    Overview

    Engineered in Germany for performance and durability, the Miele Guard L1 Cat & Dog Bagged Vacuum Cleaner is built to tackle household messes with power and precision. This high-efficiency vacuum delivers deep cleaning on both hard floors and low to medium pile carpets, making it an excellent choice for pet owners. Featuring Miele’s TurboTeQ Floor head, it excels at lifting stubborn pet hair, while the AllTeQ Universal Floor head provides seamless transitions between floor types with a simple foot tap.

    A powerful motor combined with easily adjustable suction settings ensures the right level of performance for every surface, all controlled via user-friendly foot switches. The vacuum's Active AirClean Filter effectively neutralises odours and traps fine dust, contributing to a fresher indoor environment. Thanks to Miele’s Comfort Fit locking system and HyClean Pure vacuum bags, dust and allergens are securely sealed away for hygienic disposal.

    Cleaning larger spaces becomes more convenient with an impressive 11-metre operating radius and an 7.5-metre power cord, reducing the need to constantly change outlets. The automatic cable rewind function is foot-operated, minimising the need to bend down. Meticulously tested to simulate 20 years of use, this vacuum reflects Miele’s commitment to long-lasting quality. Whether it’s pet fur, dust, or general debris, the Miele Guard L1 delivers exceptional results with ease and reliability.

    Equipped with large 3.5L HyClean dust bags, this vacuum offers extended cleaning without frequent replacements. The hygienic ComfortFit locking system ensures dust and debris are securely sealed inside the bag, making disposal clean and convenient, ideal for maintaining a tidy home with minimal effort.

    Extended Operating Radius

    Featuring a generous 11-metre operating range and a 7.5-metre power cord, this vacuum allows you to clean larger areas with fewer interruptions. Move easily from room to room without constant outlet changes, making everyday vacuuming quicker and more efficient.

    Does the job of a formula one race car
    I bought this praying it would be as good as the original version which lasted a good few years and was built like an ox, and after being dismally disappointed with the last downgraded version I accidentally bought thinking I had nabbed it at a great discounted price. The new design is sleek and I love the colour, it does the amazing job of capturing all the dog hair and with three long haired females in my house, all that hair too. The main issue I have is the noise! I read reviews saying it was quiet, but ours sounds as loud as a formula one racing car, it’s that loud it’s hysterical! My husband made the reference to the car and now I just laugh with him when vacuuming! Seriously wondering if this is normal or we have a problem.
