Miele Boost CX1 Pure Suction Obsidian Black

Obsidian Black is the darker of the two solid finishes Miele offers on this Pure Suction configuration of the Boost CX1, a bagless canister vacuum built around straight suction rather than a motorized brush head.

Skipping the powered head is a deliberate choice for certain homes, not a missing feature. Straight suction pulls debris cleanly from hard floors and lighter carpet without a brush belt or roller to wear out over years of use, which means less to think about between cleanings and nothing extra to repair down the line. Floor duty falls to the SBD 365-3 combination head, flipping between bare-floor and carpet modes with a footswitch rather than relying on a motorized roller.

The bagless bin underneath empties directly into the trash, so there is no bag to buy, store, or run out of partway through a cleaning session. As with any Pure Suction canister, homes carrying a lot of wall-to-wall pile carpet will generally see better pickup from a Turbo Team or motorized-head configuration instead, so let us know your floor mix before you order.

Boost sits alongside Blizzard as one of two bagless canister series Miele builds on the CX1 platform, and the two lines are not simply the same machine in different colors, so ask us about the differences before deciding between them. Miele's manufacturer warranty rides along with every sale here, courtesy of Vacuums and More's authorized-dealer agreement with Miele for the Boost CX1 Pure Suction in Obsidian Black. Both finish options on this Pure Suction configuration share the same internals, so the choice between Obsidian Black and Graphite Grey comes down entirely to which color suits the room where the machine will be stored and used most often.
