I have the Canadian version of the Alize, the FreshAir in white. It's a bit less fancy (no shock-absorbing wheels, no auto setting), but everything else is the same - including Miele's longest telescoping wand and one-touch cord rewind. I love the AirTeq carpet tool - much prefer its two large wheels over Miele's standard roller bar. And indeed! I attach my large Universal Dusting Brush and Mini Turbo nozzle directly onto the lightweight hose (it's easy to remove the SpotLight handle), which really makes them easy to use in tighter spaces like dresser drawers and car interiors.
It's a great companion to my Hoover Bagged Platinum upright. |

BTW, Miele USA website has select C1 and C2 cannisters on sale for 20% off on there website currently. I had heard rumors they intended to minimize their lower end offering, at least in the US. Maybe they are clearing stuff out. |

a NON-ELECTRIC hose to either the Marin or Brilliant C3 models? I was considering those models and really like your setup. Mainly, I'd like to be able to have a lighter wand when using the attachments or floor tool. |

Here is my setup! I found my Marin open-box for $350 a few months ago. We only have one rug we use the power nozzle on, but the Parquet floor brush and AirTeq tool get used all the time! I'd like to eventually add a straight suction hose to mine as well. While I like the electric hose, it just feels too heavy when I'm not using the power nozzle. Luckily I held onto my straight suction wand from my old Solaris though, so that helps with the weight distribution a little when using the straight suction tools.
PS- Love the color of your Alize! I think I read that the new Alizes cannot be fitted with the electric hose, not sure if that's true though. Chase |

Albeit just a Miele C3 Hepa Powerline with some tools from my Cat & Dog version. The handle is an additional extra. Only a turbobrush and non-electric hose and wand. The dual nozzle is an eco-teq which should be the same as an air-teq, I think. I should add that I love that light brownish(?) color.

I'm pretty sure you can attach a floor brush to the upright's wand....here is a video demonstrating just that set-up:
