New to this sub! 

Previous homeowners left behind their Miele compact C2 cat and dog. I think this was supposed to come with a turbo head (air driven spin brush) but I think they took that. 

I used it for the first time today - and it’s my first time using a flat floor head, and I don’t like it. Am I doing this wrong?

My house has wood floors, and I have a few Low pile rugs, and one shag rug. I know this is meant to have a solid motor and it does suction, but without a spinning brush, it feels like I’m always just pushing and pulling the head across the floor surface. While it does a good job at suctioning, I feel like I just stand there and keep running over the same areas for a very long time.  I don’t expect everything to get sectioned up in one go and will take a few passes, but I spent way longer than I did before using my old vacuums (spinning brush head driven by electricity/motor). 

Also, when I’m using it on the hard floor, it looks like the grit on the floor just gets pushed around until it finally gets sucked up.  I’m just pushing the head back back-and-forth, it sections to the floor pretty hard which also makes me feel like I exert so much more effort trying to move this thing.

The past vacuums I’ve used have always involved a spinning brush head, is driven by electricity/hooked up to the motor.  I always perceived that a spinning brush is better than a flat floorhead - is this incorrect?  

I know Miele is a top brand, and I want to love this thing.  I just feel like I exert so much more effort trying to use this thing.  Would love to hear from everyone else, doesn’t matter what vacuum you use but curious to know why you prefer the flat head if that’s what you’re using

Don’t love the Miele cyclone vacuum, hate the flat floorhead that doesn’t use a spin brush. Am I doing this wrong?
