German engineering,
I have never seen a vacuum cleaner adapter like this. The STB101 uses the vacuum suction to drive a rotational brush head. I was surprised by how much brushing force it generates. You mainly use the adapter to vacuum stairway, it’s small and it’s easier to manuver. However, it still cannot get to the small 1/2 inch strip along the edges. You can use the adapter for furniture upholstry also, but I would recommend it only for occasional deep cleaner. I’m not sure how furniture fabric can stand up to the rotating brush in the long run.

|Good for smaller surfaces,
Although pricey, this relatively light-weight brush to me is a necessary accessory for my Miele Capricorn S5980 w/SEB236 Powerbrush. We have three cats and a 2-story home, i. e. lots of cat hair on the cat tree, the carpeted stairs, chairs, etc. Although my vacuum came with two different brushes (the large power brush and a parquet brush), none are suitable for these surfaces because they are too big, too heavy or not cut out for the job (in the case of the parquet brush).
The Mini Turbo Brush works great on these difficult surfaces. The built-in brush rotates not because of a dedicated motor as the large brush does, but only through the airflow when the vacuum is turned on. So at first I was a bit skeptical that enough dirt and debris would be picked up. However, it generates surprisingly strong suction and cleaning action and is now my go-to brush for all these smaller or angled surfaces where the large brush can’t be used. The brush head swivels to make it even easier to reach such surfaces.
The reason I am not giving it 5 stars is because I find the head a bit too bulky (especially the rounded part), making it a wee bit tedious to for example get to the vertical stair surfaces (our steps have a bit of an overhang so successful vacuuming means to be able to get the brush head in there. But all in all it does a much better job than the large brush or any ordinary hand-held so I am very happy with my purchase.
