Our Verdict
Simplicity S65
Miele Triflex HX1
The Miele Triflex HX1 is better than the Simplicity S65 for most use cases. The Miele is better built, incurs lower recurring costs, is easier to maneuver, and delivers superior cleaning performance on bare floors and low-pile carpets. Its unique three-in-one design also allows you to configure it as a handheld, upright, or stick vacuum. Meanwhile, the Simplicity cleans more debris from high-pile carpets, has a larger dirt compartment, and takes less time to charge.
