    I love this thing! It is small, light and extremely maneuverable. I chose this head over the larger models because 1) it goes under areas that are too low for the electro plus and the electro premium, and 2) it is not as heavy.

    It attaches perfectly to my SET220 adjustable electric wand on my Complete C3 system.

    Note that if you have different types of carpeting in your home, requiring you to adjust the vacuuming height, then this model may not be right for you, since it does not have height adjustment.

    After 14 years, it was simply a case of not noticing that over the years, the original power head had worn out. One day I realized it and was thrilled to acquire the exact correct part. It's like I have a brand new Miele again. I was thinking I'd need to buy an entire new machine but - no! This was all I needed to be up to date again.

    I purchase my Miele vac 2 years ago and it came with a special carpet attachment and parquet hard floor attachment. It was kind of a pain having to change the head all the time just going from bare floor to carpet. So I gave this head attachment a shot, and I’m happy I did! I can transition from hard floors to carpet and it picks up everything great! On a side note, I ordered this the first time and received a damaged brush roll, we sent it back and ordered a new one (free returns/exchanges thanks amazon!) The new one is perfect. This head should fit on any Miele vac that has the electric direct connect prongs. I had trouble in the previous reviews deciding if this would fit my vac, but with free returns it was worth taking the risk. Glad it works and I’m so happy! Love Miele products

    What can I say this is a great power head for area rugs and short pile carpet. I have used in on both my c3 canister and the miele quickstep. Very good agitation this isn't a surface cleaner, it will shake up sand and dust from the rug or carpet. The bristles on the head are sort of soft, so pretty safe for the delicate rugs. I would also not use full suction when using this power head due to the fact that is doesn't have height adjustments and tends to lock onto the surface. Also very easy to clean out just take a coin and unscrew the bottom plate, from there you can remove the brush roller and clean out the power head. I do like the safety shut off if something gets caught in the brush. I would just make a note that if you have varying carpet lengths I would not recommend this power head. I would recommend the seb 228 or my personal favorite the seb 236. Those have height adjustments and stiffer bristles. Over all this is a good brush for what it is intended for low pile carpet and area rugs.

    This powerhead replaced my 25 year old SEB 217 (no suffix, original design). While it costs as much as a new vacuum from the well known brands, 25 years tells the story of quality. Original needed a motor and brush, the cost exceeded the price of a new complete unit. Mated perfectly to the power wand, thank Miele for keeping that design unchanged. Original vacuum canister is all original as well, just a new plug end after all those years.

    You get what you pay for rings true with Miele. Not flashy disposable units, well worth the cost. For comparison, a Bissell carpet cleaner only ten years old, has had multiple motors, pumps, heaters and valves replaced.

    I would leave no stars if I could. This used to be a quality product but something has changed. I purchased more than one and they both started making bad noises. The first I returned right away. The second one kept lighting up red and shutting off. This has been a vacuum that I have loved for just about 30 years so I know how long they typically last. What's going on Miele? Don't waste your money until they acknowledge this problem.

    The head is ok... Not the big one I used to have . Will make sure I get the bigger head when I buy a new vacuum.

    The one that originally came with my vacuum (the Titan) got banged around too much, so I had to replace it. The powered brush makes all the difference in the world, and really cleans up. I have a long-haired dog, so I do need to turn it over periodically and use scissors to get out the hair that gets wound around the brush. If it works with your vacuum (it doesn't with all of them), you owe it to yourself to get it. It really lets the Miele do all that it's capable of.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Pet hair attachment
    Reviewed in Canada on December 29, 2023
    Absolutely love Miele products. This pet hair attachment is far superior to most air-powered brushes on the market. Cleaning of the brush is simple and it is easy to disassemble.
    The only downside is that hair can coil up around the motor shaft, which can lead to the brush seizing and motor. Cleaning of this scenario is a bit more difficult.
