Miele Guard M1 C&D Flex Cylinder Vacuum Cleaner – Obsidian Black

Experience the legendary cleaning power and durability of Miele with the Guard M1 C&D Flex Cylinder Vacuum Cleaner in Obsidian Black – a powerful, bagged cylinder vacuum specifically designed for homes with pets and allergy sufferers. With a 1200W motor, innovative Flex nozzle for under-furniture cleaning, and Miele's renowned build quality, this model delivers exceptional suction, advanced filtration, and effortless manoeuvrability.

The Guard designation means this vacuum is engineered for households with pets. The included Turbo Comfort floorhead features a motorised brush roll that agitates carpets to remove embedded pet hair, while the active carbon filter neutralises pet odours as you clean. The Flex nozzle allows you to clean deep under sofas and beds without moving furniture.

The 1200W motor delivers powerful, consistent suction that captures fine dust, pet dander, and larger debris. The motor is energy-efficient for its class, with Miele's engineering ensuring maximum cleaning performance while minimising electricity consumption. The 6-stage motor protection system extends the life of the motor by filtering dust before it reaches the engine.

The Flex nozzle is a genuine innovation for cylinder vacuums. The hinged floorhead can be angled horizontally, allowing you to reach under low furniture – sofas, beds, cabinets – without bending the wand or moving heavy items. This saves time and effort, especially for daily cleaning in living rooms and bedrooms.

The air clean filter (or HEPA filter depending on the Guard M1 variant) captures 99.99% of fine dust, pollen, and allergens, expelling cleaner air than the air you breathe – a significant benefit for allergy sufferers. The active carbon layer neutralises unpleasant odours, leaving your home smelling fresh as you clean.

The 4.5 litre SelfSeal dust bag is a Miele signature feature. When you remove the bag, a flap automatically seals the opening, preventing dust and allergens from escaping. The bag holds significantly more than bagless dust cups, meaning fewer changes. The bag is hygienic to dispose of – simply seal and discard.

The integrated accessory storage on the vacuum body keeps the crevice nozzle, dusting brush, and upholstery tool always on board. No lost attachments – everything clicks securely into place.

The 11 metre cleaning radius (cable plus wand and hose) allows you to vacuum a large UK living room or multiple rooms without changing sockets. The cable rewinds automatically with a foot pedal – no manual winding.

The 6 power levels (via the rotary dial on the handle or body) allow you to tailor suction from delicate curtains and cushions to deep carpet cleaning. The manual or automatic suction control adjusts power to suit the floor type when using compatible floorheads.

From a practical standpoint, the FootSwitch on the floorhead lets you change from carpet to hard floor mode with a tap of your foot – no bending down. The rubberised hard floor strip protects delicate flooring from scratches.

The clever park system lets you hook the floorhead into the back of the vacuum for quick pauses or upright storage. The vacuum stands upright on its own, even with the floorhead attached.

The Obsidian Black finish is sleek, sophisticated, and premium – a deep black that resists visible marks and complements modern home décor. The finish is as durable as it is attractive.
