Review: Miele Blizzard CX1, Comfort. 1200W Bagless vacuum cleaner

Following the unboxing and first tests, this is the formal review of my Miele Blizzard CX1. It is the top end "comfort" model with the remote controlled handlegrip, and features the Parquest Twister XL hard floor brush, as well as the usual combination "Ecoteq Plus" carpet/hard floor nozzle. It comes with the 3 seperate small tools, and a dedicated hard floor tool (not shown in the video, sorry about that) with rubber squeegees rather than brushes. The 1200W version I show is now being updated to a lower wattage 890W version, in order to comply with EU rules and regulations, as the 1200W version was deemed to powerful. The current 890W version retails for around the region of £360 - £400 in Currys, Argos and on Miele's website. The version I show was an ex-display model from Currys that I paid £159 for.
