(More customer reviews)We have a Miele S 5281 Callisto with the 228 powerhead on it. The powerhead on this unit is 13 inches wide, which is a real pain to use on stairs that are carpeted. The 228 powerhead is height adjustable, which is great for different types of carpets, it is just too wide to be easy to use on stairs with a 10 inch tread. Thus, we thought we would order the SEB-217-3 as it is 10 inches wide (perfect for matching the stair tread) and we expected it to be of the same construction, just narrower.
When the unit arrived, we found that not only is the unit NOT adjustable, the brush that revolves to clean the carpet is nowhere near well made or as dense. This unit is more trouble than it is worth to try and use since the only way you can make any height adjustments is to change your angle that you are holding the wand at! Try that on stairs with two landings!!
We returned the unit and just decided to use the 228 powerhead for general cleaning and to use the car cleaning attachment (a seperate hose and vacuum powered head that is sold to clean cars with that we had purchased with a 6 inch wide head)when we needed to get in the areas that the larger power head misses.
Considering the cost of this attachment, I would have expected MUCH more from it. I would not recommend purchasing this if you have a 228 or better powerhead as it would be very disappointing by comparison.
