The narrow roller is a factor why it couldn’t resist long strands, plus it does not have any combs to untangle them.

I tested the Miele Triflex HX1 with various debris like quaker oats, quinoa, pet litter, sand, coffee grounds, and hair.

An ingenious 3-in-1 design sets the Miele TriFlex HX1 apart from the competition, but it’s very expensive

So when I saw this product, I was a bit surprised, but with the growing interest in cordless vacuums, it shouldn’t come as such. 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. The HX1 Pro is the premium option with the LED-equipped nozzle, which Miele calls the “Multifloor XXL BrilliantLight.”

The good news is it deep cleans carpet as well in the middle setting as it does in the max setting, so the 21-minute figure is above-average. How much power does the Miele Triflex HX1 have? However, don’t expect third-party manufacturers to see Triflex components since it isn’t as popular as a Dyson.How does this compare with its rivals? It’s similar to the Bosch Serie 8 cordless vacuum we reviewed last year and better overall than the cheaper Vax Blade 4 but it lags behind the Dyson V8, V10 and V11.
