Miele Cat+dog+

Advantages: Compact and light, great suction power
Disadvantages: You will have to keep buying dust bags...

To make the choice easier, Miele helpfully named this edition of their cylinder vacuum cleaner Cat & Dog. So potential customers were able to identify it as such. It worked for us. I chose a cylinder cleaner as they’re smaller and quieter, and easier to get up and down the stairs and round furniture. We don’t actually have any pet hair to deal with, only human hair of the long variety, but we have a couple of Turkish rugs which will cling to hairs ...
...some sort – a suction-only vacuum cleaner would not have worked here. Rugs on the other hand are tricky because they have tasselled fringes etc that can be a disaster in the making with the rotating brushes of an upright. The cleaner itself is light and compact, considerably smaller than the old upright we used to have. It has a compact body, on wheels which allow you to manoeuvre round the furniture no problem, and it is also small enough to sit ... Read review

Advantages: Does what it claims to do
Disadvantages: The attachments need cleaning regularly and the bags get full quickly

...saw the advert for the Miele Cat and Dog hoover over a year ago and realised that it was just what we needed. Of course I didn't believe their claims, few vacuum cleaners have managed to pick up dog hairs in my experience. I thought it must be a gimmick and decided to come to Ciao to read some customer reviews. All reviews seemed to be in favour. I thought the cleaner was quite expensive but I had some money saved and thought it was the least I could ...
...a good supply of these. Miele offer monthly delivery of these I think which I wish I'd opted in for. There is a red indicator bar on the front of the cylinder that tells you when the bags are full. Now another little story (I'll try to keep it brief) Just over a year after getting my Vacuum it began to lose suction. I was gutted, as Miele had never sent confirmation of receiving my warranty. I grumbled and moaned at the name of Miele but usually ... Read review

Advantages: Picks up cat hairs with little effort, quiet in operation, easy to store
Disadvantages: Struggles with long human hair, need special brush to clean stairs properly

...telling me there was a Miele Cat and Dog Plus fully paid for over the phone awaiting collection at our local House of Fraser. She'd heard they were really good. Our first night was spent examining the bits and bobs, and documentation, what goes where etc, and decided to wait until the morning for the first test. When it came to the test we were astonished. Even on a low setting, where it previously took 8-10 passes of the brush, the 'turbobrush' ...
...the lounge. ~Miele CleanCare~ Miele also offer an extended warranty, which I took out just after purchase. I'm normally very wary of these, but for £17 a year for 5 years covers you for all parts and labour (*excluding misuse). You also get two boxes of dustbags each year (10 dustbags and 2 Super Clean Air filters) delivered free of charge to you. The normal cost of these are £6.50 a box, although to be fair I've only just changed the first dustbag, ... Read review

Advantages: Sturdy, powerful, efficient
Disadvantages: None

...I have had my Miele Cat and Dog for around five years now and it is still going strong. It is without a doubt the best vacuum cleaner I have ever seen (you can shove your Dysons) and I would heartily recommend purchasing this item if you are looking for a long-lasting, hard-working little sucker! One of my favourite features with this piece is the quality build and design. The cleaner is cylindrical, built from a durable plastic, but is not unwieldy ...
...the high street). The Miele cost me around £190, which was one of the most expensive cleaners you could buy back then. With the assault of the Dyson range on the market, prices of cylindrical vacuum cleaners have fallen considerably, but I have not seen one as good this yet. So go on – get one and get sucking! ...

Advantages: SUPERB CLEANING, CANT FAULT IT
Disadvantages: A LITTLE DIFFICULT TO STORE

...I absolutley love my miele cat & dog. Vacuuming is now a pleasure, dare I say fun (sad arent I!) . After several years of putting up with cr*p machines, (one of which was a rather expensive one) ,which blew up, blocked up and messed up I did some careful research and read several reviews on the internet and came across the Miele cat and dog. I have one hairy Labrador X and 5 kids and my vacuums just couldnt cope with us, I was getting through one once a year. I can honestly say this is one of the best buys I have ever made, it is certainly the best vacuum I have ever bought. It is superbly powerful and does my carpets and wood floor a treat! It has never blocked up or let me down and sucks up dog hairs and muck brilliantly. I cant fault its performance, I only have a problem with storing it but I always have with cylinder models....

Advantages: Unbreakable, don't worry about the dog chewing the hose or the kids jumping on it!
Disadvantages: You can only buy the bags from Miele or John Lewis

...After having so many vacuum cleaners abused by husbands and pets. Miele Cat & Dog MAX has survived it all. The body is made of 'crash helmet' material and the tube is indestructible! If you don't believe me, get your kids to ride on it and pull it along or your pet to chew it. It is so silent on the low setting my husband can watch TV as I get on with dusting. The high setting will pick up any pet hair, my husband even found the upholsery turbo brush great for his fur-covered suit! Best of all it's so silent your cats will stay asleep as you clean their pet beds. Great if you're an asthme sufferer too! I've had many teary eyed-runny nose moments with vacuum cleaners in the past!... Read review

Advantages: Contollable suction power
Disadvantages: haven't found any yet!

...The Miele CAT & DOG TT-5000 (S5260) Cylinder is a revelation. The suction power is variable for differnet surfaces - curtains or furniture etc. Full power 2200 - low power 300 watts. Even with full power 2200 watts it seems very quiet - the first one my cats not afraid of! It has automatic cord rewind and tools on board. 3 onboard accessories include the dusting brush - with natural bristles, an upholstery nozzle and crevice nozzle. They are stored within the body of the machine. It is a cylinder vacuum so it is light weight and easy to operate. It has a thermal cut out, in case of overheating if there was a blockage. Miele state that the hoover has been tested for 1000 hours which is 20 year usage! It comes with an active air filter, but you can easily buy a hepa filter. It comes with a buffer strip around the body... Read review
