Thinking of going back to Dyson

I'm curious to know which model you are referring to because Miele told me directly that none of their models have the electric wand unless it also comes with an electric power head.

You can see it has powered wand because there is a power button on the handle. But it doesn't come with any powered head.

I studied Miele vacuums, and I know the differences between all the models.

The model in this post only comes with SBD 285-3 (Combination floor tool), whereas this one comes with the SBD 285-3 and the parquet twister tool (the best hard floors tool by Miele) that sells for $75 only.

The Miele Complete C3 Limited frequently comes for sale at $400, which is the same price as the one in this post.

the vacuum may have the connector for the hose with electrical connections but the hose and wand as a part is more expensive than buying a model with it already.

if you only have hardfloors and a low pile area rug then the C3 limited edition in that tayberry colour is a good deal.

There are 3 main heads

Please don't buy a Miele and use this, it almost defeats the purpose of having this machine and you may as well get an $80 Hoover or something. This head is terrible, imo. It's adjustable for hardwood and carpet, mediocre at both, and the most commonly found one on the cheapest Miele's. It doesn't push smoothly on carpet, unless you have low pile, and there's no agitator brush (no spinning brush inside) which would vibrate the carpet or more easily collect hairs and alike for a more thorough clean. You can get away with this if you have very little carpet or little hardwood, but generally you don't want to use it as a main head.

#2 is Parquet (hardwood)

This thing is soo smooth, you may as well be rubbing butter across your floors. It also swivels nicely whereas the other heads are more forward and back. If you have a lot of hardwood, grab one of these, it's also far less likely to scratch your floor like the adjustable one.

#3 Turbo or electric head (carpet + agitator brush)

Turbo is just air, but has a brush and it works great. If you want some extra power then you need the electric version and a Miele with that plug in the wand.
Unless you have minimal carpet in your house, you typically want one of these and you can get away using this on hardwood, although the ideal is the parquet.

Heads cost around +$80 or so that's why you may want to spend a bit extra on your Miele if it comes with the head(s) you want as it may be cheaper than buying separately.

I have #1 and have been using it for the past 4 years without any issues, vacs just fine on hardwood, but on carpet it's a bit difficult, i would have to turn down the power.

And is amazon the cheapest for these heads?

Edit: only RFD can get me excited in spec'ing out my home Vac. ....

Turbo or electric head can be tougher to find.
