Miele Triflex HX3 Aqua

The Miele Triflex HX3 Aqua is Made in Germany and brings wet cleaning to the HX3 platform — the AquaTwister brush switches from vacuuming to mopping in one motion, backed by up to 70 minutes of cordless runtime and the same digital display and Boost Mode as the rest of the HX3 range.

Best for: Homes with hard floors that want one cordless machine for both vacuuming and mopping, without switching to a separate mop.

The Triflex HX3 Aqua pairs Miele's patented 3-in-1 design with the AquaTwister wet-cleaning brush — twin rotating pads with adjustable water flow and a 360° SpotLight that reveals dried-on dirt and stains as you clean. The core HX3 platform carries over unchanged: a Digital Efficiency Motor with Vortex Technology, a digital display showing precise remaining runtime, one-touch Boost Mode for 42% more suction, FloorDetect automatic surface adjustment on the included MultiFloor XXL electrobrush, and a maintenance-free HEPA Lifetime filter capturing 99.999% of fine dust and allergens. Swap between the electrobrush for daily vacuuming and the AquaTwister for a deeper wash — both run off the same PowerUnit and battery.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the HX3 Aqua and the standard HX3?
The platform is identical. The Aqua ships with the AquaTwister wet-cleaning brush included in the box; on the standard HX3, AquaTwister is available separately as an add-on.

Can I still vacuum carpets with the Aqua? Yes — it comes with the standard MultiFloor XXL electrobrush for carpets and hard floors; the AquaTwister is a second brush head you swap in for wet cleaning on hard floors only.

How much water does the AquaTwister hold? The onboard tank holds approximately 300 mL (10.1 fl oz), enough for a full-home hard floor clean between refills.

Does the HEPA filter ever need replacing? No. The HEPA Lifetime Filter is maintenance-free and stays with the machine for its entire lifespan.

Can I buy a second battery? Yes — additional VARTA 25.2V batteries are available separately and compatible with the entire Triflex HX3 range. For a model that includes a second battery from the factory, see the HX3 Plus Aqua.
