Miele Turbo Mini Turbo Brush STB 101, Attachable Handheld Tool for Pet Hair, Compatible with All Miele Canister Vacuum Cleaners

I’ve been on the fence buying this attachment for my S7 Jazz purchased in 2012. I finally squeezed the trigger hoping it would be better than lint rolling embedded fur in our sofa from our dog. It works. It’s not 100% but it takes up the vast majority of fur from our cross woven fabric sofa. At the worst you might have to pick free 5-10 stubborn furs per cushion if you feel inclined to. Best part about using this head vs a lint roller you are sucking out dirt and particles from the fabric and cushions. Just an FYI. Don’t run the brush head hard on fabric just move it across your cushions and adjust the vacuum speed to medium pile or curtains so the brush doesn’t beat too hard.

I literally just received this today and immediately began vacuuming. I have two dogs that shed A LOT and I spend an absurd amount of time vacuuming. My low-end Miele (the least expensive of the canisters) and its attachments do great on everything except fabric - big pillows, couches, the dog beds, etc. I mean the attachments that came with the C1 do far better than any vacuum I’ve had before the Miele, but even so, vacuuming the above listed things was super time consuming and a lot of pet fur remained no matter what. This thing is AMAZING. I was hesitant after reading the reviews, but figured I could surely maintain a light enough touch to keep the brushes spinning and the better clean, I figured, would be worth it. Well, a few things. 1) The suction on my Miele is always set at maximum, and I change the bag when it’s full (sounds obvious, but the first time the bag in my C1 filled up and suction began to fail, I thought the vacuum was broken. Then I realized the bag was full to bursting, and obviously, when I changed it, the vacuum worked again). I bring this up because the brushes on this turbo brush are propelled by suction, so if your suction is inadequate due to a low suction setting or bag that’s full, your brushes might not be spinning as vigorously as they should be, and the turbo brush may be less effective. I’m wondering if this is the issue many reviewers are having. 2) Many negative reviews state that the brushes stop spinning when any pressure is applied. At no point, regardless of the pressure I applied, did the brushes stop spinning. I don’t know if Miele changed the product in response to complaints or if others having issues have full bags/suction set too low, but I had zero issues. I tried to press down enough to stop the brushes spinning and couldn’t. UPDATE: With more usage I noticed the problem of brushes stopping with pressure. It was because the brushes had accumulated threads and hair wrapped around them, and once cut away, the turbo brush functions normally without the brushes stopping in response to pressure. 3) This attachment did WELL in 20 minutes what would previously have required at least 90 minutes to do poorly. I vacuumed the dog beds, rugs, my bed (yes, I do that, because the dogs sleep with me and I can’t wash my sheets daily), and my couch in under 20 minutes when in the past it would have taken me an hour and a half. I LOVE this thing. If you have dogs, get this - it’s an amazing weapon in the war against fur/dander/dirt!

Great add on….works well on stair carpets and tight spaces. Not too hard on delicate carpets

This handheld brush attaches perfectly to my Miele Delphi vacuum. It slips in and stays in place until I remove it. There is nothing to assemble and doesn't require power. It's easy to clean out by popping open the cover. Unfortunately, it's not as efficient as I had hoped. I had hoped this Miele mini turbobrush would help with our pet hair problem. It cleans crumbs, threads, and other debris from the furniture but it doesn't seem to grab pet hair well, even with multiple passes. We've tried various degrees of pressure. It gets some, but we still have to pull out a lint roller. It works great on the carpeted stairs, making them much easier to clean than with the small upholstery nozzle we were using. It's a good attachment for tight places where the regular floor attachment won't reach. It's great on the stairs. It hasn't helped with our pet hair, but it is useful for other things.

Fantastic! Not sure why I didn’t buy this sooner. This picture doesn’t do it justice. I have a short haired, German Shepherd and her hair weaves stubbornly into the fabric of my cargo area. This removed 95% of it. It took me a few hours because I have five years of hair built up. Recommend buying it sooner than later. The only downside is it doesn’t reach corners or edges. I wish Miele had a similar attachment for that purpose. But for flat services, it works really well. Definitely happy with my purchase.

People seem to either love this or hate it. I am definitely a lover of the Miele STB101 Mini Turbo Brush. Here's 4 reasons why: four cats. The lazy indoor-only kind that sleep all day on soft things. I can tell my black cat's favorite soft surface du jour by the breadth and depth of the black fur he leaves behind. This mini turbo brush removes EVERY cat hair in just a few swipes in both directions. I have several cream-colored blankets he has adopted and I thought they could never be cleaned. Machine washing and drying never extracts the fur enough, and I can use an entire lint brush (the kind with sticky paper) before and after washing and still see fur. With the turbo brush, I can remove all visible hair easily, then can wash the blanket. Some people don't like the brush because it is air-generated and can seize up at times without its own machine drive mechanism. I do encounter this, but after many uses, I find this happens on some surfaces more than others. If I just use a light touch, adjust the suction, and/or move the brush in the opposite direction, no problems at all. The Turbobrush work best when there is air behind the item being vacuumed. For instance, if I lift up a bedspread to vacuum it - as opposed to keeping it flat on the bed - I never have problems with the mechanism seizing up. Just be very careful handling this attachment while in use. Don't get your hands, clothing, or hair too close to the brush. I thought this warning was pretty silly when I saw it in the instructions, but as I use the brush more and more, I can see that I do often bring the attachment close to my body as I navigate about with it. Definitely, make sure you engage or disengage it with the machine OFF. This brush picks cat hair (even embedded ones) off soft blankets and upholstery like no other vacuum attachment I have ever used. I am so glad I paid extra for this attachment for my Miele Neptune.

I added this purchase to my C3 Alize along with the full-size turbo-brush. This brush does wonders on my steps. I only recently switched from a Dyson upright to a cannister vac. With the Dyson I had to pull the hose, along with the big wand, all the way from the bottom or top of the steps. With the cannister I can just set it on the step in front of me and work up one step at a time. Much easier. The mini-turbo, with the suction at the highest setting, really generates some nice RPMs with the brushes and seems to deliver a deeper clean in my lower pile carpeted stairs than just the AirTeQ that tries to suck the dirt through the carpet fibers. I like that the nozzle area that actually faces the carpet is made of a flexible plastic and rotates so the nozzle does not always have to be held at an exact angle to maintain suction... there is some "wiggle room" that the nozzle design accomodates. The nozzle seems thick and durable, has an easy-to-open hatch to clean out the turbine fins and the roller has a groove that looks like it should be easy to use to razor-blade through hair to clean the roller. Probably the only design element I wish this mini-tubo had was some sort of quick-release on the roller for cleaning... so while this tool is extremely good, it is not perfection.

Works great, a bit slow to arrive, but just what I needed for my furniture to clean up my pups fur.

I bought this mini turbo brush primarily to clean my carpeted staircase. The usual upholstery tool can do this job but not nearly as effectively. This air-driven brush is a bit larger than you might think but still small enough to do the main areas of your car, stairs etc. Feels pretty solid and has a few major design improvements over the micro turbo brush, which I do not recommend. Firstly, the bristles actually extend slightly beyond the end, meaning it can clean low pile carpet rather than skimming it. Secondly, while the cleaning end can rotate slightly to ensure it works at a variety of angles, it does not move too much, meaning greater downwards force can be exerted. It has no litter picker strips on the bottom, just the bristles too, as it should. Adds a fair amount of noise as these things always do, but again nowhere near as bad as the micro version. It can be opened up easily for clearing blockages etc, which should be rare. Overall it works as it should and is a very handy addition if you have pets or long-haired people. Works well on your mattress, upholstery or carpeted areas. At twenty six pounds that I paid I think it is pretty good value too. Recommended.

Tengo 4 gatos y estaba indeciso entre este accesorio, el Mini Turbo Brush SPD 101 y el Miele Mini Turbo Brush STB 20. Resultó ser un poco más grande de lo que esperaba el SPD 101, más ancho que una mano, sin embargo es perfecto así. El STB 20 al parecer es de la mitad de ancho. Tengo 4 gatos y diario dejan algo de pelo en las sillas del comedor principalmente. Estaba limpiando mis sillones de la sala y las sillas del comedor con el accesorio incluido en mi aspiradora Miele, la tobera para tapicerías. Me costaba trabajo y tenía que darle varias pasadas, incluso los pelitos más necios tenía que jalarlos con los dedos y después hacer que se aspirara por la tobera al soltarlo. Ya una vez al usar la SPD 101, resultó que con solo unas pasadas se llevaba todos los pelitos, ¡quedé sorprendido! Cada silla la podía aspirar ahora en a lo mucho10 segundos, mientras que sin este me tardaba más de 1 minuto para dejarlas igual de perfectas. Eso sí, hay que agarrarle el modo, ya que los cepillos interiores giran con el aire de la misma aspiradora y cuando bajas el accesorio hacia al área a aspirar, hace su trabajo por unos breves segundos. Tienes que levantarla para que vuelva a girar y bajarla nuevamente. Comparándola con la más chica, la STB 20, puedo notar que esta otra es más útil en un automóvil, principalmente para los asientos, dado que tiene mucho más ángulo e incluso es posible tenerlo en ángulo de 90 grados. Mientras que la SPD 101 tiene muy poca variación, no la veo práctica para usarla junto con el tubo alargador, sino directamente con el asa de mano y aspirando siempre en un ángulo aproximado de 30 grados. Ahora bien que si deseas hacer un trabajo rápido y eficiente en general en tu auto, los 2 juntos son una maravilla, puedes usar el SPD 101 para los tapetes y el STB 20 solo para los asientos y costados, aunque sinceramente con el STB 20 bastaría para un automóvil. El SPD 101 en cambio es perfecto para el hogar para alguien con mascotas. Lo único que me molesta es quizás que no haya venido incluido con mi aspiradora, que es la Miele Complete C3 Cat&Dog. Revisando otros mercados fuera de México, si te lo incluyen, en México solo te incluyen el STB 305-3 para los pelos que también es diseño Turbo. Este último (el STB 305-3) es perfecto solo para las alfombras o tapetes, ¡los aspiras rapidísimo! Si compras cualquiera de los 2 modelos en México que son Cat&Dog, es esencial que también te compres este, el SPD 101.

Bought it to clear my dog fur from upholstery and works very well indeed. Amazing that the brush spins strongly from the suction and without need for motor. It can be noisy though. Could have given a 5 star if not for the lack of flexibility to vacuum round corners as it does not have a rotating joint to it

Mit diesem Aufsatz kann man super die Tierhaare vom Sofa saugen. Meine Hündin hat kurzes Fell. Diese Haare lassen sich nicht mit dem normalen Aufsatz entfernen. Ich sauge damit auch den Teppich. Ist zwar etwas unhandlich weil man es nicht so gut knicken kann aber der Teppich ist danach haarfrei.

Sensacional accesorio que se puede abrir para facilitar su limpieza. Lo he usado durante dos meses y va fenomenal. Deja las tapicerías y alfombras como nuevas en muy poco tiempo. Un artículo bien pensado y muy buen fabricado por Miele
