The best self-standing cordless vacuum fit

Our pick

Miele Triflex HX2 Cat & Dog

One Miele vacuum shown in three configurations. Only the bottom-PowerUnit setup supports a locked upright short pause.

Miele Triflex HX2 Cat & Dog

The Miele Triflex HX2 Cat & Dog is the best premium self-standing fit for a locked upright short pause with the PowerUnit at the bottom, while retaining HEPA filtration and a powered pet tool. Duoflex is simpler. Hoover offers a large-bin carpet design at lower cost.

Why it fits this need

  • Stability when parked
  • Pet-hair and carpet capability
