The catch
Miele Boost CX1
Dirt is disposed of by opening the bin, which holds half of the Blizzard’s stated capacity.
Side by side
Miele Boost CX1 vs Blizzard CX1 Pure Suction Compared: Blizzard has more bin capacity, but no carpet brush or longer reach
Quick verdict
If a compact bagless body matters most, choose Boost CX1. If you want the larger 2 L bin and included parquet brush, choose Blizzard CX1 Pure Suction. Both are suction-only floor packages with the same published reach, so the extra size of the Blizzard gets you neither a carpet brush nor a longer cord.
Before you buy
Why, and what it costs you
Blizzard's bigger footprint gets you bin space and not distance
At about 43 percent larger than Boost's, the body rectangle comes with double the bin capacity while reach stays at 32 ft. That's a sensible trade when container room is the problem, but a poor reason to upgrade if the real trouble is a distant outlet.
Where this comes from
Blizzard comes to 515 x 310 mm and 2 L, Boost to 400 x 280 mm and 1 L. (159650 / 112000 - 1) x 100 works out to about 42.5 percent. A 32 ft radius is listed for each.
The catch
Miele Blizzard CX1 Pure Suction
Its body takes up more floor space than the Boost’s, yet the published reach is no longer.
Miele Boost CX1
- Why pick it
- A body small enough for tight storage
- A simple combination nozzle on mostly hard floors
- The catch
- Dirt is disposed of by opening the bin, which holds half of the Blizzard’s stated capacity.
Miele Blizzard CX1 Pure Suction
- Why pick it
- A bin with more volume for dry debris
- A combination head plus a separate parquet brush
- The catch
- Its body takes up more floor space than the Boost’s, yet the published reach is no longer.

What this page compares
For hard floors and tight storage, bin capacity, body size and the parquet brush are what separate Miele Boost CX1 from Blizzard CX1 Pure Suction.
Bigger bin room and a parquet tool come with the larger Blizzard body. Carpet-brush capability and reach stay as they were.

Differences you will notice
Blizzard's bigger footprint gets you bin space and not distance
At about 43 percent larger than Boost's, the body rectangle comes with double the bin capacity while reach stays at 32 ft. That's a sensible trade when container room is the problem, but a poor reason to upgrade if the real trouble is a distant outlet.
How we worked this out
Blizzard comes to 515 x 310 mm and 2 L, Boost to 400 x 280 mm and 1 L. (159650 / 112000 - 1) x 100 works out to about 42.5 percent. A 32 ft radius is listed for each.
What helps more than the extra liter can be the extra brush
On mainly hardwood or tile, Blizzard's separate parquet brush is the package difference you'd use on every pass. If you'd rather keep a single combination head on through floor changes, Boost's simpler kit may suit your routine better.
How we worked this out
AllTeQ comes with Boost. Blizzard Pure comes with AllTeQ plus SBB300-3 Parquet Twister.
A larger canister won't fix a carpet-tool problem
The main heads in both packages work by suction and not by a rotating carpet brush. When hair worked into permitted carpet is the job that keeps coming back, compare a Turbo Team or electric-head package instead of hoping the bigger bin changes how the floor gets brushed.
How we worked this out
STB305-3 and SEB228 appear on neither exact package list. Both product names and package records point to suction-only floor kits.
Option A
Miele, 11735560
Boost CX1
The 1 L bin keeps the body of this compact bagless canister small, but it holds less debris than the Blizzard range. It suits hard floors and occasional low-pile rugs.
- Best for
- A body small enough for tight storage
Facts we checked
- Container: 1 L
- Body rectangle size: 400 by 280 mm
- Hard-floor tools: AllTeQ combination head
- Rotating carpet brush: Nothing supplied
Option B
Miele, 10829430
Blizzard CX1 Pure Suction
This bagless hard-floor package has a separate parquet brush and a bigger bin than the Boost does. Storage is where you pay for that extra capacity, since the body is wider and longer.
- Best for
- A bin with more volume for dry debris
Facts we checked
- Container: 2 L
- Body rectangle size: 515 by 310 mm
- Hard-floor tools: AllTeQ and the SBB 300-3 parquet brush
- Rotating carpet brush: Nothing supplied
Spec by spec
Where they really differ
| Spec | Miele Boost CX1 | Miele Blizzard CX1 Pure Suction | In practice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Container | 1 L | 2 L | Blizzard's stated bin capacity is double, which doesn't prove a fixed emptying interval. |
| Body rectangle | 400 by 280 mm | 515 by 310 mm | The body itself takes up about 30 percent less rectangular floor area on Boost. |
| Hard-floor kit | AllTeQ combination head | AllTeQ plus SBB 300-3 parquet brush | A dedicated swiveling brush for hard floors comes with Blizzard. |
| Rotating carpet brush | None included | None included | The floorhead your carpet needs can't be replaced by a larger body. |
| Suction adjustment | Four body-dial settings | Four body-dial settings | Controls sit in the same place, with the same number of settings. |
| Reach | 21 ft cord, 32 ft radius | 21 ft cord, 32 ft radius | Outlet placement gives neither an advantage. |
Trade-offs
What each pick costs you
With Miele Boost CX1
- Unlike the Cat & Dog version, the standard package has no HEPA filter or turbo floorhead.
With Miele Blizzard CX1 Pure Suction
- Where the Turbo Team has a HEPA filter, this package includes a Hygiene lifetime filter.
Change of plan
When the answer changes
More storage room is justified by bin volume and a dedicated parquet brush
Go with Miele Blizzard CX1 Pure Suction. These are where the Blizzard package makes a real gain.
The floor kit is enough and the body must squeeze into a tight cupboard
Go with Miele Boost CX1. Published reach stays the same on the smaller Boost body.
Decision guide
How to decide
Choose Boost if you want the smaller storage footprint, and Blizzard Pure Suction for its 2 L bin and dedicated parquet tool, provided suction-only floor care suits the home.
Think about a planned rug before buying the larger body
Should you expect to add a substantial rug or move to a carpeted home, settle the floorhead requirement first. Rotating carpet brushing is not part of either selected base package, and the larger Blizzard bin does nothing about that missing tool. Look at a package built for the real floor task and do not assume a bigger canister is a carpet upgrade.
The parquet head belongs in the purchase decision
Alongside its combination head, Blizzard Pure Suction includes a separate SBB 300-3 parquet brush. That is a dedicated option for permitted bare floors, though it is an extra piece to store. The supplied floor kit on the Boost is simpler. When storage is tight, compare the whole collection of attachments and not just the canister outline.
What this page can’t tell you
- Suction-only packages are not assumed to suit every carpet pile.
- Pickup, compaction and emptying cleanliness are not measured by stated bin volumes.
