Miele Boost CX1 Cat & Dog Vacuum Cleaner Unboxing & First Look

[@mrt2mrt2]

Excellent review - content and presentation are first class. You are the Rolls Royce of vacuum reviewers. Stay safe and keep up the good work which is much appreciated by all of your many subscribers.

[@bloodlettinggo7109]

thank you for speaking very well articulated English! My English is bad and this is the first video about a vacuum cleaner in English, that I have understood:)

[@carloo69]

Thank you for this video. My partner put our vacuum together, and today as i was vacuuming, the hose kept coming loose... After watching this video (we've thrown away the manual), i realised the hose was connected back to front, so no wonder it kept slipping out... Thank you!!

[@MARY-AllisLove]

Thank you so much! Watching this was much easier than trying to assemble the vacuum by reading the directions.

26:00 the base department calls 📲and the truth about Bagless vacuums is said. It's also said that the 4-minute market some point. Bags are better! Thank you Roger for this based message! Have a happy New Year!

[@natashamorgan4553]

Can't wait to watch this. I know it would be a lot of hard prepping and editing but could you do a video on cleaning an old vacuum cleaner including what you use to polish the casing etc. Thank you

[@gemmagray9160]

I've seen in other IBAISAIC vids that Roger uses uncommon plastic polishes to shine and protect but in case its of any use - you can get paint scuffs off the main shiny body of a Miele with isopropyl alcohol. I then use all purpose furniture polish thats suitable for plastics. HTH. I would like to see how Roger does it too.

[@ibaisaic]

Nothing uncommon about T Cut and Autoglym.

[@Blackheartvacs]

Thanks for sharing this. It's an interesting looking machine and they've definitely addressed some issues with the blizzard like the post filter being easily accessible. I still just can't help but that feel that it's just inferior to their bagged models and yet they have such a high cost. For the price they really should have a multi cyclonic system reducing the need to clean the pre motor filter.

[@vacuumtests9225]

I like look of this vacuum, but bagged Mieles are far better. Miele made this because modern people are brainwashed to buy bagless vacuums. Credit to you showing this vacuum and I appreciate it.

Couldn’t agree more… I love bagged vacuum cleaners xxx

[@Cleaning_Hero]

I agree but I also think bagless vacs are fine as long as they are maintained properly - and have a way to be maintained properly - and if the user does not mind cleaning them out frequently. Most people don’t maintain them, though.

[@corlissyamasaki3476]

@@Cleaning_Hero I guess I'm not willing to wash it out every time. The dust really bothered my asthma.

[@Audios81]

Couldn't agree more. I hate bagless. I gave them a whirl with the Blizzard and the Triflex, useless when emptying, and I have severe allergies. If they could revolutionise the way the empty so that no dust is open to the air, they will get my vacuum business again. Thought maybe this would be the one. But nope. And made in China, forget it. Even the Triflex filters and battery are made in Germany. Hard pass on this one. I'm sure it's for the brainwashed Dyson crowd.

Many thanks for this first video about this new model by Miele.

[@davidperry4013]

This is the best sounding extremely high rpm suction motor I ever heard. Similar rpms to the tiny shark motor but, a lot more pleasant. Miele will probably implement the same motor as the Boost CX1 in their next generation C1 vacuum.

[@Cleaning_Hero]

Miele is also releasing an all-new stick vac this year. It’s supposed to be considerably more powerful than the Triflex, which will become the less powerful, budget option compared to the new one.

I haven’t seen this new vacuum for sale in the us, but it’s sad that it’s made in China when it’s the newest model besides their vacuums being higher priced.

[@1953childstar]

The Miele C-1 and C-2 are also made in China..

[@verygoodbrother]

If it is made in China then I do not want to see made in Germany prices. They moved production to China to cut cost so it should be reflected in the final retail price.

[@1953childstar]

Some of the other Miele Machines are made in China.. The C-1 and C-2 are made in China and I suspect now tools are from China. I just purchased an "extra" C-3 and it had an "all plastic" rug and floor too ( as the one in this video has ) and I am certain it is from China.

[@myoung1970s]

iPhone is made in China. Exorbitant price for a phone

[@deurkl]

It's not Foxconn or some other party producing the vacuum cleaner in China, it's Miele's own factory. Keep in mind this is basically some plastic with an engine, and thus fairly easy to produce. Regarding the vacuum itself, it looks alright, but not amazing.

[@deurkl]

Also interestingly, a lot of German companies try to hide the fact they produce in China. Many times they don't even put the "made in" thingy on their products, instead they put the company's main office address on it. They always try to pretend it's produced in Germany, I think they're a bit afraid of lost business.

[@jbt8922]

Really hope they come to the US market!!!!

[@JENNA9039]

I’ve had the LG for months.

[@Cleaning_Hero]

Yesss! I’ve been waiting for you to review one of these. I want to add it to my Miele collection.

[@Cleaning_Hero]

I hope it truly is a sealed system. The sealed system engineering in this appears to be a little more well designed than in the Blizzard. It also like how there is a black mesh filter with the premotor filter, and how the hepa exhaust filter is replaceable. I’m sure all the filters in it are replaceable, though, which is a plus. This wasn’t the case with the Blizzard. It’s coming to the US in a few months. I’m going to buy one if I can get it with a power nozzle.

[@julesvaltat3159]

At first, I didn't find it great, but the more I continued to watch the video, the more I finally loved it, but the "cat and dog" version, I specify.

[@YamiPheonix531]

Love the redesign of the Boost CX1 compared to the Blizzard CX1. Made in China to either cut down on labor costs or because of availability of parts/components already produced in China? If Miele kept their manufacturing in Europe I would be fine with that…it doesn’t have to be in Germany. Hungary, Czech Republic, Poland, etc. would be fine European nations to manufacture the Boost CX1. The amount of plastic used in the Boost CX1 tells me that aluminium is either too expensive or just hard to source from supply chain issues right now but it looks like high grade sturdy plastic. Overall a good first impression on Miele’s second generation bagless vacuum cleaner.

[@davidperry4013]

Miele C1s in the united states that are made in Germany are the homecare models and the models that come with the power nozzle.

[@FantomLightning]

Thank you! You have convinced me to try bagged hoover! I am thinking of ordering c3 cat & dog 😀

[@drvacuum5697]

Thanks for the review! Why do Miele insist on using this type of filtration? A disappointment. It will probably have the same problem as my Blizzard which cuts off several times mid cleaning. I then have to clean the filter cartridge using the auto-clean or manually. Lots of their vacuum models are made in China nowdays. I have in my collection a Miele C1 and a C2, both made in CN. The quality seems ok though.

[@Audios81]

Sad they are becoming made in PRC. Hoping they come out with at least one more flagship bagged canister. I'll buy it regardless of cost and it will be my last Miele vacuum. Miele what were you thinking. Customers who buy ONLY Miele appliances, washers, dryers, steam ovens, ranges, fridges et cetera and now starting to fill in the line with made in that 3rd world Commie s***hole, no thanks. Thankfully don't need any appliances for the foreseeable future. God can't wait to see the day when their new W1 washer will be "Designed and engineered in GERMANY...assembled in PRC! SMH.

I’ve looked on Miele.nl and can’t see one with a comfort handle.

[@jeroentabor4760]

Thats strange I bought mine at a local vacuum shop! I will sent you a picture via instagram of what it came with!

[@serrendiptiy]

Would suggest that another category should be manouverability i.e. looking at that CX1 it strikes me that it will get caught on every single door jamb, table or wall it comes across - which ultimately leads to dents, scratches, and rage issues if not broken vacumms.

[@MowambiMonopoly]

Excellent video, I always enjoy your highly detailed and informative videos I wish you and your family a great new year, thank-you for your content.

[@Audios81]

Damn! Was quite excited to try it after the last I got was the Triflex, which I wasn't impressed on hard floors. But now this is made in "CN/PRC", forget it. Miele can keep it. I make it a point to buy as little from PRC as possible. Phones I buy are made in South Korea, all Miele appliances down to vacuums, clothing, shoes et cetera, cars, Germany and Italy. While I'm sure A great review as always from you, it's lost it allure not made in Germany. Mistake Miele. Many customers are very aware of what we purchase.

[@MarthaMansbridge]

Miele? China? Oh dear me! This also just looks unnecessarily fussy and complicated for a Miele - I suspect they're seeing sales decline because they sell a range that's pretty much unchanged for a decade so now they're following the fashion with the Tri-Flex and now this - they both look overpriced and fiddly. I'll stick with my S7 and C3 that are both ancient but as good as the day they were bought.

[@1953childstar]

I also have the C-3 ( Made in Germany ) and the C-1 and C-2 are made in China. The quality of the "plastic" is better with the German machines.. I don't care where the tools are made, but the actual machine ???

I don't think it's just a fashionable trend. People these days want something streamlined, small, light weight, easy to store and use. As good as they are, Miele vacs are clunky and very heavy. I'm on the market for a vac and the bulk of Miele's is a big drawback for me

I saw an "unboxing" of the same machine, and it had the "parquet twister" brush and another "hard" surface brush that I had never seen..

[@stevejones1972]

Well, its certainly more compact than the Blizzard, but looks more like a Dyson Big Ball canister. One area it is an improvement on the Blizzard is that you can change the exhaust filter, as on the Blizzard the exhaust HEPA filter is lifetime, built in and non user serviceable without dismantling the whole machine. It uses the same single cyclone separation method as most Shark vacuums and relies on the pleated pre-motor filter, much like the Blizzard does, but the Blizzard has a self clean motor on the pre-motor filter that the Boost does not, so its swings and roundabouts really between the two machines. The main deal breaker meaning I would not touch one of these with a forty foot bargepole is the words "Made in CN" - ie, made in China. At least all the other Mieles and all of them that I own are made in Germany. Sorry Miele, bad move, and it will cost you sales. I guess the only German brand now loyal to Germany is SEBO, but I cant imagine them moving production off to China any time soon.

[@corlissyamasaki3476]

The Dyson ball cannister's not the greatest, why make one like it?

[@匿名的-1]

The lifetime filter is stupid, it does last a lifetime of a Blizzard tho, as they die in like a few years.

[@ianpurcell7266]

Also you stated due to EU law 890 watts but the UK is not in the EU so can miele not sell higher wattage machines in the UK.

[@ibaisaic]

Even though the UK left the EU, we still have EU laws and regulations in place and will continue to do so. The UK government would have to repeal every individual EU regulation they deem to be unnecessary. With the current green agenda, it is highly unlikely that high energy vacuum cleaners will be allowed to be manufactured again.

Damn, even Miele starts to make stuff in China. Shame! I'm very disappointed in Miele. I understand that manufacturing in Germany might be pricy, but they still could've stayed in the EU. For example, they could've started manufacturing in Hungary, since the wages there are quite low.

[@angeryitalianchef7251]

They have actually been making certain things in China for a while now, and they still are very high quality machines, the only reason manufacturers go to China is because it’s cheap, and if their cheap then they also cute manufacturering costs making the product much worse. Miele spends the same on each machine in China as they do the ones made in Germany cause they wanted to make quality machines (before going bagless) but still that would be a good idea

[@stevejones1972]

I agree, its a VERY bad move Miele shipping production off to China, as that puts paid to me ever buying another one. The main reason for buying Miele was the renowned German build quality, so now they become the same old shoddy junk as most of the other stuff China churns out.

[@ibaisaic]

The difference is, it is Miele’s factory and not a third party manufacturer producing Miele designs. Not all Miele vacuums are made in China, just select models at the moment, but who knows, more production may move to China in the future.

[@匿名的-1]

Moving to China not necessary means that quality will worsen, but manufacturing in China will only make them stronger. And I don’t think that’s a good thing since they hate westerners. If they really wanted to cheapen the costs they still could’ve tried India, or as I’ve said a poorer country in EU.

[@verygoodbrother]

@@匿名的-1 that's a short sighted view that only benefits shareholders. Moving production to China or India just provides said countries the expertise to copy your products and release their own cheaper version. That's what we're already seeing in other industries. Moving to a poorer EU country i agree is a better compromise

[@lagenteestaloca5875]

Hopeless PRO: - stylish looks (but this is where it all ends) CON: - rather short power cord - disappointing suction - difficult to move on the floor (wood and short bristle carpet) - poor handle design (because of the curved shape, the hand constantly tends to slide forward on the handle) - unreasonably highly priced I must say, this is my second Miele vacuum. I was not over the moon with the first one, but thought would give it another chance. And I regretted it. On a different note: overall bagless vacuums in my opinion are just an impractical trend. First they put HEPA filters in and tell you the exhaust air is cleaner that your room air, then you have to open the canister and empty it in a plastic bag letting the very dust you trying to avoid inhaling, around your face while the dust is migrating from the canister to the bag. What was wrong with the bags that would contain the dust and have a closing valve?

The sad fact of it is as good as they are Miele vacuums are too heavy and cumbersome for modern consumers.

I’m basing my opinion on the quality of most Chinese made products based on my actual experience of owning and using them and comparing them with products made in Europe or the UK. I have some high end brands made in China that have stood the test of time, but they are the exception rather than the rule. For example a German made Sebo vacuum cleaner is far, far superior in build quality and reliability than a Chinese manufactured Shark, Vax, Hoover or any of the major vacuum brands available in the UK that are made in China. I’m old enough to remember when you could buy British made appliances, clothes, household products etc and they were better made and built to last more than a year or two before being thrown away. As for getting my information from the BBC, I haven’t watched main stream media for many years. I tend to base my views on my personal experiences and common sense, which is why I avoided the procedure that was being pushed on the world a couple of years ago. My partner makes the car buying decisions in this house and I can guarantee that the next car will be petrol or diesel if we are still towing our heavy British built caravan.
