Product Information

This is where the Dyson and Shark cordless vacuums perform better because they can use either a softer, hard-floor specific powered brush or an adjustable floor head to clean up these types of spills more effectively. On hard flooring, most vacuums struggle to roll over these big pieces, pushing the majority out of the way and that proved to be the case with the Miele. Named after the innovative 3-in-1 design; the Triflex offers the perfect trifecta of vacuuming solutions. One issue with the Miele Triflex is the high noise levels, particularly with the main nozzle attached.

The lightweight, 3-in-1 design allows you to detach the unit from the stick – which converts to a hand-held device for quick cleaning and tackling car interiors. When he’s not writing reviews, he enjoys spending time with his wife and son, traveling and tasting different cuisines. The intelligent brush can instantly detect a change in flooring and adjust optimal power output accordingly. IIn the before and after shots above, you can see, you can see that the passes were clean, and there wasn’t any visible debris left.

It’s cheaper and less classy than Miele and Dyson’s cleaners but punches well above its weight in terms of cleaning ability and clever features. And it looks like it will fill rapidly, too, with carpet fluff collecting and jamming at one side during our tests. There’s only one control on the device: a four-point sliding switch that’s located on the handle, about where your thumb lies as you hold it. This is confirmed in the cleaning results (up next), where the Triflex had nearly identical deep cleaning results in the mid and max setting.

Multi-Floor XXL Electrobrush: Capable of covering a larger surface area in a shorter time when compared to other stick vacuum cleaners. Stick vacuum ergonomics are decent, especially in its upright configuration, but steering is sub-par, lacking in responsiveness.Another experiment I did was a crevice pick-up test, where I scattered debris on this quarter-inch crevice.

In max power, the Miele TriFlex matches the Dyson V11 and, in low power mode it’s on a par with the Dyson V8. I enjoyed the option of reconfiguring the vacuum in a different way, and it’s always a joy to find a cordless stick vacuum that can support itself in an upright position when not in use. The Dyson V11, the British firm’s flagship vacuum, is the main rival to the HX1 when it comes to premium cordless vacuums.Shark does it even better, building both soft roller and brush roller into one universal floor head. 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. There are few things as frustrating as your portable vacuum cleaner running out of juice before you’re finished. While on the subject of the rollers, I was disappointed none of them offer any kind anti-tangle mechanism to keep the roller free of hair. 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.
