Cordless Vacuums / Miele
Miele Triflex HX2 Pro (11827020)
The most honest runtime figures in the category, on the least published suction.
Overall score 7.8/10
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
Miele Triflex HX2 Pro (11827020) review: what the specs say
The most honest runtime figures in the category, on the least published suction. At $1,199, Miele's 2022 model sits at the premium end of the category — the cordless Vacuums we compare run from $129.99 to $1,199. It scores 7.8/10 overall, calculated from published specifications across 8 categories rather than from a subjective impression.
Its strongest showing is Filtration & Sealing at 9.5/10 — whether the whole machine is sealed or a HEPA element simply sits inside a leaky body, and what the claimed rating is actually measured at. The weakest is Value at 5.0/10, which is the trade-off to weigh before buying: if that is the specification you care about most, one of the alternatives below will serve you better.
Worth knowing before you buy: $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; and spare batteries are $229 each — more than twice Dyson's $99.99. Every specification on this page comes from Miele's own documentation or a verified retail listing — where a figure is not published, the table says so rather than estimating it.
