I think you posted a similar thread before. How are they breaking, in your case?
I do not know how yours is clogging. If used properly, they should not. I can see hair getting caught in the sharp inside edges of this basic Wessell-Werk turbo brush.
The MD mini electric brush is a well built tool. It will clean well. MD does not make this attachment. What I do not like is that this nozzle will be harder to use in small spaces like car floorboard. You will find that this is quiet compared to some mini turbo brushes. Another advantage to this nozzle over a turbo nozzle is the debris does not go through the fan. This may be better for you.
The W-W mini turbo attachment, you have pictured, is their basic attachment. It is used on many different brands. SEBO is one brand, like another poster mentioned, that uses this model, as well as some other companies like Electrolux Riccar/Simplicityand Euro Pro. It cleans fine. To the best of my knowledge, Miele does not use this model, unless the UK is different.
W-W does make a more deluxe mini turbo brush that is even better than the basic. Miele, as well as some other companies, use this attachment. Riccar did use this at one time. It is very quiet.
There is a mini turbo brush that has been around for a long time. It goes by the name of Rug Rat. I have had mine since the very early 80's. It was also used by Kirby. It is powerful, but louder than most, when used w/ a very powerful machine. It has much better brushroll compared to many of the nozzles out there today. It has alot of stiffer bristles compard to say dyson. You can find the Rug Rat under different names Riccar uses them, as well as some central vacuum systems.

Cat hair gets into bearings; impossible to get hair out of turbine shaft.
How good does the MD mini Electric Brush compare to a Lux SideKick? Is there a double brush agitator for the RugRat?

These turbo brushes are hard to find here in my area. I only find Hoover turbo tools ($29 at H-E-B Plus!) Seems like carpet is rare in the South (most homes have tile/bare floors) Will the Dyson turbo tool outdo my old RainbowMate or Lux SideKick? No, I highly doubt the Dyson turbo tool will outdo the motorized tools such as the SideKick and Rainbowmate, as the whole belt and motor is in a well designed, durable housing blocked off from the debris AND they have a motor, so they should outdo the Dyson tool. The only reason they wouldn't is that I heard Dyson spends an average of $300,000 designing the brushrolls for their machines, so the brushroll might be better on the Dyson tool, but overall I would say the RainbowMate and SideKick take the plate.
