Features That Make Everyday Cleaning Easier
Description
Engineered in Germany, the Triflex HX3 Plus Aqua is the top of the HX3 line: everything in the series in one box. It pairs the MultiFloor XXL SEB 436 electrobrush with BrilliantLight for dry vacuuming with the AquaTwister wet-cleaning attachment for water-resistant hard floors, adds the Hardfloor Care Tool soft roller, and ships with two removable batteries for up to 140 minutes of total runtime.
Key Features
- AquaTwister wet-cleaning attachment — dual rotating pads fed by a removable 10 fl oz (300 ml) water tank, with 3 adjustable water levels and 360° Brilliant Light illumination to lift dried-on dirt from hard floors
- Two batteries, up to 140 minutes of runtime — two removable VARTA lithium-ion batteries at up to 70 minutes each; with the MultiFloor XXL electrobrush running, 38 minutes per battery on low or 15 on high
- Hardfloor Care Tool — a soft roller for gentle dry cleaning of wood, tile and other hard floors
- Over 99.99% dust pickup for a thorough, hygienic deep clean
- HEPA lifetime filter with 99.999% exhaust air filtration — ideal for allergy and asthma sufferers
- Patented 3-in-1 design — Comfort, Reach, and Compact modes for any cleaning task
- FloorDetect technology automatically adjusts suction power for carpet vs. hard floors
- BrilliantLight LED headlights on the electrobrush 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 with the electrobrush attached — no wall bracket needed for quick breaks
- Note: dry vacuuming and wet mopping are separate jobs — swap floorheads between the two rather than doing both at once, and never draw liquid into the dry-vacuum system. The Triflex does not stand on its own with the AquaTwister attached; use the included storage tray between uses.

Good to know
If one battery covers your home and you don't need the soft roller, the Triflex HX3 Aqua gives you the same AquaTwister wet cleaning for less. If you only need dry cleaning, the Triflex HX3 Plus has the same two batteries and soft roller without the AquaTwister.

FAQ's
What the Triflex HX3 Plus Aqua does
The Plus Aqua is the top of the Triflex line. It vacuums, it mops, and it does both on two batteries instead of one. Same motor and HEPA Lifetime Filter as every HX3, with the AquaTwister wet floorhead and the Hardfloor Care Tool both in the box.
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
Enough runtime for the whole house, wet and dry
Mopping and vacuuming in the same session is what drains a cordless stick. The Plus Aqua ships with two click-out lithium-ion packs, so you swap rather than stop — up to 140 minutes at the lowest setting, roughly 3,440 square feet, with the second pack charging while the first is in use.
- Two lithium-ion batteries in the box
- Tool-free swap, no waiting on a charge
- Up to 140 minutes combined at the lowest setting
- Hardfloor Care Tool soft roller included as well
Miele suction, and a filter you never replace
The MultiFloor XXL SEB 436 electrobrush reads the floor underneath it, and BrilliantLight across the front of the head shows you the dust you would otherwise walk past. 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. 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
- 0.5-quart bin releases and empties without putting your hand in the dust
Runtimes are Miele's ratings across both batteries at the lowest power setting. With the powered floorhead attached, expect 76 minutes on low and 30 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.
