You might want to have it serviced. They will clean the inside of the machine and you will be all set!

Mine too I give it a slap....

Mine does also I have the c2 if your hoovering rugs put the brush on high,just check the bag regularly I always remove the dust cap on the bags as on 2 occasions I’ve picked stuff up and the bag blocked on the round bag seal, if you put your hand over the nozzle the red warning sign comes on nowt to worry about

You can’t deep clean it the hepa filter is screwed and glued into a part that sits in the body of the machine! See my comment. I hate this, other then that they are great:(

Oh My God!!! I am furious with Miele, I’ve just discovered that the hepa filter sits inside the machine, that you can’t take out because it’s on top of the motor! They are $280 (au) to replace (only the price of the whole replacement unit not including paying someone to fix it) so that when, after a couple of years of use, you have to throw the stinking thing away because they don’t make it so it is easily replaced! Stinks!

There isn’t a way to clean it without damaging it. The only option is to replace it, and it is expensive. Both the premotor and exhaust filters are expensive on the Blizzard. They are much less expensive in the other Miele models, including the Boost. If the Boost had an electric power nozzle, I would have bought it. The Miele C3 is a superior machine and maintains suction whereas my Blizzard lost its suction, noticeably, and I could not get it back without replacing both filters.

If you are inclined to replace the exhaust filter, you can buy it on the Miele website. You can find step-by-step tutorials on how to disassemble the motor unit to the point you can replace the exhaust filter. I sold my Blizzard a long time ago and now I mainly use my Miele C3. It is much less expensive to maintain, has way more suction, and is easier to maintain. US part numbers for my Miele Blizzard’s pre-motor filter and HEPA exhaust filter are as follows, taken from the online Miele spare parts catalog. HEPA-13 EXHAUST FILTER: 9739495 | Air shield HEPA-Lifetime H13 | $139.36 WASHABLE PRE-MOTOR FILTER: 907998 | Fine Dust Cartridge Assy | $109.64 To find the online spare parts catalog, go to MieleUSA website > support > spare parts > scroll down to “full spare parts catalog” > enter model number or keyword Blizzard CX1 > click on diagram “060 Fan Cable Reel” For now, here is a link to the US-spec Miele Blizzard CX1 Cat & Dog: www4.miele.de/msd/MSD#/device/47329/dashboard

Bagged, but part of that is because I haven’t found a bagless that checks out all the way.

@@Cleaning_Hero I totally agree and its just a preference.

@@ilrimpianto I think there will be one day a bagless I will really love. I actually liked the CX1 Boost but it isn’t available with a power nozzle. I’ve learned that pre-motor and exhaust filters clog very fast on bagless vacs that rely on once cyclone. However, the filters on the Boost are easy to access. They don’t require disassembling the machine, and are much less expensive to purchase. The system seals on the Boost were of a better design. I guess my Rainbow is the closest thing I have to a bagless vacuum that I own and feel comfortable recommending to the right person. There isn’t a vacuum that is perfect, or for everyone. I think the Miele C3 is a close contender.

Hi. You say in your one video that you blow out the filter of the Miele and the Dyson take days to dry... I have a as-seen-on-tv bagless and the filter also takes 24 hours to dry. With a bag they tend to smell

Thank you for the kind words. Removing it makes cleaning the dust bin much easier.

I’m not sure what you mean by black fabric. The fabric filter in the video is white. The other filters are mesh screens.

I disagree, but if you want an Electrolux, you can still buy them under the Aerus name. They still make the classic model and two other canister models. www.aerusvacuums.com/Site/Canisters I prefer the C3’s ergonomics and comfort features, higher suction, sealed H13 filter system, cloth bags, and the additional adjustments that allow me to fine-tune it to the surface being cleaned. If you want to buy a brand new Aerus, they still have to be purchased from Aerus dealers. Consider the “Perfect” brand as well, which sells the same machines. The top-of-the-line Aerus Lux Guardian Platinum canister is not made by Aerus like the other two. They still have to be purchased from an Aerus dealer if you buy new, but there are many rebuilt units available online. Good day.
