Miele Duoflex HX1
Light daily cleaning on mixed floors
Suits up to 1,000 sq ft (93 m²)55 min rated at the lowest power. My threshold: 60 min or more for up to 1,500 sq ft, less than that up to 1,000 sq ft. No published standard exists.

If you buy through a link here, the store may pay me a commission. Your price stays the same. How that works.

My short take
Rated for up to 55 minutes on MIN without the electrobrush, and 12 minutes on MAX with it, at 7 lb with a washable two-level hygiene filter. Its 10.1 oz bin is small.
