Miele Complete C3 Marin vs Vacmaster VBV1210

The vacuum comes with two large bristles: an electric power brush and a brush for hardwood cleaning. The electric power brush can be used on every floor and carpeting ,since it has five adjustable height levels and even an LED light that lets you see under furniture. The hardwood bristle is very flexible and rotates by 180 degrees, so you can get in even the tightest spots behind furniture or in corners.

Because of the extensive testing and strict quality control, Miele offers a seven-year warranty on the motor and the casing, and a one-year warranty for the rest of the parts. On top of that, Miele claims that the vacuum is made to work for 20 years and, reading customer reviews of the previous Miele vacuum cleaners, you can say that's more or less accurate.

Another feature that makes this unit very versatile is the automatic speed adjustment. The unit decides itself how much power is needed, depending on the tool you're using and the type of surface you are cleaning, for optimized results.

The motor is sound isolated, making it one of the quietest units on the market.

All the small attachments can be tucked away in a covered tool storage built into the main unit. Since the storage is covered, you don’t have to worry that the accessories will fall off and go missing.

As a German product, there is a lot of attention to small details. For example, the dusting brush is made from natural hair that doesn’t curl or mat. The upholstery nozzle has two strips that capture the lint and threads when moving the nozzle forward and then cleaning themselves when going backward.

This unit has one of the most powerful motors in its price range, being capable of outputing a maximum of 5 hp of raw power. This immense power allows it to suck up large amounts of liquid, large pieces of sawdust, or even screws.

If you happen to use the vacuum to collect liquid and large debris, it is very straightforward to dispose of them. You don’t have to pick up the unit to pour out the liquid. Instead, you can use a large drain port.

Weighing 17 pounds, being 18 inches wide, and having a canister that can hold up to 12 gallons of dust, this vacuum is big. But it's also quite portable. It has four 360-degree casters that, once attached, making this unit easy to roll around. Because of its wide footprint, it is very stable and unlikely to tip over.

It can be transformed into a blower and the powerful motor can produce more than 200 mph of wind power to blow leaves or other stuff around.
