I love my Miele. But honestly I don’t think any cordless is going to do an amazing job with carpet. Miele could handle it just fine, but I’d bust out the big guns on the carpet a few days a week. When I had shedding dogs this was my routine - daily vac with the cordless Miele, full out with the big Miele 2x a week. We have hardwood, tile, and area rugs Editing to add my cordless is older now but this is my MVP [link](https://www.ebay.com/itm/136751902315?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&mkscid=101&itemid=136751902315&targetid=2295557532630&device=m&mktype=pla&googleloc=9016952&poi=&campaignid=21415037908&mkgroupid=173029509028&rlsatarget=pla-2295557532630&abcId=9450163&merchantid=5351167877&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21415037908&gbraid=0AAAAAD_QDh-xpXB8OGNz0r773Qnf171GB&gclid=Cj0KCQiA4eHLBhCzARIsAJ2NZoIgAiRZacX7EFcfIULRNp-YNTKOCbaCMcZdxS_aLTR6kuKGjBuZPNMaAmBEEALw_wcB)

Depends on your budget. I have a Miele cordless and it’s my every day. I have mostly wood floors with some light area rugs. I’ll bust out the big one for a deeper clean about once a week

I have a Miele stick. I’m very happy with it, but I also have another vacuum as well. I have hardwood with some area rugs. It’s not cheap but you may be able to snag a sale

I have been destroying Dyson vacuums with all the fur for years. Recently learned there is an entire tier of vacuums above Dyson. We use a Sebo corded, bagged vacuum for deep cleans, but use a Riccar cordless, bagged for everyday. https://www.riccar.com/clean-air-cordless-power-upright-vacuum I also (because I’m a nerd) have a Miele cordless, but the canister is a little small and I have to empty it a lot. That’s why we also have the Riccar https://www.mieleusa.com/product/11826970/cordless-stick-vacuum-cleaner-triflex-hx1-facelift-lotus-white

I can second that.. Bought the HX1-Pro when it was just released, along with the spare battery and charger and it is still going strong till day - both in terms of battery life and the suction abilities.

On the lowest setting it lasts for about 40-45 mins. On the highest about 20-30 mins I will suggest this. Get the package with the spare battery and the charger. It is a life saver. You don't have to stop vacuuming because the battery ran out..

I have the first generation miele triflex and has been a workhorse for years now but i have a corded canister as well so i only use it a few times a week but the battery is the original one. The second generation triflex is a well built stick vacuum but they are a little pricey. Miele also makes a less expensive model as well. They have only been out for a short time so time will tell. Sebo also just released a inexpensive stick vacuum. I would definitely go to a local dealer and test drive them …

Miele triflex is a pretty solid stick I have had mine since its inception and have had no issues. I just like how it stands up by itself, has a slide switch so no more cramp in the finger. Easy to clean the brush roll. Just a great all around stick vacuum . Check your local dealer they may be on sale.. note no stick vacuum is going to do carpet extremely well. For that a plug in vacuum would be the best solution..

Miele or sebo both have a 2 year warranty and you can try them at a local dealer. They are built to be repaired if they break the miele triflex is the upper end of the line

I use a miele triflex. I have had it since it’s inception and it picks up after 2 cats and a dog with no issues. Note clean the brush roller regularly and the filter for best performance. A local dealer should have them on display and you can try them out.the cat and dog goes on sale 3-12 it will be 20% off

Just get a new piece and call it a day. That is a very rare thing to happen with a Miele I wouldn’t read too much into it.. it could happen with a 1300$ Sebo too…

I have got the Miele Triflex for several years now without any defects and like it very much. So far I also don't recognise any degradation of the battery. Also I prefer the white LED lighting over the green Dyson light.

We don't have pets, so I can't really comment on that. I have the first Triflex model (HX1) with only the bristle brush, which is ok with long hair but of course has some tangling but is easily cleanable. I think the current one (HX2) also comes with a special hard floor brush without bristles.

The duoflex is a good economic option. But what I like about the Triflex is that you can assemble the powerhead in a low position which takes most of the weight off the handle. I tried both and now only use it in this configuration.

I know you said you’re looking for a Dyson, but before you buy, I would look at the Miele stick vacs. They are better quality IMO. I have a Triflex HX1 and it’s incredible and at a similar price point. The suction is crazy good and it’s extremely easy to use. It also feels really well made. If you have a Miele dealer near you, stop in and try it out.
