Miele TurboTeQ Turbo Brush STB 305-3, Attachable Floorhead for Effortless Vacuuming of Low-Medium Pile Carpet Black 28cm x 28cm

The TurboTeq attachment really transforms this vacuum from good to great -- especially for those with pet hair and rugs!

Great product

Works good. Needs leds in the clear window so you can see the dust on th floor.

Yep. Fits and works great. My old one just wore out and that was that.

Worked great as a replacement for my Meile power vacuum cleaner. Brush attachment worked better than original.

I thoroughly researched the product beforethe purchase! !

For what this item costs, the materials should be MUCH more durable. I thought the original power head was a marginal design, but at least I could remove 2 + shaped screws and quickly clean it out. This one has 6 Torx screws, 4 of them buried under the wheels. Not only is the removing the internal parts 10x more difficult, the design is terrible. What happens when plastic is rotated at high speed ? Add a small amount of pet hair and you get FRICTION. What happens over time when plastic mixes with friction ? MELTING !!You guessed it, after just one week of use this junk seized up. I thought maybe it was due to dog hair getting trapped in the roller - nope - the cheap plastic bearings they used simply melted and fused, locking up the roller. I dismantled it and found it was not repairable. What a pathetic design. I would give this -5 stars if I could, Miele , you just made it so that I will probably never buy another one of your products again - nice work ! I do not recommend this to anyone who has anything other than light dust to pick up. A small amount of dog hair literally destroyed the roller and bearing it sits in. BAD DESIGN !!!The first photo shows what the bearing is supposed to look like. The second two show the overheated, melted mess that resulted in just a small amount of dog hair being caught in the bearing. I literally had to pry them apart, and there is no way to repair it. WORST PURCHASE EVER !!

I have a Miele Aquarius (with powerhead) I purchased 10 years ago, which is still cleaning the same amazing way it did when I first bought it. About a year ago I purchased the Miele C1 Classic too, given the amazing quality of the Miele Aquarius I assumed all Miele’s of the same kind of quality, I was wrong. We have a three story floor home and I hoped the C1 Classic would help with lugging the Aquarius up and down three levels, plus the Classic is lighter and targeted for hardwoods and low pile area rugs - this is all that exists on two floors of our home.I assumed the Classic would be a downgrade to some extent given the pricing difference between it and the Aquarius, such as extra features, etc., but never realized the head, (SBD 285 Classic Combination) on the C1 Classic was such a poor piece of equipment. It was so bad I assumed for sometime Miele had changed the quality of their vacuums in the 10 years since I purchased my beloved Aquarius. That is, until I found this Miele Turbo Teq head.Unlike the SBD combo head which comes standard on the C1 Classic, this Turbo Teq head actually PICKS up dirt, dust, fine particles, and even particles bigger than a grain of rice on tile and hardwood. The complete opposite of the standard head issued with the C1 Classic. The “classic combo head” just pushed debris around in front of the head, or they sat in the head until you turned it off falling everywhere and worse it refused to pick up anything bigger than a grain of rice. Forget using it on very low pile area rugs or even the hardwood it was intended for, I nearly pitched the entire C1 Classic Vacuum into the bin, but this Turbo Teq works on hardwood and saved it from being trashed, thank goodness.The Turbo Teq does not suction itself flat against the hardwood flooring but slightly “hovers” (for the lack of a better word), above the hardwood floor allowing debris to enter the head working wonders cleaning all hardwood flooring and or tiled surfaces without need to constantly adjust the air flow either on the hose handle or the head itself. It does not scratch my hardwood or tile, and I can give the Turbo Tec an A+ for hard surface cleaning.With that said, for use on very low pile area rugs no more than a 1/4 inch at that, I can’t give the same great review. Even adjusting air flow down on the the handle or the air flow adjuster on the Turbo Teq head itself it isn’t great on area rugs-thin area rugs at that. However, It works much better than the original head I mentioned earlier, I can at least get it to roll over the area rugs, but I can feel the brush skipping or even not rolling because the thin carpet is inhibiting the brush from rolling correctly over carpet, especially when I pull backwards, I feel resistance and I know the brush has stopped rolling. So, it has to be done slowly-far too slowly to get it to work as intended. If I have it on the lowest setting for air air flow it performs better, but it doesn’t pick up correctly in my opinion. On the lower setting you have to go over the same spot several times to ensure the rug is clean of even the smallest debris. We do not have cats or dogs, however, we do have parrots, their tiny under feathers stick to the carpet unless I pass the head over the area carpet many times, this is also true for other items too, a hole-punch sized piece of paper for instance, or even a piece of bird seed or pellet tossed across the room by a spoiled parrot throwing a temper tantrum, because that’s what parrots do, while screaming “bye, bye” at the vacuum, which has had the audacity to enter his or her space, unfortunately this happens to be any part of the house.As for the quality of this head, I’m not sure if it will last, I hope it does, but it looks and feels cheap in my opinion, and seems as if it won’t last the test of time, it’s lightweight, but not in a good way and no where close to the same quality materials as the Miele powerhead which accompanied my Aquarius. I thought about it and wondered if I’m expecting too much for this Turbo Teq $120 dollar vacuum head? Nah, I’m not. At $120 dollars this should work in an amazing manner on all things it claims it can do, but it does not. Maybe I’m spoiled given my first Miele was an Aquarius with a powerhead? I don’t know, but after spending $425 dollars on a vacuum and this additional Turbo Tec head combined, one should expect great results. I wish I had just gone with the updated version of the Aquarius or a different Miele with a powerhead given the poor performance the Classic even combined with this “upgraded Turbo Teq” vacuum head.
