Compare Miele Triflex HX2 Pro Cordless Stick Vacuum vs Dyson V8 Plus Cordless Vacuum

The Pro bundle is repeatedly praised for including a broad set of tools/rollers (crevice, dusting, upholstery and surface-specific rollers), though some wish for additional powered mini tools or dedicated heads.

Most reviews call out a useful set of included tools (crevice, soft brush, motorized heads, mini tools and a wall dock). Comparisons note newer Dysons may include more attachments, but the V8 Plus kit still covers common use cases.

Design and finish are frequently described as premium and stylish, with a futuristic, high-end look and feel.

Reviewers repeatedly describe the Dyson look as sleek and premium, with metallic finishes and a satisfying fit and finish out of the box.

Automatic floor-type sensing/brush behavior is a notable feature, adjusting suction or brush action when moving between hard floors and carpet; responsiveness is sometimes slower than top rivals but generally effective.

A comparison review says the V8 Plus can connect to the MyDyson app for guides, device tracking, and maintenance reminders, adding light smart functionality.

At least one long-term user specifically praises minimal blowback or debris flicking behind the head compared with their prior vacuum.

Thin or lightweight rugs can get pulled up by the strong suction and may stop the brush from spinning; using lower power, avoiding Max, or adding an adapter is suggested.

Initial setup/assembly is usually straightforward, but some reviewers report stiff parts and multiple steps when reconfiguring between modes.

Unboxing and setup are portrayed as straightforward, with dock hardware included and the main pieces snapping together quickly.

Battery system is a strong point on Pro bundles thanks to a spare pack and multiple charging options; charge times around ~4 hours and occasional quirks mean you’ll want a charging routine, especially if you use higher power often.

Typical low/standard runtime is described around 40 minutes, charging is via a wall dock/charger, and a battery level indicator helps planning. Charge time is mentioned around 5 hours, and Max drains far faster.

The 0.5L bin is widely considered small for the class; it can fill quickly during whole-home cleans, though a few reviewers find it adequate for average runs.

The dust cup is frequently described as small and fills quickly, so expect more frequent emptying during whole-home cleans (even though one reviewer notes it can hold a bit more than a slimmer Dyson model).

Build quality is repeatedly rated high, with sturdy parts and a premium feel; long-term durability is generally expected to be strong, but not extensively proven in the reviews.

Build is described as sturdy and well-constructed, with an overall premium feel.

High-pile/thick carpet results are generally good but can become hard to push at higher suction, making mid modes more practical.

Low-pile carpet pickup is generally strong, clearing powders and everyday debris well; performance can depend on mode and may be less impressive than the very best competitors.

On medium-pile carpet, tests often report strong pickup (including pet hair) but sometimes requiring multiple passes for a truly clean finish.

One reviewer reports the roller does not clog, and detangling design callouts suggest hair is less likely to build up and require manual de-clogging.

Against competitors, reviewers agree it performs very well on cleaning tests, but several note that premium Dysons can outperform it while costing less in some markets.

Compared with Dyson V8 and V12 Detect Slim, the V8 Plus is seen as plenty powerful and a good Dyson entry point, but less advanced in features than higher-end models.

Controls are simple but polarizing: the slider and basic indicators are easy to understand, yet some find the interface less refined or a bit cumbersome to adjust precisely.

Controls are simple with two power levels/modes and a basic battery indicator. The main complaint is limited power granularity versus newer models, and Max mode is best treated as a short burst setting.

Handheld conversion is a core strength and works well for stairs, cars and spot jobs, though it can feel heavy for extended above-shoulder cleaning.

Multiple reviewers emphasize the fast conversion to handheld for cars, furniture, stairs, and quick spot cleanups, and they call the handheld mode genuinely useful rather than a gimmick.

Cordless freedom is a major benefit, especially paired with swappable batteries; frequent bin emptying can reduce the sense of convenience for some owners.

Convenience is a major theme: reviewers use it for frequent quick cleanups, moving between rooms, stairs, and even the car without dealing with cords.

Cyclone/Vortex-style separation is described as effective for maintaining pickup and containing fine dust; most commentary is qualitative rather than lab-measured.

In side-by-side comparison with a model that has a green dust-illumination light, the V8 Plus is implied to lack that visibility aid.

Handling feedback is mixed: some find it easy to manoeuvre (especially in comfort/low-mounted mode), while others call it clumsy, less flexible when turning, or hard to push/pull on certain settings.

Handling is generally praised for good swivel and ease around tight areas, with the caveat that storing/parking mid-clean is less convenient because it does not stand on its own.

Ease of use is a common positive, from quick tool swaps to simple emptying and the overall grab-and-go nature of a cordless stick.

Edge and baseboard cleaning performance is reported as strong in at least one controlled flour test, reaching tight skirting areas effectively.

Emptying can be fiddly and sometimes dusty; several reviews recommend emptying outdoors, while others note it can be controlled with practice but remains a frequent annoyance due to bin size.

Emptying is a standout: the lever-drop design is described as fast and convenient, and the Plus model is said to improve dirt ejection for cleaner, lower-dust emptying.

Multiple reviews highlight strong dust containment with HEPA/HEPA-style filtration and a sealed system, making it appealing for allergies and fine dust.

A comparison review cites whole-machine HEPA filtration capturing 99.99% of particles down to 0.3 microns, and multiple reviews suggest dust exposure is minimized by the dirt-ejection/lever emptying design.

The floorhead earns praise for wide coverage, strong sealing/suction-to-floor feel and surface versatility; downsides include limited swivel/flex in some designs and a tendency to snowplow larger debris on hard floors in certain tests.

On carpets, hair pickup is usually strong, including controlled pet-hair tests; coarse mats and some fabrics can leave stubborn strands behind.

Hard-floor hair pickup is typically strong, helped by good sealing and head design; a few scenarios still require careful passes.

Hair-wrap resistance is mixed: some reviewers report little to no tangling, while others (including lab tests) note hair wrapping and a lack of robust anti-tangle tech compared with Shark/Dyson.

The Motorbar detangling design and hair-focused tools are repeatedly called out for actively removing wrapped hair and handling long hair and pet fur with less tangling.

Fine dust pickup on hard floors is a highlight, with multiple reviews reporting near-total pickup in one pass on test powders like flour.

Large debris on hard floors is inconsistent: some testers report easy pickup of rice/cereal, while others see snowplowing or flinging that requires technique changes or switching to handheld/nozzle mode.

LED lighting is considered helpful for spotting debris on hard floors and under furniture, though it’s not as revealing as Dyson’s laser systems.

Reviews note it is not the most advanced Dyson; newer models add screens, more power levels or auto modes, removable batteries, and dust-illumination features.

Maintenance is a mix of positives and negatives: washable parts and filter-cleaning features help, but bin emptying, filter brushing and hair removal can be time-consuming for some owners.

Maintenance seems manageable: filters are referenced as washable, and app-based reminders and guides can help keep upkeep on schedule.

Noise is commonly described as relatively quiet for its performance, with measured results in the mid-50s to low-70s dB depending on mode and attachments.

Onboard/wall storage for small tools is viewed as convenient, though some wish every tool had a dedicated onboard slot.

The unboxing review suggests packaging can feel excessive, though the contents appear well-protected.

Pet hair pickup is generally strong on hard floors and carpets, with several tests clearing visible hair well; coarse entrance matting or deep/embedded hair can still take multiple passes.

Reviewers highlight pet-hair focused tools and detangling heads that lift fur from carpets and furniture without constant manual cleanup, making it a strong pick for homes with shedding pets.

Value is a common pain point: performance and build are praised, but many reviewers feel the high price is hard to justify versus strong competitors.

Several reviews frame the V8 Plus as a sweet spot for Dyson performance without the price of newer flagships, though you give up newer quality-of-life features like dust illumination or extra modes.

Measured/realistic runtime varies widely by mode and attachment: low/min settings can reach roughly an hour per battery in some setups, while typical eco use is often closer to ~20–30 minutes. Boost/Max runtime is consistently short (often around ~8–15 minutes per battery), so it’s best treated as a spot-cleaning mode rather than a whole-home default.

Multiple reviewers cite about 40 minutes in low/standard mode, which suits daily maintenance cleaning or smaller homes. High/Max mode is consistently described as much shorter than default, ranging from roughly 15 minutes in one review to about 4 minutes in another comparison, so it is best reserved for quick spot jobs.

A dedicated review specifically calls it great on stairs, helped by the lightweight build and handheld conversion.

Self-standing capability in the low/comfort configuration is a standout convenience for pausing and storage; in other configurations it may require a wall mount or careful placement.

The wall dock is praised for keeping the vacuum charged and ready, but at least one reviewer notes it does not stand upright on its own and needs the dock or a wall/corner for parking.

Reviews consistently describe very strong suction for a cordless stick, excelling on fine dust and everyday debris; some tests show it trails top Dyson models on raw suction and can become hard to push in Max mode.

Across reviews, suction is described as very strong even in the lower mode, with Max delivering a noticeable jump for spot cleans. A downside is that the power can be aggressive enough to lift thin rugs or stall the brush.

Support is mentioned positively where discussed, with long warranties and service availability cited, though not all reviews address reliability long-term.

Swapping rollers and converting configurations is often described as slower or more fiddly than rivals; users who rarely change modes will mind this less.

Attachments and the wand are shown as click-in, click-out simple; reviewers also like that the bin can be emptied without removing tools in use.

Under-furniture access is one reason to reconfigure the power unit; some reviewers still find the vacuum heavy or the benefit modest versus conventional stick designs.

Above-floor cleaning with upholstery/crevice tools is generally effective, but the unit’s weight can make extended high-reach cleaning tiring, and some embedded sofa debris (like feathers) may still resist pickup.

Reviewers report it removes pet fur from furniture well when using the pet/hair tools in handheld configuration.

The 3-in-1 concept is widely appreciated for flexibility and self-standing storage, but several reviewers say the real-world benefit is smaller than expected because mode changes take time.

Across reviews, it is positioned as versatile for mixed flooring and above-floor cleaning thanks to multiple tools, two power modes, and strong handheld performance.

Weight impressions vary: some find it heavy compared to most cordless sticks, while others find it manageable—especially with the power unit mounted low to reduce wrist strain.

Reviewers repeatedly call it lightweight and easy to carry for stairs, multi-level homes, and above-floor cleaning.
