Miele Blizzard CX1 Motor Replacement! Oh dear oh dear... 

Fantastic video, love the enthusiasm, but very informative too.

0:20 thanks for the mention! 😁 I don’t miss mine at all! I just liked how quiet it was and the floor tool fitted to my 2200w S8 on full blast haha

Super video. Wouldn’t have been able to replace the power real (the most common fault with these things I’ve been reading) without it!!

Hi Sam, at 6min in your video you said that was the Miele speed controller, it's actually the agitation motor for the spline design filter unit :)

Thanks for the video Sam, I was struggling with how to open up CX1, because the cable would not reel back in and your video helped a lot!!!

When I first got one of these back in 2017, I took it apart and found that non user replaceable exhaust filter - I thought, this is going to be the built in obsolescence that kills these off, once that filter gets clogged up, exactly what you found on your machine will happen. I think the pre-motor filter pleated cone thingy is the weak link as they can split down one or more of the pleats and allow dust to pass staight through them - straight through the motor and clog up the filter that no one knows is even there, as you cant replace it without totally dismantling the machine, and then having to see if Miele will even supply the white plastic housing with the filter integrated into it. What an utter disaster of a machine these are - mine is back in its box never used after the first few uses. They are big bulky, ugly looking things that quite frankly should not even bear the Miele name - they are more like a cheap quality Bosch thats made in China. Stick to the bagged C3 or C2 is the best bet and make sure you service its filters, which you CAN get to on the bagged machines.

Awesome video Sam 👌👌👌

Car air filter would do the trick i reckon

Good work Sam.I’ve seen these for sale used before and considered them.never actually bought one though The bird is on top form lately,and good on him,he wants some of the limelight bless him

I thought these looked alright but after seeing all the hard to access filters don't think I would want one (unless it's cheap) I seen the self cleaning filter is £50

After seeing this it will bagged Mieles for me!

Non-user-replaceable filters. Built in obsolescence.

Thank you for this great video. That Miele is a TOTAL P.O.S. I have an old Miele canister vacuum Model S314 I bought used for $20 Canadian about 5 or 6 years ago which still runs well. The only problem it has is the cord doesn't reel in. I think the S314 is at least 20 years old and is probably more powerful than the current crop of Miele canister vacs which use a bag. I have seen videos of particle tests of this model of vacuum which show that it still filters perfectly to 0 particles in its exhaust. The dirt and the irreplaceable filters I see in that bagless Miele convinces me to never buy a Miele bagless vacuum.

Hello Sam how are you

Lifetime hepa filters are not a good idea in a vacuum.

What canister vacuum do you recommend for pet cleanup dogs and cats

For a German Vacuum, it's really shocking that the design is so poor 👌 it's usually something like a Vax I'd expect this kind of thing to happen to, but definitely not a Miele. Could you convert one of these to take bags I wonder? 🤔

3) And another item is the vacuum cleaner rod, the break on the rod is defect, bad Miele. And the plastic cap breaks ease on the hinge.

Wow that's shockingly bad! What a stupid design decision. I've said it before and I'll say it again - if you want any Miele appliance buy secondhand and make sure it's pre-2006. They went downhill from then on

I'm kind of surprised it took this long for you to get one of these in. The Bagless design was purposely made bad.

1) Miele has a Hepa airclean livetime filter and cannot be replaced, but dust comes also on this filter, bad. What can couse a overheating motor, dust in the motor, motor break.

how sacrilege would it be to stuff a Sebo Evolution exhaust filter in there?

2:19 I genuinely thought that sound was you on winding the cable, it doesn’t even sound like a motor. Even though it is LOL

I really loved our Blizzard after 3 or 4 Dysons, but it just « died », same problem as in your video… for which I´m thankful because I really wanted to buy another one. But what new model should I get, preferably without bag?

Классно, спосибо, мне помогло в ремонте моего аппарата. ✌️👍

Another thing is that from the big plastic bag, the klep hinge is broken, also a weake thing. And that for that expensive machine. Miele must do better.

You can buy all spare parts online at Miele. Including motor parts.

One of the worst bagless vacuum made right now

Hello Sam, I am from Holland. 1)Would it not be better if the hepa filter was put before the motor? Thats another design of course. 2) and would it not be better to remove the sponge from the machine? 3) and I see that you can replace the last filter with some sort of it? We all can see that this is not a livetime hepa airclean filter. And this for a 267 to 397 euro machine, Miele must do better!!! Not Miele is always better.

Are these no good then? I've been on the look out for one for the bed rooms for a while now - got a C3 bagged hoover downstairs which does a job

Wow Sam. That's really shocking. Such a bad design. I guess planned obsolescence.

Any advice for best vacuum cleaners?

Have you worked on a miele cx1 boost cat and dog yet as I can’t find how to take mine apart

Very helpful video.I bought one of these just over 3 years ago and it has lived a charmed life,but recently the retractable cord has failed,very annoying! Shockingly, the few new ones still on the market are over double in price what I paid for mine a few years back.Good suction power but overall this is a cheap and nasty vacuum cleaner.I certainly would'nt buy another one of these.German engineering at it's worst!

Should I get one?

These CX1 Are just garbage

This is probably the worst designed vacuum currently on the market. Avoid at all costs!

Ale chłam 🤦. Mój 17 letni LG wygląda lepiej w środku 😂.

What a fucking pile of trash vacuum cleaner lol... sorry for the language xD
