I have the new Miele S 8340 EcoLine vacuum cleaner / 1,200 watts Efficiency Engine / AirClean filter / 3-piece integrated accessories / Universal switchable floor nozzle SBD 650-3 AirTeQ gained me, which also has this floor nozzle. The vacuum cleaner is fine and drawn very well in spite of its only 1300 Watts. But he also has this new floor nozzle Miele that drives me almost to madness. When sucking rattles, creaks, squeaks and schrappt the nozzle so on the ground that it horrifies me literally. I have a feeling, me to scratch the entire floor. Of course, this does not happen, but I've never had such a stiff nozzle of Miele! When you hold the Saugstange very flat to suck for example, under a bed, the rollers do not roll back, but seem being caught repeatedly, so as to suck with the handbrake on. The nozzle hobbles literally across the floor. You can work around that by very, very slowly sucks. Since I like to work fast, this bothers me massively and I wonder what Miele was thinking. In addition, the nozzle is much too high. In my household there is no closet and no sofa below that fits this nozzle. For me this is a floor nozzle absolute no-go, and I will probably return the complete sucker, even if it is of very good workmanship. I wonder how a vacuum cleaner with the nozzle can be winner.
