Miele Triflex HX1 Vacuum Repair

[@rsmith6260]

Thank you very much. Your advice saved me a trip to the repair shop. ❤

Thank you for posting this! We hope to see you at the VDTA in FL

Thanks again! Great watching you address all things Miele. I have several Miele vacs (purchased used) - a classic Red Star, a late-model Marin C3, a U1 Dynamic Dog & Cat (why no more bagged upright?), a Quickstep, and now two HX1s. The second Triflex got me an additional battery and the smaller head accessory. Though in retrospect, I might rather have one HX2 than two HX1s. My first used HX1 had an issue with the brush head bearing (I think you mentioned the issue in the video). The brush motor itself was still fine, but my local Miele guy said they don't supply the bearing assembly apart from the motor. He was frustrated that In his own shop he had to replace several units with the same issue. He got me the part and I did the repair myself. It works great. In large part due to your thorough reviews, explanations, repair demos, etc., I am confident in what I feel comfortable doing myself and and not doing myself at home. For example, I disassembled/reassembled the Quickstep but would not brave the timing adjustment on the U1. A few questions: 1. Might you do a video on the Triflex brush head motor repair at some point? 2. Is the new style HEPA filter (with the internal twist to clean feature) compatible with the first-generation Triflex HX1? 3. Might the stronger and more efficient main motor in the Triflex 2 ever be able to be installed in the first-generation Triflex HX1?

Awesomeness video. Thank you 😊

Having a bagless stick vacuum, I do regret purchasing it and not getting one of Miele’s C3. They are so much maintenance and just gets to dirty and nasty. Great video, you’re the best.

[@PerformanceReviews]

It's never too late to get a C3. I've seen a few used ones pop up on local used marketplaces lately. I've always been a big fan of having my cake and eating it too

[@AM-of6tk]

Can I take apart the power head like you have and wash it

[@m.f.3347]

where did you get a replacement motor filter? I looked online but it seems like the "genuine" part is like, 100 bucks. are there any generic suppliers?

[@PerformanceReviews]

Your local Miele dealer will have what you need. Link in the description. I don't believe there's generic supplies I wouldn't use it if they had it. Air flow specifications have way too tight tolerances for most generic companies to make a proper filter for a vacuum.

Great video. How can I get a replacement belt for my SEB430 HX1 [SEB430]? Thanks.

[@PerformanceReviews]

Go to your local dealer. You have other problems not just a belt.

[@DaveS-w5c]

Any pointers on how to fixing the floor detection not working on a 13 months old HX2?

[@PerformanceReviews]

It's under warranty bring it to your local dealer and have them take care of it

[@veluspreudhomme22]

Nice video, you’re quite a handy guy. We own a Triflex HX2 and my lovely daughter wanted to suck up a small amount of water from the floor and she did….Now the middle led of the three is flashing when you start the Miele. Do you know how to restart or reset the Miele? I tried everything, compressed air, hairdryer…keeps flashing.

[@PerformanceReviews]

Bring it to your authorized dealer and see what they say.

Miele's use of sound deadening is second to none, and it's easy to implement to. I don't understand why all manufacturers don't use it. Dyson, for example, is a company with unlimited amounts of money. How much would it cost to incorporate sound deadening in their vacuums? Sebo could do better too. Love the soothing music!

[@PerformanceReviews]

Thanks for watching. I definitely always appreciate when companies put sound deadening in their products.

Hello, I have a Triflex HX1. My brush stopped rolling as if it has no power. Do you have any recommended DIY troublshooting tactics?

[@PerformanceReviews]

The brush should be stopped in the upright position and on hard floor. Bring it to your local dealer most of them are under warranty.

[@aycabbas]

Same problem here, in some positions the motor just stopped, sometimes just the led and brush, any recommend?

[@PerformanceReviews]

Bring it to your local dealer and have them fix it

[@malcolmeter]

Same problem, Lights come on but the brush not working, sadly mine is out of warranty, I came here to see if there was a common way to repair the motor

[@nipunravi9173]

Hi, could you make a video of replacing the belt which drives the floor tool brush on HX1 triflex?

[@PerformanceReviews]

They are all under warranty currently, you should bring it to your local dealer.

[@bartoszslosarek758]

Hi nice video like always. What do you use to polish the Miele vacuum cleaner?

[@PerformanceReviews]

[@GreggMPlahy]

Polish your vacuum with 1). Lemon Pledge, 2).Automotive spray waxes like Turtle Wax, or my favorite, Lucas speed wax

[@jamieclift4415]

How much would a service like this cost?

[@PerformanceReviews]

Depends on the store. My store $140.

[@alecwang224]

My the light on my HX1 just went out. Any ideas what it could be?

[@PerformanceReviews]

No idea. If you've tried fully charging your battery and that doesn't solve it, I would bring it to your local authorized dealer.

[@Bluecubevacuums]

Silicon Sally was not a reference I expected to hear

[@PerformanceReviews]

RCR has had an impact on the world.

[@adambentley298]

How would one easily change the filter? Why would Miele make it so difficult to change but recommend it every 3 years? Seems strange.

[@PerformanceReviews]

Because bagless customers probably will just throw it away when they're done in about a year

[@adambentley298]

@@PerformanceReviews I have a HX2 and it’s probably my favourite vacuum I have. It’s great and hoping to look after it and keep the performance going as long as I can so I’ll be looking to replace it when it’s due. I had a HX1 but upgraded as suction is much better and the soft roller is great on hard floors.
