One of the most important accessories for your Miele Canister Vacuum Cleaner is the HEPA Filter. HEPA is an acronym for “high efficiency particulate air”. HEPA is a type of filter that can trap a large amount of very small particles that other vacuum cleaners would simply recirculate back into the air of your home. Your Miele Vacuum comes equipped with a HEPA filter that along with the excellent sealing of the vacuum cleaner ensures that no small particulates are let back into the air.

The Miele HEPA filter we show here is a Genuine Miele product, which you should always insist on when replacing parts on your canister vacuum cleaner. It features an active charcoal liner to eliminate odors and fts Miele 300-600 Series Canister vacuums.

Why buy a Miele HEPA filter?
HEPA filters trap small particles that may cause problems for allergy sufferers and others with health problems. Reducing or eliminating those particles will make cleaner air for the residents of your home. Decide if a true HEPA is necessary for your family, or if capturing a smaller amount of particles is worth the price break on filter costs. In our opinion you should never sacrifice the health of your family and guests just to save a little money. You should only have to change the HEPA filter once a year to year and a half, and that is a small investment for better health.

How do I change my HEPA filter?

The video shows some other maintenance tips too like changing the vacuum cleaner bag. He changes the HEPA filter about 80 seconds in.

Replacing your HEPA filter is easy and should be done every year to year and half. Doing so will improve the health of your family and guests and extend the life of your vacuum cleaner. Remember to insist on genuine Miele parts!

Sometimes you don’t need the full power and size of a standard Miele Turbo Brush – that’s when the Miele Mini Turbo Brush comes in handy. This hand-held revolving brush head is perfect for stairs, furniture and upholstered surfaces where more aggressive cleaning is needed.

What’s cool about the Mini Turbo Brush is that it uses the vacuum suction to drive a rotational brush head – and even without a motor driving the brush it generates an amazing amount of force. Small and easy to manuever, this vacuum accessory is perfect for staircases, although you will still need a little help with that section of carpet right at the edge of the tread. If you do use this on furniture just make sure the fabric isn’t too soft, as this brush will cause wear and tear I am sure.

Do you want to see a Miele Mini Turbo Brush in action? Check out this video:

I love that green power light! This video does a good job showing the inner workings of the Miele Mini Turbo Brush as well as showing how the brush is driven by nothing more than the suction of the vacuum cleaner itself – clearly there is no motor in that vacuum head.

The Miele Mini Turbo Brush would make a great accessory for any Miele Canister Vacuum Cleaner.

If you are looking for a vacuum attachment for your Miele Canister Vacuum that makes cleaning effortless then you need a Miele Turbobrush attachment. The vacuum attachment shown here is the Miele STB 205-3 Turbobrush attachment which was designed to make cleaning effortless, and it delivers. It features a rotating brush that’s activated by air drawn through the head, loosening dirt & collecting fluff and hair. Its buffer strip protects furniture from scuffing, too. It’s ideal for cut pile and gives your carpet an excellent finish.

A couple of things to keep in mind when you are looking for a Turbobrush – for one, they don’t all fit on all Miele Vacuum Cleaners! So, if you have a model 4200, 4500 and 4700 series Miele vacuum cleaner then this vacuum cleaner attachment will fit your vacuum and will work perfectly. If you have another model Miele Canister Vacuum then you should check out the Turbobrush page to find the correct one for your model vacuum cleaner.

The other thing you should keep in mind, is that you may not need one! You should use your vacuum cleaner for awhile to see how it works for you. Miele is not a cheap brand (they are worth every penny!) so the last thing you want to do is spend even more money on an attachment that you don’t need. So try out your canister vacuum for while and see whether or not you need this attachment.

Those of you with pets? You will probably want to just go ahead and buy this one right away as these work great to pull up all of your dog and cat hair. I’ve got 4 animals in our house, and for sure I need this attachment!

Finally, remember that some Miele vacuum cleaners already come with a Turbobrush head, so don’t buy one if you already have one!

The Miele STB 205-3 Turbobrush attachment will make a great gift for the vacuum user in your family.
