upgrading Miele canister

It might be possible depending on the model. I believe all of the C3 models have this ability. Take a look at the hose opening on the canister and see if it has a receptacle for the prongs on the hose to connect to. If so, than you are probably in luck although Miele parts are not cheap so it will be somewhat expensive to get the electric hose and wand along with a Miele power nozzle.
Here is an alternative and this is guaranteed to work. Get a 35 to 32 mm adapter to put on the end of the wand and purchase the Perfect battery powered nozzle. This should work just as well and may actually be cheaper.

Which model is your Miele??

They make very few non-electric models. However, some of them are designated for straight suction use. They’re sold with a non-electric hose and have the electrical contacts on the vacuum covered with a removable plastic shield next to where the hose connects. I attached a photo here to show where the electric contacts are covered on a straight suction C3. Look at the black piece underneath the hose inlet opening. That’s the shield that covers the electric contacts. It’s removable.

C2 Compact has the electrical input on the handle

Here's a pic from youtube. I know it's a small pic, but I think the plug goes in on the left side of the handle.

My C3 Alize was a suction-only unit, but has a removeable/re-usable cover over the electrical connectors for the power hose. There is even a slit within the accessories compartment designed to hold the little cover, which is pretty cool. I upgraded to a power nozzle, which required a new hose and wand as well. I now actively use both electric and non-electric accessories, but no longer the suction head... I instead use the parquet floor head for my wood floors and power head for carpets. The non-electric hose/wand is so much lighter and nimble it is MUCH easier to use for above ground cleaning. My full combo was pricey but it really is optimal for all kinds of cleaning. Also, I use the air powered rollers to clean may carpeted stairs.
... And then I bought a Miele U1 because it was a pain carting all the C3 parts from floor to floor... and then I bought Sebo Felix for my 3rd floor because both Mieles were too much to carry between floors. Nonetheless, I love all 3, but my C3 is a must when I do a deep clean on my house in the Fall and Spring.

This is the hard way, but well worth it.

Miele will soon be offering a new version of their Accu Nova rechargeable cordless power nozzle which can be attached to any regular Miele wand. I'm sure it won't be cheap, but it will probably be less costly than buying electrified wands and hose to upgrade a suction only unit.

Still, for most area rugs, air-driven turbo nozzles are quite effective.

Vacuum Devil said so in reply 13 in your other thread about getting a Miele to pick up dog hair.

@Ilovehoovers

What was said is the company who produces Miele 's nozzles and tools will be making a battery operated EBK360.
Which can be low-key seen in this video.

Alex, question for you here. Is that just a standard Ebk360 with quick release and the only differences is the wand with internal battery? Or is a different lower voltage motor used?

It looks good. Hopefully this time they have resolved the issues the Accu Nova battery powered pn had.
