I never had one of these, and now looks like I never will. I’m still very happy with my Meile C3 and U1… a decade later, and they still look like brand new.

I've got several. They are absolutely awful for keeping your house clean and nobody should ever rely on them to clean your house, BUT from a technical and engineering standpoint, as well as a hobbyist standpoint, they are incredible to admire. I am amazed at how much torque the motors have, its absolutely insane.
