Miele Vacuums The difference between Powerbrush SEB228 SEB236 & Turbo Nozzle STB-205 

The SEB236 is the best one. They do great on carpet performance, love how they sound. And the LED headlight is a big bonus.

It would be really helpful to show the model numbers corresponding to the names, either in the title, the video, or - best of all - in the heading above the comment section. It's not easy to keep track of all the distinctions, nor is it easy to navigate to the relevant parts of the video.

I was actually wondering what the differences were on these not too long ago. Thanks for the vid. I’ve always had a preference for the ebk360 but haven’t messed with that first one you showed. Those turbo brushes are cool just too damn noisy for me. I know they can’t really get rid of that though...

That's why I bought a SEBO E3....................a much better unit...............because I road tested all OF THEM ! The SEBO runs like a Porsche 911 RS...................Real smooth and Handles GREAT !

6:44 I would suggest the notches in the bristles are to allow enough airflow velocity to continue moving prisoners already locked in the system. For Cheerios a few snips to 45° out the notches does help. I've already added this mod to 14 teams equipment and they reported side shifting the floor piece back and forth if they hadn't felt the cereal already passing up through the handle. Just got a Miele C1 to test because it looked like a well thought out vacuum. Too bad they don't provide a powerhead 120v outlet on all models although it's not difficult to add. They already have enough powerheads, Sebo 350e and ET-1 plus a few Wessel Werks EBK360. I think I'll make a hose adapter to enable the use of Ghibli AS5 hoses. While the Miele C1 vacuum had a great price the addition cost of a hose, $240 everytime one needs replacing, and a powerhead at $460 was double what the cleaning company owners were used to. I talked them into trying the C1 so once they find out how quiet they remain while still providing more airflow... I hope the specs are accurate, they'll go for the powerhead package for the rest of their teams. Well done video, thanks.

Minus the LED headlight and foot-operated height adjustment, I'd have the SEBO ET-1 any day. Much more user serviceable. Broke the brush bar once hoovering a hard plastic cat toy once, bought a replacement off Amazon and I'm good to go again.

Here in Denmark, electrobrushes are almost unheard of. Same with upright vacuums. So your only option other than importing is a turbo head. My parents have a 1600w miele with a turbo head and on medium pile rugs, it's doing a surprisingly decent job, especially for pet hairs (they have a main coon which sheds all the time). It's waaaay better than just using the straight suction head.

Vacuum Wizard I'm looing to buy the 228 or the 236. Cost not being a factor which one would you say is the most reliable and works the best. Also easier to service. I don't care about the headlight. I just want it to work well and last. Thanks for great videos!

Wait a second. Miele makes an electric mini brush for their cordless vac, but they can't seem to make one for their canister machines? It's priced about right at $129. I would pay that, considering that their suction-based non-electric turbo brush is $75. That doesn't make any sense. Why would Miele do that?

Great video, I love Miele as a brand (have a new W1 washing machine and T1 dryer....tanks to say the least). Have you heard of the vacuum company Vorwerk (german brand)? I'd really like to hear your opinion about them.

Can the c3 models’ handles attach directly to the head for stair cleaning? Simplicity/Riccar canisters do and it’s fantastic! But I think I like Miele more.

Im not sure if it existed at the time this video was made but there is also the forth electric nozzle, its basically a deluxe turbo brush that needs an electrical connection,

Can a Miele cleaning head (Miele parquet twister) fit on a Sebo wand? would it click like on a Miele wand and would you be able to park the head on the Sebo canister? I've seen some videos where people use a Miele vacuum with a Sebo cleaning head and I figured you will definitely know this :)

Very useful, so clear and specific. What shoes are you wearing? I LOVE them. Not kidding.

Very informative video

What about the SEB 217-3? I like it for tile floors

What is the absolute best household vacuum that you recommend (residential or commercial) for 1200 sq ft med pile carpet, 1200 sq ft hardwood floors with area rugs, and 400 sq ft ceramic tile? Thanks in advance sir!

Nice video. I’m undecided if I should get the Miele Compact C1 Turbo Team with the old turbohead or the Classic C1 Turbo Team that comes with the new turbohead. Which turbohead do you suggest? Thanks in advance.

I saw that Miele has a new turbo head out called the turboteq (model stb 305-3). Have you seen this?

Useful info, thanks. Did Miele discontinue the SEB-217 (small powerhead with no height adjustment)? SEB-236 clean carpets nicely but replacing roller's apparently a royal pain - its belt drive's in brush path so multiple swipes are needed to get all the dirt up (not true for other Miele powerheads).

Will the SEB228 work with the bagless CX1 Blizzard

I use the SEB 236 on a medium pile carpet. I usually put the setting on 3 but Ive noticed the brushroll slows down to some degree. Is this normal? I also use a s7 tango which doesn't seem affected by the carpet. I feel like the s7 agitates the carpet better. The seb236 has very little use on it. What is your opinion on the best cleaning method? Thanks

Interesting, Thanks for the Video, What I need is a Vacuum head for slate floors. A slow spinning brush with long bristles and rubberised wheels would be ideal. Do you know of anything like that on the market?

Is there any way to retro fit an existing Miele cleaner with a new hose to accept an electric roller.

Where can i find a list with all the compatible vacuums from Miele that can work with SEB228 ?

Can the SEB236 be used in hard flooring? I noticed the LED lights turn off when the beater bar (excuse my ignorance) is turned off. Should I not use it on hard flooring with the light/beater on? Thanks!

Will an EBK 360 attach to a Miele electric wand from a s2181? I see them for a bit cheaper than the Miele branded ones.

Hi, I purchased the Miele Excellence (in Canada) and it came with the SEB218-3 electric brush head, which doesn’t have height adjustment. Can I upgrade the electric brush to the SEB228 or 236?

Is the foot release mechanism to remove the wand it’s Achilles heel? Many come in broken?🇨🇦

Which powerhead would you recommend for oriental rugs?

This video does not tell me if I can purchase a powerhead attacment for my Complete 3C Comfort Parquet Powerline model, purchased in 2017. Can you give me this info?

is there any way to convert the old fluorescent lamp to a new led?

Yes, don't bother buying this head if you don't have a power drill because it's impossible to clean.
