Miele Triflex HX3 Plus Aqua

The Miele Triflex HX3 Plus Aqua is Made in Germany and is the most complete model in the HX3 lineup — a second VARTA battery gives up to 140 minutes of cordless runtime, and the included AquaTwister brush switches the machine from vacuuming to mopping, so one vacuum handles the whole house.

Best for: Larger homes with a mix of hard floors and carpet that want the full HX3 platform — maximum runtime and wet cleaning — without compromise.

The Triflex HX3 Plus Aqua combines everything the HX3 generation offers: a Digital Efficiency Motor with Vortex Technology, a digital display with runtime countdown, one-touch Boost Mode, 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. A second battery and charging cradle nearly double total runtime to 140 minutes, and the AquaTwister brush — twin rotating pads with adjustable water flow and a 360° SpotLight — adds wet cleaning for hard floors without buying a separate mop.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the HX3 Plus Aqua and the HX3 Plus?
The platform and second battery are identical. The Plus Aqua adds the AquaTwister wet-cleaning brush in the box; on the HX3 Plus, AquaTwister is available separately as an add-on.

What is the difference between the HX3 Plus Aqua and the HX3 Aqua?
Both include the AquaTwister brush. The Plus Aqua adds a second VARTA battery and charging cradle for up to 140 minutes of total runtime, versus 70 minutes on the HX3 Aqua.

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.

Do I need to charge both batteries at the same time? No — the included charging cradle keeps the spare topped up and ready while the other is in use, so you can swap mid-clean without waiting for a full recharge.
