For an expensive vacuum I was expecting better. The part where the hose meets the body is always separating and does not seem to latch properly. I also wish there was a better place to store the different attachment heads. Works well but I have notes. Read more

I have the yellow meile at one house and bought this as a summer house one. It is good enough but not like my yellow one. Read more

The miele boost cx1 ticked all the boxes for me: lightweight, good suction, quiet, bagless with easily emptied dust container. Unfortunately, the hose was a deal breaker. It just won't stay attached to the vacuum cleaner!! I have a wide assortment of vacuums and have never had this issue with any other brand. I tried calling Miele first but the number options your supposed to select didn't work and it just repeated menu over and over. Called Amazon and they said return it which meant another half hour to re-box it and and 45 minutes trip to town to take it to UPS. Surely product control at Miele must've known of the hose issue. I have a cheapy bagless Kenmore I paid $60 for and the hose is muchhhh sturdier! So disappointed ☹️ Read more

This is a nice little vacuum. I just got it, so will have to wait and see how it holds up over time, but Miele has a good reputation so hopefully it will last. Something to be aware of: Not all models come with a HEPA filter (contrary to what "Rufus" said when I asked). The more expensive 'Parquet' and 'Cat & Dog' models have a HEPA filter but the less expensive regular model does not. However, you can buy a HEPA filter separately and use it in the regular model. After using the vacuum for the first time, here's what I found: Pros: - Vacuum is small, light, and maneuverable - Suction is powerful but is also adjustable - Dust canister is easy to empty, though there was fine dust coating it after being emptied -- wiped it out with a damp paper towel - Floor attachment switches from carpet to bare floor setting with a foot switch -- works really well on large/wall-to-wall carpets and on bare floors Cons: - The smaller attachments are separate and are not stowed in/with the vacuum. I have to use the upholstery attachment a lot due to bad dust allergies and there's no easy way to bring it with me as I move around the house. - Floor attachment is larger than usual making it impossible to get into tight spaces -- e.g. you have to switch to a different attachment to clean behind the toilet. - On small rugs you can only really push the floor brush forward, even on the carpet setting. Trying to move back or sideways just moves the carpet. - Even with carpet setting and reduced suction it was very difficult to clean my bathroom mats -- brush was hard to move (even pushing forward) and kept getting stuck to mat and pulling it up.

I have been looking for something with exceptional power/suction (because I’m used to central vac) and several different vacs have left me completely disappointed. This little guy is amazing. It picks up after two labs, is light and easy to maneuver. It’s not central vac, but the suction/power is as close as it gets! Read more
