Our Verdict

Dyson V15 Detect

Miele Duoflex HX1

The Dyson V15 Detect is a better cordless vacuum overall than the Miele Duoflex HX1. Its raw performance outpaces the Miele on every surface type, and its battery lasts longer while using its low-power setting. Its dirt compartment is also significantly bigger than the Miele, and there are no recurring costs. That said, the Miele does offer a much more premium-feeling package, as it feels better built, uses nicer materials (like a metal wand), and can be the more versatile option owing to its extension hose (depending on the variant).
