For those having a limited amount of low or medium nap carpets, the Miele Turbobrush may be adequate for your needs. It incorporates a turbine to obtain its power to drive the 10 1/2" revolving brush roll from the air flow passing through the system. By doing so, it is drawing power from the main suction motor, actually reducing the air flow through the system. A cog type belt is used to provide positive power transfer from the turbine to the brush roll. Since this nozzle does not require electric to operate, it can be used on the standard non-electric hose. The wand connector, with a two-way swivel, mates with the stainless steel wands which come with most Miele canisters. The STB 205 Turbobrush is the same except for only one tab on the elbow instead of two to mate with the parking slots on the vacuums. Used with Miele's Standard Hose and Telescopic Wand.
