Miele STB 101 Turbo Mini Handheld Turbobrush for Miele Canister Vacuums

The genuine Miele STB 101 Turbo Mini is a handheld turbobrush that lifts hair and lint from upholstery and carpet. Suction airflow spins its brush roll, so it needs no cord or electrical connection, and its 6-inch suction opening suits sofas, carpeted stairs, mattresses, pet beds and car seats. Miele calls it ideal for pet owners. It fits every Miele canister vacuum.

Fits these Miele vacuums

• Miele Guard L1 canisters, including the Guard L1 AllFloor and Guard L1 Electro
• Miele Guard M1 canisters, including the Guard M1 Cat & Dog
• Miele Classic C1, Complete C2 and Complete C3 canisters
• Miele Blizzard CX1 and Boost CX1 bagless canisters
• Earlier Miele canisters, such as the S-series

Not for Miele TriFlex or Duoflex cordless sticks. Miele lists the STB 101 as compatible with all its vacuums except cordless sticks. For the TriFlex, Miele makes the HX-EC 10 compact handheld brush instead.

Already have one? The Blizzard CX1 Cat & Dog and Classic C1 Cat & Dog come with an STB 101, so owners of those models would be buying a spare. The model name is on the rating plate on the underside of the canister.

What it does

• Air-driven brush roll. The vacuum's airflow powers it, with no separate connection.
• Wide opening. A 6-inch suction aperture covers cushions and stair treads quickly.
• Doesn't stick to fabric. An air valve stops it from sucking down onto upholstery.
• Made for pet hair. Miele says vacuuming and brushing at the same time releases dirt and hair from fabric.

• 1 Miele STB 101 Turbo Mini handheld turbobrush

How to use it

• Push the Turbo Mini firmly onto the end of your canister's handle.

• Move it in short strokes over upholstery, stair treads or the car seat.

Expert tip

"Check the brush roll for wrapped hair and thread every few uses, especially in a pet home. Hair wound around the roll slows it down, and a slow roll picks up less. Snip it free with scissors, taking care not to cut the bristles."

Frequently asked questions

Will the STB 101 fit my Miele TriFlex?

No. Miele lists the STB 101 for all its vacuums except cordless sticks. For the TriFlex, Miele makes the HX-EC 10 compact handheld brush.

Does it need a powered hose or electric wand?

No. The brush roll is driven by the vacuum's suction, so it works on any Miele canister, with or without an electric hose.

Can I use it on carpeted stairs?

Yes. Miele makes it for hair and lint on upholstery and carpet, and its 6-inch width suits stair treads.

Is it the same as the TurboTeQ floorhead?

No. The STB 305-3 TurboTeQ is a full-size turbobrush for floors that goes on the wand. The STB 101 is a small hand tool for furniture, stairs and cars.
