Side-by-Side Comparison
| Spec | Miele Triflex HX2 Pro (11827020) | Samsung Bespoke AI Jet Ultra (VS90F40DMK/AA) |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $1199.00 | $847.00 |
| Release Year | 2022 | 2025 |
| Machine Type | Dry cordless stick vacuum, 3-in-1 convertible (top-mount, floor-mount or handheld) | Dry cordless stick vacuum with a bagged auto-empty Clean Station |
| Suction (as published) | Not published by the manufacturer — Miele publishes three electronic power levels but no air-watt, Pa or motor-watt suction figure | 400 air watts. Samsung publishes air watts, so this is directly comparable with Dyson's 240 AW rather than a Pa number |
| Runtime, Eco / Headline (min) | 60 | 100✓ |
| Runtime, Max Power (min) | 17✓ | 16 |
| What the Runtime Claim Actually Means | 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 | Samsung publishes the whole table instead of a single best case: 100 minutes on minimum, 49 on mid, 16 on max and 1 minute in Jet mode. The 100-minute headline is the lowest setting |
| Removable Battery | Yes — two 25.2 V / 2500 mAh Vortex batteries included, swappable without tools | Sources conflict: Samsung and RC Willey list the battery as removable, while Abt's spec sheet for the same SKU lists it as non-removable. One battery is included either way |
| Spare Battery | $229.00 from Miele USA | Not published by the manufacturer |
| Dock / Wall Mount | Wall mount and charging tray included; there is no floor dock and no auto-empty. The machine free-stands unaided | All-in-One Clean Station included — free-standing, charges, stores tools and auto-empties. Needs roughly 14 inches of floor width |
| Filtration | Maintenance-free HEPA Lifetime filter, 99.999% dust retention claimed. Miele publishes no whole-machine seal certification | Multi-cyclonic with HEPA; Samsung claims 99.999% of fine dust captured. The station is bagged, so emptying never exposes you to the dust |
| Bin / Tank Capacity | 0.5 L bin with a bottom release | 0.5 L on-board bin; 2 L bagged Clean Station, which Samsung says holds up to two months of debris |
| Weight (lbs) | 8 | 7✓ |
| Filters, Consumables & Self-Clean | 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 | The Clean Station uses disposable dust bags — three in the box, more must be bought, and that is the permanent running cost. On-board filters are washable |
| Warranty | 24 months | 24 months |
| Colors | Infinity Grey PearlFinish / Rose Gold | Satin Black |
Category Scores
Suction Power
The Samsung Bespoke AI Jet Ultra (VS90F40DMK/AA) leads clearly here, 10.0 against 7.5 — a 2.5-point margin on 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. If that is what you are buying for, the Miele Triflex HX2 Pro (11827020) does not close the gap elsewhere.
Sustained Runtime
The Samsung Bespoke AI Jet Ultra (VS90F40DMK/AA) leads clearly here, 6.5 against 6.0 — a 0.5-point margin on 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. If that is what you are buying for, the Miele Triflex HX2 Pro (11827020) does not close the gap elsewhere.
Filtration & Sealing
The Miele Triflex HX2 Pro (11827020) leads clearly here, 9.5 against 9.0 — a 0.5-point margin on 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.

Maintenance & Emptying
The Miele Triflex HX2 Pro (11827020) leads clearly here, 9.5 against 9.0 — a 0.5-point margin on bin or tank emptying, whether your hand ends up near the dust, self-clean quality and the ongoing cost of filters, bags and detergent. If that is what you are buying for, the Samsung Bespoke AI Jet Ultra (VS90F40DMK/AA) does not close the gap elsewhere.
Battery System
The Miele Triflex HX2 Pro (11827020) leads clearly here, 8.0 against 7.0 — a 1.0-point margin on removable or sealed, how many packs are included, what a spare costs and whether the pack is shared across a range.

Versatility
The Miele Triflex HX2 Pro (11827020) leads clearly here, 8.5 against 8.0 — a 0.5-point margin on handheld conversion, above-floor tools, carpet capability and wet-mopping ability. If that is what you are buying for, the Samsung Bespoke AI Jet Ultra (VS90F40DMK/AA) does not close the gap elsewhere.
Value
The Samsung Bespoke AI Jet Ultra (VS90F40DMK/AA) leads clearly here, 6.0 against 5.0 — a 1.0-point margin on what you actually get for the street price once consumables and missing accessories are counted.

Pros & Cons
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
Samsung Bespoke AI Jet Ultra (VS90F40DMK/AA)
Pros
- +400 air watts, published in the same unit Dyson uses — the strongest honestly comparable number on this page
- +Samsung publishes a complete per-mode runtime table rather than one best case; almost nobody else in the category does
- +The bagged Clean Station empties the vacuum for you and keeps your hands out of the dust entirely
- +10-year motor warranty and full SmartThings integration
Cons
- −Jet mode — the setting that produces the 400 AW headline — runs for one minute
- −The Clean Station needs about 14 inches of floor width and is loud enough to be a problem near a bedroom
- −Bags are a permanent consumable; LG's rival tower is bagless
- −Street price has swung between roughly $500 and $1,100 within a year, and stock has been patchy at Best Buy, Samsung and Abt
