The Miele Triflex HX2 is a sturdily-built cordless vacuum. It's similar in quality to its predecessor, with a body made of thick, high-grade plastic, which doesn't creak when it's moved around. It doesn't really differ much in overall appearance either, with only slightly more pronounced gold accents, a dustbin made of darker, more opaque plastic, and a redesigned filter system, which also features an eye-catching gold finish. The vacuum's color depends on the trim you select: the basic HX2 is made of glossy white plastic, the mid-range Cat & Dog has a glossy black finish, and the flagship Pro has a matte grey body. Like its predecessor, the handle does feel somewhat cheap and hollow.

All parts clip together and come apart fairly intuitively, though its handle takes a bit of force to remove, and you'll need to make sure the dustbin is precisely seated in its slot when reinstalling it.
