Super suction power but cumbersome
The suction power is so good that even the dust from the neighboring apartment is sucked in. The collected dirt can not possibly be only from me. Impossible. Or is there comet dust? I still have to investigate.
The thing also has much more stamina than I, the battery level hardly goes down - because you want to believe the LED display.
The floor nozzle (variant Cats + Dogs) lights up the rubbish relentlessly, it's horrible! It is also built quite flat, so you could also vacuum under the TV furniture. Could - the unnecessarily clunky articulated mechanism of the floor nozzle prevents that. What a Konsrtuktions-Fail!
The filter cleaning is quite cumbersome. Once you're done, you can vacuum the floor around the bin again. But you may then pick up a certificate from Daniel Düsentrieb as recognition of your expertise in complex components and their assembly and disassembly.
The wall bracket is far away from the wall and is actually too weakly built. Never use the container when the vacuum cleaner is hanging in the wall bracket!Pro
- Suction power
- Endurance
- Relatively quiet
Contra
- Articulated mechanism for floor nozzle
- Filter cleaning
- Wall bracket stands far away
Disappointed
The floor nozzle and the joint are too big, so I can't clean under the sofa and sideboard (photo).
It takes me twice as long as before.
When the motor part is mounted on top you can't put it down because of the weight,it tilts forward.
Battery time leaves much to be desired.
Pro
- Desing
Contra
- Heavy
- The rebuilding needs strength
- Filter cleaning extremely complicated and tedious.
- Filter cleaning needs time, patience and good cursing skills.
- For older people with problems on the hands the rebuild is not possible.
- Wheels on the floor nozzle too hard, therefore too loud when rolling on the parquet floor.

Good vacuum cleaner - when it works
I have had the Triflex HX1 Cat & Dog for just under a year. With two longhaired cats and cat litter on carpets and parquet, handling (medium) and weight (rather heavy) is secondary for me. He must above all suck well - and he does ... as long as the electric brush works! After a short time, the brush weakened - although I cleaned it after each suction - to then give up the ghost after only two months. Service and warranty processing were relatively uncomplicated, but I had to wait several weeks for the replacement brush. Sure: March 2021: Corona, delivery problems, etc.. - I have just bridged with the old vacuum.
Today (January 2022) has now the second electric brush quit their service and I find that now but very weak!
Who wants to buy a new device every year, I can recommend the Triflex.
But I myself am now looking for a battery vacuum cleaner, which hopefully lasts longer.Pro
- Suction power
- Volume
Contra
- Susceptible brush
After a week of use, I can say that I am very satisfied.
Pro
- Price performance top
- Very good cleaning performance with the large cleaning brush
- Very good cleaning performance with the small cleaning brush
- Animal hair is well absorbed
- Very good quality appearance
Contra
- Battery power. 30min at medium level
- Emptying the dirt bin takes some getting used to and is very dusty.
Problem with long cat hair.
I bought the teat for my mother, who has 2 longhaired cats. After a few weeks of use, here is my assessment:
Pro
- Very good suction power
- Design looks high quality
- Cable can be hidden in docking station
- Not disturbingly loud
- Carpet sensor in floor nozzle
- Low level is also usable
- Conversion options are very practical
- Weight distribution, especially when the motor is down
- Very practical in everyday life (without long cat hair)
Contra
- In the case of the ball bearing of the floor nozzle, the hair is pulled in and destroys the plastic through friction.
- This means that the floor nozzle has to be cleaned constantly, 1-3 times per suction cycle. Tedious (see picture)!
- The battery capacity is just enough for 80-100m^2. A stronger battery would not be wrong.
- The docking station is not self-standing, must be fixed to the wall.
- Attention: drilling 45cm from the floor according to instructions is unnecessarily high
- Dust bin is very small and takes some getting used to for emptying.
- Rebuilding the hoover: The pipes tend to get wedged.
- Of course, transparent parts immediately look dirty and unsightly.
