Our group of vetted critics adore the Miele Triflex HX1 handheld vacuum cleaner for its portability, modularity, and easy maintenance. They also love its performance on hard floors, owing to its automatic surface detection sensor.
But they heavily disliked its overall suction power, thin brush roll that is ineffective against fine debris, and poor performance on high-pile carpets.

Overview
The Miele Triflex HX1 is the brand’s mid-range cordless stick vacuum cleaner that was first launched in 2019, promising intuitive three-in-one functionality on all floor types and staircases.
Ranking among the best-rated vacuum cleaners in its range, this model has an smart automatic surface detection sensor, which simplifies switching between carpets and hard floors.
It has a decent battery life and boasts a lightweight construction that suits cleaning stairs and vehicles. Learn more about the features of the Miele Triflex HX1 below and browse our iRobot H1 review if you prefer a robot vacuum.
Critics unanimously applauded the Miele Triflex HX1, recommending it for bare floors and carpets. It clocked in at a decent 34 minutes in battery life tests. However, if you need a longer-lasting battery, see our LG CordZero A9 Ultimate review.
Although it has a non-HEPA filter, it prevented small particles from leaking during testing. However, if you prefer a HEPA filter, check out our Roborock H6 Adapt review.
RTINGS experts reported an astounding 99% large debris pick-up rate on hard surfaces and 82% on low-pile carpets during their experiments. However, critics from Real Homes beamoned its small 0.25L dust cup.
However, reviewers were displeased with its 0.41 kPa suction power, picking up just 77% of the large debris on high-pile carpets. Check out the RYOBI 18V One+ 3 Gal. Project Wet/Dry review for a more effective vacuum on high-pile carpets.

While the Miele Triflex HX1 has an automatic adjustment function, the Dyson V15 Detect doesn’t have such a feature. The Dyson vacuum, on the other hand, has a HEPA filter, which the Miele vacuum lacks. Weighing just 6.46 lbs, the Dyson is more portable than the 8.18-lb HX1.

The Miele Triflex HX1 is very similar to the Miele Triflex HX2. Both vacuums have a monocyclonic filtration system with a non-HEPA filter and both feature a modular design. However, unlike the HX1 (this review), the HX2 features LED lights for illuminating dark sports under furniture.

Unlike the Miele Triflex HX1, the Samsung Jet 90 has an anti-allergy HEPA filter and boasts has a bigger 0.5L compartment, which requires less frequent emptying than the HX1’s 0.25L dust cup. The Samsung vacuum also has a better 61-minute battery life that dwarfs the 34-minute runtime of the Miele.
