Power Nozzle Canister

Nathaniel,

With the type of flooring in your home you will definitely appreciate the quality of the Lux attachments and the standard and optional floor brushes with the Classic canister. The Sidekick is perfect for your stairs and the Lux power nozzle is very good at cleaning carpeting without causing damage to the ends of the fibers. The thing to remember is while a stiffer brush roller generally deep cleans carpeting better, it causes damage to the ends of the fibers you can see with an electron microscope when compared with several years of vacuuming with a standard Lux brush roll. The idea here is to vacuum on a regular basis your traffic areas (daily) and this ceases to be an issue. I prefer the current series of Lux plastic canisters with the Johnson Electric brushless motor over the previous Lux double fan and VM3 styles.

As for the Lux power nozzle performance and deep cleaning the VG you are currently using will probably slightly outclean the Miele 236. Perhaps someone else could chime in here. In my 2013 Lux Guardian Platinum I use the Lux green high performance roller (48011) that picks up about 20% more dirt that the standard OEM assy and close to the Miele in performance. I used a Miele 236 and Lux Guardian side by side for years in Boston and had very clean carpets so you will too.

As for Miele, you are better off with the Callisto (sp?) and the larger nozzle it comes with. Better performance from the power nozzle, decent attachments and a decent floor brush. An excellent machine for your application w/o breaking the bank. The downside is obviously the cost of the bags which filter great and maintain their power longer than Lux bags and also filter and OEM replacement part costs. The 217 nozzle is a nice addition for small areas, oriental rugs and stairs. The issues with the 236 nozzle have been corrected and I do prefer it over the 228 this unit ships with.

Finally the Sebo D4 with the ET-1 nozzle is also ideal. High quality unit, 40 foot cord reel, swivel hose and a super power nozzle.

I would be all set with the Intuition.

You can e-mail me if you are interested in a new Miele or Lux.
