Miele Triflex HX1 Plus

★★★★★ 4.9/5 from 171 Google Reviews  |  Family-owned in Lexington since 1979

Miele cordless power 

Most cordless vacuums make you choose between convenience and performance. The Triflex HX1 Plus doesn't. It delivers the same suction as a conventional corded Miele — on a fully rechargeable, reconfigurable machine that weighs just 8 lbs. For Lexington homes with a mix of hardwood, rugs, and furniture to get under, this is the cordless that actually does the job.

• Three vacuums in one — comfort, reach, and compact modes
• Up to 60 minutes runtime on a single charge
• Full HEPA filtration — 99.999% dust retention, rated for allergy and asthma sufferers
• Auto floor detection — adjusts suction for carpet vs. hard floor automatically
• Tool-free brushroll removal — flip the side flap, pop it out, clean it in minutes

Three modes. One machine.

Move the power unit and the entire machine transforms — no extra tools, no fumbling.

What the "Plus" actually adds over the base HX1

Two real upgrades — not just a different bundle:

For allergy and asthma sufferers: The step from 99.99% to 99.999% dust retention isn't just marketing — it represents a 10x reduction in fine particles that pass through. If anyone in your home is sensitive to pet dander, pollen, or dust mites, the Plus filtration upgrade is worth it on its own.

Why A-1 recommends it

Why We Recommend the Miele HX1 Plus

Most cordless vacuums are disposable. They work brilliantly for eighteen months, then quietly give up. You bin them and buy another one.

The Miele HX1 Plus is built on an entirely different philosophy.

It's configurable like Lego - swap attachments, change the setup, tackle whatever the house throws at you. Baseboards, hard floors, the car, pet hair on a wool rug even wall-to-wall carpet. One machine handles all of it without compromise.

The suction matches a Miele canister. That's not marketing language. That's what our customers tell us after they've used both.

And when something eventually needs attention - years from now, not months - you don't ship it off into the void and hope for the best. You bring it to Moore Drive. We stock the parts. We've been servicing Miele machines for 45 years. We fix it while you wait.

That's the real difference. Not just what it does on day one. But what it still does on day one thousand.

The HX1 Plus is the cordless we point people toward when they want genuine Miele performance without paying flagship prices. Particularly if you have pets, mixed flooring or both.

It's the last cordless you'll need to buy.

How it stacks up

Keeping it running at its best

The HX1 Plus is designed to be low-maintenance — but a few simple habits keep it performing like new for years.

Common questions

Is 60 minutes enough runtime?

For most homes, yes. The 60-minute figure applies to eco mode without the electrobrush attached. With the electrobrush running, expect around 30 minutes on eco or 17 minutes at full power. If your home needs more, a second VARTA battery is available separately and swaps in seconds. The Triflex Pro model ships with two batteries and a battery charging cradle if you'd prefer that out of the box.

What's the difference between the HX1 Plus and the base HX1?

Two meaningful upgrades:

• Better filtration. The Plus includes a full HEPA lifetime filter rated to 99.999% dust retention. The base HX1 uses Miele's "Hygiene Lifetime" filter at 99.99%. The difference matters if anyone in your home has allergies, asthma, or sensitivity to pet dander and fine particles.
• Better upholstery coverage. The XXL upholstery nozzle (SPD 20) is significantly wider than the standard tool — you'll feel the difference on sofas and upholstered chairs, especially with pet hair.

For most Lexington homes, the Plus is the smarter buy. Call us if you'd like to talk it through: 859-278-8445.

How easy is it to clean the brushroll?

Very easy — no tools needed. Unlock the side flap on the electrobrush head, lift it up, and the roller pops right out. Cut away any wrapped hair, wipe down the inside of the brush housing, and snap it back in. Takes about two minutes. Worth doing every couple of months if you have pets or long hair in the house — it makes a real difference in suction. We're happy to demonstrate in-store if you'd like to see it before you buy.

Is this good for pet hair and allergies?

Yes, on both counts. The HEPA lifetime filter captures 99.999% of fine particles — including pet dander, pollen, and dust mites — and seals them inside. The wide electrobrush lifts hair from carpet efficiently, and the included XXL upholstery nozzle handles sofas and pet beds where hair tends to collect. The touch-free Twist2Open bin emptying means you never contact the dust when disposing.

Does it work on both hardwood and carpet?

Yes, and it adjusts automatically. The Multi Floor XXL electrobrush senses the surface type and increases power on carpet, reduces it on hardwood — without you touching a setting. Just keep cleaning.

Should I buy this or the HX2 for $849?

The HX2 has a 60% more powerful motor and a comfort-clean filter system that reduces maintenance frequency. If you have heavy carpet, a larger home, or pets that shed heavily, the HX2 is worth the extra $100. For most homes with mixed flooring and moderate use, the HX1 Plus delivers excellent performance at a better price point. Not sure? Call us — 859-278-8445 — and we'll help you decide.
