Our Verdict
Miele Duoflex HX1
Dyson V11
The Miele Duoflex HX1 and the Dyson V11 have different strengths. The Dyson offers superior performance on every surface type and has a larger dust container, so you'll have to empty it less frequently. Unlike the Miele, there are also no recurring costs. That said, the Miele is much better built, offers superior battery life, and depending on the variant, can be more versatile thanks to the inclusion of an extension hose and extendable, flexible crevice tool.
