Miele honestly should pay you a hefty sum for making this! They make it so damn complicated and don't present any clean/concise explanation of differences. And then the models and nomenclature are totally different for different countries/regions. You'd think they could come up with a way to rationalize everything.
You know your line up is a mess when it takes 4 minutes to explain the differences and people leave still confused on which one to get. Some one at Miele needs to simplify this line.
Ugh no kidding. I completely understand that they are trying to hit as many price points as possible, but when it takes hours to research what model you need, you need a better system to explain it all. It’s best to think of them by their primary tasks in what you need a vacuum for. Calima: 80%+ Hard floors. Alize: 80%+ hard floors with upgraded canister level features and something that you can upgrade later to carpet. Kona: basic carpet. Soft Carpet: higher pile carpets. Cat and Dog: dog and cat clean up with more odor control. Homecare: you like the color red and longer warranties. Marin: fancy power brush and upgrade canister level features. Brilliant: really fancy power brush and some lights. Homecare+: longer warranty, really fancy power brush, and lots of tools. The homecare primarily exists from my understanding as a peace offering to the Miele dealers after Miele started selling in big box stores. Homecare is a dealer exclusive and comes with longer warranties as mentioned.
Totally agree. I actually used the “Compare” tool on Miele’s website and the two I were considering showed no differences except for their color, yet the one was $100 more. Why? 🤷🏼♀️ The good thing about Miele is they do have a great dealer network so when you walk in a store you’re dealing with someone who will be knowledgeable and have an answer for you but it’s so old school. People nowadays just want to do their research online, click “buy” and have it delivered to their doorstep.
Which one is best for allergies/asthma? I have pets (probably shouldn’t), and have tile in kitchen and bathrooms, and replaced all our carpet with luxury vinyl. Thanks
This was the most informative video I’ve seen explaining the difference between all these models. Not to mention it was very quick, concise, and clear! Thank you!
You forgot to mention one really, really useful feature that you inly get with the Alize: a SpotLight handle! I love this feature as it illuminates dark corners even when you are just using the hose without the extension wand. This special handle uses 3 batteries, and the light turns off a few minutes after you switch it on - so it is only used when needed. This SpotLight handle can be bought as an optional extra for any Miele suction-only canister that does not use an electrified hose. It's like having an on-board LED flashlight while you are cleaning!
Supremely helpful video! Thank you so much! I've considered a Miele vacuum since I was 18 YO, and I'm pulling the trigger now, especially with Amazon's extended and free holiday return window. Your video helped me navigate the confusing world of C3, and was far more successful resulting in a sale, rather than the slick Miele company videos, as nice as they are. Heart star from NY.
This was exactly what I needed! I was deciding between two different models and this was the most informative video, laying everything out in a way that was easy to understand! Thank you so much
Ditto C2. We've done some testing for our cleaning company, and we're very impressed. Lightweight, great suction, wide heads. Retractable cord. Has a bag.
I have a Complete C3 "Special Edition" which is basically the Calima without the HEPA filter (plug and play retrofit, just gotta buy it...) and with the filter change indicator and the All Teq brush/turbo carpet brush combo. It's also a lovely deep forest green color. Anyways, I've had it for 5 years now, using it literally every single day, some times multiple times a day, and it is still going strong. I am extremely pleased with it. I've only had two things fail on it. First is the handle, it bears all the stress of moving the wand and head around, banging in to chairs and baseboards. It cracked about 3 years in. Bought the OEM replacement for $26. not bad. Second is the strain relief on the power cord. The auto retract system is pretty violent on it. The conductors are fine, insulation still in place, but the plug is currently electrical taped to the cord. Don't tell OSHA. BTW my house is all hard floors with one small (6'x8') area rug and an entrance rug (2'x4') so the turbo air brush is more than enough for weekly deep cleans of the rugs and the AllTeq brush gets the job done on a daily basis.
Thank you for this video. I am shopping for a vacuum now and have decided on a Miele. I was having a very difficult time trying to figure out the differences in all the models.
Even though I'm in Canada and we only have 4 models, this video was very informational regarding the accessories and the "universal" main specs across the C3 line. It makes perfect sense that the majority of models are differentiated using motor heads and accessories.
This was a big help. Wish i had it before i bought my new C3 Homecare -- which i like --- but brush head options, features and benefits were not apparent at time of purchase. On a separate note, my 25 year old Miele White Star (Calima equivalent) still worked fine, except for a recently broken hose attachment. Miele makes quality products and you do get your money's worth.
Best Miele review video that I have watched! Thank you! I purchased Marin. I really like the power but it is tooooo heavy and bulky. I cannot decide if I return and purchase a dyson v15
I have the Marin and it really is one quiet machine with great build quality and slick styling. I've had Mieles for many years of my considerably long life and they are the only vacuums that sell instantly and at top dollar when it comes time to say goodbye to them. Praise aside, my cordless machines see the most regular use because the are sooo easy and because the debris is dumped with every cleaning, they never smell. Even the Miele, with is fabulous charcoal filter will still smell if it sits around with a bag full of pet hair.
So true!! Had you had to have any of your Mieles repaired? I was comparing the Marin to the SEBO Airbelt D4 Premium and picked the SEBO for fears of big repair bills on an already expensive vacuum.
@@TheJimbo301 One of them needed to have the rewind mechanism replaced because the power wasn't working. $150 for the part. But I managed to fix the part and didn't wind up needing to replace it after all. Sebo is a great machine and I'm sure it will last a long time.
To my surprise this has been a fantastic machine very portable🌼 very efficient, and clean. Would never thought that I would like a canister vac and Miele is the tops!
Can you make a video comparing particle count on Miele Canister w/ optional HEPA filter & without HEPA filter installed? Because Miele already claims their dust bag has a 99.9% filtration, so I don't understand why the need for the optional HEPA filter. Thx!!
Hey! Just wanted to add some things. The Calima and Alize would also need an electric hose to upgrade to power nozzles. Warranty is also different between the models. Of the models listed above the homecares and the brilliant would carry the 10 year main body and motor warranty with 5 years on the other components. While the other machines have 7 years on the main body and motors with 1 year on the other components.
Thanks, good points on most of these, I think I did mention the electric hose for the Calima and Alize at around 1:40 , or was there something else they need, besides the "electric tube" So Im guessing its an electric tube and electric hose? Its funny I actually called Miele on this point and got several different answers.
@@VacuumWars You mentioned a socket and a tube but from what I can see neither one has an electric hose. The Alize appears to have a spotlight handle and while i'm unfamiliar with that I dont't think they have the electrical connection you'd need to transfer power to the wand.
Whats funny is that no c3 model with the power heads are available in europe/germany. What a shame to be honest. Got the c3 powerline parquet. Just found the turboteq head from an old c1 we have laying around in the basement from 10 years ago. Guess I have to use the turboteq head instead!
I just purchased a SEBO Airbelt D4 Premium and was wondering how it compares to the Miele Marin or Brilliant with the 236 power head. I picked the SEBO over the Miele based on a few differences. SEBO D4 has a much long power cord at 40 feet, you can change out the roller brush with no tools and it seems if it needed repairs it would be less expensive and less likely to need a repair. Would love love love to see a comparison of these two German vacuum manufactures canister models.
I absolutely love this vacuum🌼 The turbo brush works great on my tile floor. The size is ideal because it can fit easily in tighter spots. The turbo brush swivels easily allowing me to vacuum under the sofas without any issues. I have 3 dogs so this bagless system is great for me. Love this vacuum!
Great video! As far as canister vacuums go, I've never used a better vacuum than my Miele. I have the Marin. I also like that it's bagged. I prefer bagged vacuums because they're less messy to empty and theres no filters to wash. Aside from replacing the bag, there's a HEPA and premotor filter to replace on occasion. The bags come with new premotor filters. They also come with new Airclean filters. However, I prefer to use a HEPA filter. Even though they are very expensive vacuums, I think its worth it.
I just bought a dyson cinetic big ball animal Canister. I wonder how it compares to the C3 Brilliant. Have you ever tested the Dyson Canisters? I curious what the AW would be since part of the suction goes to the turbine head.
What's the difference between Miele's C1 vs. C2 vs. C3? And why would I consider a canister vacuum over the convenience of a cordless? (I currently am in a rental with wall to wall carpet but in the long term plan to be in a home with mostly hardwood and a few area rugs)
It’s worth saying that the Alize is “your save money now, upgrade later as needed” model. You get all the fancy features of the Marin canister like the auto power adjustment and motor overheat sensor, but save nearly 400 dollars in the process. For me, when I bought my Alize, I had primarily hard floors and one floor of carpet. I got a turbo brush for my small amount of carpet and went on my way. I just bought a home with a lot more carpet, and went to eBay and found some great deals are to be had on some lightly used Miele items. I purchased the electric wand new as no used one was on offer, but got the electric hose and SEB 228 power head (the mid range electric power brush) all total for around 250 dollars. While the hose and power head were used, you could have fooled me if you told me they were brand new. All and all, around 200+ dollars saved compared to buying all new.
I'm in the process of purchasing a C3, but the only models available in my area is the cat and dog, and the family all-rounder. I'm unsure of which models those fit in to here, since I assume there's been a bit of an update among the models.
Just wondering, how does this compare with upright vacuum cleaners? My husband suggests the canister type but I want on board on buying the Shark Vertex Duo on the other video that you have.
I ended up buying one. I was pleased but second time I used it the orange full bag indicator goes almost fully to the right. The bag is nearly empty since I inspected it visually. I didn’t vacuum any fine particles, just the usual dust and hair. I don’t get it, am I doing something wrong? There is nothing stuck in the hose or nozzle. I just set full power, place nozzle on rug and lift. Thinking of returning it but before I do I’m trying to find out an expert’s opinion. Thank you
I recently bought a cat and dog a week ago and it doesn’t come with electro brush and is not power handle compatible. Do they not make it with electric handles anymore ?
Finally! I was ready to break something trying to figure out this obscurantist Miele nonsense. Except that unfortunately there are even more models than the ones you listed here (I'm in Canada) so it doesn't actually help me. But finally someone actually acknowledging the total lack of explanation of differences...
How long are the cords on these vacuums? I have a sebo x4 with a 40 foot cord which I love but want to upgrade to the c3. Probs going to get the homecare model. Does the c3 have the ability to attach the electric head to the handle itself(like what the shark powered lift aways do)? Can you do a test on the c3 brilliant or home are?
I wish they would just sell one base machine and have the accessories/cleaner heads as a la carte options. Same with dyson and other brands that make various models which mainly only differ in accessories or cleaner heads.
Hi, you were saying all their AIRFLOW/SUCTION are all the same, but I tried looking in the description and also finished the video but there are no specific number for cfm. Does anyone know? Just doing some research and charts. Thanks!
Hello community, do you have any experience with C1? I want to buy a Miele C1 powerline as a gift. She has joint problems and I believe she cannot hold heavy stuff for too long. I'm very open to your suggestions as well. FYI: we can only access to EU markets. Thanks.
You're a champ. I couldn't make heads or tails of all these different models. The cheap Alize is the right one for me, but I think I wouldn't mind adding on that turbo mini brush! I'd use that a fair bit!
Very complete description of all the models. Will you be testing one of the c3's.The filtration on these machines with the hepa filter is second to none.
Yeah thats part of the reason why I did the research in the first place, trying to decide if getting one makes sense for the channel, and if so which one.
@@VacuumWarsI bought to Marin with the 236 powerhead. I use this mainly for the parquet tool for the hardwood floors. I still use a Dyson Ball Multifloor on my carpets. I guess I like the instant gratification of seeing what the cleaner picked up. Still getting a 0 particles reading on my 2015 dyson. I even took the plastic ball cover off and tested all the way around the hepa filter and 0 particles.
Ugh, I completely understand that they are trying to hit as many price points as possible, but when it takes hours to research what model you need, you need a better system to explain it all. This video is pretty good, but to add to it, it’s best to separate them of them by their primary tasks in what you need a vacuum for. Calima: 80%+ Hard floors. Alize: 80%+ hard floors with upgraded canister level features and something that you can upgrade later to carpet. Kona: basic carpet. Soft Carpet: higher pile carpets. Cat and Dog: dog and cat clean up with more odor control. Homecare: you like the color red and longer warranties. Marin: fancy power brush and upgrade canister level features. Brilliant: really fancy power brush and some lights. Homecare+: longer warranty, really fancy power brush, and lots of tools. The homecare primarily exists from my understanding as a peace offering to the Miele dealers after Miele started selling in big box stores. Homecare is a dealer exclusive and comes with longer warranties as mentioned.
Actually step 1, do you want a powered head or not? Step two, if yes which one. Ignore the "cat and dog" because nothing Miele makes is really made differently for pet hair. You can buy the attachments separately, but you cannot use a power head on a non powerhead canister body. I highly recommend you buy Miele vacuums locally so you get better service, plus you can test drive all of the models. I would only pick a full sized C3/S8 model.
Buyer beware! I just got off the phone with Miele and I was told that there are no replacement Soft Carpet heads like the one shown here when it breaks. They'll replace the SC version that you buy specifically for high end rugs and soft carpets use with a standard one that can't be used with them, the manual clearly states that the replacement Electro head unit will destroy oriental rugs and soft carpets. None of their other heads are compatible with oriental rugs and soft carpets so you'll end up with a boat anchor if you bought this model, how stupid is that Miele?
Can someone just tell me which one to get? My needs are: I have a house with both hard floors and carpet. I have a long hair Persian cat that has hair everywhere. The hair is on upholstery, chairs, floors, carpets, rugs, on top of furniture and electronics and crevices like the space next to my refrigerator. We also have normal issues like hair on the bathroom floor and carpet steps that need vacuuming. I would appreciate anyone who knows which one to get. Remember have all types of floors in my house and cat hair everywhere. THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO I HAVE FOUND IN WEEKS OF SEARCHING. I just am concerned that no one vacuum can meet all my needs. Perhaps there is a parts option that can be included in the vacuum suggestion.
The Brilliant and Home care+ have linger warranty. I don't know what to do....should I buy a Miele upright for half the price of a Brilliant? My Electrolux took a dump. I like canisters but dang Miele really hurts the wallet with them.
@@VacuumWars I didn't know that, just googled it, seems like they own them since 2017. To bad you can't get them in the US, I think people would love them and there would be more reviews on here. In Europe they are the most expensive but people seem to be in love with them.
I don't understand why Miele just doesn't sell one basic model and sell the attachments separately. There is no need for all the different models. They technically aren't different models anyway, just different colors with different attachments
Like in stores? Or just around the web, either way they are still popping out all kinds of new stuff, I was meaning to check out their new robo vac but it looks like it might be underwhelming.
Vacuum Wars in stores where I live in Maryland there aren’t many vacuum stores. Also what is your favorite electronic floor head my is the small one for low pile carpets
ABSOLUTELY. I only have a one bedroom apartment. But use my c 2pkeerlone plus every day. It's so powerful l have never in 14have use it past the second setting..Never had a single problem. I am a stickler for changing the filter and bag very regularly And only use Meile pard
Before I get to far into this video.. I hate that canisters lack a lot of airflow. All that hose absorbs the airflow and idk why one would buy it for anything but convenience
@@VacuumWars Not your fault. Miele is increasingly getting a reputation for selling average products at very high prices and appalling customer service here in the UK.
I thought the C3s came with a 7 year body warranty which covers the motor/vaccuum part, and the Brilliant comes with a 10 year body warranty, which did you get and why didn’t the warranty apply? Very curious 🤨
Not interested in this channel. These videos keep being recommended to me in spite of me marking them as not interested. I wish someone would stop recommending these videos to me!

Does the indicator move or is it stuck? If it moves that means you have a clog. If you don't clean the clog you will eventually burn the motor out.

I recently bought a cat and dog a week ago and it doesn’t come with electro brush and is not power handle compatible. Do they not make it with electric handles anymore ?
How about the warranty? I know it's longer on the top two.
The c3 homecare + seems like the only right way to go....
Finally! I was ready to break something trying to figure out this obscurantist Miele nonsense. Except that unfortunately there are even more models than the ones you listed here (I'm in Canada) so it doesn't actually help me. But finally someone actually acknowledging the total lack of explanation of differences...
Thanks--that was SO worth watching! Trying to figure this out on my own was making me crazy!
Thanks for this very informative video while I make a decision on my next Vacuum purchase. I still think it's going to be the Marin.
Glad it was helpful!
How long are the cords on these vacuums? I have a sebo x4 with a 40 foot cord which I love but want to upgrade to the c3. Probs going to get the homecare model. Does the c3 have the ability to attach the electric head to the handle itself(like what the shark powered lift aways do)? Can you do a test on the c3 brilliant or home are?
Even though I am young I still love vacuums especially shark duo-clean
I wish they would just sell one base machine and have the accessories/cleaner heads as a la carte options. Same with dyson and other brands that make various models which mainly only differ in accessories or cleaner heads.
Hi, you were saying all their AIRFLOW/SUCTION are all the same, but I tried looking in the description and also finished the video but there are no specific number for cfm. Does anyone know? Just doing some research and charts. Thanks!
did you find the answer?
Hello community, do you have any experience with C1? I want to buy a Miele C1 powerline as a gift. She has joint problems and I believe she cannot hold heavy stuff for too long. I'm very open to your suggestions as well. FYI: we can only access to EU markets. Thanks.
You're a champ. I couldn't make heads or tails of all these different models. The cheap Alize is the right one for me, but I think I wouldn't mind adding on that turbo mini brush! I'd use that a fair bit!
Glad I could help!
Very complete description of all the models. Will you be testing one of the c3's.The filtration on these machines with the hepa filter is second to none.
Yeah thats part of the reason why I did the research in the first place, trying to decide if getting one makes sense for the channel, and if so which one.
@@VacuumWarsI bought to Marin with the 236 powerhead. I use this mainly for the parquet tool for the hardwood floors. I still use a Dyson Ball Multifloor on my carpets. I guess I like the instant gratification of seeing what the cleaner picked up. Still getting a 0 particles reading on my 2015 dyson. I even took the plastic ball cover off and tested all the way around the hepa filter and 0 particles.
Ugh, I completely understand that they are trying to hit as many price points as possible, but when it takes hours to research what model you need, you need a better system to explain it all. This video is pretty good, but to add to it, it’s best to separate them of them by their primary tasks in what you need a vacuum for. Calima: 80%+ Hard floors. Alize: 80%+ hard floors with upgraded canister level features and something that you can upgrade later to carpet. Kona: basic carpet. Soft Carpet: higher pile carpets. Cat and Dog: dog and cat clean up with more odor control. Homecare: you like the color red and longer warranties. Marin: fancy power brush and upgrade canister level features. Brilliant: really fancy power brush and some lights. Homecare+: longer warranty, really fancy power brush, and lots of tools.
The homecare primarily exists from my understanding as a peace offering to the Miele dealers after Miele started selling in big box stores. Homecare is a dealer exclusive and comes with longer warranties as mentioned.
Actually step 1, do you want a powered head or not? Step two, if yes which one. Ignore the "cat and dog" because nothing Miele makes is really made differently for pet hair. You can buy the attachments separately, but you cannot use a power head on a non powerhead canister body. I highly recommend you buy Miele vacuums locally so you get better service, plus you can test drive all of the models. I would only pick a full sized C3/S8 model.
Man, my dad has a really old Miele Capricorn (S5980). It's really heavy and kinda a pain to drag around. The new ones are probably much lighter.
Capricorn is not that old...
Will test cx1 blizzard any time soon?
Excellent overview! Ty for producing this!
Thank you for watching!
Can you do more reviews on small, corded canister vacs like the Eureka Mighty Mite Canister Vacuum?
It's possible. Thank you for the suggestion!
Thank you! This answered so many questions for me.
Glad it was helpful!
great job explaining everything
Jeesh thanks this was helpful. So many kinds 😮
Glad you enjoyed!
Buyer beware! I just got off the phone with Miele and I was told that there are no replacement Soft Carpet heads like the one shown here when it breaks. They'll replace the SC version that you buy specifically for high end rugs and soft carpets use with a standard one that can't be used with them, the manual clearly states that the replacement Electro head unit will destroy oriental rugs and soft carpets. None of their other heads are compatible with oriental rugs and soft carpets so you'll end up with a boat anchor if you bought this model, how stupid is that Miele?
Can someone just tell me which one to get? My needs are:
I have a house with both hard floors and carpet. I have a long hair Persian cat that has hair everywhere. The hair is on upholstery, chairs, floors, carpets, rugs, on top of furniture and electronics and crevices like the space next to my refrigerator.
We also have normal issues like hair on the bathroom floor and carpet steps that need vacuuming.
I would appreciate anyone who knows which one to get. Remember have all types of floors in my house and cat hair everywhere.
THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO I HAVE FOUND IN WEEKS OF SEARCHING.
I just am concerned that no one vacuum can meet all my needs. Perhaps there is a parts option that can be included in the vacuum suggestion.
can you test the Electrolux Pure I9 and the Eureka Floor Rover
Be serious! love Miele! nothing else😁
WOW. So well explained!
I still can't process this crap. why so complicated. I Don't know why companies do this.... thanks for the breakdown though
The Brilliant and Home care+ have linger warranty.
I don't know what to do....should I buy a Miele upright for half the price of a Brilliant? My Electrolux took a dump. I like canisters but dang Miele really hurts the wallet with them.
Dave Sullivan You’ve probably already made a decision but I’d recommend the C2 electro+ if you need a canister in that price range.
Get the Brilliant or Homecare better warranty
Great explanation.
Thank you!
Miele is one of the best brands overall....do a video about Vorwerks :)
Vorwerk is great, they own Neato Robotics now I think.
@@VacuumWars I didn't know that, just googled it, seems like they own them since 2017. To bad you can't get them in the US, I think people would love them and there would be more reviews on here. In Europe they are the most expensive but people seem to be in love with them.
Good info! Thanks!
Can you make a review on the vacuum
Im trying to decide which one I want!
@@VacuumWars Which one did you end up purchasing please?
Its 12:20 am. Buttttt I found you’re video so here I am
Great video, exactly what needed to be done. Thank you!
Helped a lot 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
That’s great. Thanks.
I’m getting Miele complete c3 cat and dog
great comparison, straight to the point.
Damn, they like to make their model range confusing (BMW comes to mind too). Great vacuums though.
Do a vid on the first models of popular vacuum brands
Cool Idea, thanks!
Wow thx
Oh sweet baby Jesus.
Excelente video btw
I don't understand why Miele just doesn't sell one basic model and sell the attachments separately. There is no need for all the different models. They technically aren't different models anyway, just different colors with different attachments
Hey what’s up? Why do I never see Miele now?
Like in stores? Or just around the web, either way they are still popping out all kinds of new stuff, I was meaning to check out their new robo vac but it looks like it might be underwhelming.
Vacuum Wars in stores where I live in Maryland there aren’t many vacuum stores. Also what is your favorite electronic floor head my is the small one for low pile carpets
Great, great video. Wow.
Same format, same style, could be used for everything! Think about it…
Thank you!
Why don’t you mention Miele in your new videos specially the canister vacuums.
ABSOLUTELY. I only have a one bedroom apartment. But use my c 2pkeerlone plus every day. It's so powerful l have never in 14have use it past the second setting..Never had a single problem. I am a stickler for changing the filter and bag very regularly
And only use Meile pard
By the way, your videos are legit. I love them.
Very good video but it didnt help me so much because the names in sweden is totally different. Besides Cat & Dog.
Good to know!
Can you do a vid on the shark nv70
I have it on the list, so one of these days.
Good video but idk why this was recommended lol
how do I hire you?
Well said. Thumbs up.?
How about comparing their ridiculous prices too?
What? You think $1500 is a lot for a vacuum?? LOL
@@TheJimbo301 these vacuums probably cost about $150 to make. $1500 is WAY overpriced
3:42 they all have hepa 👍
3:45 they all dont have hepa 👎
I was so early this time
Lol, Im just glad you came by at all!
Before I get to far into this video.. I hate that canisters lack a lot of airflow. All that hose absorbs the airflow and idk why one would buy it for anything but convenience
You need to check out the Miele C3, then tell us how the air flow is. I think you'll find it amazing, but they are pricey!!!
DO NOT BUY ONE OF THESE. They die on average after 3 years (NOT the 20 years they boast about) customer service is also truly dreadful.
Wow that is different from what I've heard, but I'm still sorry you had that experience.
@@VacuumWars Not your fault. Miele is increasingly getting a reputation for selling average products at very high prices and appalling customer service here in the UK.
I thought the C3s came with a 7 year body warranty which covers the motor/vaccuum part, and the Brilliant comes with a 10 year body warranty, which did you get and why didn’t the warranty apply? Very curious 🤨
Triggered
lol
1200 watt 😂 🇪🇺

You did it! Nice!🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Not interested in this channel. These videos keep being recommended to me in spite of me marking them as not interested. I wish someone would stop recommending these videos to me!
I can hide the channel from you, if you'd like!
The MIELE is simply the BEST!

Close but 2nd 🏅😀
