Miele Guard M1 Flex Cylinder Vacuum Cleaner, Nordic Blue (12652550)

It's a bagged vacuum, using a HyClean Pure CO bag with 4.5L capacity rather than a bagless bin you empty by hand. Dust collected in the bag passes through an AirClean filter rated at 99.99% filtration performance, which Miele describes as equivalent to the HEPA H13 standard, before exhaust air is released. The bagged design suits allergy-sensitive households who prefer sealed disposal over tipping out a bin, though it means an ongoing cost for replacement bags. At 6.7kg it's on the heavier side for a cylinder vacuum, and it's priced at £289.00 with a 2-year parts-and-labour warranty.

It uses an AirClean filter rated at 99.99% filtration performance, described by Miele as equivalent to the HEPA H13 standard, though this figure comes from manufacturer specification rather than independent lab testing. The filter isn't washable and needs periodic replacement, and it sits within a sealed system, which matters for allergy management since it limits fine dust escaping back into the room. This filtration performance is bundled into a 4.5-litre bagged cylinder vacuum weighing 6.7kg, priced at £289.00 and backed by a 2-year warranty covering parts and labour.

It was listed at £289.00 by Appliance City at the time this data was recorded, placing it in the £200–£300 price band for cylinder vacuums, though it's also verified available at other UK retailers including John Lewis, Currys and Marks Electrical, so prices are worth comparing. Prices can vary by retailer and change over time, so check current pricing before buying. For that price, you get a corded, bagged 6.7kg cylinder vacuum with HEPA H13-equivalent filtration, a 4.5-litre HyClean Pure CO bag, and a 2-year warranty covering parts and labour.

Miele's official specification lists it at 6.7kg, though the source data notes measurements as high as 7.23kg depending on methodology, which places it in the heavier band for cylinder vacuums either way. Some of that weight comes from the steel shaft and castors that support its 3-point manoeuvrability, along with the telescopic EasySlide tube. Being corded rather than cordless also means the weight is pulled along the floor during use rather than held up, which matters less for handling than it would on a stick vacuum. It's priced at £289.00 with a 2-year parts-and-labour warranty.

It comes with a 2-year warranty covering parts and labour, in line with Miele's standard cover for its Guard range of cylinder vacuums. That warranty applies to the whole corded, bagged machine, including its 4.5-litre HyClean Pure CO bag system and AirClean filter, though the filter itself is a non-washable consumable that needs replacing over time regardless of warranty status. At £289.00 and 6.7kg, the 2-year cover is standard for this price band rather than an extended guarantee, and it applies to a conventional cylinder vacuum without self-emptying, app control or wet-and-dry functions.
