I used a CTL-26 to vacuum my apartment for a while, but now I got a Miele S8 with the earlier mentioned Miele SBB-300. That head is awesome!! With the S8, hose length isn't that important anymore. Pretty easy to just carry the S8 around with one hand.

Yesterday the CT26, Turbo Suction Brush, and Universal Cleaning Set (497702) I was very interested in how the turbo brush would perform on carpets with the CT Midi. So I cleaned up the Midi, since it will be a home vac, and fired up the turbo brush.
Wow. It really works well. I could feel the suction/resistance against the carpet and hear the debris being lifted. The beater bars did a nice job with the tight nap of an oriental carpet. When you see the nap lift on a carpet that low you know it’s doing a good job. I think it does a better job than our “industrial” upright. Plus it’s lighter and maneuvers much easier. Then I put it on a long shag area rug under a coffee table. Naturally you couldn’t push the turbo head forward through the pile. However, since it is so light I just lifted it forward and pulled it back. I could hear all kinds of stuff coming from that rug. There were no clogs or tangles from the long strands.
The Turbo Brush far exceeded my expectations.
This morning I went to swap the anti-static hoses between the Midi and the CT 26. I wanted use the new hose for inside the house. I wanted to exchange the “L” coupler from the old Midi hose with the “straight” coupler that came on the new CT 26 hose. Did I get a surprise.
I discovered the anti-static hose that came with my CT-Midi is 33mm. I had no idea. I looked on the Festool web site and it says the Midi comes with a 27mm hose. Perhaps there was a change. No matter I need to order two new couplers.

The most recent hose that comes with the MINI/MIDI are a tapered 32mm-to-27mm hose. Is that what you have?

I just measured a 27mm hose ID with no fittings. It measured right at 27mm. You must have one of the newest MIDIs with the tapered hose. One end should be 27 and the other 32.

I have a 36mm non antistatic hose with a 27/36 end. It fits the sander/saw/router but will not fit the floor cleaning set.
The regular 27mm antistatic fits fine. The larger part of the 36/27 fitting will not enter the cleaning wand and prevents the 27mm part from locking in.
I could not use the cleaning kit until I got the 27mm hose.
