Our Miele TriFlex HX1 vacuum gets better the more we use it. Our house is cleaner. There is less dust on the furniture and in the air. I can see it largely replacing our traditional Miele canister. We can concentrate on vacuuming floors, corners, under furniture without dragging canisters, replugging electrical cords, changing vacuum heads for different surfaces, etc. The TriFlex vacuums easily and quickly - even upholstered furniture - with its power and auto-adjusting head for different surfaces.
Emptying the dirt bin gets easier as it’s used. As noted in my initial review, like a clock with the wand being (12), rotate the bin lid (not the bin) counterclockwise (11) to lift the bin from the HX1 and then further (10) to empty the bin when its bottom automatically opens. However, rotate the lid back clockwise (11) - not (12) - and manually push the bin bottom closed until it locks. Then reseat the bin onto the HX1 using the guides on the wand. When reseated, rotate the lid back to (12) and you will see the dirt bin tighten and lock onto the HX1.
As noted below, the HX1 dirt bin top is a filter unit with 3 filters fitted inside each other. The bin top twists out of/into the bin, and the 2 inner filters pull directly from the bin top. We use a soft whisk hand broom to clean the filters. As noted, the center filter has a small projection on its top - with 3 lines - that must be repositioned correctly to fit the HEPA over it. To reposition the center filter correctly, one of the 3 lines should point to the wand (12).
Finally, one lithium ion battery is sufficient to clean our house. However, we try to stop vacuuming when only one light is lit to protect the battery. We generally understand that these batteries should be kept at least 30% charged to prolong the battery life.
*******
We have used Miele vacuums for years and found them durable and repairable. After reading reviews and videos, we bought a Mieli Triflex HX1 because it was reputed to be reliable and was cheaper than the new HX2. Although we thought the improved motor would be useful, we thought the HX1 would be good enough for the price.
Following are comments about the HX1 that we didn’t see in the reviews. The HX1 is sturdy, convenient to use and gets dirt that we miss with our Miele canister vacuum.
Our house is a bit less than 2000 ft². It’s all hardwood floors with tile floors in the bathrooms. We have thick and thin area rugs. The HX1 automatically adjusts its brush speed for the surface being vacuumed, and the HX1 handled all these surfaces at its lowest vacuum setting just fine.
It’s reported that the HX1 has better suction at its lowest setting than many others. Meaning, it can vacuum well for a longer period of time. One battery charge gets much - but not all of our house. Notably, the HX1 power doesn’t weaken as its battery is used.
The HX1 is much quieter than our Miele canister vacuum. Its vacuum head is lower and smaller making it easier to get around and under stuff. The few times the HX1 vacuum head is too close to the floor to get over some dirt, it’s no big deal to lift the head off the floor to place it on the dirt. And the HX1 does a good job of sucking in dirt around the edges of its vacuum head and along wall edges.
The motor/dirt bin can be fitted at the top of the long wand or at the bottom on the vacuum head. My wife prefers the motor/bin at the top because she says it’s easier to vacuum. I prefer the bottom position because I find it lighter on my arm, and it may improve suction by putting more weight on the vacuum head. In both positions, the handle and motor/bin can be turned sideways to lower the HX1 profile and more easily vacuum under furniture.
The handle, motor/bin and wand have slots/guides to keep these parts better attached to each other, and there are printed instructions on the motor/bin. Note that the dirt bin is on the top of the motor in the bottom position and underneath the motor in the top position. You may find one position easier than the other to remove the bin.
We have a dog whose fur is largely invisible on the hardwood floors– until furballs show up. The HX1 sucked up the fur easily, but it filled the dirt bin several times to do our house. I figure that’s OK. It may help the HX1 vacuum better when there’s less dirt to draw the air through.
Emptying the dirt bin was fiddly at first because the bin parts fit securely together. The bin lid twists, the bottom opens automatically and closes manually by pushing until it locks, and there is an internal filter unit which is easily removed for cleaning the bin and filters. I just had to pay attention.
Like a clock, rotate the bin lid (not the bin) counterclockwise (11) to lift the bin from the HX1 and then further (10) to empty the bin when its bottom automatically opens. Rotate the lid back clockwise (12) and manually push the bin bottom closed. Then reseat the bin onto the HX1. The HX1 has 3 filters fitted inside each other in the bin. Should there be fur or other dirt still in the bin after the bottom opens, continue rotating the lid counterclockwise (9) to lift and remove the filter unit from the bin - and any remaining dirt falls out.
The 3 filters come apart easily for cleaning with a vacuum or brush. The HEPA filter pulls directly off from the outer filter and reseats by twisting it into the outer filter. Removing the HEPA filter exposes the smallest center filter which twists to unlock and lock into place. However, the center filter has a small projection on its top that fits into the HEPA filter. Be sure it’s positioned correctly so that the HEPA filter will fit down over the center filter and into the outer filter.
Finally, the HX1 has three lights on the motor to show the remaining battery charge. You don’t have to have the battery attached to the motor to charge it, but if you do, the lights blink on the motor to show that it’s charging.
Done.
Had two Dyson cordless vacuums over the past 8 years. The last one, V6, had the battery replaced, the long tube and the motor separated from the canister a few weeks ago. Thought I would get a Dyson V10.I realized I was on the Dyson upgrade merry go round. One cheaply made product that falls apart and fails after 12-18 months so I have to buy the next model. SOUND FAMILIAR? Did some research and choose the Meile.
What I like:
Suction is very good. We have 95% hardwood and marble tile floors. Picks everything up. The occasional kitty kibble needs a second pass, but other than that, it works great.
Like that it stands up on it's own. No more looking for a safe place to lean the cordless to move something.
Even on the highest power, I am getting 50 - 55 minutes per charge.
Battery is easy to replace should I ever need to.
Hepa filter is a must for us. Allergies.
The dust collector is a plus. While it may be smaller than the Dyson, it is MUCH easier to dump the debris.
Quality built machine. We bought a Meile corded vacuum, a Solaris, 18 years ago. Works like it did when it was new. We have a 19 year old Meile dishwasher. Works like new. We also have a Miele side loaded clothes washer that is 14 years old. See the trend? Meile makes quality appliances that last forever. I hope this is the last cordless vacuum we will ever buy.
What I don't like:
I really wanted a light on the vacuum like some $100 cordless vacuums have. To get one on the Meile you have to get the top of the line model. Since this is the first Meile cordless, I decided to not spend an additional $300 for a light on the machine. Plus, we really like the white color of the base model.
It's a little heavier than the Dyson. Could it be because it's built to last?
Overall, we are VERY happy with the White Tornado.
UPDATE
After 3 months, the battery died. I called Miele, was put on hold for 42 minutes, and the reluctantly acknowledged the battery was under warranty and they would ship one out to me. IN MARCH! At least a month out!
The "Customer service" person question me and accused me of probably not properly charging the battery when I bought the product. Really? I followed instructions and it worked for 3 months.
Miele does not have batteries but Amazon does. Miele has new products to sell why can't they pull a battery from a new vacuum?
Beware!
Update the replacement battery came. Does not charge. Worked for less than a minute. TOTAL JUNK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So Miele sent a replacement battery to me. Todays interaction:
ustin from Miele called. He was very nice and informative. Explained that I may have overcharged the battery. Never heard of this and do not know if that is actually possible?
I went through he refreshing of the battery as directed.
After 30 minutes, as directed, I tested the vacuum. Worked for 30 seconds and died.
Put charging cord back into the battery for 2 hours as directed. Kept flashing in the bottom cell and never moved to the middle or top cell.Justin claims if this does not work, it may be the charging cord or I may have to go to a Miele service center. I am not Miele’s service and delivery boy.
I left Justin a message on his phone.
This machine stoped working after two months! I DEMAND a replacement. I would ask for a refund if possible, however, AMAZON said it’s not.
To date I have spent more time trying to get this fixed than I have using the product.

The only negative thing I have to say is that the box was opened when I got it and I had to pre order the thing in advanced because I bought it before they were released so I don’t know why they would have to open the box. Nothing was missing or anything
