Excellent online service for replacement of an essential vacuum-cleaning atrachment.
I bought this to replace the one that originally came with my Blizzard CX1, and it is excellent at lifting fine hair, threads, etc. from all sorts of floor types. So what are the flaws? I've disassembled the original head several times to properly clean it. Firstly, the drive belt is enclosed in a non-removable casing around the brush bar, so can't be cleaned, checked or replaced as necessary. Secondly, over the years, the turbine axle has also worn through the plastic surround, reducing the driving force sent to the brush bar - a metal washer or even a captive ball bearing would solve that... However, this is still an effective cleaning tool attachment, one that can be used on other Miele vacuums, providing the hose end fits, because it just uses airflow to drive the brush. The online buying experience is good, and the product is very well protected in transit.
