Miele Triflex HX2 Vacuum Cleaner - Cordless, bagless stick vacuum with 3in1 design, HEPA Lifetime Filter and 60 min runtime, Lotus White colour

Product Information

The power doesn't deplete when in use, but you will notice the battery indicator light blinking for a minute-or-so before it cuts out. This is useful because it gives you just enough time to run down the stairs to find that spare battery, which you will need when vacuuming a three-bed house from top to bottom.

Other accessories are an upholstery nozzle, crevice tool, furniture brush, mini turbo brush, two multi-use wet pads, two single-use wet pads, two dust bags, an angle tool and an additional battery. In the box you will also find an all-in-one clean station and an accessory cradle with battery charger, which is able to store all the tools that come with the vacuum. Traditionally, vacuum cleaners are wired and come in two styles; upright vacuums and cylinders, also referred to as canister vacuums, but which is better?Canister vacuums are extremely compact, with the motor and dust bag contained in a tiny unit. This has a hose and floor cleaning head attached to it. Lighter and easy to maneuver around your home, cylinder vacuums make it far easier to clean flights of stairs. Still, the smaller size has a downside - it requires you to be hunched over when compact size means you'll be bent over far more than using an upright vacuum. However, our reviewer was disappointed there was only one power level, as she’d like to have been able to adjust the suction force, particularly on deep pile carpets, as you may find the vacuum hard to manoeuvre. It’s also a bulky appliance, which may cause storage issues for some. We found that the Hoover HL5 is loud, however, after we measured between 78dB - 82dB, from using the wand in portable mode to using the motorized floor head on the floor, using our decibel reader on our phones. It is also mighty heavy and the bin had a tendency to lift off when we tried to lug the upright vacuum up the stairs. Miele's new Triflex brushless motor is made in Germany and gives the Triflex HX2 a 60% increase in performance compared to the previous model. This new motor coupled with our Vortex technology, makes the Triflex HX2 Miele's most powerful vacuum cleaner EVER.

The floorhead also features a light strip along its front edge, which we found super-useful for lighting up areas under furniture, or revealing finer dirt on the hard floor in lower lit areas of the house. Note that this is only present on the Triflex HX2 Pro and Triflex HX2Cat & Dog models. Miele also includes a separate Hardfloor Care soft roller for use on hard floors and a Carpet Care roller brush for more delicate carpets and rugs. It does mean that you'll need to stop vacuuming to remove and swap out the bristle roller brush, but they're a good option for those who are particularly concerned about protecting their floors. Wall Mount: The innovative design of the Triflex cordless vacuum enables you to charge it in your preferred configuration – be it with the PowerUnit in the upper or lower position – making the vacuum instantly available to handle life’s unforeseen spills. This vacuum cleaner can be assembled in three different ways, adjusting where the main vacuum cleaner sits for each one, giving more comfort whether you’re using it handheld, as a regular cleaner or to get more reach. Design and featuresHow many times a week you need to vacuum your floors to keep them dust and allergen free is something that's been a concern since the first vacuum cleaners appeared on the market. Although the most expensive Miele cordless vacuum we've tested is not cheap by any means, it's still significantly cheaper than the priciest Samsung cordless vacuum. However, Samsung Bespoke Jet comes with a lot of useful extras such as the wet cleaning mode and an additional battery.
