Our take on the Miele Guard L1 Cat and Dog Bagged Canister Vacuum

The Guard L1 Cat and Dog is Miele's bagged canister vacuum aimed at homes with pets. It pairs a 1,200 W PowerLine motor with a HEPA AirClean filter and a dedicated pet hair tool, and adds footswitch power control plus an LCD display. Owners rate it highly for deep carpet cleaning and hair pickup, and Miele bags keep dust handling clean. Against bagless rivals it needs bags and is heavier at 15 lbs, but it filters better and holds suction as the bag fills.
