I have a Miele C3 Brilliant. The telescopic tube is clogged. I could pick the lock. But when I did, I accidentally caught an electrical cord in the tip of this wand. As a result, everything got stuck after that, and my vacuum cleaner was constantly clogged. To get this part fixed I would have had to drive over 15 miles, wait 2 weeks, go back to the store to pick up the wand and pay at least $150 for the repair. Sending it in for repair would be just as tedious and time-consuming. It was cheaper and faster for me to buy this part and get it in 2 days.
