Dyson V6 Animal vs Miele Triflex HX1

We wanted to know if the appliance would break if you accidentally vacuum over a bobby pin or a coin. The v6 wasn't able to complete the testing because the nuts kept jamming the roller brush. Of the 25 bobby pins in the total weight, this Dyson collected only three into its bin. That said, even with the brush jam, the vacuum didn't break

In short - cleaning up the cat fur is no longer a mental chore that I have to psych myself up for. Seriously..

2.) like the old stick vacs with the dust bin near the floor (redistributes the weight for easier maneuverability)

All in all, we would sum up our experience as follows: 1) Dyson has done a splendid job of marketing their product as the perfect vacuum. 2) This product is almost totally unusable for day-to-day, real life vacuuming purposes. 3) For $350, we were sold a bill of goods that this item cannot deliver. Buyer beware! Unless you live a perfectly clean life, have ample time to vacuum your place 2-3 times a week, and only have a small pet, this vacuum is a waste of your hard earned $$

\- Miele Triflex HX1 (best stick for carpet performance under $1k, terrible dustbin design, otherwise Miele quality and excellent warranty/repair options)

I feel like it takes me 3 hours to resolve these each time and it is never easy. Suction drops and I basically have to use stop my cleaning and wash out the filter and wait for it to dry in two days . I feel like I'm at the point where I can't clean my house in a single session without cleaning my filter. I already dislike cleaning and I almost feel like I have PTSD with vacuuming because it never goes well so I put it off as long as possible and by then it's pretty bad which compounds everything

The pieces are relatively easy to pop apart, but sometimes the plastic gets a little tight and it can be a little annoying to pop it back when reassembling while you’re cleaning. I’d say the suction is pretty good, but I just got a Bissell Zing Canister and that thing sucks up debris and dirt that my Miele won’t. I debated for a long time between Dyson and Miele and regret not going with a Dyson. I wouldn’t say I regret my purchase, but maybe the Miele name is better in the plug in vacuum arena

This is tricky, as it means I may be halfway through a cleanup job when the vacuum dies and I must wait 40 minutes to recharge.

I get nowhere near the advertised 1h battery life. The suction is ok when you use the rotating brush attachment. But the caster wheels on that attachment make it clunky to use on hard surfaces like hardwood floors. I have a canister Miele vacuum and the hard wood attachment from that fits this vacuum, but then the suction alone isn't enough

It's easy to remove the parts inside the vacuum head, but you'll have to find and snake a wire and bend it up into the neck to clear out gunk that gets trapped. It's just frustrating because every other area of the vacuum comes apart easily, but this neck area is where the blockages happen. Once cleared, it is always good as new though!

Emptying the canister is easy, as is getting the clogs out of the floor attachment, but you have to dry the prefilter after washing it. The problem is if you try to use the filter damp the machine gives you the signal it is full or the filter is clogged. I learned this the hard way. The night before having guests over I washed the prefilter

I would avoid the Miele Triflex just because they have an outdated dust bin design with a filter that clogs and gets extremely messy almost instantly. Something like the Oreck will be far cleaner and easier on the wallet.

The canister is tiny and would fill up in literally less than 2 minutes as I made my first couple of passes through my house. I have about 1000 sq feet of carpet and I had to empty the thing out multiple times per room. The design on the canister is also annoying, because hair doesn't just come out when you open it so you have to stick your fingers inside to knock things loose and there are a few spots that are just unreachable. Additionally, the battery died before I was able to finish the whole thing, and it cannot be used while plugged in

I would avoid the Miele HX1, just because the bin design is a nightmare to maintain compared to that of the LG or Samsung, let alone the bagged system of the Hoover. There are parts that I like about the Miele models, but they are no worth the price that they ask for them with that bin design that seems to be straight out of the 2000s. The filter gets dirty almost instantly.

but is it really worth over $400 for an extra vacuum that doesn't replace your existing one?

I see what Miele is doing here, they're promising a lot and trying to squeeze it into the same price bracket as Dyson because that's what will sell on a mass scale. Miele could do so much better. I wouldn't mind paying over a grand for an excellent cordless Miele, but the issue is that most people are not willing to pay that so they needed to cheapen it to fit into a cheaper price range. My C2 was $700, I would expect to pay more than that for a cordless with comparable cleaning ability
