Our Verdict
Dyson V8
Miele Duoflex HX1
The Miele Duoflex HX1 and the Dyson V8 are cordless vacuums that trade blows. The Miele is the better choice if you prioritize versatility. It feels much better built, is more maneuverable, and has a longer battery life. It also offers a wider range of configurations, including an extension hose for some variants. Though the Miele offers better pet hair pick-up, the Dyson has the edge performance-wise. Thanks to its superior suction, it provides superior carpet cleaning and removes more debris from cracks and crevices.
