I tested the Miele Guard L1 Flex Sunset yellow vacuum cleaner with bag. This vacuum cleaner stands out because of its ease of use, the handy accessories and its cheerful design. It is quite large, but that is part of traditional vacuum cleaners.
Comfortable design that is easy to use
During testing, I immediately noticed how comfortable the raised handle is in the hand. This allows me to smoothly steer the vacuum cleaner through the room, without it feeling heavy. I can quickly adjust the suction power with the plus and minus buttons. The clear icons show which setting is suitable for curtains or carpet, for example. I notice that the vacuum cleaner has no trouble sucking up dirt. Dust, hair and crumbs quickly disappear on hard floors, but also on carpet. Vacuuming takes little effort. The long cord also helps: I change sockets less often and vacuum faster.
Handy accessories for every corner
The Miele Guard L1 Flex has a few handy accessories. The flexible crevice nozzle is very useful for hard-to-reach places, such as between cushions or behind furniture. The 2-in-1 accessory is neatly stored in a compartment in the vacuum cleaner. This way I don't lose it and I always have it to hand. The floor nozzle works on different floors and adjusts at the touch of a button.
Easy maintenance with a few points of attention
I can easily replace the dust bag. It closes automatically, so I throw it away without releasing any dust. This makes maintenance neat and hygienic. For example, there is no special nozzle for delicate floors such as parquet. The vacuum cleaner is also quite large. This makes storage a bit difficult if you have little space. The fresh, yellow colour makes up for a lot. It gives this vacuum cleaner just that little bit more character.
