To think it’s bloody ridiculous to make a pet hoover where you can’t remove the brush to clean it?

Hmm

And it’s not a cheap one either. It’s the Miele cat and dog powerline one. Cost me over £300.

I’ve tried the smallest Allen key I have to try and take apart the casing of the turbo brush head but no joy. It’s a stupid fucking shape of screw head. Presumably only Miele have the right tool for it Hmm

Does anyone have any secrets to removing the brush before I throw it at the wall?

And I have already snipped off as much hair as I can with scissors but there is more caught in the bits attached to other bits.

I was picturing a dog trying to hoover when i read the title and was baffled.

This drive me nuts with my miele - otherwise great (even on the normal head) but why the hell would you design it that way!!

Exactly statistically! It’s a hoover specifically for pet hair. Do they not realise that hair will need to be removed from the brush?
