About the Miele Blizzard CX1 Cat & Dog Bagless Vacuum

The Miele Blizzard CX1 Cat & Dog is a bagless canister vacuum. It uses a Mono-Cyclone Vortex multi-stage filtration system with a lifetime HEPA filter and a ComfortClean self-cleaning Gore CleanStream fine dust filter. Both filters need little maintenance. The fine dust filter is easy to remove, clean and replace if necessary.

A Miele-made 1,200-watt Vortex motor powers the vacuum. A four-setting suction control on the front of the canister lets you lower the power for delicate items like curtains or raise it for rugged carpet. It has a 33-foot cleaning radius and an automatic cord rewind.

The SEB 228 Electro Plus powerhead has several brush roll height settings for carpets from short to high pile. The SBB 300-3 Parquet Twister floorhead is for hardwood and other smooth floors, and for tight corners. The STB 101 Handheld Mini Turbobrush removes pet hair and dander from upholstery, carpeted stairs and car interiors.
