I'd been wanting this electrobrush for so long and circumstances warranted the splurge finally. Just arrived today and I put it to use immediately. It's like having a whole new vacuum now. Could not be happier.

There are other reviews questioning the durability of the electric connections of this powerhead... I have my fingers crossed, because it is working awesome for me. I love the light, love the manual height adjustment and love the low profile. It just fits under my bed. I'll be sure to update my review if things go south, but so far I'm very pleased with my purchase.

11/19/17 Update: Nearly a couple months in and this continues to be a great powerhead. I also have the [air powered] turbo head whose roller is much small diameter. The turbo head frequently wraps my wife's long blonde hair around the roller that I then must clean, but this power head after 2 months of use has no hair wrapped around the roller. A pleasant surprise.

3/29/18 Update: 6 months into ownership my carpet height adjuster stopped adjusting. I sent an email to Miele and the next morning got guidance to find a local service center through the web locator they provided. It turns out one was within 2 miles. The shop said they had never seen such an issue. Within 24 hours they called with the repaired unit under warranty. They said nothing was actually broken, rather something was out of alignment. This was a bit disappointing, hopefully it was a one-time issue. Other than this, I continue to really like this power brush.

3/27/18 Update: I just sent an email into Miele. My height adjuster just stopped working 7 months after buying the unit. We'll see how they respond.

This is a purchase to replace a 10 year old brush head that had seen a little abuse and wasn't functioning as it should. New one works great

This thing is both amazing and bad.

- It performs amazingly well on a miele C3. This thing takes embedded husky hair out of a rug unlike any vacuum I've used.
- It maneuvers very well as you'd expect from a miele floor head
- It also works very well on hard floors.

I personally like having the LED light,if you don't then you should get the cheaper model. Basically this thing is ridiculously overpriced but that's what all Miele products are, I've seen comparable floor heads included with much cheaper vacuums. The fact this floor head costs more than a pretty decent vacuum in its entirety is crazy to me. But since it is miele you do get exceptional performance and durability and this piece is no exception, paired with a C3 it does a better job on carpet by far than any other vacuum I've used (I think that has more to do with the vacuum itself not the floor head though)

Anyway, at the crazy high price this floor head is still lacking in many ways

- Some vacuums have a couple screws to remove the brush roll or some even are designed to be removed without tools. Hair and other fibers will get tangled in this brush roll like it does on every other vacuum ever and being able to remove the brush roll is much nicer than turning this heavy thing upside down and reaching in with a razer blade to cut it all out.
- Why do they make it so difficult to service for end users? Worth a separate point
- It doesn't seem to stay in the upright position particularly well

The brush head is great, but you're really paying a premium for a pretty average part with this one in my opinion - if you want a miele vacuum then that's just part of the experience though.

I own the original Miele QuickStwp s194. I love it and never upgraded anything on it. I also own the white Car and Dog Upright, have lots of attachments that I bought separately. Hands down this brand of the vacuum is the best and nothing compares. I moved from hardwood primarily to now mostly carpet, and only had access to my red stick vacuum. I ordered this and now I have a mini version of the upright. It cleans perfectly, and I am stunned and impressed at how well this thing still works after so many years. Also, the attachment will work with newer model quick steps if I ever replace it. I'd you need a vacuum for an apartment, I recommend the quick step + this turbo attachment so you have the best vacuum for both hard floors, handheld jobs, and vacuuming carpet with good suction and power.
