Randy likes space, robots, and baseball, but he can't ace everything . . . or can he? Chris Van Dusen knocks one out of the park with a comical ode to ingenuity. Randy Riley loves two things: science and baseball. When it comes to the solar system, the constellations, and all things robot, Randy is a genius. But on the baseball diamond? Not so much.

Porsche of vacuum cleaners
Color: Nordic Blue/Space Grey, Style: Miele Guard L1
The Miele Guard L1 Bagged Canister Vacuum Cleaner is the Porsche of vacuum cleaners. I have owned numerous vacuum cleaners over the years. This Miele Guard L1 tops them all. My last vacuum cleaner was an Electrolux canister vacuum cleaner, excellent vacuum which still works after 20 years, but not even close "especially the suction power" to this new Miele Guard L1 Bagged Canister Vacuum cleaner.
Let's hope it last as long as the Electrolux.

Ultimately less expensive than cheaper brands. Works much better, too.
Color: Nordic Blue/Space Grey, Style: Miele Guard L1
Expensive but worth it. I used to buy Kenmore's like this and had to take them in every two years to get fixed. The vacuum guy in our town told me that I was wasting money because the Meile (Rhymes with Sheila he said) was so much sturdier and lasted so much longer. I bought the lower end Meile and have never gone back. That first model lasted 10 years with no problems and I traded it in for the model C. That has lasted 20 years and needed work as my kids weren't as respectful with it as they should. I just bought this newer model due to reviews and I am very satisfied. I was able to find a new model that had the box bumped and crumpled. The vacuum is completely fine. The suction is dreamy, the power cord that turns on the rug attachment is encased in the wand so dog hair doesn't get tangled in it. My single wish is that there were more metal parts as plastic ages and cracks. Metal would increase weight. My engineer husband is totally satisfied and looks for opportunities to vacuum. Hard to be mad about that! 😉

Nice Vacuum, But Had Odor
Color: Nordic Blue/Space Grey, Style: Miele Guard L1, Color: Nordic Blue/Space Grey, Style: Miele Guard L1
I can only offer one star for this review. The vacuum looks nice, comes with a hose, floor attachments and an extendable wand. However, it smelled really bad because it was full of debris. The bag has a nice flapper on the input port, which is good because otherwise all the debris would have come out in transit. The unit and floor attachments appear well built and are surprisingly light weight even when crammed full of hair. The color looked nice underneath the dirt in the plastic bag. Unfortunately, I did not get to use this one because the person before me already did --- extensively. I would rate higher if I did not have to return this one and try again for a new unit. Therefore too early to know if this can be recommended or not.

not recommended
Color: Nordic Blue/Space Grey, Style: Miele Guard L1
I would not recommend this vacuum. The hose does not swivel at the base so its in a knot.The handle does not have the power switch, not convenient.When you pull the power cord out the whole vacuum moves.For the price it feels cheap.
