Verdict

The Miele Triflex HX1 Facelift Plus (Model 12206750) is a premium cordless stick vacuum cleaner featuring an innovative 3-in-1 design that easily converts between a self-standing comfort mode, a high-reach stick mode, and a compact handheld unit. Key technical specifications include a 25.2V Li-ion battery providing up to 60 minutes of runtime on a 240-minute charge, a 0.5-litre bagless dust bin, a 28 cm wide Multi Floor XXL electrobrush with automatic floor recognition, an operating noise level of 80 dB, and an advanced HEPA lifetime filter capturing 99.999% of fine dust and allergens. Main pros include its exceptional, corded-equivalent suction power, versatile ergonomics that shift the center of gravity to reduce wrist fatigue, and highly efficient filtration for allergy sufferers. However, notable cons include its relatively heavy 3.6 kg total weight, a small dust capacity that requires frequent emptying, and a somewhat clunky, multi-step bin maintenance process.
