Compact yet powerful, the C1 vacuums feature the renowned Miele Vortex Motor and are HEPA capable, with the TITANREPLACE model being the only standard option equipped with a HEPA filter.

Operating the C1 model is effortless and straightforward and can easily be personalized with specialized attachments and accessories to meet evolving cleaning needs. Each unit comes with a spacious GN AirClean Dust Bag and a telescopic wand for added convenience. Although they lack a fully sealed system and the sound insulation of other models, they still operate quieter than most other canister vacuum brands.

Miele’s CX1 Series offer a revolutionary line of canister vacuums designed to offer user convenience and cleaning prowess without the need for bags. These models feature complete sealing and boast lifetime, washable filters. Equipped with onboard tool storage, effortless maneuverability, and Miele's powerful 1200W Vortex Motor, they epitomize efficiency in home cleaning. With a retractable 21-foot cord, the Miele CX1 Bagless Vacuums extend your cleaning reach to an impressive 33 feet, while the floorhead conveniently parks on the vacuum's side for easy storage or quick breaks during cleaning sessions. Sporting a sleek design, these vacuums glide effortlessly on their four 360-degree castor wheels, enhancing maneuverability and agility.
