Miele STB 205-3 Turbo Plus Power Nozzle Attachment Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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.
