Miele Guard L1 Cat & Dog Bagged Canister Vacuum, Obsidian Black
The Miele Guard L1 Cat & Dog combines the cleaning tools pet owners need with thoughtful controls for everyday use. Its TurboTeQ floorbrush addresses hair on short-pile carpets, while Active AirClean filtration helps manage odors associated with collected debris.
The Obsidian Black canister also includes an ergonomic Comfort handle, foot-operated suction adjustment, and integrated detail-cleaning tools. That combination makes it easy to move from a rug to sofa cushions or narrow spaces without searching for a separate accessory kit.
A Pet-Focused Floor Cleaning Package
The STB 305-3 TurboTeQ floorbrush uses the vacuum’s airflow to rotate its brush roller. Brushing and suction work together to release hair and threads from short-pile carpets. An adjustable air valve helps keep the tool moving instead of gripping the carpet too tightly.
The included SBD 365-3 AllTeQ combination floorhead provides another option for carpet and hard surfaces. The TurboTeQ is air-driven, not electrically motorized, an important distinction when choosing a vacuum for extensive deep-pile carpeting.
Filtration with Odor Reduction
An Active AirClean exhaust filter uses activated charcoal to help reduce unpleasant odors. Dirt collects in a 3.5-liter TU dustbag, and ComfortFit helps keep that bag correctly positioned. A bag-change indicator supports routine maintenance. This configuration includes Active AirClean rather than a HEPA AirClean exhaust filter.
Designed for Convenient Handling
- Four selectable suction modes: Match power to the cleaning task.
- Plus and minus foot controls: Adjust suction without reaching down to a dial.
- Comfort handle and telescopic wand: Set up a comfortable grip and working length.
- Integrated accessories: A 2-in-1 upholstery and crevice nozzle plus a dusting brush support above-floor cleaning.
- Four-point maneuverability: Floor-friendly casters help the canister follow your cleaning path.
- Automatic cord rewind: Retract the cord with a single press.
