I had a D4 Premium many years ago and didn’t have any issues with the attachments falling out. I’ve had no issues with my current D8 either. They clip in nice and snug

It’s hard to choose a favourite… that’s why I have all 3 haha The Felix or commercial Dart has a 3.5 litre bag. The domestic X series range or commercial XP range have a 5.3 litre bag. The D series in both domestic and commercial variants have a 6 litre bag. Today for example I’ve vacuumed...

They are also considered premium here in the UK. I've no idea why there is such a big price difference as the machines are essentially the same bar a few minor changes. You have a version of the Felix called the Dart. From what I've seen on YT your Dart doesn't have a swivel neck but has the...

Hey guys! It's been years since I posted on here but I thought I'd log on and share with you my current setup. So my house vacuums are all from the Sebo commercial range. I have the D8 with optional turbo brush, large dusting brush and twin care nozzle. The upright XP20 with optional...

Without taking sides because I know both brands have their strong points and weaknesses - I've had more Sebo machines that I've owned from new develop faults and need warranty work than I have Dyson vacuums recently. All mechanical issues relating to the drive belt system with cogs and bearing...

Thanks for the kind comments guys :) In regards to the machines being an expensive trio.... Sebo aren't as expensive in the UK as they are in the USA.... All 3 machines together cost less than £1000. The Felix was only £240. I think all 3 will of cost me around £850 or there abouts. Maybe...

Thought I'd come out from the shadows and make a little thread showing my latest daily drivers LOL FYI I think the last time I posted on here I had two Kirby Avalir's as my daily drivers. While I loved the quality of these machines I ultimately found them a bit too big and awkward for our UK...

Turbo500 has two Electrolux Velocitys. A white one in his loft that doesn't work any more and a blue coloured one in his house that he uses most days.

I've used Kirbys to shampoo loads over the years. My last was a Sentria II, my current is an Avalir. Firstly they never get water / foam into the fan chamber or any internal part of the machine. There is so little air movement through the fan chamber due to the shampoo tank blocking the exhaust...

haha I just couldn't justify keeping the 3rd. Plus selling it meant the two I have kept are even more of a bargain as I've recouped some money

Well...... Machine 3 just sold for £185. Not as much as I'd expected but then again I had it set to 'collection only' and it has miss-matched accessories so I can't complain too much. This means that my TWO 'new' machines with full set of correct accessories only owe me a total of £85...

Have spent the day giving my new daily machine a good run :)

So that leaves me with my two..... So far Avalir number 3 is on eBay at £140. Even if it only sells for £150 it means my two factory fresh Avalirs with a complete set of unused tools will only owe me £120 all in. £120 for two practically new Avalirs. Fair enough I only have one set of...

Avalir number 3 cost me £200. The machine itself was hardly used. Again, still had its original bag inside. But it had been stored in a filthy garage for a decent period and the metal was starting to tarnish. BUT it had a full set of UNUSED dry use tools inc zip brush. Unused Miracle Shine kit...

I was so pleased with my bargains and how little they owed me I decided to keep them. Both. One to use as a daily and one at the back of the cupboard for spares. Kirby parts in the UK are mega expensive - for example when I had a Sentria II the switch failed once the warranty had expired and...
