    A little bit of a faff to empty initially but you get better at it! Very good suction both on carpets and hard floor. Reasonable amount of time on Eco before needing to be recharged. Great that you can separate it to a smaller hand-held vacuum. Quiet in use and having used over the last couple of months would recommend.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersExcellent cleaning time from a battery charge; this was a major reason for purchase as we have a large house and the Dyson we have (admittedly an older model now, V6 Animal) does only one room before needing a recharge. This Miele takes longer to charge but seems to keep going for ages in comparison. The cleaning power is also good and it adjusts automatically for the type of floor and thickness of carpet. The only disadvantege is that the dust container is very small so needs frequent emptying and it is a bit stiff to empty if you have arthritic hands.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersThis is an excellent vacuum cleaner. The battery has a reasonable length of use on a full charge and the suction is quite powerful. It is also light and very manoeuvrable. The only downside is the small dustbox; the hoovering of one carpet can fill it. I might add two other minor niggles here: the dark coloured plastic of the dustbox makes it difficult to see exactly how full the box is, and the emptying of the dustbox is not as easy as one would expect (the bits you have to “unscrew” are quite stiff). There are some very useful attachments, especially the stair carpet brush.

    More or less the price should be arround 300 , suction is good , a second battery would be advisible although with one battery which is still new I can clean a large 5 bedroom property . Its okay but not standing up to miele reputation.

    Very pleased with the suction power and quietness of this cleaner compared to the Bosch model it replaced, and am also happy to pay extra for the continued European manufacturing used by Miele. The easily swappable batteries are also a hugely useful feature, meaning it isn’t necessary to throw out the entire cleaner when the battery capacity inevitably reduces after a few years.

    The flexibility to reconfigure the cleaner in handheld or stick modes is also useful, although we tend to mostly use it with the motor unit at the bottom due it being able to self-stand in this mode.

    The only negatives so far relate to the dust canister, which due to the suction power of the cleaner requires emptying after every significant use and could do with being a bit larger. The canister has a relatively complex opening mechanism which can be fiddly to start with, but is fine once you get used to the three ’11, 10 and 9 o’clock’ positions for rotating the locking mechanism.

    All in all, very pleased with this so far after a month or so of use.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersLIKES; 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 completely 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 on this machine 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.

    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.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI read quite a few wildly contrasting reviews of the Miele while trying to decide if it was worth the extra cost. We bought this one from Amazon Warehouse so the cost was much less, but either way it is an excellent machine. Great suction, good battery life, very manoeuvrable and easy to empty. We got the version with two batteries – a good idea if you have a larger area, but one is enough for a good whizz round. Bear in mind that these stick vacuum cleaners can never replace a good main powered machine for a thorough whole house deep clean, and are not intended to. But they are excellent for a quick clean of a room or two, stairs, hall landing etc. without having to wheel out the big machine. I am impressed with the suction and battery life. It is easy to reconfigure – but once you find your favourite configuration you are unlikely to change it often. The clips can be stiff, but that’s because the engineering tolerances are tight to ensure good suction. No point having loose connections! The dust bag is plenty big enough. If you are filling it on less than one battery run then you have the wrong tool for your amount of “dust” and your carpet must be a right mess!

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersThe charger needs to be slightly pulled out from socket to allow the switch to be off. When fully inserted into socket the switch is permanently on. Just a small detail that Miele should have dealt with by slightly reducing the width of the charger. Overall I am very pleased with the Triflex Cat & Dog especially at the Amazon special offer price of 395. After I complained to Miele about the design of the charger, they have kindly supplied me with Miele HX-LS cradle charger free of charge. Thumbs up to Miele for customer care.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Charger does not allow switch to be off.

    This is an excellent vacuum cleaner, good quality plastics with a solid construction, Corners well, and gets into tight corners, the foot collects dust right into the corners and removes dog hair from rugs and dog beds efficiently.

    However, there are two downsides, there is polystyrene in the packaging (so twentieth century) and why oh why is the wall hanger not the charger, you have to instead plug it into a wall charger with a fiddly plug into the weirdly shaped battery.
    Come on Miele, you can do better than that.

    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.

    Golden Review Award: 18 From Our UsersAfter a couple of years of owning the Dyson V8 and putting up with a number of frustrations with it (including getting through 2 batteries) I decided to do a bit of research on an alternative. The Miele had a good rating from a number of sites, and having a good impression of other Miele appliances we’ve had, I decided to buy one.

    Good Points:
    Suction is impressive, even on the low setting. Seems considerably higher than the Dyson and the speed with which it fills the bin with (mostly) dust is amazing.

    Flexibility is good from the point of view that it has 3 modes. As the main unit is quite heavy, we favour the mode where the unit is at the bottom rather than the top – it’s much more balanced this way. As a handheld, it’s quite bulky for things like cleaning the car but it’s powerful.

    Battery life seems very good, we haven’t managed to exhaust the battery pack in a day of cleaning.

    Storage of the unit is great for us as it will stand up on its own when the motor unit is installed on the bottom. We haven’t tried the wall mount because it can be so easily free-standing. It clicks into an upright position and can stand in a corner somewhere. One of the big issues we had with the Dyson was that it was so unstable and top-heavy. It was constantly falling over and the plastic body was seriously cracked from this.

    It’s a good looking piece of kit and I favour its classic style over the Dyson’s more futuristic look.

    Bad Points:
    The collection bin is this sweeper’s Achilles’ Heel. It’s too small for one thing, and fills up quickly. Detaching it from the unit when it’s full is also fiddly and stiff. Turn the top cover too far and you’ll dump the contents all over the floor and your feet as you take the bin off the motor unit. When you come to empty it into a waste bin, it always requires raking out – there’s nothing to push the contents out and it’s too small a space to allow the contents to drop out, because they’re always relatively tightly packed. This is something of a pain. Then, putting it back on the unit is likewise fiddly and stiff.

    The standard brush head is quite big and too big to go under a number of items of furniture in our house (which the Dyson went under without a problem).

    So far though, these are the only negatives and we’re very happy with the Miele.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersWas a bit sceptical about moving away from the conventional corded vacuum but so far this vacuum has proved to be a great purchase.
    The vacuum can be formed into different sizes to suit requirements. This is easily done by interchanging the various component parts. You can build it into a long handle or short handle variant and vice versa as the cleaning situation determines. The parts connect well and are fairly intuitive but over time I don’t know how robust the connections will remain. The dust collection cylinder is transparent and you can easily see the contents and decide when to empty , although capacity does seem quite small. The majority of the contents empty freely but some assistance is required to clean it thoroughly – we use a small metal peg / wire to ease out any contents remaining.
    The vacuum is light and easy to manoeuvre ( a lot lighter than the traditional cylinder) and there is no plug / cable to get in the way when working.
    The battery gives about 15 – 30 mins use before it runs down. There isn’t much warning ( a couple of lights begin flashing as a warning – before lights out).
    We bought an additional charger and battery to cover this eventuality.
    All in all a great vacuum, expensive but so far so good – Miele are known for there quality and resilience, no reason to believe this will be otherwise.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersI’ve been using this for about two months now and I still love it.

    It’s standout feature really is being able to put the motor at the bottom which is the configuration mine spends about 99% of its time in.

    The waste bin thing seems clunky at first, especially if you’ve ever used a Dyson equivalent, but by day two you’re used to it. Being able to swap the batteries during use makes this a super credible plug-in replacement.. I’ve not missed my reasonably performing mains powered vacuum once since I’ve had this.

    I do wish it would charge on the dock without having to lean around and plug the adaptor in. If you get this version with the separate charging cradle (which seems to charge the batteries really quickly, by the way) then you might not be that bothered by it.

    The accessories feel a bit old fashioned but on the flip-side don’t feel gimmicky and do work well enough. We’ll call them classic.

    The light is good. Having a power switch instead of a trigger is great.

    Overall I’d say it’s just worth the money (it really is quite expensive). The performance is brilliant, the looks are classy (not…. gaudy (Dyson)) and I think it will age really well.

    I’m really happy with it and expect to enjoy it for many years to come.

    Golden Review Award: 16 From Our UsersIncredible suction on this lightweight cordless vacuum. I bought it to replace a heavy corded model from another manufacturer and I am delighted with the Miele performance. The most demanding setting lasts for 12 minutes of battery power – more than enough to finish the task throughout our 3 bedroom bungalow. The medium power setting is also very good and extends the battery by another 30 mins or so. You do, of course, have to work out how best to cope with dust disposal from the bagless canister, but that is true of all bagless vacuums, I guess. 5 stars for suction, weight and manoeuvrability. So why not 5 stars overall? Because I had to send it back after 5 weeks of fairly light use for what turned out to be a faulty battery. Not at all what you expect for 500. Miele replaced it fairly quickly, but the whole thing was an unnecessary hassle and involved a robust telephone exchange with Miele about whether it was Amazon’s problem or Miele’s. Miele accepted the problem and the machine has now been returned with a new battery. It’s all working again as of today, but if it goes again in another 5 weeks – or even 5 months – I will be re-visiting here to radically downgrade the product.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersI’ve had this Miele for over a week now and used it several times. I bought it to replace a Dyson Absolute and a Miele corded Cat and Dog. The Pros: the suction power is incredible. It picks up so much in comparison to the Dyson. Great that you don’t have to change heads to go from hard surfaces to carpet. Unlike some reviewers, I love the light. I don’t think it’s a gimmick at all. It really helps you see what’s hiding in the corners and around skirting boards. I’m getting plenty of power from one battery to do the whole apartment (we’re on three floors) so may not have needed the extra battery. But I don’t always do all the vacuuming in one go. The Cons: the price, of course, but you are getting the quality you’d expect from anything by Miele; it is heavier than the Dyson; the dust container seems quite small so I have to empty it several times when using but that does show how effective it is; I’ve also found it hard to release the tube, etc – I have to put my foot on the head while pressing the button; it doesn’t go as flat as the Dyson so while I can vacuum under the bed, I’ll keep the Dyson to get under the sofas. Rather disappointed that I’ve had to spend even more to buy the small head for doing the stairs as the main head is too unwieldy. Is it worth the money? On the whole, yes, just for the incredible suction. My corded Miele has been a trusty workhorse for years and this is a definite step forward.
