Features That Make Everyday Cleaning Easier

One machine, two jobs

Vacuum the room dry, then swap the floorhead for the AquaTwister and mop the hard floors. No second appliance, no second charger, no second thing to store.

It adjusts so you don't have to

FloorDetect senses whether you are on carpet or a hard floor and changes suction as you cross the room, so you are not stopping to press anything.

You can see what you are cleaning

BrilliantLight LEDs on the electrobrush throw light across the floor ahead of you, and the AquaTwister adds a 360-degree SpotLight ring that shows up film and dried-on marks.

Three shapes for three jobs

The patented 3-in-1 design reconfigures in seconds: Comfort for open floors, Reach for getting under furniture, and Compact as a handheld for stairs, upholstery and the car.

Park it anywhere, mid-clean

The Triflex stands up on its own without a wall bracket, so you can set it down to move a chair or answer the door and pick up where you left off.

Empty it without wearing it

Twist2open lets you open the dust container directly over the bin, so the contents drop out with almost no dust escaping back at you.

Description

Engineered in Germany, the Triflex HX3 Aqua is a true vacuum-and-mop hybrid. Its Digital Efficiency Motor delivers 99.99% dust pickup for dry vacuuming, and the included AquaTwister attachment converts it into a wet-cleaning mop for water-resistant hard floors — all powered by one battery, one charge, one machine.

Key Features

  • AquaTwister wet-cleaning attachment — dual rotating pads with 3 adjustable water levels and 360° SpotLight illumination lift dried-on dirt from hard floors
  • Up to 70 minutes of runtime with the removable VARTA lithium-ion battery — 38 minutes on the low setting with the MultiFloor XXL electrobrush running, or 15 minutes on high
  • 99.99% dust pickup for a thorough, hygienic deep clean
  • Patented 3-in-1 design — Comfort, Reach, and Compact modes for any cleaning task
  • HEPA lifetime filter (99.999% filtration) — ideal for allergy and asthma sufferers
  • FloorDetect technology automatically adjusts suction power for carpet vs. hard floors
  • BrilliantLight LED headlights reveal hidden dust and debris
  • Boost Mode for fast, high-power cleaning of heavily soiled areas
  • Twist2open dust container empties hygienically with almost zero dust contact
  • Free-standing park position — no wall bracket needed for quick breaks
  • Note: dry vacuuming and wet mopping are separate passes — swap floorheads between the two rather than doing both at once, and never draw liquid into the dry-vacuum system

  • 2 AquaPads + 500ml universal cleaning solution + storage tray

Good to know

If you want the softer nylon-roller Hardfloor Care Tool for delicate hardwood, or dual-battery swap-and-go runtime for a larger home, take a look at the Triflex HX3 Plus Aqua — the same core platform with an expanded accessory package.

FAQ's

Can the Triflex HX3 Aqua vacuum and mop at the same time?

No — dry vacuuming and wet cleaning are separate passes. You swap the MultiFloor XXL electrobrush for the AquaTwister attachment depending on the job, and you should never draw liquid into the dry-vacuum system.

How long does the battery last on a single charge?

Miele rates the PowerUnit at up to 70 minutes on its own at the lowest setting. With the MultiFloor XXL electrobrush attached, expect 38 minutes on the low setting and 15 minutes on high. The 25.2V lithium-ion battery is removable and takes 240 minutes, about 4 hours, to fully recharge.

What floors can I use the AquaTwister on?

Water-resistant hard floors such as sealed tile, stone, laminate and vinyl. The dual rotating pads have three adjustable water levels, so you can dial back moisture on more sensitive surfaces. It is not intended for unsealed wood or for carpet.

Is the Triflex HX3 Aqua good for allergy sufferers?

Yes. It captures over 99.99% of dust and uses a HEPA lifetime filter rated at 99.999% filtration under EN 1822-1:2019, so fine particles stay in the machine instead of blowing back into the room. The Twist2open dust container also empties with almost no dust contact.

Does it work on carpet?

Yes. The MultiFloor XXL SEB 436 electrobrush handles both carpet and hard floors, and FloorDetect automatically adjusts suction as you move between them. Boost Mode is available for heavily soiled areas.

How is the Triflex HX3 Aqua different from the Triflex HX3 Plus Aqua?

They share the same core machine. The Plus Aqua adds the softer nylon-roller Hardfloor Care Tool for delicate hardwood and a second battery for swap-and-go runtime, which matters in larger homes. If you clean a single floor and want wet cleaning included, the HX3 Aqua is the value pick.

Does it stand up on its own?

Yes. The Triflex parks free-standing without a wall bracket, so you can set it down mid-clean. A wall mount is also included in the box if you would rather store it mounted.
