Upright, canister and stick vacuums · Miele
Owners of the Miele Guard L1 Cat & Dog say it works great, and one who switched from a Dyson found it left floors clear of pet hair.
One owner who upgraded from a Dyson to the Guard L1 Cat & Dog called the difference night and day and said their floors had never been so free of hair. That is a single account, so there is no wider verdict yet.
Model choice is the one sore point, and only one owner raised it: they say the L1 Cat & Dog works great but wish they had paid more for the L1 Comfort. Too few owners have weighed in to call it a pattern.
Pick up to three. You get a page with just those, side by side, on the subjects owners raised.
The account of daily use is thin. The one owner who described it said the L1 Cat & Dog works great and that pet hair comes off their floors better than it did with their old Dyson.
What owners seem to adjust to is picking the right version. One owner wishes they had spent more on the L1 Comfort. Another tried the L1 and the M1 in person and bought the M1, saying it has more and better small accessories, larger bags, a real motor prefilter and an extra hook for accessories when parked. That owner still called the L1 a fine vacuum and said its wheels are better, as far as they know.
We have no owner accounts of how the L1 holds up over time. Nobody described a part failing, a repair, or wear after months of use.
The only related point is one owner's comparison that the L1 has better wheels than the M1. It is a side-by-side impression, not a durability report. Treat reliability as unknown until more long-term owners write in.
Nothing with a clear majority yet. Owners who raised these subjects were split, or too few to judge.
Nothing has a clear majority against it yet. Counted from the owners who raised each subject, not from everyone. A subject is judged once at least 4 owners raise it.
7 more subjects came up from fewer than 4 owners each, which is not enough for a fair reading. To see how it stacks up, compare it with another machine.
The same owner, asked again at each point. Fills in as owners answer.
Two questions: how long you have had it, and anything you would like to say about it. Then we ask again as it ages. This helps our mission.

Before you buy one used, ask the seller: how old it is, whether it was ever repaired and by whom, and whether any of the parts above have been replaced. Ask to see it run. A receipt tells you the warranty start date; most makers honour the term only for the first owner.
Counted from public accounts by people who said they own it, and summarised by Still Kicks in its own words. Not a manufacturer claim, a lab test or an estimate.
