Improvement over original
This wand performs as expected. The electric cord seems to be better protected than with the wand that was originally supplied with my Meile Aquarius. The fittings are slightly tighter. I have to shove it firmly into the power brush.
I would like to go on and say that I would not purchase another Meile vacuum cleaner. For around $1,000 (I got the bigger power brush), I don't expect components like the wand to fail. And I have a loose electrical connection at the base of the hose. The motor may be durable, but I could go on and on about how the whole solution is half-baked in my humble opinion.
Replacement Miele Wand
Needed a replacement wand for our Miele vacuum. The online price was the same as the local price; however, the item arrived quicker than if I had placed the order locally. This is a Miele part, so fit and finish is a non-issue. The old wand lost the power connection that could not be repaired because of the pressure fitting used to keep the plastic pieces in place.
Quality product
I love my Miele vacuum. It's very well made and year after year is a pleasure to use. After 2 years, the clip on the bottom of the wand wore down, came loose, and when it came out, the wiring slid out. It was somewhat difficult to reassemble. It would clip back into place, but just barely. Then before long, it would come apart again. I was pretty unhappy that I had paid so much for the vacuum and the wand appeared so fragile. I broke down and bought a new wand. Quite expensive. I've waited to review it to see how it would hold up. It has been nearly a year and it doesn't appear the lower clip is wearing at all. Don't know what caused the early failure of the first one, but thinking it may have just been a fluke. The new one is fine.
