Miele Triflex HX3 Cat & Dog — Private Sale

The Miele Triflex HX3 Cat & Dog is Made in Germany and purpose-built for pet households — the only HX3 model that ships with the powered Electro Compact pet hair brush, delivering up to 70 minutes of cordless runtime and real-time battery tracking via a new digital display.

Best for: Pet owners who need a versatile, high-performance cordless vacuum for carpets, hard floors, upholstery, and stairs — all in one machine.

The Triflex HX3 Cat & Dog combines Miele's patented 3-in-1 design with two dedicated pet cleaning tools and a maintenance-free HEPA Lifetime filter that captures 99.999% of fine dust, allergens, and pet dander. The MultiFloor XXL electrobrush with FloorDetect technology automatically adjusts suction power and brush speed between carpet and hard floors — no manual switching required. One-touch Boost Mode delivers up to 42% more suction for 10 seconds when concentrated power is needed. The new digital display shows precise remaining runtime in minutes for each mode, switching to a live countdown timer when Boost Mode is active — a feature not available on the previous HX2 generation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Cat & Dog different from the standard Triflex HX3?
The Cat & Dog is the only HX3 model that includes the powered Electro Compact brush HX-EC 20 — a motorized mini brush designed to lift embedded pet hair from upholstery, stairs, and car seats. The standard HX3 does not include this tool.

How long does the battery last?
Up to 70 minutes in Low Mode with the PowerUnit solo (without the electrobrush attached). Runtime varies by power setting and whether a brush attachment is in use.

Does the floorhead work on both carpet and hard floors?
Yes. The MultiFloor XXL electrobrush uses FloorDetect technology to automatically adjust suction power and brush speed as you move between floor types — no manual switching required.

Does the HEPA filter ever need replacing?
No. The HEPA Lifetime Filter is maintenance-free and stays with the machine for its entire lifespan — nothing to reorder or replace.

Can I buy a second battery?
Yes — additional VARTA 25.2V batteries are available separately and are compatible with the entire Triflex HX3 range.
