I have a Miele vacuum - the hose-ends are slightly larger than normal, has anyone fit it onto a Miele vacuum??

Hi K. M. Krieger. All numbers are approximate. The plastic fitting on the end of my clipper hose, as pictured directly below the Wahl logo, has two tapered sections to either side of an abrupt increase in diameter. Using my digital calipers and at least three samples per measurement, my fitting dimensions are very close to the following: The outside diameter of the smaller taper increases from 1.372 inches to 1.544 inches, over a taper length of 0.977 inches. The outside diameter of the larger taper increases from 2.311 inches to 2.335 inches, over a taper length of 1.000 inch. Sure enough my total fitting length measures 1.977 inches on my calipers. My Ridgid vacuum gulper hose is too big for the smaller taper and too small for the larger taper. It works fine because the suction of my vacuum keeps the flat landing between tapers secure to the hose end until either I pull it apart or turn off my vacuum. With my particular Ridgid drywall vacuum, 5 hp "portable vac" standard from HomeDepot, this product works well enough that I must oil my clippers prior to connecting hoses or else practically none of my clipper oil will make it into the shear. Hope this helps.

I'm an average user, so not sure what size Panasonic uses for their hose fittings... but I'd dare say they are probably standardized... I would suggest you call your local Vacuum shop and ask them... They worked fine for my situation... best wishes Jeff

I can not tell you if it will or not. Look at the end of the hose that goes into the vacuum and make sure that it will fit...my vacuum has an indent that needed a little extra piece on the hose for it to fit. Also, the end of this hose had little prongs that stick out from the metal band and that would not allow it to go into the vacuum. It is hard to explain in words. My vacuum model is Model L and this hose did not fit.

The attachment was also too large. I had to improvise by buying a rubber bell reducer in one of the big box stores. The reducer with hose clamps can be found in any plumbing store. Take the attachment with you along with the hose to your vacuum

I am not familiar with your vac. If it is a standard "shop" canister style vacuum, it probably has a standard 2.5 inch hose. You can measure this. If it is a 2.5 inch hose, you can buy a conversion adapter that attaches to the 2.5 inch hose and then steps down to a 1.25 inch connection for these micro tools. The conversion unit I bough for this purpose is this one: "Shop-vac 906-85 2-1/2" to 1-1/4" Conversion Unit" (linked here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00004RHKZ/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_hst_8).

Interesting question! Have no idea since we bought a different model. Why not call Miele USA Customer Service and ask them!

I would guess that if our attachments ever became loose, I would first see if I could address why....put a rubber band or something around the neck of the loose piece or maybe even duct tape. We haven't tried other brand attachments, but most on our regular vacuums are interchangeable. Sorry I cannot help you more!

If your hose is 1 & 1/4 inch smooth wand/hose (standard vacuum hose) then it will fit. I use mine on a Eureka hose/wand which has a button...it fits fine.

It fits on Dyson hoses. I'm not sure if different dysons have different hose sizes, but mine fits directly on my hose and also came with a little adapter piece. It does not fit on non-dysons that I've tried.

Based on the authorized dealer who repaired our Miele, he said that the Miele does not work on thick carpets. It gets clogged and does not suck. We had to go to floor setting. I do not recommend on thicker carpets. It does not suck!!!!

That is the part number for the turbo brush floor attachment, you need to look at the bottom of the vacuum itself, but this fits in all Miele canister vacuums.

Hi Esther,The attachment I ordered did fit and work well with the vacuum I ordered. I'm not sure of the model number as I am not at home right now to check.

No, it does not fit so when you turn the vacuum on, it pops out. I cannot use it. A waste of money.

I don't know. This fits on the outside, attached to my hose. Which constantly falls off! Why not ask Miele directly?

It didn't fit on my Vac-then-Steam Shark. Was disappointed with the purchase as it didn't fit my machine. Probably should contact the company and ask them before buying. Hope this was somewhat helpful. Good luck.

I used some attachments from a non-eureka vacuum, and they fit fine. I think the hose is a universal size.

Yes...the Micro Vacuum Attachments come with an adapter to transition from your vacuum to the micro adapters. In the picture/it's the large tapered plastic piece all the way to the right. It fits over your existing hose and then the other smaller adapter (pictured all the way to the left) slides onto that. That's what the micro hose attaches to.
