Triflex HX3 vs Triflex HX2 — What Actually Changed
Miele describes the HX3 as the HX2 platform with stronger performance, a wet-cleaning option, longer runtime, Boost mode, and a runtime display. Here is how the published specs compare:
| Feature | Triflex HX3 | Triflex HX2 |
|---|---|---|
| Runtime per battery — solo, low | 70 min | 60 min |
| Runtime per battery — low + electrobrush | 38 min | 30 min |
| Runtime per battery — high + electrobrush | 15 min | 14 min |
| Cleaning area per charge | 160 m² (~1,720 sq ft) | 125 m² (~1,345 sq ft) |
| Noise | 74 dB | 77 dB |
| Power settings | Low / Eco / High on the display + Boost | 3-level slide control |
| Boost mode | Yes — +42% power for 10 seconds | No |
| Display | Remaining runtime in minutes, mode, Boost timer, charge % | No |
| AquaTwister wet-mop head | Compatible | Not compatible |
| Filter | HEPA lifetime — 99.999% | HEPA lifetime — 99.999% |
| Battery | 25.2V Li-ion, 2500 mAh, exchangeable | 25.2V Li-ion, 2500 mAh, exchangeable |
| Weight / dust bin | 8 lbs / 0.5 L | 8 lbs / 0.5 L |
Straight answer: the HX3 is a real step forward on runtime (+10 minutes solo, +8 minutes with the electrobrush on low, per battery), noise (3 dB quieter), and usability (Boost and the runtime display). Weight, bin size, battery capacity, and filtration are unchanged from the HX2. Every HX3 also accepts the AquaTwister wet-mop head — the HX2 cannot.
The Patented 3-in-1 Design
Comfort Mode
PowerUnit at the base, wand and handle above. The vacuum stands on its own, and Miele states Comfort mode cuts the weight on your wrist by 50% — the configuration for whole-house floor cleaning.
Reach Mode
PowerUnit at the top, near the handle. Keeps the floorhead low and flat for reaching under beds, sofas, and low furniture.
Compact Mode
Wand removed — the PowerUnit becomes a handheld vacuum for tabletops, upholstery, stairs, and car interiors with the included crevice nozzle, upholstery nozzle, and dust brush.
A park position lets the Triflex stand free-standing during short breaks without leaning it against a wall.
Key Features of the Miele Triflex HX3 Plus Aqua
AquaTwister HX-AT 10 — Vacuum and Mop with One Machine
The included AquaTwister HX-AT 10 turns the Triflex into a mop for water-resistant hard floors. Two motor-driven rotating pads and a 300 ml water tank work on dried-on dirt, and a 360° SpotLight shows streaks and spots as you go. Attach it and the HX3 recognizes the AquaTwister automatically, switching the display from suction settings to three water levels chosen with the Mode button. The AquaPads come off and are machine-washable at 140°F. Honest buyer note: the AquaTwister is a separate floorhead, so vacuuming and mopping are two passes — vacuum first, swap heads, then mop. It is not a combined vacuum-and-mop in a single pass.
Second Battery Included — Up to 140 Minutes
The Plus Aqua includes two 25.2V, 2500 mAh VARTA lithium-ion batteries. Each delivers up to 70 minutes on Low without the electrobrush, 38 minutes on Low with the MultiFloor XXL electrobrush, and 15 minutes on High with it — swapping batteries doubles every figure (up to 140 / 76 / 30 minutes). Recharge time is 240 minutes (4 hours). The second battery is what makes vacuum-then-mop practical on larger floor plans. Miele does not list a separate battery charging cradle in the box.
Hardfloor Care Tool — Soft Roller for Delicate Floors
The included Hardfloor Care Tool uses a soft woven nylon roller for gentle cleaning of delicate hard floors, picking up fine dust while keeping noise low. Use it instead of the MultiFloor XXL electrobrush on hardwood, stone, and other sensitive surfaces.
MultiFloor XXL SEB 436 Electrobrush with FloorDetect and BrilliantLight
The MultiFloor XXL SEB 436 electrobrush uses FloorDetect to recognize the surface under it and adjust suction power and brushroll speed automatically between carpet and hard floor. Its BrilliantLight LED front light lights up dust and hair along baseboards and under furniture. (The base Triflex HX3 uses the SEB 431, which has no light.)
Digital Efficiency Motor + Vortex Technology
Miele’s Digital Efficiency Motor works with Vortex Technology to deliver 99.99% dust pickup; Miele reports 100% dust pickup on hard floors with crevices in High mode, measured per IEC 62885-4:2024.
Boost Mode and Runtime Display
Boost mode delivers a 42% power increase for 10 seconds for heavily soiled spots, with a countdown on the display. The display also shows the remaining runtime in minutes, the selected mode (Low, Eco, High), and battery charge; while charging, it shows charge status as a percentage.
HEPA Lifetime Filter — 99.999%, Never Replaced
The HEPA lifetime filter delivers appliance filtration of 99.999% per IEC 62885-4:2020 and is certified HEPA per EN 1822-1:2019. It is maintenance-free and never needs replacing. ComfortClean keeps the filter clear during use.
Twist2open Dust Container — 0.5 Liter
Twist the container open and nearly all the dust falls straight out. No bags to buy. At 0.5 L, plan on emptying it mid-session in homes with heavy debris or pet hair.
74 dB, 8 lbs, Built in Germany
At 74 dB, the HX3 is 3 dB quieter than the HX2. It weighs 8 lbs (3.6 kg) — heavier than many cordless sticks, in exchange for the 3-in-1 design and canister-class performance. Developed and manufactured in Germany by Miele & Cie. KG.

What Owners Are Saying About the Triflex HX3 Plus Aqua
The HX3 line is new, and the early reviews on Miele’s site come from European buyers. As of September 2026, the Triflex HX3 Plus Aqua carries a 4.8-star average on Miele’s site from about fifteen reviews — the strongest of the HX3 line. Owners single out how easy it is to switch floorheads and mop afterward, and the strong suction. The most useful comment for buyers: a French owner was glad it comes with two batteries, reporting that one battery on Eco covered roughly 70 m² of vacuuming — which is why the second battery matters when you plan to vacuum and then mop.

Frequently Asked Questions — Miele Triflex HX3 Plus Aqua
What is the difference between the HX3 Plus Aqua and the HX3 Aqua?
The Plus Aqua adds a second exchangeable battery (up to 140 minutes total on Low) and the Hardfloor Care Tool soft-roller floorhead. Both include the AquaTwister wet-cleaning head, two AquaPads, 500 ml of universal floor cleaner, a storage tray, and the SEB 436 electrobrush with BrilliantLight.
How does the AquaTwister work?
Attach the AquaTwister and the Triflex HX3 recognizes it automatically, switching the display from suction settings to three water levels you choose with the Mode button. A motor spins two pads to work on stubborn and dried-on dirt, a 300 ml tank supplies the water, and a 360° SpotLight shows spots as you clean. The pads come off and are machine-washable at 140°F.
Does the Triflex HX3 Plus Aqua vacuum and mop at the same time?
No. Vacuuming and mopping use separate floorheads, so you vacuum first, then switch to the AquaTwister and mop. The AquaTwister is for water-resistant hard floors only.
How long does the Triflex HX3 Plus Aqua run?
Per battery: up to 70 minutes on Low without the electrobrush, 38 minutes on Low with the MultiFloor XXL electrobrush, and 15 minutes on High with it. With both included batteries that doubles to up to 140, 76, and 30 minutes. Miele does not publish a separate wet-cleaning runtime. Each battery recharges in 4 hours.
What is the difference between the Triflex HX3 and the Triflex HX2?
The HX3 adds Boost mode (+42% power for 10 seconds), a display that shows remaining runtime in minutes, longer runtime per battery (70 minutes solo on Low vs 60; 38 minutes with the electrobrush on Low vs 30), lower noise (74 dB vs 77 dB), and compatibility with the AquaTwister wet-mop head, which does not fit the HX2. Weight, dust bin size, battery capacity, and the HEPA lifetime filter are the same.
