Verdict

The Miele Blizzard CX1 Cat & Dog is a powerful and efficient vacuum cleaner that comes with an electric power head. It is highly energy-efficient and incredibly quiet, making it ideal for apartment living. It has been praised for its ability to clean carpets effectively and its long-lasting performance. However, some customers have reported that the rollerbrush and housing need to be replaced frequently.

Verdict

The Kenmore 22614 is a lightweight and powerful vacuum cleaner that is great for hard floors. It has strong suction power and can easily pick up hair, cat fur, and cat litter. However, the on/off switch is poorly designed and difficult to use, and the turbine unit accessory is of low quality. Additionally, the body shape makes it difficult to steer around corners.

Reviews by Topic

Our analysis shows how reviewers feel about different topics. Please note these are not full reviews.

Suction

Not overly impressed

We’ve had over a year and while nothing has had to be replaced, it doesn’t seem to like Rottweiler hair. There’s always hair still on the floors (LVP and tile). It has good suction when you feel it but it just seem to get all the hair and tends to just push it away no matter what setting I choose. For reference, I do have multiple kids and multiple dogs though

Handle keeps disconnecting!

This little vacuum cleaner has great suction for hard floors and gets up hair, cat fur and cat litter. It is light weight. I don't use it on carpet. The handle and wand connection is non-existent! There is no latch to keep the handle in

Cleaning Performance

This is a GREAT vacuum, but I can’t recommend it...

‘Filter cone’. This is a coarse pre-filter which, if it clogs, will definitely cut down the suction power of the vac. Accessing it requires removing the main dust receptacle, then pulling a handle which releases the filter cone, which lives in the dustbin. After vacuuming my house one time (one medium-sized dog on premises), this ‘filter cone’ was wrapped with dog hair and definitely needed cleaning

Tile floors, it will pull up hair and dirt, but it still leaves some behind pretty regularly and I have to go over spots several times to get all hair and occasional bits of cereal or snacks off the floor (life with a toddler and dogs). All in all, I think this would be ok for occasional light cleaning on hard surface floors only or very low pile rugs, but I'd go something with more power if you have pets that shed, carpeting, or vacuum larger areas regularly.

Miele Bagless CX1 Blizzard Cat & Dog Vacuum Review - Vacuum Warehouse Canada

As a matter of fact, it comes with Mila's bestbear floor tool, which is what we call a parquet twister. It does come with an electric power head. This...

Positive

Okay Unit, Poor Accessories

This could have easily been avoided by making the belt guide housing out of plastic that's thicker than a rubber band. I could 3D print a plastic piece a million times stronger than what's in it and fix the problem, if I had a 3D printer and the knowledge on how to use it. But I don't, so the turbine unit is broken because the suction of the vacuum crushed the flimsy belt guide. Completely unacceptable

Power

Not sure it is worth the money

I was used to the power button on my Kenmore which was on the handle. Super convenient for turning on and off during jobs. Not this one. It’s on the canister

Pet friendly Bagless Kenmore canister vacuum

The cons are The power cord is very short so you find yourself unplugging and replugging the vacuum way too often. The hose is also short and made of a stiff plastic which gets in the way of being able to maneuver easily. Attachment quality is poor and other kenmore attachments do not fit. Overall, I think this would be good for a camper or small apartment and not relied on as a primary vacuum for the whole house

Ease Of Use

Perfection! My review will compare this to Miele Triflex and Miele C1 Canister

Thankfully, Amazon agreed to give me a full refund, and in its place I bought this CX1. Unlike the Triflex, there was no learning curve..

Great Vaccuum for Hard Surface Floors

What prompted me to buy a canister again is our Shark, while a great vacuum, is not the best design for hard surface flooring. I was tired of it falling over instead of remaining upright and its heavy to lift and carry around. This Kenmore works great on hard surface floors and is super easy to empty. I also love the telescoping wand that is so easy on my back and use all the time, not just for hard to reach areas

Design

The best Vacuum I have ever owned, also the most expensive I have ever purchased

It is quiet, it moves effortlessly, it is very light for a corded machine. The design is very artistic making it lovely to look at when stored somewhere. It is bagless. This has to be the greatest consumer vacuum on the market

Good vacuum, but...

Also, cleaning out the bagless chamber is a very very dirty job. A better design would help with that as well. Very disappointing because I have used the Kenmore vacuums for a long time, but I think this will be my last one.

Filtration

If you have allergies, buy this vacuum.

No dust comes out of the Miele's exhaust. The canister opens more than 90 degrees, and the opening is large, so emptying is not a mess. The extra dust filter makes a huge difference. if you didn't know, it has a fine dust filter that contains the smaller dust particles and can be emptied wet so it doesn't become airborne

Nice little vacuum for basic use

There’s also a lever that you slide (side to side) to clean off the filter which is helpful but I’ll see how well that holds up over time. I have a small house with no pets currently and there’s only two of us so it suits my needs
