Stiftung Warentest’s Latest Rankings of Cordless Vacuum Cleaners
In the latest issue of Stiftung Warentest, cordless vacuum cleaners have undergone thorough evaluations, adding ten new models to their extensive analysis. This brings the total count of tested cordless vacuums to an impressive 151, with a standout model receiving top honors.
Miele Triflex HX2 CarCare: The Unmatched Champion
Retaining its crown, the Miele Triflex HX2 CarCare achieved an impressive rating of ‘good’ (2.1). Alongside Miele, other brands such as Bosch, Shark, and Samsung were also put to the test. Among the newly evaluated models, only two earned the ‘good’ designation, while the rest fell into ‘satisfactory’ and ‘adequate’ categories. Unfortunately, some models were rated ‘poor’ and did not meet the testing standards.
The Miele Triflex HX2 CarCare excels in its ability to effortlessly pick up dust, large debris, fibers, and pet hair from carpets, all while maintaining a relatively quiet operation. However, it does face some challenges with coarse debris on hard surfaces. Additionally, testers noted that the battery life is limited to just 12 minutes at maximum power, and the recharge time is lengthy at around 3 hours and 28 minutes. Fortunately, a replacement battery is included with the purchase.
On the fronts of durability, safety, and the absence of harmful substances, the Miele model performs exceptionally well. Its overall rating of ‘good’ reflects concerns regarding battery longevity, a somewhat complicated battery replacement process, and handling tasks like dust box emptying and filter changing, which could be simplified. Priced at over 700 euros, it is also the most expensive cordless vacuum cleaner in the lineup.
The Miele Triflex HX2 CarCare has consistently maintained its position as the leading cordless vacuum since the 10/2024 issue. While improvements in battery life are needed, the model’s performance, safety features, and non-toxic materials make it a compelling choice despite its premium price tag.
