Which Miele Attachment suits my house the best?
When you are in the market for a Miele canister vacuum cleaner you have to decide which floor tool will effectively clean your house. Whether you have a house filled with only carpeting, bare floors or a mix between the two; Miele has a floor tool that is proper for your household. However all of these floor tools work differently and it is important that you purchase the proper floor tool with your machine so you can effectively clean your home. The following text will explain the difference between the different floor tools.
One attachment made by Miele is called a Powerhead. Using a motor, the powerhead turns a brushroll at a high velocity to pick up debris found in your rugs. The electric to run the motor is integrated into the hose and wands for many of the Miele machines today. Miele powerheads use a cogged belt that does not break if a sheet or blanket gets caught in the brushroll. Instead the machine will turn off and simply is resetting the powerhead will allow it to work again. This saves you the time and money because the belt and motor will not break on you and you will do not have to replace it.
Miele currently has two different types of powerheads in production today. One powerhead, called the SEB-217 powerhead, is made for low to medium fiber-sized carpeting/rugs with a house containing 1 to 2 dogs that do not shed much. This powerhead is the smaller of the two and can be used on hard surfaces, such as wood, thanks to its non-scratch wheels made of rubber. The bigger powerhead, known as the SEB-236 powerhead, is a large 6-pound powerhead that is great for a family with medium to high fiber-sized carpeting/rugs and 2 or more dogs that shed on a consistent basis. Please be aware the SEB-236 can still handle low fiber-sized carpeting without any problems. Like the SEB 217 powerhead, the SEB 236 glides on wood and other hard surfaces thanks to its rubber wheel construction.
Another piece Miele makes is called a Turbohead. A Turbohead is a unique piece that uses the air speed of the machine to rotate the brushroll at a high velocity. The velocity of the brushroll allows the Turbohead to pick up a large amount of dirt off of carpeting.
Since the Turbohead uses a turning brushroll like a powerhead, many people wonder what the difference is between a powerhead and Turbohead. A Turbohead does not weigh as much as a powerhead because there is no motor. But since there is no motor the Turbohead does not clean as well. The Turbohead is ideal for a home that has short fiber-sized carpeting and does not have any high traffic areas and pets.
What is a Miele Rug and Floor Tool? A Rug and Floor tools is a unique attachment that can be switched to go on either bare floors or rugs. You simply flip a switch and the attachment will automatically go from bare floors to rugs or vice-versa. The Rug and Floor Tool works off of straight suction and does not have any rotating brushroll, so it will not agitate the dirt and dust out of your rugs as well as a Turbohead or Powerhead.
Your home is ideal for a Rug and Floor tool, provided it has a mix of area rugs and bare floors. If you have mix you will enjoy the switch on the bottom of the head that allows you to change your head to be ideal from area rugs to bare floors or vice-versa.
Miele also makes a bare floor brush, known as the Parquet Floor Brush, which has only gentle bristles on the bottom protect your bare floors from harm. This Parquet Brush also has a knuckle that is capable of twisting all around to get under and around chair legs and furniture.
Is a Miele Bare Floor Brush right for my household? A Miele Parquet Floor Brush is great for somebody that has only bare floors. This includes tile, wood, linoleum, marble etc. The Miele Floor Brush cannot be used on carpeting or rugs, so if you do have carpeting or rugs you need to purchase a Turbohead, Rug and Floor Tool or Powerhead in order to effectively clean your household. The Miele Capricorn, Miele Venus, Miele Gemini, Miele Aquarius, Miele Antares, Miele Pisces, Miele Callisto and Miele Plus all come with a Miele Floor Brush. The Miele Sirius and Miele Luna only come with the Floor Brush.
Whether you have only hard floors, only rugs or a mix between the two, there is an attachment for you. Miele makes one of the finest vacuums as well as attachments and when you purchase a Miele you will have a machine that will last you for years and years.
