his is the best thing ever . i’m inlove cant go back to any others after this one .
This is the best cordless vacuum i have ever owned.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
