Value Rating: 3.5/5.The Miele Triflex HX1 Cat and Dog is a premium vacuum cleaner with a price tag to match.

It’s right up there at the highest end of the spectrum, next to the Dyson V11..This model sits in the middle of the Triflex range, with the HX1 being the entry-level version, and the Pro the next step up.If you want to downgrade to the standard HX1, you’ll be missing out on the motorised pet tool and the LED lights.

So is the Cat and Dog version worth the money?.For Miele’s first go at a cordless, this vacuum offers a strong performance.

The powerful suction and high build quality combine to make it an enjoyable and effective cleaner..

It might need emptying more often, but this feels like a small drawback when it’s powerful enough to replace (most) traditional corded vacuums.These tips only apply to carpets that are moderately wet with clean water.

For large leaks or sewage water, contact a professional immediately..One of the easiest ways to dry a patch of wet carpet is with towels.

This only works for small areas, however, and probably won’t dry the underlay..Spread the towels over the wet area, then walk over them to soak up as much water as possible.
