter too early again.The Silence AirClean filter acts as a silencer for your vacuum, muffling motor and suction noises as you clean. Hugely beneficial if one or more household members work from home or if you have pets/children sensitive to loud noises. The CX1 Cat & Dog certainly lives up to its name and is a superb performer for pet-centric homes. Perhaps in an ideal world we’d have liked a second, smaller air-powered turbo brush tool for pet beds and the sofa – Miele’s own Turbo mini tool, for example – but that’s a minor omission against otherwise excellent cleaning results for homes with pets. Shark make upright vacuums mainly so again have better performance than most of the Miele’s but comparable with the Blizzard CX1.
