Sebo Announced Price Increases

[vac14012]

Sebo just announced price increases, that will go into effect in October. Dyson also announced price increases a few months back, and I'm sure Miele will be next on the list.

Vacuum shops and companies in general are in for a rough time. These Tarrifs are a disaster as expected.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

NO PLEASE! NO NO NO NO NO NO!

I was planning on buying some Sebo Turbine Tools from my Sebo Dealer next month.

They already increased the prices on the website just yesterday. I hope the new CEO Adam will still keep the company here strong, John recently stepped down a few months ago.

Even before Jupiter ( the orange colored gas giant ) became Pres and there were no tariffs on household appliances imported from the EU ( I spent hours scrutinizing the US tariff schedule to verify this to be true, no tariffs on imported vacuums ) Sebo and Miele were charging US customers two to three times the price of the same vacuum sold in the EU. We pay a premium because the Germans have everyone convinced their stuff is so much better than anybody elses, and people buy into the hype. There is no way a D costs $400 more to make than an E or even a K. The amount of materials and assembly steps necessary to make them do not justify that price differential, especially when in the EU the price difference between the models is on the order of 25-30 Euros. We get boned on price because the Germans know we are suckers for the "Made in German" label.
