As Ideal Home’s vacuum cleaner expert, it’s my job to test all of the latest innovations within the vacuum world. The latest model to land on my desk... or floors? The Miele Guard M1 Cat & Dog. Released in March 2025, I wanted to see whether this hot-off-the-press model has what it takes to be crowned one of the best vacuum cleaners.
More importantly, I wanted to see how it fared compared to the models I’ve crowned the best pet hair vacuums. And I have to say that while I was a die-hard stick vacuum fan before, I’ve had no choice but to carve a special place in my heart for this new cylinder vacuum - especially as the paw-rent of a shedding dog.
