TLDR Review: Miele Boost CX1 Parquet Vacuum

Emptying and cleaning the Miele Boost CX1 Parquet is pretty straightforward. According to the manufacturer's product description, it's a bagless vacuum, so you just press a button to remove the dust container and dump it directly into the trash. No wrestling with messy bags.

Our research also shows that its filters are easy to maintain. It has a maintenance-free HEPA AirClean lifetime filter, which is great for trapping fine particles and allergens. You just need to rinse it with water and let it dry.

There's also a Hygiene Lifetime Filter that ensures high filtration efficiency, trapping up to 99.98% of fine dust and allergens. And according to our findings, emptying the dustbin is a clean process that doesn’t create dust clouds. The design of the dustbin helps contain the dust, making the whole thing less of a hassle.

The vacuum even has a maintenance indicator that reminds you when it's time to clean the filters. One thing to keep in mind, though, is that some people think the dustbin is a bit small, so you might find yourself emptying it a bit more often if you have a larger home or pets.

Overall, the Miele Boost CX1 Parquet is easy to empty and clean, with its convenient bagless design and user-friendly features making it a good choice for effortless maintenance.

The Miele Boost CX1 Parquet Bagless Canister Vacuum Cleaner (White/Rose) does a fantastic job on hardwood floors, but its performance on carpets is a bit mixed.

From our research, we found that its design and features, like the flexible Parquet Twister floorhead, make it great for hard surfaces like tile and laminate. Its powerful vortex suction picks up both large debris and fine dust effectively on these types of floors. Many reviews highlight how well it handles hard floors, often outperforming other vacuums in this category.

But when it comes to carpets, especially higher-pile ones, it doesn't do as well. One of the main issues is the lack of a motorized brush head, which is essential for deep cleaning carpets. While it can manage low-pile carpets somewhat, it's not the best option if you have a lot of carpeting at home.

If your house has a mix of hard floors and carpets, you might want to consider getting an additional brush head designed for carpets or look into a different variant of the Miele Boost CX1 that comes with a motorized brush.

Overall, the Miele Boost CX1 Parquet is excellent for hard floors but may fall short if you need to tackle lots of carpet.

The Miele Boost CX1 Parquet does a great job on hard floors like parquet, laminate, and tile. But when it comes to pet hair, especially on carpets, there are a few things to consider. According to the manufacturer's description, it's primarily designed for delicate hard floors, which means it's not really built for carpets. Here's what we've found based on our research and feedback from people who have used it.

Performance on Hard Floors

On hard floors, this Miele vacuum really shines. It's got strong suction and is easy to maneuver. The Parquet Twister floorhead does a great job of getting around obstacles and into corners.

So, if you've got mostly hard floors at home, you'll likely find this vacuum does a great job with picking up pet hair and other debris.

Performance on Carpets

But when it comes to carpets, especially thick ones, the Miele Boost CX1 Parquet struggles a bit. The high suction power combined with a non-rotating brush head makes it tough to get deep into the carpet fibers to pull out dirt and pet hair.

Our research shows that many people find it tends to stick to the carpet, making it hard to push and pull, which can be pretty annoying if you've got a lot of carpeted areas.

Issues with Pet Hair

For pet hair specifically, results are mixed. It's fine on hard floors, picking up pet hair without much trouble. But on carpets, the lack of a motorized brush means pet hair can get tangled in the fibers and become tough to remove.

Some folks mentioned that the vacuum head can get clogged with pet hair, which means you'll need to clean it out by hand to keep it working well.

Alternative Options

If you've got a lot of carpet and pet hair to deal with, you might want to look into the Miele CX1 Cat & Dog, which comes with a powered TurboBrush.

Even so, there have been some comments saying it might not be perfect for thick carpets either. So for thick carpets and heavy pet hair, you might want to consider a vacuum with a more powerful motorized brush head.

Conclusion

In short, the Miele Boost CX1 Parquet is great for homes with hard floors, offering strong suction and maneuverability. But if you've got a lot of carpet and need to deal with pet hair, it might not be the best fit and could end up being frustrating to use.

In that case, you might want to check out other vacuums with motorized brush heads.
