Four models, one platform: In addition to the classic suction variants, the Triflex series also includes a device with a wiping function.
Foundation Warentest named the predecessor of the Triflex series the test winner. Now Miele is following up with the «Triflex HX3 series». According to the manufacturer, the appliances run longer than before. For the first time, a variant also cleans wet.
What the variants have in common
All appliances have the same technology under the bonnet.
Motor, battery and runtime
A «Digital Efficiency Motor» works inside the models. In terms of performance, it is said to come close to the motors of hoovers. The motor runs at 25.2 volts. Power is supplied by a lithium-ion battery with 2500 mAh. Without the electric brush attached, the appliance vacuums for up to 70 minutes at a time. With the brush attached, the battery lasts up to 38 minutes on the low setting and another fifteen minutes on the high setting. The appliance weighs 3.6 kilograms.
Display, suction power levels and boost mode
The display shows the remaining running time, suction power level and battery status. You can regulate the suction power electronically in three stages. There is also a boost mode. It increases the power by 42 per cent for ten seconds to tackle heavily soiled areas.
«FloorDetect» and «BrilliantLight»
The electric brush contains the «FloorDetect» technology. It automatically recognises whether you are vacuuming over a hard floor or carpet. This actually works, as I was able to try out at a trade fair a few days ago. On hard floors, the brush roller rotates more slowly, protecting the battery and flooring. On carpet, the power picks up automatically.
An LED strip («BrilliantLight») at the front of the electric brush shines flat across the floor. This makes dust, hair and fine particles visible.
Filter and container emptying without skin contact
Filtration is provided by a HEPA filter that you don't need to replace. Turn the filter lid a few times during everyday use. This causes adhering particles to fall into the dust container. However, you should clean the filter more thoroughly with water every three months.
As with other stick hoovers, you empty the dust container at the touch of a button. The contents then fall directly into the waste bin.
3-in-1 design with selfstand
You can use the vacuum cleaner in three configurations: In comfort mode, the drive unit sits on top. This variant is suitable for larger areas. In compact mode, the Triflex serves as a handheld vacuum cleaner for tables, upholstery or the car. In reach mode, the tube is angled so that you can get under low furniture more easily.
Not all stick vacuums can do this: The Triflex has a selfstand and stands freely in the room. You don't have to lean it against anything or put it down to quickly clear away a toy or sock.
Standard accessories included
The standard accessories for all four models include a vacuum brush, an upholstery nozzle and the crevice nozzle HX-CN. There is also an accessory holder, wall bracket and power supply unit.
For getting started: Triflex HX3
The basic model in white is the entry-level model in the HX3 family. Its dust container holds 0.3 litres, which is less than the other three variants with 0.5 litres. In addition, the electric brush does not light up.
The appliance is particularly suitable for single-person households or smaller flats.
For households with animals: Triflex HX3 Cat & Dog
The cat & dog version in black is for anyone who needs to remove the hair of their four-legged friends from upholstery and carpets. This is ensured by the additional attachment, a small motorised electric brush with a rotating roller.
The main brush for everyday use is called «MultiFloor XXL». The dust container holds 0.5 litres.
For long cleaning sessions and hard floors: Triflex HX3 Plus
The Plus model in the «Titanium Pearl» finish offers more options. Firstly, a second battery is included. This allows you to vacuum for up to 140 minutes without interruption. This variant is therefore suitable for larger flats or houses where a single battery charge is not enough.
Another difference is the «Hardfloor-Care-Tool». The attachment replaces the rotating hard bristle brush of the MultiFloor nozzle with a soft nylon roller. It is gentle on sensitive surfaces such as parquet, oiled wood or natural stone.
Vacuuming and mopping combined: Triflex HX3 Aqua
The Aqua version in black is the most comprehensive model and also cleans wet. The AquaTwister attachment supplied transforms the hoover into a mop. Two rotating pads on the underside of the attachment scrub the hard floor. The scope of delivery includes two pads and 500 millilitres of universal cleaner.
For pure vacuuming, this model also comes with the «MultiFloor XXL» with «BrilliantLight».
Miele is offering a cashback promotion for this model.
