Miele Triflex HX2 Pro (11827020)
The most honest runtime figures in the category, on the least published suction.
Wins overall by 0.2 points
Quick Verdict
This is close. The Miele Triflex HX2 Pro (11827020) edges ahead by 0.2 points, but that margin is inside the noise — the Dyson V15 Detect Plus is a defensible pick on its own terms. Real 240 air watts and a real laser — but 9 minutes on Boost and a trigger you must hold.
The Dyson V15 Detect Plus and Miele Triflex HX2 Pro (11827020) are both closely matched cordless Vacuum models, and the Dyson V15 Detect Plus is $599 cheaper than the Miele Triflex HX2 Pro (11827020) ($599.99 vs $1,199). On Handling & Ergonomics, the Miele Triflex HX2 Pro (11827020) leads (8.5 vs 6.0/10) — weight, balance, whether power is a push-button or a trigger you must hold, and how it stores. On Suction Power, the Dyson V15 Detect Plus leads (9.5 vs 7.5/10) — actual cleaning force at the head, judged on air watts where a maker publishes them and discounted where only Pa or motor watts are quoted. On Sustained Runtime, the Miele Triflex HX2 Pro (11827020) leads (6.0 vs 4.0/10) — how long the machine really runs on max power with the motorised floor head attached — not the eco-mode, bare-tool figure on the box. Overall, the Miele Triflex HX2 Pro (11827020) scores 7.8/10 across our 8 scoring categories versus 7.6/10 for the Dyson V15 Detect Plus, though the gap is close enough that your specific use case should decide it.

| Spec | Dyson V15 Detect Plus | Miele Triflex HX2 Pro (11827020) |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $599.99 | $1199.00 |
| Release Year | 2021 | 2022 |
| Machine Type | Dry cordless stick vacuum, converts to handheld | Dry cordless stick vacuum, 3-in-1 convertible (top-mount, floor-mount or handheld) |
| Suction (as published) | 240 air watts. Dyson publishes air watts, the only one of the three common numbers that describes work done at the cleaning head | Not published by the manufacturer — Miele publishes three electronic power levels but no air-watt, Pa or motor-watt suction figure |
| Runtime, Eco / Headline (min) | 60 | 60 |
| Runtime, Max Power (min) | 9 | 17✓ |
| What the Runtime Claim Actually Means | Dyson's 'up to 60 minutes' is Eco with a non-powered tool. TechGearLab measured 64 min on low and 9 min on Boost with the Digital Motorbar head fitted. Dyson publishes no per-mode table. | Miele's own support page gives the real table: 60 minutes at MIN level with the PowerUnit alone (no powered head), falling to 14-17 minutes at maximum power with an electrobrush attached. The '120 minutes' on the box is two 60-minute batteries added together |
| Removable Battery | Yes — tool-free click-in battery; one included | Yes — two 25.2 V / 2500 mAh Vortex batteries included, swappable without tools |
| Spare Battery | $99.99 for the genuine Dyson click-in pack (shared with V11, Outsize and V15s Submarine) | $229.00 from Miele USA |
| Dock / Wall Mount | Wall-mounted docking station included; it must be screwed into a wall. No free-standing dock and no auto-empty base exists for this model | Wall mount and charging tray included; there is no floor dock and no auto-empty. The machine free-stands unaided |
| Filtration | Whole-machine sealed filtration with a washable lifetime filter. Dyson's 99.99%-at-0.3-micron claim is stated for Boost mode | Maintenance-free HEPA Lifetime filter, 99.999% dust retention claimed. Miele publishes no whole-machine seal certification |
| Bin / Tank Capacity | 0.77 L bin. Point-and-shoot ejection drives the shroud down through the bin, so your hand never goes near the dust | 0.5 L bin with a bottom release |
| Weight (lbs) | 6.83✓ | 8 |
| Filters, Consumables & Self-Clean | Filter is washable and has no replacement schedule — rinse monthly. Cleaner heads and brush bars are stocked as Dyson spares | The HEPA Lifetime filter is designed never to be replaced, so there is no filter consumable at all. Spare batteries at $229 are the only real running cost |
| Warranty | 24 months | 24 months |
| Colors | Yellow/Nickel | Infinity Grey PearlFinish / Rose Gold |

Pros & Cons
Dyson V15 Detect Plus
Pros
- +240 air watts is a genuine cleaner-head figure, not a sealed-suction Pa number — only Samsung and Levoit publish anything comparable here
- +The laser head makes fine dust on hard floors visible, which changes how you clean rather than just how you feel about it
- +Whole-machine sealed filtration, so what the filter catches does not leak back out through the body
- +A genuine Dyson spare battery is $99.99 — less than half what Miele charges
Cons
- −You hold the trigger down for the entire clean; there is no latch. This is the single most common long-term Dyson complaint
- −Boost mode with the powered head lasts about 9 minutes — the '60 minutes' is Eco with a non-powered tool
- −The dock is a wall bracket that needs drilling; there is no stand in the box and no auto-empty option at any price
- −$600 street and $850 list for a 0.77 L bin you still empty by hand
Miele Triflex HX2 Pro (11827020)
Pros
- +Miele publishes the real runtime table — including 14-17 minutes at max with the electrobrush — where almost every rival publishes only a best case
- +Two batteries included plus a HEPA filter Miele says never needs replacing: the lowest consumable cost in the category
- +The 3-in-1 body lets you put the motor at the floor end for stairs or on top for balance, and it stands up on its own
- +Push-button power, not a held trigger
Cons
- −$1,199 and Miele will not publish a suction figure of any kind, so you cannot compare it on paper with a Dyson or a Samsung
- −Spare batteries are $229 each — more than twice Dyson's $99.99
- −No auto-empty tower is offered at any price, unlike LG and Samsung at lower money
- −The '120 minutes' on the box is two batteries, at minimum power, with no powered head fitted
