Your Input Has anyone had a negative experience with the latest incarnation of Miele canister vacuums and direct connect technology to power the carpet nozzle? I'll be in the city tomorrow and can pick one up. | ||

I have never had an issue with the direct-connect wand itself on my 2004 Miele Red Velvet's SET210 wand. But what I have had an issue with is the direct-connect powerhead neck, & the wiring inside it, on my SEB236 powerhead. It broke down TWO TIMES within a short timespan & I finally had to jury-rig it to make it work permanently.
Another member on here, Chad Schieberl, has told me on Facebook during our chats that the wires come loose from the bayonets that go into the receptacle on the lower end of the wand, which is what causes the problem. To correct it, he has had to solder the bayonets onto the wire. If you obtain a new wand & powerhead, I would insist the new dealer solder the wires in the direct-connect powerhead neck as part of the sale, & that he not charge you an additional labor charge for it. And if he refuses to do it, walk away from the sale until you find a dealer that WILL do it. Rob | ||
