I must say I felt conflicted when Miele announced their first bagless vacuum cleaner earlier this year. After all, Miele build their reputation as one of the world's top vacuum cleaner manufacturers for the past century, spruiking the benefits, indeed the necessity, of making a bag an integral part...

The Blizzard CX1 is Miele's first bagless cleaner range. Having been a staunch proponent of bagged cleaners for years – and it still is – Miele has now thrown down the gauntlet and lot of R&D dollars to offer a bagless option. It's a stunner, too.

Outstanding hard-floor cleaning; Serious suction and air-flow; Excellent tool design; Low-maintenance filter; Large; easy to empty bin; Glides on its rollers; Nicely quiet

Heavy for stairs; Struggled with pet hairs on carpet; Cable could be longer

Firstly it's a great looking vacuum cleaner - very stylish! It's compact, but doesn't miss out any features to attain this. Some great features - especially having the power level controls on the handle as well as on the main body of the machine.

These really are the best, quite, easy to use and very powerful, the wife can't push it on full power! good job you can control the suction level from the handle, this is a replacement for my 22 year old "Bagged" Miele which is still going strong but relegated to car cleaning duties

Really love my Miele vacuum. It cleans so well, and i'm really amazed at how full the canister is even when I thought my house is quite clean. Favourite feature is that I can turn the vacuum off and on and change the suction level on the handle. Really easy to empty the canister as well.

It's been few weeks I bought it but I am not happy just wasted my money

Super suction; well thought through design; dust bin is easy to empty / clean

Is quite expensive

Super happy with the adjustable suction settings. Perfect for any situation.
