Good to know
Upgrading from a Triflex HX2 Cat & Dog? This is its direct replacement, and your HX2 batteries, charger, fine dust filter and accessory holder all fit. If you have a large home with a lot of carpet, a spare HX-LA 10 battery gives you swap-and-go runtime.

FAQ's
What the Triflex HX3 Aqua does
The Aqua is the Triflex that cleans hard floors wet as well as dry. It vacuums like every other HX3 — same motor, same HEPA Lifetime Filter, same 3-in-1 body — and then the AquaTwister floorhead goes on and it mops. Here is what that looks like day to day.
Mop your hard floors with the AquaTwister
Take the electrobrush off, click the AquaTwister on, and the same machine mops. Two microfiber AquaPads spin against the floor while the tank feeds them water and Miele FloorClean solution, so dried-on spills get lifted instead of pushed around. Three water levels plus a Boost setting let you go light on sealed wood and heavy on tile and stone.
- Two rotating AquaPads, washable and reusable
- Three water levels plus Boost for stubborn spots
- 17 fl oz of Miele FloorClean concentrate in the box
- Storage tray included, so the wet head has somewhere to sit
One machine for floors, ceilings and the car
The motor unit unclips and moves. Down at the bottom in Comfort mode the weight sits near the floor, which is where you want it for everyday vacuuming. Up at the top in Reach mode the wand goes under the bed, behind the couch and into ceiling corners without you holding the heavy end overhead. Pull the wand off altogether and the motor unit is a handheld for stairs, upholstery and the inside of the car.
- Comfort mode keeps the weight down at floor level
- Reach mode moves the motor to the top for under and above furniture
- Handheld mode with dusting brush, XL upholstery nozzle and crevice tool
- Stands up on its own between rooms, so no wall bracket is needed
Miele suction, and a filter you never replace
The MultiFloor XXL SEB 436 electrobrush reads the floor underneath it. FloorDetect steps the brush roller up when you move onto carpet and eases it off on hard floors, so you are not stopping to change a setting every time the flooring changes. BrilliantLight across the front of the head shows you the dust you would otherwise walk past. And what the vacuum picks up stays inside it: the HEPA Lifetime Filter holds 99.999% of exhaust particles and is not sold as a replacement part, because it does not need to be.
- MultiFloor XXL SEB 436 electrobrush with BrilliantLight
- FloorDetect adjusts between carpet and hard floors on its own
- HEPA Lifetime Filter, 99.999% exhaust filtration, nothing to buy again
- Bin releases and empties without putting your hand in the dust
Runtimes are Miele's ratings for the motor unit at the lowest power setting. With the powered floorhead attached, expect 38 minutes on low and 15 on high.
Every model, side by side
All six Triflex HX3 models share the same motor, HEPA lifetime filtration, 0.5-quart bin, FloorDetect, Boost Mode and 3-in-1 body. What separates them is which floorheads and tools come in the box, and whether you get a second battery.
