I just picked this up from the Good Guys ebay store. They have it for $119 (Miele store RRP is $145), with the CTECHIE coupon it's nearly $50 off Miele RRP.
I just vacuumed my house and this attachment makes its much easier to vacuum carpets. Well worth it.

Works well on thin carpets, there's a air flow setting on the top for plush carpets.
IMO, it's worth the $95.
I can't speak for the Miele version, but I can speak for the Dyson turbine head.
On the DC37c (technically) not a 'pet' optioned unit, unlike the DC39, I've found that the second hand turbine head that I've been using has been most effective at vacuuming, what I would consider, a mid plush carpet, with quite a good degree of success and performance over the standard non-turbine head.
That I know of, none of the Dyson turbine heads on the floor ball vacuums have motorised heads, and they seem to get good reviews.
But, I did think that the turbo head on the Electrolux ZCS6930 wasn't very effective at all, so..?
Not sure if you might have been referring to barrel vacs only, but the DC41 upright has a motor head.
I probably wouldn't recommend that or similar models on tile floors though. We have had a lot of trouble with ours.
Yeah, I did mean just the barrel vacuums. Sorry, I was trying to think of what Dyson call their non-upright models. Thanks for the correction. I did think Dyson did a motorised head, but that it wasn't on any of the barrel vacuums (I shouldn't have said 'ball')..
Will this fit Bosch?
out of curiosity, does anyone actually "clean" their vacuum tools?? i've got hardwood in my whole house, and after i finish vacuuming, i try and pull as much of the crap off the head as I can
Have you ever thought about this: When you clean the vacuum cleaner you become the vacuum-cleaner?
Mind fcuked… :D
Actually you become the vacuum-cleaner cleaner.
And if someone cleans you, then they are the vacuum-cleaner cleaner cleaner.
If they are cleaner than you, then they are the cleaner vacuum-cleaner cleaner cleaner.
Ok I'll stop now.
Told ya mind fcuked! :P
I have this and it's fantastic. A life saver if you have pets. It's much better than the default head and I'd even call it a "must buy".
I think I haggled for the price of mine when I bought my vacuum and got it for like $80 so considering this is a stand alone it's a relatively good price.
It vastly improves the performance of your vacuum and is pretty easy to clean. You can unscrew 2 screws on the bottom to open up the head then using some scissors and the vacuum I suck out/pull out all the long strands of hair/string that get stuck on the brushes. Do this once a month (takes 10 mins) and it'll work like new.
A bit off topic, but for carpets the best vacuum choice I made (after going through too many expensive new vacuums which only lasted a year or two each) was to buy a 30 year old Kirby for $100 second hand.
Impressive delivery speed. Ordered 2pm yesterday, arrived today.
Is it worth $95? Seems expensive for a head with no motor.
Is it good for thin carpet as well as plush carpet?
