Product Information

Surprisingly, it was better with shorter five and seven-inch strands but struggled with nine-inch hair. Despite not having a soft roller tool, the Miele Triflex did well cleaning this area, as you’ll see in the before and after photo below. Cleaning carpet is where the Miele Triflex HX1 excels with its above-average airflow and brush roll design. An innovative and powerful cordless vacuum would be nothing without Miele’s renowned filtration capability. The Hygiene filter reliably prevents 99.9% of dust and fine particulate from re-entering the atmosphere while cleaning – superior air quality means a safer home environment for you and your loved ones. The hygiene filter is designed to last the lifetime of your device, no need to replace or worry about quality deterioration over time.

With a removable 2,500mAh, 25.2V lithium-ion battery – which plugs directly into the supplied mains adapter – and a filter you never need to replace, the Miele TriFlex HX1 is a practical beast. Indeed, if you shell out for the top model you also get a pair of batteries for your money, which means you can leave one charging while cleaning with the other, then swap over when the juice runs low.

The price is at a sweet spot for the performance it brings to the table. You could argue that the Cat & Dog offers more, but it’s slightly overpriced, in my opinion.This is confirmed in the cleaning results (up next), where the Triflex had nearly identical deep cleaning results in the mid and max setting. The overall score is skewed by its poor performance vacuuming quaker oats. Otherwise, it would have been a higher average. The Miele TriFlex HX1 is clearly a high-quality vacuum cleaner. It’s well made, comfortable to use – especially for floor cleaning – it cleans well and battery life is decent. The flexibility of its 3-in-1 design brings something genuinely useful to the table, allowing for more comfortable cleaning that’s easy on the wrist. It also comes with an extra battery that doubles the run time from 60 minutes (claimed) to 120 minutes. Dustbin design and capacity

The Miele TriFlex HX1 has a quoted battery life of up to 60 minutes with no powered brush heads in low power, and up to 17 minutes in high power mode with the powered brush head attached. Charging from empty takes a quoted four hours. In our tests, in Max mode the HX1 lasted 12mins 11secs and in low power mode it ran for 28mins 11secs; the powered cleaning head was attached and running in both tests.

The Verdict: Base Model is Excellent Value on Carpet

The Pro version, reviewed here, comes with the basic attachments and the illuminated floor head, but doesn’t have the mini motorised tool. However, it does come with a second battery, a separate battery charger, and two extra rollers that you can swap out for the standard brush roller in the main floor head. These are a secondary, softer carpet brush roller for delicate carpets, and a soft roller for hard floor. While the handle placement is ideal for cleaning floors, it isn’t in handheld mode since you’ll have to carry most of the weight.

It only has a traditional brush roll, and while Miele says it’s “multi-floor,” I wouldn’t recommend it on hard floors.

The most ergonomic mode for the Triflex HX1 is its upright configuration. Its handle position is ideal to use as an upright with the motor at the lower end. But I wouldn’t spend extra for the Cat & Dog model because its handheld ergonomics is less than ideal.
