Made in Germany. Built to be the last cordless vacuum you buy.
Most cordless stick vacuums get replaced every one to four years — the battery fades, the motor weakens, the plastic body just isn't made to last. The Triflex HX3 is Miele's answer to that cycle: a machine engineered the way Miele has built vacuums since 1899, backed by coverage that assumes you'll keep it a long time.
Quick Answer: What is the Miele Triflex HX3?
The Triflex HX3 is Miele's entry-level cordless stick vacuum, offering 3-in-1 configuration (stick, handheld, and stand-alone), FloorDetect automatic floor recognition, up to 70 minutes of runtime, and a digital display. It's a meaningful step up from the HX2 generation — more power, longer runtime, and features the earlier Triflex line didn't have.
Why the Triflex HX3
A Real Step Up From the HX2
Handheld runtime is up 16%, carpet runtime up 26%, and Boost Mode — a one-touch 42% power increase — is new to this generation. A digital display replaces the manual slider, and a stainless-steel filter cage now empties cleaner than the old mesh design.3-in-1 Design, One Machine
Reposition the PowerUnit to switch between a full-size stick vacuum, an extended-reach setup for under furniture, and a compact handheld — no extra attachments needed.FloorDetect: A Feature Most Cordless Vacuums Don't Have
The MultiFloor XXL electrobrush reads the floor as you move and adjusts brush speed and suction automatically between carpet and hard floor — a detail that sets Miele's engineering apart from the rest of the cordless category.Boost Mode for the Tough Spots
One touch gives 42% more suction for 10 seconds, with a countdown on the display — useful for spills or high-traffic rugs, without needing it every day.Vortex Technology + HEPA Filter
The Digital Efficiency Motor and Vortex Technology capture 99.99% of dust, with the HEPA filter bringing overall filtration to 99.999%. Miele recommends replacing the filter about once a year, sooner for pets, allergies, or heavy daily use.Covered Like You're Keeping It
German engineering paired with 5 years parts & labour, 7 years on the motor, and 2 years on the battery — coverage built for a vacuum meant to outlast the usual replacement cycle by years.

FAQ
Q: How is the Triflex HX3 different from the HX2?
A: The core platform got stronger across the board — 16% more handheld runtime, 26% more carpet runtime with the electrobrush, a new one-touch Boost Mode, a digital display instead of a manual slider, and a stainless-steel filter cage that empties cleaner than the old mesh design.
Q: How long does the Triflex HX3 run on a single charge?
A: Up to 70 minutes in Low mode as a handheld unit. On carpet with the electrobrush attached, expect closer to 38 minutes in Low mode — runtime always depends on the power setting and floor type you're using.
Q: Does the Triflex HX3 automatically adjust for different floors?
A: Yes. FloorDetect recognizes carpet versus hard floor as you clean and adjusts brush speed and suction automatically — most cordless stick vacuums outside Miele's lineup still require you to switch heads or settings manually.
Q: How often does the HEPA filter need to be replaced?
A: Miele recommends about once a year for typical use. If you have pets, allergies, or vacuum daily, you may want to replace it sooner — ask our team and we'll help you set the right schedule for your home.
Q: What's the warranty on the Triflex HX3?
A: Five years on parts and labour, seven years on the motor, and two years on the battery — all included, no extended warranty purchase required.
Q: Can I service the Triflex HX3 locally?
A: Yes. Vacuum Supermarket is an authorized Miele dealer with in-house repair, so battery replacements, filter swaps, and tune-ups are handled right here in North Vancouver — not shipped off for weeks.
