Our Verdict
Dyson V15 Detect
Miele Boost CX1
The Dyson V15 Detect and the Miele Boost CX1 are very different vacuums; their only common feature is that they're both bagless. The Dyson performs much better overall, though. It's a little easier to maintain and has zero recurring cost. However, the Miele is a canister vacuum, which has a significantly larger dirt compartment, and it also boasts higher build quality than the Dyson.
