Wireless vacuum cleaners Miele and Bork. What’s the money for??

New in 2020 – a vertical cordless vacuum cleaner Miele Triflex HX1 became the most expensive in the American market, displacing in the second place the former leader in cost – a cordless vacuum cleaner Bork V800.

Let’s see what these vacuum cleaners can do.

Miele Triflex HX1 cordless vertical vacuum cleaner

Company introduces 7 models. Vacuum cleaners differ in equipment and color. In total, there are 5 different colors:

• “Graphite gray” is for the base version.
• “White lotus” for the basic version and the HX1 Performance model,
• “Ruby Red” – for the base version and the HX1 Runner model,
• “Infinity Grey PF” – for the flagship HX1 Pro model,
• “Black Obsidian” for the HX1 Cat & Dog model, which features a compact electric brush.

Benefits

While all manufacturers call their upright models “2 in 1”, Miele considers their model to be “3 in 1”. The technology they invented is now waiting for a patent.

The bottom line is this: there are three PowerUnit installation options.

In each case, the center of gravity of the vacuum cleaner changes, which allows you to use it to clean different surfaces with maximum efficiency.

1. PowerUnit is located on top, directly under the handle.

You can easily vacuum under furniture or clean the ceiling with the detachable brush.

2. PowerUnit on the bottom of the vacuum cleaner.

Center of gravity is shifted downward to help relieve strain on your wrist while you hold the vacuum. This positioning of the unit is optimal for cleaning large areas. In this configuration, the Triflex vacuum cleaner can be left upright without any additional support.

3. PowerUnit without suction tube and electric brush.

The vacuum cleaner becomes a small, “handheld” vacuum cleaner. In this assembly, the vacuum cleaner is suitable for picking up crumbs from a table or cleaning a car interior.

Operating Time

Triflex has a maximum run time of 60 minutes.

The flagship Triflex HX1 Pro comes with two batteries. So it takes 120 minutes.

Producers claim that one battery charge is enough to sweep up to 125 m² when using Multi Floor XXL and setting it to 1 power level.

This is a good performance for an upright vacuum cleaner. In this amount of time, you can clean an apartment of 60 to 80 m2, practically from floor to ceiling.

Powered by

Varta Lithium-ion batteries.

Battery consists of seven high-performance cells.

Storage

1. The Triflex can be hung on the wall thanks to the included wall bracket, independently from the PowerUnit.
2. The Triflex can be placed without additional support: simply leave it upright and plug the charging cable into the appliance.
3. It is possible to charge the battery separately from the device.

Accessories

All models in the series come standard with a crevice nozzle, upholstery nozzle and gently vacuuming nozzle. A compact brush, spare battery and charger are optional.

• All models have a 28 cm wide MultiFloor XXL nozzle with a power brush.

It detects the type of flooring and adjusts the power level accordingly.

• HX1 Cat & Dog models have compact power brushes.
• The HX1 Cat & Dog and HX1 Pro MultiFloor XXL are equipped with a BrilliantLight system.

Filtering

Uses a three-stage filtration system Triflex:

Large dust particles accumulate in the dust container, fine dust settles in a special filter.

Hygiene Lifetime Exhaust Air Filter requires no replacement or maintenance for life.

Lifetime HEPA filter, on Triflex Cat & Dog and Pro models, traps fine dust and allergens.

Care

Twist2open function allows you to open the dust container with one sweep for hygienic cleaning.

• Price of vacuum cleaner Miele Triflex HX1 Pro – 69 900 Dollars.

Conclusions

New technology is linked to making it easier to clean hard-to-reach places. Even the best upright vacuums have a hard time holding a vacuum cleaner at arm’s length for eaves and ceiling cleaning.

Another innovation is the high quality battery. And its durability and performance are half the battle for cordless models. After all, how many upright vacuum cleaners from different manufacturers are gathering dust in pantries after a year of use, when the battery no longer recharges?

Otherwise – filtration, storage, charging – everything is about the same as in the more affordable models 40-50 ths.

Wireless vacuum cleaner Bork V800

Power output: 93.6W.

Power suction power: 190 watts.

Advantages

The manufacturers write that the vacuum cleaner has a FlexLift system. With a single movement, the main unit changes position so the brush load is only 0.9kg when cleaning.

Another advantage is the flexible attachment of the transformer nozzle. The brush easily changes the path of movement even under the furniture.

It offers 3 levels of power, which can be set with the switch on the handle of the vacuum cleaner.

Operating Time

• On a single charge Bork vacuum cleaner V800 runs up to 60 minutes. This time is enough to clean 180 m2.
• At medium power – 30 minutes.
• Runs for 17 minutes in MAX mode.

On the handle of vacuum cleaner is an indication of the remaining charge.

Decent cleaning time is declared. This is the time it takes a vacuum cleaner to clean the entire apartment.

Power supply

Uses a lithium-ion battery. There is a charging station, of course.

Charging time – 6 hours.

• The main brush with light
• The nozzle – transformer – replaces the crevice, for the care of soft technique, care for delicate surfaces.
• the delicate brush
• The tube for cleaning in hard to reach places
• Mini nozzle

A lot of nozzles in the kit. This is great! But I do not understand why so many. After all the transformer replaces them all!

Filtration

3 filters: Cone, rectangular fine filter, coarse filter.

Filters are washable, so you don’t have to buy new ones.

The dust canister volume is 0,7 l. It’s big enough. Enough for cleaning a large apartment.

Care

Easy cleaning of the dust container.

• Price: 59000 Dollars.

Conclusions

Like everything at Bork: beautiful, functional, but expensive.

In general, I did not see any special technologies and breakthrough features in these models. High brand fee, design, ergonomics. And the similar functionality is presented in models with more reasonable price.
