Wessel Werk TK 286 STB305-3 Vacuum Cleaner Turbo Nozzle Review

[@JH-it3vd]

If the world saw this video, vacuuming would be so much better for everyone without having to change vacuums or spending money on a dyson. Thank you for making this video!

[@davidhunternyc1]

Today, I got the Soniclean WhisperJet C2 Turbo brush (rebranded Wessel Werk TK 286 STB305-3) for my Miele S528. It fit the wand perfectly. Of course, it doesn't park on my Miele because I have an old machine but that's OK, the Miele STB-305-3 brush won't fit either. All of that aside, I can't believe how incredible the Soniclean Turbo brush works on my low pile area rug. For 15 years I've been using the Miele combo floor/carpet tool. I've never used a beater brush on my carpet. I can't believe how much more dirt I pick up now with the Soniclean. It's a simple, ingenious, efficient, and amazing tool. Thank you for all of your help! Now I want to get the Soniclean WhisperJet C2 Technik Floor Tool. I have a question? I used the Soniclean Turbo brush on my wood floors and it worked brilliantly too. Do you think, however, that the Turbo brush would ruin the finish on my hardwood floors over time? Thank you.

That's really amazing that a turbo tool can now work on soft and high like carpeting. Definitely an improvement over other turbos. The only con would be the quick dirt build up in most turbos. Gotta luv German quality! 👍

Just got mine today and I must say, I'm impressed. My Husky Central vacuum power head had it's brush replaced 3 times in the last four years, so I wanted to try an alternative. I saw this video and hoped that it was accurate and boy it sure was. I've tried it on my new basement carpet which is a bit on the shaggy side (not 70's shaggy...lol), and it worked very well in my opinion. I noticed that the brush has no height adjustment, but it does move up and down freely (like shock absorbers on a car). It didn't sound as loud as on this video, but I believe that may just be a sensitive microphone that was used. I'm so far quite happy after the 1st vacuuming, only time will tell about it's longevity compared to the Husky power head. If there are any issues I guarantee I will edit this post, but for now, I rate this a very nice 9 out of 10.

[@saniiti_1103]

How has it held up?

[@raymondplouffe9521]

Last week, I bought the TK 286 and used it with the Bissell Zing II and it did a decent job on the carpets at my home. I had another turbobrush before it which was crap.

[@kyle-qw5yx]

One of these heads on a mighty mite is probably the best value one could get

[@paulcastor3845]

Between a Numatic Henry with this Wessel Werk turbo and the Zero G, would you one versus the other?

[@joefuzz6385]

I bought that red one for my Kirby diamond edition. Even with the low power switch in... it didn’t work. I still have it because I knew something was up. Thanks for the video!

[@PerformanceReviews]

Oh yeah Kirby's not going to have enough suction to power that thing. You could put on the end of something like a Bissell Zing or Henry 160 and it would spin right up.

[@Beardman56]

Kirbys have terrible airflow but are good for deep down dirt with brushroll

[@corrodesthefilm]

Just ordered one for my Miele, can't wait to try it out.

[@corrodesthefilm]

Gotta say I'm really impressed. My only experience with turbo nozzles before this has been the cheap small ones that come with some uprights. This head doesn't have the power of a powered head of course but it's more than enough for my medium pile carpet. Oh and just for fun I tried it on a shag rug and it actually worked. Didn't spin super fast, but it did spin and clean.

[@vacuumtests9225]

That's amazing turbo brush! I need to look it from the Amazon or eBay. I have that exact same Numatic turbo brush in black color what you have in orange. It's very demanding for the vacuums. Only portable vacuums that can really be useful with it are the pre EU vacuums with over 2000 watt motors.

[@kjeldschouten-lebbing6260]

Got the same, but works quite well with the GM80 with pre 2000's GDM motor too ;-)

[@d.k.4443]

Thanks for this review. :)

[@YoumuHoover]

That's a very powerful turbo head. Its definitely a better turbo compared to the ones that generally don't work. Can't to see a review on that gray elekrapure canister.

[@raffeboy02]

In EU we can just get the tk280, any diffrence worth mention??

[@jaedenspider877]

You should try a turbocat brush on a standard vacuum instead of a central vacuum

[@sl1237]

Is this more of a floor tool or good for handheld on carpeted stairs? Have a Sebo can and ET-1 difficult to use on stairs. Would turbo nozzle / wessel pt160 be better?

[@LlyleHunter]

Yes it’s much easier to use on stairs and also convenient to use on the horizontal surfaces

[@Cleaning_Hero]

What do you mean by sealed vacuum vs "working" vacuum? Is the working vacuum substituting for air leaks?

[@Dustyscorner1111]

No, air will enter the vac from the floor tool, it’s accounting for that

[@davidhunternyc1]

Geeze, that Zero G is supercool but it's so bloody LOUD!!! I hope Zero G makes a Version 2 with sound deadening materials.

[@PerformanceReviews]

You should experience it in person it's not that loud.

[@davidhunternyc1]

@@PerformanceReviews Is it as quiet as a Miele?

[@Jet_Threat]

Hey @PerformanceReviews do you have a video on hard floor attachments? I have the Parquet Twister XL but am interested in seeing what the best heads are for hard floors on a Miele C3

[@sadiporter2966]

i'd love to see you do a review comparing the TK-286 and TK-284

[@PerformanceReviews]

I'll save you the time TK 286 is the superior nozzle. It has a slightly stiffer brush and an adjustment for the airflow on the turbine.

[@electroumit]

Thank you.

[@nicholaswilliams1197]

What is that old, darker colored canister? Also, the links are for the older model.

[@fiveainone]

Does the valve pressure release release any particles? Or does is the suction strong enough to pull everything inward? Particle counter time?

[@PerformanceReviews]

No when you open the valve it creates what's called the Venturian effect. The vacuum actually sucks stuff in from the outside as well.

[@fiveainone]

Thanks for that! I must’ve scoured every STB-305 videos on KZbin and couldn’t find anything on it. I did see TK 286’s open valve is straight through to the bottom opening, interesting it doesn’t matter. I’m guessing the relief valve on the Calima handles also doesn’t leak? The reason I thought it might leak is because you did particle counter tests on some uprights that had small exit holes at the back of the floor heads, and those definitely leak

[@tgreengbc]

I have this power head but it somehow broke in a year. We have a lot of pet hair and it ended wrapped around the inside parts that your not able to clean or reach without tearing it apart. Maybe I should buy a different power head.

[@TerenceGrier]

The Wessel Works rd285 vs tk286 ? Which For hardwood floors ? Which for For carpets ? With a Henry Vacuum

[@Beardman56]

The 285 is a straight suction nozzle for hard floors and the 286 is a turbo brush for carpets. Can't compare the two

[@datAero]

i always found dyson to be ahead of the game in terms of brushes, didnt they make a turbo brush that worked on any carpet with their 700W cannisters years ago? how would that compare to the wessel? used with an adapter solution on a sebo

[@Bunkysworkshop]

I guess my question is does the brush bristles even touch the carpet?

[@vacuumtests9225]

Yes they are. It has so called free floating brushroll what floats on the carpet. Orange Numatic turbo brush has spring loaded floating brushroll pushing the brushroll on to the carpet. That is much more demanding for the vacuums.

[@PerformanceReviews]

Yes it grooms the carpet very nicely. If you check out my last vacuum in a month video I show how hard the brush roller is to stop.

[@LuxAudio389]

I really liked this video.Talking about working Vacuum is great. I have an S40P. I need this for getting under the low profile European bed. Thanks

[@bcrawsh]

I love mine!

[@tom.k7616]

Would you suggest this or the turbocat for someone with low pile carpet and a central vaccum. Also is the turbocat not durable? Great video btw!

[@PerformanceReviews]

They're both very durable and as far as turbos are concerned. I would say this maneuvers a lot better than the turbo cat but the turbocat it's probably built a little tougher.

[@finnflo8985]

I've ordered one of these in the hopes it will work on my lower wattage vacs 500-700 watts should it work? It's sold as working with the new low wattage machines in mind

[@GGGGGGG.]

Do you think this will work with a shop vac? A 5.0 hp ridgid maybe?

[@PerformanceReviews]

No the fittings the wrong size. Also most shop vacs probably aren't powerful enough it's a possibility though with the right adapter. You wouldn't run a Shop-Vac inside anyways 😷

[@hayabusa685]

Just started watching your videos. Do you think that this will fit the eurka mighty mite?

[@PerformanceReviews]

Yes absolutely.

[@ryanhawkins1235]

The Link is for the old TK-284. Can't find the TK-286 on Amazon currently.

[@PerformanceReviews]

No you will need to go to a local vacuum shop to buy it

[@fromoutwest]

With a central vac, would you recommend using the TK284 over the TK286?

[@PerformanceReviews]

286

[@livefootagetube]

What is the best battery operated vacuum out there right now. Is it the cordless riccar? Thank you let me know what you think. I'm tired of plugging cords in and lugging them around corners

[@PerformanceReviews]

That's really going to depend on the phone situation. I think for a full size carpet machine lindhaus definitely makes a good one , proteam also makes a nice cordless upright. The Hoover hushtone cordless would be my third place. Now if we're talking about a bear floor area rug vacuum I would highly recommend the cordless Henry. The politics Riccar has practice in the past years would keep me from ever recommending their products again. They do have a motor issue I don't know if they've solved it with the r10cv .

[@astrosecret7260]

@@PerformanceReviews can you elaborate on the politics issue

[@raymondplouffe9521]

How does the turbo head modeled TK 286 compare with the TurboCat's?

[@PerformanceReviews]

I talk about the Turbo cat in the video

[@coydog7902]

Will it work with a shop vac?

[@LlyleHunter]

Yes

[@gbaarchitects9661]

Would this work on a Ridgid wet and dry vac?

[@PerformanceReviews]

Probably not that wouldn't be powerful enough.

[@stevenrooney6525]

I have the Miele turboteq. It came with my blizzard cat&dog but personally I prefer the the older style Miele turbo I have with my c3.

[@PerformanceReviews]

Why is that ?

[@stevenrooney6525]

Performance Reviews I feel the older turbo grooms the carpets I have better the new head I find skims over and on door matting I have the brushroll just stops. The new one gets much more dog hair and fibres wraped around it.

[@sorcerer101567]

@@stevenrooney6525 I've found the same with the Turboteq head getting hair all wrapped around it

[@HooverLux]

Now that is fantastic!!!!!!! Lovely demo and I love that turbo brush, are they out in the UK?

Rodger just published a video with one on a SEBO

[@aakozanoglu]

Would this fit a Miele C1?

See link in description

[@aakozanoglu]

@@PerformanceReviews Thank you. I see that TK286 would not fit a Miele without an adaptor.

[@Bekindtopeople]

I own a cleaning business and my vacuum doesn’t have a rotating brush head. When I vacuum I want to leave beautiful carpet lines. In your opinion Is it recommended for medium to high pile carpet?

[@PerformanceReviews]

It should work just fine on medium to low-pile carpet on super high pile carpet it may not work. It does work on soft carpet. So say the majority of the carpet you'll deal with yes it will work. What kind of vacuum are you using?

[@Bekindtopeople]

Performance Reviews Clarke/Nilfisk Saltix 10. Thank u so much for your response. I’ve been trying different vacuums to see which works. Purchased and returned 5 in 2 months....I know.

[@PerformanceReviews]

Yeah that really would have done nicely on the end of that vacuum . Also the right straight suction floor tool would also make the carpet and make hard floor cleaning easier.

[@Bekindtopeople]

Performance Reviews yes it come with with a combo floor tool. I have the wesselweck turbo tool. I didn’t get those pretty lines on my clients carpet. She complained, thinking I didn’t vacuum when I did. So I guess I need to get a vacuum for med-high pile carpet.

[@LuxAudio389]

SOLD! Will it work with my Simplicity S40P?

[@DeLuxeCarwashchannel]

Definetly alot better then dysons turbo head

[@AmericansAlwaysFree]

That's not what the totally not affiliated with Dyson channel vaccum facts said

[@Gregoriosplace]

Informative video. Great job. I will get one of those. I have a Lily Shop Vac that has great suction but the head sucks. Yes...there is a sexual pun in there. Thanks!
