I bought this brush 2 years ago to replace the original floor brush for the Miele cylinder vacuum. The brush ensures adequate vacuum distribution and effortlessly removes dust, hair and small objects from wooden floors and short-pile carpets. A few notes on using this brush: 1) The wheels have a tendency to fall out of the brush. I don't know why this happens, but they easily return to their place. You have to be careful not to lose the wheels when they come out. 2) The bristles at the front of the brush are subject to significant wear and after 2 years I want to replace this brush. However, this was a problem as -3) the brush fits snugly onto the end of the wand, so tight that I couldn't remove this brush to replace it or use other attachments. I tried machine oil, WD40 and graphite grease but they didn't loosen the brush. I'd appreciate a rating comment or update if anyone has a solution to this problem as I'd like to avoid replacing both the brush and wand.
