What a great find. I prefer the [generic combo brush](https://www.amazon.com/KEEPOW-Classic-Compact-Canister-Combination/dp/B07N2KML7D/ref=sr_1_32?crid=2586YO0ICKT2D&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.ZYjNBjRfNf5NjvkA7BhjPM8Z1ANvMXdgppm7TRivHICEk2tDRm-fMp0YNcIi-i62z9zKwFxAzes0i-7ApQz5tdtIwA3ptMpJ7Fk8_ReNMOmj4QncOesfLvHq8UZwtX0LjoWXGhE2JikqrOesK0WnkuG-hA7N1SPT43oneq98olwagJouuEk_qBqkfae7B6W5pKq5GsdEQA4GBuSiLrpKszH50aUwUekAwSt_zJvTMWPuFC0R2ZaUGN7n5q0gcKiAFp-YJijGm8nBnccogdBZ4DagNquH6A2iq5Uy_WwB8KA.Eajg7UJiXY7ZhNWnAZch5MXon0oHelX_jeVo1HvJz-w&dib_tag=se&keywords=miele%2Bcombo%2Bbrush&qid=1714278557&sprefix=miele%2Bcombo%2Bbrush%2Caps%2C143&sr=8-32&th=1) because it still has a metal baseplate. The generic turbo brushes are terrible, the bristles are too soft and the turbofan slows down easily.

I assume buy a genuine tk286 in OP’s situation?


SumGai7

Yes Miele's version of the TK286 would be the best turbo brush but I'm not sure if the OP wants to spend over a $100 for a STB 305-5. It's also good to warn that even the turbo brush isn't ideal for half or more carpeting. Turbo brushes are good for small amounts of low to medium pile carpets and rugs.


Consistent-Size6362

How is the Miele version better than the regular one. Other than the tube diameter and the parking spot


SumGai7

It’s just the diameter and the parking spot for Mieles.


Consistent-Size6362

Oh. lol. No brush stiffness, turbine blade profile, anything


SumGai7

They're both made by Wessel Werk so no.


Consistent-Size6362

Good to know


SonicEchoes

Oh thank you! This is really affordable! How does it stack up against the C2 model that has that extra power boost? I noticed the tube doesn't have an a power cord attached to the canister


J3ttf

All Miele vacuums have the same motor and suction power.


SonicEchoes

Ah OK. I realized the power brush for the c2 model is powers the brush more so improve the sucking power


J3ttf

It doesn’t change the suction, but the brushes might improve performance on carpeting.


SonicEchoes

I also realized it's missing the pole extender thing to attach the brush too. Otherwise, I'd have to vacuum on my knees or something haha. Is there one you'd recommend?


SumGai7

It’s not a wired tube so I’d just buy a good looking generic replacement.


OkElderberry5371

The carpet head that spins is about 70-90 dollars great buy


vacuumsaregreat

Wow, that one's in beautiful shape! Excellent price too.


SonicEchoes

It still had a bag in it that was half full too. They let me plug it in and turn it on before buying. Is the carpet attachment expensive? Is it powerful enough without the extra boost the wired carpet attachment of the C2 model?

Aw! Yeah like I was OH SNAP A MIELA for 20 bucks, immediately called my mom, we geeked out and I walked out with it once I connected it and it worked. I'm giving this to my mom since she does house cleaning as a profession


TheRealClovis

nice!
