Miele Duoflex Extra Vacuum Cleaner, HX1

I've got two dogs and even a horse — but this Miele Duoflex HX1 vacuum left my home hair-free

What We Loved

• Attachment variety & compatibility
  genuinely useful attachments such as the Electro Compact upholstery head
• Automatic suction adjustment (dirt sensing)
  made the changes quickly and only for as long as necessary
• Build quality & durability
  Robust and durable
• Cleaning performance on carpet
  Excellent on all surfaces
• Dust-bin emptying
  It unclips at the bottom and there’s a clever little onboard brush
• Edge-cleaning effectiveness
  it also got right into the corners
• Filter replacement ease
  twist a dial in the top and it rattles all the dust out of the filter
• Handle comfort & grip
  Tactile and user-friendly handle
• Maneuverability & swivel steering
  It is very comfortable to maneuver
• Onboard tool storage
  two attachments can be clipped onto the vacuum
• Pet-hair pickup efficiency
  Perfect for pet hair
• Tool-change simplicity
  designed to make connecting and disconnecting nozzles and attachments quick and easy
• Under-furniture clearance
  which means it easily tucked deep under furniture
• Wall-mounted charging dock
  wall-mount bracket it comes with is great for hanging the vacuum neatly on the wall
• Weight
  Weighing a mere 6.8lbs

Just Okay

• Battery runtime / Charging time
  the battery duration could be better
• Dust-bin capacity
  Waste container capacity could prove limiting
• Large-debris pick-up
  the brush head seemed to ping them about

Needs Improvement

• Replaceable-battery convenience
  the battery on the Duoflex HX1 doesn’t slide out so you can’t have a second charged battery on standby
