How hygienic is it without a bag?

Hygienic emptying. In contrast to other bagless systems, this method consistently separates the coarse dirt from the fine dust. This fine dust is then collected in a separate container with the help of the Gore® CleanStream® fine dust filter. This reduces the unsettling of fine dust to a minimum when emptying the container.
Gore® CleanStream® fine dust filter
The innovative principle of separating coarse soiling into a transparent dust container and fine dust into a different filter container enables especially hygienic emptying of the Blizzard. When compared to other bagless systems, the Miele Blizzard excels with significantly less fine dust escaping during emptying.

The dust container can be easily removed from the appliance by pulling the handle in an upward motion. With one click on the “empty” button, the container opens and all the dust drops into the bin.
ComfortClean
Unique sensors monitor the Gore® CleanStream® fine dust filter. The ComfortClean function cleans the fine dust filter automatically as needed. After several seconds, the Blizzard CX1 is ready for use again and keeps vacuuming powerfully.
