Available in Lotus White. 4.5 stars from 32 Miele USA reviews — the highest-rated Triflex HX2. Authorized Miele dealer. Free shipping on orders over $30.
Miele Triflex HX2 — The Most Powerful Miele Cordless Stick Vacuum
The Miele Triflex HX2 (SOML0, MPN 11827000) in Lotus White is Miele’s entry point into the HX2 series — delivering the same HEPA lifetime filter, the same 3-in-1 reconfigurable design, and Miele’s most powerful cordless cleaning performance per IEC 62885-2 as the Cat & Dog and Pro models, at $849.00 — the lowest price in the HX2 lineup. The defining difference from the Cat & Dog is the electrobrush: the Lotus White uses the Multi Floor XXL SEB 430 (no BrilliantLight LED) and does not include the Electro Compact pet brush. For households without pets, or for pet owners who don’t need a motorized upholstery brush, this is the most cost-effective way into the HX2 platform. Rated 4.5 stars from 32 Miele USA reviews — the highest rating of any Triflex HX2 model.

What Miele Customers Are Saying
The HX2 Lotus White holds 4.5 stars from 32 Miele USA reviews — the highest average rating in the HX2 lineup:
“Great vacuum. I rated it with four stars because it is a little heavy, and the filter is difficult to remove. Other than that, it works perfectly fine, does the job well, and I really enjoy being able to disassemble it — very versatile! The battery lasts as the manufacturer states.” — GCA, USA, May 2026
“Convenient, efficient and easy to use. Try not to assemble the cleaner upside down as it won’t work. Otherwise a fabulous cleaner.” — DavBro, UK, December 2025
“Brilliant cleaner but pity about dust container. Great cleaner. Ridiculously small dust container. Bad design.” — Sue, UK, February 2026
The pattern across reviews is consistent: exceptional suction power, versatile 3-in-1 design, and confirmed runtime praised widely. Criticisms: 8-lb weight (consistent across all HX2 models), the 0.5-liter dust container fills quickly in larger homes, and the filter can be stiff to remove. These are model-wide characteristics, not defects of the Lotus White specifically.
The Patented 3-in-1 Design
Comfort Mode
PowerUnit at the base, wand and handle above. Traditional stick vacuum configuration — balanced for everyday floor cleaning.
Reach Mode
PowerUnit at the top, handle lower. Weight shifts to the top to extend reach under beds, sofas, and low furniture with reduced wrist strain.
Compact Mode
Wand removed entirely. PowerUnit and handle become a self-contained handheld vacuum for stairs, upholstery, and above-floor spot cleaning. Note: without the Electro Compact brush (a Cat & Dog exclusive), handheld cleaning uses suction tools only.
Key Features of the Miele Triflex HX2
Multi Floor XXL SEB 430 Electrobrush — Automatic Floor Recognition
The Multi Floor XXL SEB 430 electrobrush uses automatic floor recognition to detect carpet versus hard floor and adjusts the brushroll speed accordingly — no manual switching. Extra-wide for maximum coverage per pass. No BrilliantLight LED — the LED version is the SEB 435, exclusive to the Cat & Dog and Pro models. For homes where cleaning in darker areas under furniture is a priority, the Cat & Dog’s SEB 435 BrilliantLight has the illumination advantage. For most well-lit homes, the SEB 430 delivers identical cleaning results.
HEPA Lifetime Filter — 99.999% Certified per IEC 62885-4 and EN 1822:2011, Never Replaced
The HEPA lifetime filter captures 99.999% of fine dust, allergens, pollen, pet dander, and bacteria — certified to both IEC 62885-4 and the European HEPA standard EN 1822:2011. Permanent — never replaced for the life of the machine. ComfortClean automatically self-cleans it during operation. No filter costs ever.
This is the same HEPA filter as the Cat & Dog and Pro models — the Lotus White gets the full HEPA specification, not a downgraded version.
Vortex Technology — Miele’s Most Powerful Cordless Performance
Vortex Technology maintains consistent strong suction through the 0.5-liter dust container as it fills. Miele compares the HX2’s cleaning performance to a Miele Complete C3 canister with STB 305-3 TurboBrush on carpet dust, hard floor crevice, and fiber pickup per IEC 62885-2.
60-Minute Runtime — Exchangeable Battery
Up to 60 minutes solo at level 1 without the electrobrush. With the SEB 430 electrobrush: 30 minutes on low, 14 minutes on high. The 25.2V Li-Ion 2500 mAh battery is exchangeable — a second battery (HX-LA, $229) swaps in for continuous cleaning. Recharge time: 240 minutes (4 hours). The optional Triflex battery charger cradle HX-LS ($145) charges the spare independently. For households wanting two batteries and a cradle in the box, the HX2 Flash and HX2 Pro include these as standard.
3-Level Slide Suction Control
A 3-level slide control selects low, medium, or high suction with a thumb movement without releasing your grip.
Twist2Open Dust Container — 0.5 Liter
Twist to open the base and drop debris directly into the bin without hand contact. No bag to purchase. Multiple reviewers flag the 0.5-liter container as small — in large homes or with heavy debris, plan to empty mid-session.
77 dB — Quieter Than the HX1 Facelift
At 77 dB — three decibels quieter than the Triflex HX1 Facelift’s 80 dB. A genuine quality-of-life improvement for daily home use.
8 Pounds
At 8 lbs (3.6 kg) — consistent across all HX2 models. Several reviewers note this is heavier than competing cordless stick vacuums. The Duoflex HX1 at 7 lbs is one pound lighter at a lower price if weight is the deciding factor.
Wall-Mount Charging Station — Always Ready
The included wall-mount charging station stores the Triflex upright and keeps the battery continuously charged. Three accessory hooks store the dust brush, upholstery nozzle XXL, and crevice nozzle alongside.

The HX2 is the more powerful machine with HEPA standard and quieter operation. The HX1 Facelift is $150 less and has slightly longer high-power runtime with the electrobrush. For everyday home use, the HX2’s HEPA filtration and noise improvement are meaningful; the HX1 Facelift is the smarter choice for the budget-conscious buyer without allergy concerns.
What is the difference between the HX2 Lotus White and the HX2 Cat & Dog?
The HX2 Lotus White ($849) has the SEB 430 electrobrush without BrilliantLight LED and does not include the Electro Compact pet brush. The Cat & Dog ($999) has the SEB 435 with BrilliantLight LED illumination and includes the Electro Compact brush HX-EC 20 for motorized pet hair removal from upholstery. Both have the same HEPA lifetime filter, same runtime, same 3-in-1 design, and same motor. For homes without pets, the Lotus White delivers identical core performance at $150 less.
What is the difference between the HX2 Lotus White and the HX2 Flash?
Just $50 separates them. The Flash ($899) includes two batteries in the box, doubling the runtime to 2 × 60 minutes solo or 2 × 30 minutes with the electrobrush. The Lotus White ($849) includes one battery. If you clean a larger home or want uninterrupted runtime, the Flash is exceptional value at $50 more. If your home is small enough for one charge, the Lotus White is fine.
What is the difference between the Triflex HX2 and the Triflex HX1 Facelift?
The HX2 ($849) claims Miele’s most powerful cordless performance per IEC 62885-2, has a HEPA lifetime filter at 99.999% as standard (vs the HX1 Facelift’s 99.99% Hygiene lifetime filter), and operates at 77 dB (vs 80 dB). The HX1 Facelift ($699) is $150 less and has slightly longer high-power runtime with the electrobrush (17 vs 14 minutes). The HX2 is the more capable machine; the HX1 Facelift is the right choice for the budget-conscious buyer without allergy concerns.
Does the Triflex HX2 use bags?
No — it is bagless with a 0.5-liter Twist2Open dust container. The HEPA lifetime filter is permanent and never replaced.
