Product Description
The Miele STB 205-3 Turbobrush attachment was designed to make cleaning effortless, and it delivers. It features a rotating brush that's activated by air drawn through the head, loosening dirt & collecting fluff and hair. Its buffer strip protects furniture from scuffing, too. It's ideal for cut pile and gives your carpet an excellent finish.

The Miele vacuum cleaner is already a substantial investment, but I recommend the turbobrush for those models that don't come with one. It's an especially useful add-on for those with pets, because the regular-head does only a fair job of picking up our golden retriever's shedded hair. I could just manage it by tipping the regular brush, but this is not nearly as effective as the Turbo. The Turbo rotates extremely fast (sorry, but the company supplies no specs on how fast), and has longer, more effective brushes to scoop up pet hair and any other kind of debris. This model (205-3) fits Miele vaccums only, but Model STB 201 Vario's adapter enables Turbo to attach to non-Miele vaccums with suction tubes that are between 30 and 38 mm. One other note: There's no storage cover; in fact, this one was not even wrapped in plastic for protection during transit. However, there was no damage.
The rugs look noticeably cleaner with the Turbo, as the brushes also tend to fluff them for more effective vacuuming of debris. The difference is most noticeable on medium to heavy shag rugs. There's one adjustment, a "slide" that you push to one side when going over heavy pile. The Turbo head adds a little of its own noise, a steady, non-annoying WHIRRRR as it speeds around. It's light enough to lift onto furniture that needs cleaning. The instructions (which come in 14 languages) show how to remove hair, thread, etc. stubbornly caught on the brushes--either by cutting them away at the opening, or by removing the cover and either cutting or pulling manually. The instructions also include the line, "Do not use on people or animals," a certain ice-breaker at your next social function.
Overall, I'd recommend this as an immediate purchase for those with pets that shed (or get a model that comes with the Turbo). Otherwise, you may wish to wait and see whether the Miele on its own does a satisfactory job.

Sometimes it pays to spend more for quality. I have a Miele and had problems with the old battery operated powerbrush attachment (it was $250 and is no longer sold). Miele really stood behind the product and sent me this turbo brush as a replacement. It does a great job and is really helpful since I have a pet. It has two speed settings. You will not be disappointed.

This item is actually working wonders. I didn't think that a simply nozzle that rotates through suctions. This item prevented me from buying another vaccum, because I moved and the new apt has carpet.

Great lightweight vacuum
This vacuum is just what I was looking for, powerful, lightweight and small enough to fit in my closet. It is also quiet enough that it doesn't scare the baby.
