Good hoover, but heavy at times but depends on carpet thickness, but it’s not the item that is heavy but the suction is so good it’s difficult to push.
However, depends on your reasoning for this item, but it’s a good hoover and need to empty the canister often, but that’s down to good suction and what it picks up. Best empty often than not, as the longer you leave it as with larger canisters the more the smell. Each to their own preference really, the item is good and does what it says….
LIKES; lightweight, easy to use, adaptable, long life batteries, light on brush head, powerful suction, no over suction on lowest setting, so great for curtains and delicates.
DISLIKES; dust collection container is ridiculously small for such an efficient vacuum cleaner. It’s more like a children’s toy.
COMMENT ON OTHER REVIEWS; others have said it is difficult getting fluff complete looks out of the dust container because it collects around the filter and space is tight, some have resorted to pulling it out with their fingers or a using a stick, however there is an easy trick; remove the filter body from the top of the dust container by an anti-clockwise twist and click of the lid, the filter cradle comes out of the top attached to the lid and the trapped dust/fluff drops out of the bottom trap door without any fuss. Simple and no need to touch the dust at all.
FINALLY A NOTE TO MIELE; include an option to add a flexible hose to make getting into tight spots and cleaning the car easier, just like the Vax Blade 4 Pet & Car cordless. Then you would just about clean up on the competition (excuse pun).
FOLLOW UP; it appears my old Dyson wasn’t picking up dust very well as the dust collection container was filling up quickly. However having used it for a few weeks the amount of dust and fluff has dropped off, not because of lack of suction, but because it has sucked out the bulk of the residual dust from the carpets.
LIKES; easy to use, adaptable, long life batteries, light on brush head, powerful suction, no over suction on lowest setting, so great for curtains and delicates.
DISLIKES; dust collection container is ridiculously small for such an efficient vacuum cleaner. It’s more like a children’s toy. Not sure I can live with this.
COMMENT ON OTHER REVIEWS; others have said it is difficult getting fluff completely out of the dust container because of the limited space around the filters which traps fluff and have resorted to pulling it out with their fingers or a using a stick. This is true if you follow the manufacturers instructions, however it is easy to remove the filter body out from the top of the dust container by an anti-clockwise twist of the lid, the filter cradle comes out attached to the lid and the trapped dust/fluff drops out without any fuss. Simple and no need to touch the dust.
I’ve used and struggled with many Dyson models over the years, including the V range, but until I came across this wonderful Miele I hadn’t realised what a ‘handheld’ is truly capable of. It is well designed, incredibly powerful suction. (I think some reviewers are writing about a different product!). With this unit, I can actually vacuum thick carpets and not just hard floors. Battery life is very good and allows me to vacuum throughout my three bed house, with more to spare! It copes well with dog and cat fur too!
I love the ability to fit the unit on either the top or bottom of the handle, which has eased my back pain! The unit was very easy to put together – no screws! The ability to easily change batteries easily is also welcome.
The negatives? Sadly, it does need emptying.
Highly recommended.
This is great, suction is great for a stick vacuum, especially with the powered head it sucks up everything. It’s a little fiddly to empty but it’s ok once you have the knack. It’s heavy though, probably too heavy for someone elderly. Also it’s expensive, the model I have is listed in mid 500 quid range, I purchased a “used acceptable” which supposedly had major scuff and scratches but it had one mark on the handle which I think was crayon as with a bit of a wipe it’s gone and I saved about 250 quid.
Having done extensive research & tried out several models, this one was the best for adaptability and weight.
This is a really good quality vacuum, and it’s really good to use on all hardwood floors but because the head isn’t adjustable it’s really hard to use on carpeting, so if you’ve got a lot of carpeting then it’s probably better to look for something else
I managed to get this as a Warehouse deal so it was half price, absolute bargain! It is always a risk with a warehouse deal, this was described as new and repackaged, it came in a plain brown box but all still sealed parts. I was replacing a 20 year old Dyson hand held and this is a million times better compared to the Dyson, even to what the Dyson was like when new.
I have a Miele cat and dog cylinder vacuum so wanted to try their handheld. I am not disappointed at all and think the handheld might even take the place of the cylinder.
We have waited a while to write this review so we can really try the Miele hand held cordless vacuum out. We have not been disappointed.
We have always had Dyson vacuums and when my cordless handheld stopped working we needed to look into getting a new one. We had bought a Miele cylinder a few months before to replace a Dyson cylinder, and were so happy with the quality that we knew we didn’t want a Dyson again.
The unit is a joy to use. We have the dust unit fitted at the bottom as this make it easier for me to use as I have weakness in my right shoulder. The power suction is amazing. We have a dog who loves to drop hair, a lot of hair! The unit stands on its own and doesn’t fall over. I have only had to use the lowest setting, (1) to deal with hair from the dog and mess under the table from the Grandchildren. I use it every day.
The only thing I would change or have a tiny problem with is the dust unit. The unit has a chunky part on the back of the dust container and it is difficult to hold when emptying. It would be good to have somewhere to put your fingers through. Not something that would have put me off from purchasing it.
If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Great product from a well known company.. Excellent value for money. We have always had kitchen appliances from Miele and now we have vacuums from them.
. A little bit difficult to change parts as the buttons are abit hard. If you work it on the lowest power then yeh it last you three/four rooms . On full power barely lounge and another room. Suction is good
Great cordless vacuum cleaner
Runs rings around Dyson.. Yeah it’s not cheap but neither are Dysons and they are like Fisher price toys compared to this Miela
I have two of these now because they are so good. They are heavy, but are robust. The suction from them is fantastic. I have the ordinary one and a Cat and Dog both are worth the money. Look out for deals to make this an exceptional buy
Exactly what i was looking for, really powerful suction on cordless vacuum and once is engine down, very lightweight.
I want something that cleans Powerfully and doesn’t take up too much space.
THIS IS IT. 🙂
HOWEVER.. The designer of the Battery had
HUGE HANDS and HUGE OPPOSABLE THUMBS
Making us mere Gals having to struggle to change it…. and I mean STRUGGLE.
Its disappointing.
I was very sceptical about this and spent ages trying to find the rated power (it was in the product description I later discovered). Our previous corded Miele was 1600W and so I though how can this small 185W motor possibly be any good? However I took Miele at their word when they said it was comparable to their corded C3 which is 900W (I think). I can confirm that it works very well and the ease of use going from a cord to cordless is a game changer. The only part of the design which is poor is the cradle which sticks out of the wall far more than necessary and is mostly hollow unused space. It would have been nice if the cradle had the electrical connection so you don’t have to fiddle around trying to find the socket . Also the instructions don’t say how long it takes to charge (it does says 4 hours for first time of use I suppose a bit less when it has been used till flat). A rough guide to charging times would help. My wife used it for the first time today and we both agree it is an excellent product.
Love this vacuum Cleaner. So much suction, spare battery, long running time. Completely knocks the rival Dyson,Vax etc. Out of the running. It cost a little bit more but so worth it!!
It’s just awesome, I love all things Miele, and this lives up to their reputation perfectly.
It does all the house easily.
My only slight criticism is that its a bit heavy for me when used for cobwebbing.
Just a solid, dependable and reliable cordless, well worth the hefty pricetag in my view
Fantastic vacuum cleaner, lightweight and very quiet. Easy to use. It’s almost a fight as to who will do the vacuuming now. Recommend highly.
It may have a small dust collection bin but it’s easy to use great at picking up and well balanced when the main body is down low like an upright . Really pleased with this cleane
Fantastic suction power I find the actual hose length rather long for me as I am only 4’10” and a bit heavier to handle than other cordless I have purchased but the suction power is the best I have ever bought so yes I would definitely recommend this Miele
I compared this with a Dyson V11 on carpets and lino. I went over both areas with the Dyson. It picked up some dirt.
I then went over the same area with the Miele a few minutes later. Despite having just vacuumed both areas with the Dyson, the Miele picked up up MORE then the Dyson on a second pass. The Miele is a bit heavier than the Dyson, but no where near a game changer IMHO. Plus, you can put the Miele motor near the floor for better handling.
QED
This was bought to replace our cordless Dyson. Yes, very much more expensive but on a completely different level when it comes to suction and manoeuvrability. Absolutely superb machine, we are delighted with this purchase.
Nothing to dislike. Battery has lasted far longer than I perceived.
very easy and light to use . best of all no cables to trip ove
Absolutely amazing, it is so easy to use. The quality is superb. suction is outstanding along with the easy way it goes across floors and carpets. We own another leading brand, the Miele is miles ahead with quality manoeuvrability and suction.
Best hoover ever. Cleans like no other I’ve had, a bit heavy but the suction is superb
We like the cleaner excellent manoeuvrability in upright mode. A bit awkward to change to hand held and a bit heavy when compared to the Dyson it’s replacing. Overall pleased with the purchase
I’m shocked at how great this vacuum was in just one use! I got Persian cats during lockdown one in the uk and as they’ve got bigger so has the amount of hair they have! My shark just didn’t pick up anything when it came to cat fur. My carpet feels new, and I could see every single tiny bit of dirt disappear from my concrete floor and my wooden. Having no wires to lug around just makes the job a million times quicker and easier. I am so damn happy.
Decent overall performance with excellent suction. I have cleaned my small 3 bed semi-detached house on one battery charge…albeit with several bin changes.
Disadvantages of this product have to be the bin capacity, however it did not stop me from buying it, and the battery charging obstructs nearly all my electrical sockets.
Benefits definitely outweigh the disadvantages. I cannot claim to have tried other leading products but a distinct step up from my DC04!
Vacuuming our wood, tiled and carpeted floors. A little difficult to clean filters
yes, so I do have 24 days still to try this and return it and No, I don’t need to! I’ve gone over my 1 year old deep-pile carpet, cleaned religiously with both Philips speed-pro and dyson small ball since purchase and the stuff this triflex has sucked up is disgusting. If you love trackmarks in your carpet the triflex is for you. if you struggle with heavy stick cleaners its for you.
Some reviews have said it’s heavy in stick mode, however I found it very well balanced and, due to the wheels on the brush head, much easier to move over carpet than my old stick cleaner. Even with severe breathing problems I have coped with this – whereas I had to sit on the floor to manage my old stick hoover. It was pricey but god I love this triflex.
If you have hand mobility problems you might find the bin tricky as it requires you to twist the lid to remove and then another twist to open, and the bin fills quickly. Again you might also find it tricky to reconfigure it (standard cleaner, stick cleaner, hand held) which requires some hand strength. However you do always have the option to get it on the 90 day trial and give it a go, before committing to another cleaner that won’t give you that option.
my best friend from now on! Collects more dirt that any other hoovers I owned ever did all together. Battery lasts quite some time and easy to use.
Excellent vacuum cleaner. Easy to use and very effective vacuum cleaner. The combination of its suction power and its electric brush is very good on carpets and hard surface floors. The right tool to make vacuum cleaning lean – at least 20% compared to a normal vacuum cleaner. It can be a bit tricky to empty the dust container in the beginning but once you have tried it a few times it is easy. It is recommended to read the manual to get it right from the beginning – also the filter cleaning.
The light in the brush head is an excellent additional feature. Very good value for the money.
Only one negative and that is not much space until drum is full. Otherwise very happy.
RECOMMENDED – you won’t regret i
Lovely powerful vacuum but with Ltd battery life on full power. It’s great for in-between proper vacuuming, so will still keep my mains powered Miele.
Battery life is very short and the brush on the head keep sticking you need to use scissor to remove the dirty hair so you can get back the vacuum cleaner working
As my personal view my old Henry much better just only problem it’s with the cable and you need to plug i
Finally a cordless vacuum that ticks all the boxes!! Had a cordless Dyson for a few years but had so many issues with it so decided to bite the bullet and go with the recommendation of a Miele. Can’t fault it apart from no light on the front as advertised.
Great product. Many available on Amazon Warehouse deals. If you get them at that price point, you are lucky!
Bought this model because of extra battery producing a total 60 mins use time. certainly picks up well. my only issue is the size of dirt collector, needs very regular emptying, probably 4 times an hours use, but similar vacs seem to have the same issue
My wife has been struggling to vacuum our floors for a while so during lockdown we decided to look at cordless vacuum cleaners.Being a Miele user we ordered the new Triflex HX1 cat and dog from Amazon ,my wife says its fabulous so light/powerful (a quality product) as usual from Miele.
This is an easy vacuum to use. It’s surprisingly powerful and copes very well with the many hairs shed by my dog. My only difficulty is that, with arthritic hands, emptying the dust out is a little awkward.
Dust box very small for jobs. Good suction power. Approx 20 mins use per charge
up to now used only for floor cleaning .The machine is extremely quiet.The light is a real plus too.Briefly tried the hand unit.Found it very heavy to use and to disassemble the machine in the above position.I wonder now whether I should have bought a vacuum and separate handheld with abetter range of tools.Overall it is brilliantly engineerd As a big fan of Miele Ii shall persevere.
So, it comes well presented and inside the box you get the vacuum, wall mount, charger and three accessories. Instantly I love the fact there’s a wall mount included. It looks superb and assembling it you can feel the quality.
There are 3 configurations to it. You can configure it as a traditional stick stle, as a handheld or a hybrid utilising the handle to reach areas high above etc. It is very versatile. It doesn’t feel flimsy or creaky and is nice and reassuringly solid. Once assembled I plugged it in and waited a few hours ofr the battery to fully charge, Some models come with a second battery and a desktop charger but that can also be bought separately although availability is limited at time of review asd the product is so new.
There are 3 power levels all of which affect run time accordingly. Turning it on the vacuum makes a pleasing sound that’s not overly intrusive. The motorised brush head literally seals itself to the floor and during movement you can hear little puffs where the seal breaks. Its superb. It adjusts automatically from carpet to hard floor and to be honest the amount it picked up you’d swear I hadn’t vacuumed in years. It’s astounding.
Emptying it is reasonably straightforward and the can holds a decent amount. I’d say you probably need to empty it at least once doing an average house.
I lamented my Bosch that although great as a stick, had tools that were impractical to use and the dyson wasn’t capable of being a full house cleaner. It’s a futuristic and well designed vacuum that I really enjoy using.
First of all, this is a heavy cleaner and not for the faint hearted. It feels and performs like a high quality corded vacuum and is as powerful as one. Being cordless, the amount of suction power is quite simply, stunning. In use on carpets it does exactly what it should and does it with ease. On longer pile carpets it can be a bit of a problem, but by turning the power to 1 (out of 3) it makes the job easier – best of all, even on lower power it still works brilliantly.
At first, all the fitting together is somewhat tight and a bit stiff, but after a few days of use and having emptied the dust etc out, it all soon becomes easier (and friendlier) to use. The ‘heads’ that come with the cleaner are OK but come nowhere near the usability of the carpet one. This head is wider and flatter than most and does the job better than most corded vacuums I have ever used. The extension tube is straight, heavy and very well made. It is long enough to be helpful in that you don’t need to bend whilst cleaning – good for back sufferers like me.
The ‘motor’ unit can be placed at either end of the extension tube, giving it more versatility. Although it is best fitted low down for carpets etc as it becomes much more comfortable to use – it can be quite top heavy if you fit the motor to the top of the extension tube.
As this is such an amazing cleaner the dust bowl fills very quickly (my wife says it is, like most of these cordless cleaners, too small) and it can be quite fiddly when emptying it, meaning you often need to pull out the bits, especially if like us you have a small dog that tends to leave hair all over the place.
Of course there are a couple of negatives, such as the dust collector being too small and the whole thing being very heavy for a cordless cleaner, but these are not enough to lose even one star,
This is a Miele product and like all Miele products, it is designed and made to a very high standard and should last for many years. Yes the battery charge does not last long (although with this cleaner you do get TWO batteries), but it cleans quickly and efficiently. The whole unit is heavy, possibly too heavy for some of you, but the weight is necessary to perform as well as it does. The unit can be lifted onto a charging plate for ease of storage and keeping it fully charged – it can also charge the second battery in its own special charger (GREAT IDEA MIELE). Finally it is an amazing cleaner that does a brilliant job.
In my opinion you will be hard pressed to get a cordless cleaner that actually does the job of keeping your carpets clean and looking good with any other cleaner. Yes it is expensive, yes it is a bit heavy, but if you want quality in a cleaner and you (like us0 want your carpets to always look the best, then it must be Miele all the way.
