Bagless Vacuums

Bagless vacuums done properly — Miele engineering instead of the flimsy bin-vacs that give bagless a bad name.

No bags to buy, no bags to run out of. The compact Boost CX1, in Parquet and Cat & Dog versions, is the pick for condos and hard-floor homes; the full-size Blizzard CX1 line — Pure Suction, Turbo Team, and Cat & Dog — adds Vortex airflow and a one-touch emptying system that drops dirt out in a sealed clump rather than a cloud. Washable lifetime filters and genuine Miele HEPA options keep the running costs near zero.

Bagless suits some homes and not others — heavy-shedding pets and dust allergies usually argue for bagged, and we'll say so before you spend a dollar. That honesty is the house specialty: Avon Vacuums, family-owned in Avon, CT since 1972.
