When to Choose Miele Duoflex HX1
Miele loyalists who value build quality, quiet operation, and the flexible joint design

- Unique flexible joint design for reaching under furniture
- 2-stage filtration with 99.99% fine dust capture
- Quiet operation ideal for noise-sensitive homes
Limitations
- Smallest dustbin in the roundup at 0.3L
- Lower 121 AW suction trails most competitors
- Premium price for mid-range performance specs
