A premium long-runtime Triflex package for larger and hard-floor-heavy homes, combining two exchangeable batteries, the illuminated SEB435 MultiFloor XXL electrobrush, the HX-HC10 Hardfloor Care Tool, HEPA filtration, FloorDetect and Miele's adaptable 3-in-1 design.
Material No. 12878490 · Article No. 41WDL034USA · EAN 4002516922575 · Local demonstrations and support in Fairfax and Leesburg.
Quick Summary
The Miele Triflex HX3 Plus is the long-runtime, hard-floor-focused package in the HX3 family. Its defining upgrades are two exchangeable VARTA batteries, the illuminated SEB435 MultiFloor XXL electrobrush, and the HX-HC10 Hardfloor Care Tool with a soft roller for delicate flooring.
Miele publishes up to 2 × 70 minutes with the PowerUnit alone on Low. With an electrical accessory, published runtime is up to 2 × 38 minutes on Low and 2 × 15 minutes on High. Those figures are combined across both batteries—not continuous runtime from one battery.
The Plus is strongest for larger mixed-floor homes, hard-floor-heavy layouts and owners who want fewer charging interruptions. Its tradeoffs are an approximately 8-pound weight, a 0.5-liter bin, bagless disposal and no dedicated powered upholstery brush in the reference package.
Product Overview
The Plus retains the complete HX3 platform—Digital Efficiency Motor, Vortex Technology, FloorDetect, HEPA lifetime filter, digital display, timed Boost and patented 3-in-1 configuration—then expands the package for longer cleaning sessions and delicate hard floors.
The SEB435 electrobrush handles the main cleaning route and uses BrilliantLight to reveal debris in darker areas. The HX-HC10 Hardfloor Care Tool adds a soft woven nylon roller for specialized care on delicate hard floors. When the first battery is depleted, the second battery extends coverage without waiting for a complete recharge.
- ✓SEB435 MultiFloor XXL electrobrush with BrilliantLight.
- ✓HX-HC10 Hardfloor Care Tool with soft roller.
- ✓Two exchangeable VARTA lithium-ion batteries.
- ✓Dusting brush, upholstery tool, crevice nozzle, mounting clip and wall mount.
Expert Recommendation
We recommend the HX3 Plus when total cleaning coverage and hard-floor care matter more than a specialized pet-upholstery attachment. It is the strongest HX3 dry-vacuum package for larger homes, open layouts and owners who regularly clean both hard floors and carpet.
The second battery changes the ownership experience more than the headline runtime alone suggests: one battery can be in use while the other is ready for the next floor, room group or cleaning session.
Standard HX3: one battery and the core floorhead are enough.
HX3 Cat & Dog: powered pet-hair removal on sofas, stairs and vehicle seats matters more than the soft hard-floor roller.
HX3 Aqua: wet cleaning of water-resistant hard floors is the specialized priority.
Bagged Miele: sealed disposal, larger capacity or uninterrupted corded deep cleaning outweigh cordless convenience.
Best For
The HX3 Plus delivers its strongest value when the household will genuinely use the second battery and soft hard-floor roller.
- ✓Larger homes: two batteries reduce charging interruptions.
- ✓Hard-floor-heavy layouts: the HX-HC10 soft roller targets delicate smooth flooring.
- ✓Mixed flooring: SEB435, FloorDetect and the hard-floor roller cover carpet, rugs and hard surfaces.
- ✓Allergy-conscious owners: Miele publishes 99.999% exhaust-air filtration.
- ✓Frequent cleaners: self-standing Comfort mode and digital runtime information support daily use.
- !You need a dedicated powered pet brush for upholstery and stairs.
- !You expect 140 minutes with the electrical floorhead.
- !You want an ultra-light cordless; the HX3 is approximately 8 pounds.
- !You strongly prefer sealed-bag disposal.
- !You require wet cleaning in the box; the reference PDF package does not list AquaTwister.
Key Features
These features most directly affect coverage, floor compatibility, visibility, filtration and ownership.
Exchangeable batteries provide up to 140 minutes of combined PowerUnit-only runtime on Low.
A soft woven nylon roller for gentler cleaning of delicate hard-floor surfaces.
The wide electrobrush illuminates the cleaning path so dust and fine debris are easier to see.
Detects flooring changes and adjusts power between hard floors, rugs and carpet.
Move the PowerUnit for balanced floor cleaning, maximum reach or handheld tasks.
Miele publishes 99.999% exhaust-air filtration under its stated test standard.

Provides 10 seconds of increased vacuum power for concentrated debris.
Stainless-steel gauze helps debris slide out and reduces manual contact during emptying.
What Makes the HX3 Plus Stand Out
The HX3 Plus combines the two upgrades most likely to matter in a larger mixed-floor home: a second battery for extended coverage and a dedicated soft roller for delicate hard floors.
Self-Standing Convenience & Wall Storage
Comfort mode allows the vacuum to stand upright for short pauses, while the included wall mount provides a dedicated home for charging and accessory storage.
The documented package lists one power supply unit and two batteries. Buyers who need a specific charging routine should confirm current charging accessories with AceVacuums before purchase.
Product Comparisons
The best HX3 package depends on lower entry cost, pet textiles, long runtime, delicate hard floors or wet cleaning.
The Plus adds a second battery, SEB435 BrilliantLight and the HX-HC10 Hardfloor Care Tool. The standard model keeps the core HX3 platform with one battery and a simpler package.
Plus includes two batteries and a soft hard-floor roller. Cat & Dog includes one battery and the HX-EC10 powered brush for upholstery, pet beds, stairs and vehicle seats.
Plus emphasizes extended dry-vacuum runtime and a soft hard-floor roller. Aqua adds AquaTwister wet cleaning for water-resistant hard floors.
HX3 adds longer published runtime, digital remaining-time information, timed Boost and the updated stainless-steel filter cage.
HX3 Plus wins for cordless convenience, self-standing pauses and quick multi-room cleaning. A bagged canister offers continuous power, larger capacity and more contained disposal.
It is valuable when one powered-floorhead battery is not enough for the home. It adds less value when cleaning sessions are short or one battery is rarely depleted.
Questions Buyers Commonly Ask

Yes. The reference package lists the HX-HC10 Hardfloor Care Tool with a soft woven nylon roller.
No. Choose Cat & Dog when a dedicated powered upholstery and stair brush is required.

FAQs
1. What is the exact model number of the Miele Triflex HX3 Plus?
The product is the Miele Triflex HX3 Plus in Titanium Pearlfinish. Manufacturer material number: 12878490; article number: 41WDL034USA; EAN or GTIN-13: 4002516922575.
2. What makes the HX3 Plus different from the standard Triflex HX3?
The Plus package adds a second exchangeable VARTA battery, the SEB435 MultiFloor XXL floorhead with BrilliantLight, and the HX-HC10 Hardfloor Care Tool. The standard HX3 includes one battery and a simpler core package.
3. How many batteries are included?
The documented package includes two exchangeable VARTA lithium-ion batteries, giving the Plus model double-battery coverage.
4. Does the Miele Triflex HX3 Plus really run for 140 minutes?
Miele publishes up to 140 minutes as the combined maximum with the PowerUnit used alone on Low across two batteries. Actual runtime changes with the floorhead, power level, floor resistance, debris load and battery condition.
5. What is the runtime with the powered floorhead?
Miele publishes up to 2 × 38 minutes on Low and 2 × 15 minutes on High with an electrical accessory, for combined maximums of 76 and 30 minutes across both batteries.
6. How long does each battery take to charge?
Miele publishes an approximate full charging time of 240 minutes, or four hours. The documented package lists two batteries and one power supply unit.
7. What is the Hardfloor Care Tool?
The HX-HC10 Hardfloor Care Tool uses a soft woven nylon roller intended for gentle cleaning of delicate hard floors. It is one of the Plus package’s defining accessories.
8. Is the HX3 Plus good for carpet?
Yes. The included SEB435 MultiFloor XXL electrobrush is designed for carpet and hard-floor transitions, and FloorDetect adjusts power as flooring changes.
9. Can the HX3 Plus stand upright by itself?
Yes. In Comfort mode, the PowerUnit sits low and the vacuum can use its self-standing park position for short pauses and convenient storage.
10. What are the three Triflex configurations?
Comfort mode balances the weight low for floor cleaning; Reach mode positions the PowerUnit near the handle for low furniture and overhead work; Compact mode creates a handheld vacuum for quick above-floor cleaning.
11. Does the HX3 Plus have FloorDetect and BrilliantLight?
Yes. FloorDetect adjusts power for different flooring, and the SEB435 electrobrush includes BrilliantLight to illuminate dust and debris in darker areas.
12. Is the HX3 Plus suitable for allergy-conscious households?
Miele publishes 99.999% exhaust-air filtration with the HEPA lifetime filter under its stated test standard. Because the dust container is bagless, sensitive users should still empty it carefully.
13. How large is the dust container?
The dust container capacity is 0.5 liter, or 0.02 cubic foot. Twist2open and the updated stainless-steel gauze filter cage are designed to make emptying easier and reduce direct contact with debris.
14. Does the HX3 Plus include the Electro Compact pet brush?
No. The reference PDF’s documented Plus package includes the Hardfloor Care Tool and two batteries, not the HX-EC10 powered pet brush. Choose the Cat & Dog package when pet hair on upholstery, stairs or vehicle seats is the priority.
15. Does the HX3 Plus include AquaTwister wet cleaning?
The Miele training PDF’s documented launch package for material number 12878490 does not list AquaTwister. Always use the active AceVacuums product page and its current What’s Included list as the controlling sales information.
16. How is the HX3 Plus improved over the HX2 Pro?
The HX3 generation adds longer published runtime, a digital display with remaining-time information, timed Boost mode, and an updated filter cage designed for easier emptying.
17. Can the HX3 Plus replace a full-size vacuum?
It can serve as the primary vacuum in many medium and larger mixed-floor homes. Very large carpet-heavy homes, heavy shedding, or buyers who prefer sealed bags may still benefit from a corded Miele canister as the primary deep cleaner.
