Miele Triflex HX3 Aqua Obsidian Black
Cordless Vacuuming Meets Advanced Wet Cleaning
The Miele Triflex HX3 Aqua Obsidian Black is a premium cordless cleaning system designed to handle everyday dirt, fine dust, stubborn debris, and wet messes—all in one versatile machine. Combining Miele's powerful Digital Efficiency Motor, intelligent floor detection, HEPA filtration, flexible 3-in-1 design, and the innovative AquaTwister wet-cleaning attachment, it delivers a comprehensive cleaning solution for modern homes.
Powerful Cordless Cleaning
At the heart of the Triflex HX3 Aqua is Miele's Digital Efficiency Motor, engineered to provide high cleaning performance across different floor types. Miele rates the vacuum for 99.99% dust pickup, helping remove fine particles and everyday debris for a thorough clean.
The vacuum offers three electronic suction levels and a dedicated Boost mode for heavily soiled areas where additional cleaning power is needed.
Up to 70 Minutes of Cordless Runtime
The rechargeable VARTA lithium-ion battery provides up to 70 minutes of runtime when the PowerUnit is used on its own. With powered electrical accessories attached, runtime is rated at up to 38 minutes on Low and 15 minutes on High. A full recharge takes approximately 240 minutes.
The integrated display keeps you informed of remaining battery time, selected cleaning mode, and charging status, helping you plan your cleaning without guessing how much power remains.
Intelligent FloorDetect Technology
The FloorDetect system automatically recognizes the flooring being cleaned and adjusts the vacuum's power accordingly. This helps provide the appropriate cleaning performance as you move between different surfaces throughout your home.
Patented 3-in-1 Design
The Triflex HX3's patented design gives you three configurations for different cleaning situations:
Comfort Mode — Positions the PowerUnit for lighter, more comfortable handling during everyday floor cleaning.
Reach Mode — Places the PowerUnit higher on the vacuum, helping provide greater reach when cleaning underneath furniture and other hard-to-reach areas.
Compact Mode — Converts the vacuum into a compact PowerUnit Solo configuration for quick cleaning of furniture, stairs, counters, cars, and other smaller areas.
The system can also stand on its own, allowing you to conveniently park the vacuum during cleaning breaks without having to lean it against a wall.
AquaTwister: Vacuum and Wet-Cleaning Capability
One of the defining features of the HX3 Aqua is the AquaTwister wet-cleaning attachment.
The AquaTwister uses rotating cleaning pads and adjustable water flow to tackle dried-on dirt and stubborn marks on water-resistant flooring. It also incorporates a 360-degree SpotLight, illuminating the floor around the cleaning head to make dirt and debris easier to see.
This gives the HX3 Aqua the ability to go beyond conventional dry vacuuming and help with everyday wet floor cleaning.
360-Degree SpotLight
The AquaTwister's integrated 360-degree lighting system helps illuminate dirt that may otherwise be difficult to see, particularly in darker areas and along hard-to-reach sections of the floor.
Hardfloor Care Tool
For delicate hard flooring, the included Hardfloor Care Tool uses a soft woven nylon roller designed for gentler cleaning. This makes it particularly useful for homes with sensitive or high-quality hard-floor surfaces.
HEPA Lifetime Filtration
The Triflex HX3 Aqua features a maintenance-free HEPA lifetime filter designed to provide 99.999% exhaust-air filtration according to Miele's stated specifications.
This filtration system helps retain extremely fine particles inside the appliance rather than allowing them to return to the surrounding air, making the HX3 Aqua particularly well suited to households where clean indoor air is important.
Twist2Open Hygienic Emptying
When it's time to empty the dust container, Miele's Twist2open system makes the process quick and straightforward. With a simple twist, the dust container opens and Miele states that almost 100% of the collected dust can fall out, minimizing the need to manually remove debris from the container.
Clear Digital Display
The integrated display provides important information while you clean, including:
- Remaining battery runtime
- Selected cleaning mode
- Low, Eco, or High operating mode
- Boost-mode timer
- Charging status
This makes it easier to monitor performance and manage your cleaning session.
Convenient Accessories Included

- AquaTwister for wet floor cleaning

Designed for Everyday Convenience
Despite its extensive capabilities, the HX3 Aqua is designed around cordless convenience. It weighs approximately 8 lb (3.6 kg) and measures approximately 10.25 inches wide × 51.125 inches high × 11 inches deep. Its dust container has a capacity of approximately 0.5 L.
The vacuum operates at a listed sound level of approximately 74 dB.
German Engineering
The Triflex HX3 is developed and manufactured in Germany by Miele, reflecting the company's focus on engineering, workmanship, and long-term appliance quality.
