You probably got the suction only C1 or C2 in New Zealand. Same canister but no electric hose or power nozzle.

For something like a Sebo G4/G5 a box of 8 dust bags, a HEPA pre motor filter and the electrostatic exhaust filter will cost you about $120 and last a year. A replacement brush roll is about $35. They are very inexpensive to operate. A Miele canister will cost you a couple of times that for...

The Hoover has a rubber squeegie behind the nozzle opening so dirt isn't thrown behind when cleaning hard floors. It is the first upwrong I have used regularly to clean hard floors with and might not have even tried had I not seen some reviews of the Hushtone that mentioned how well it cleans...

I use my C3.1 and don't worry about it. The suction motors can be rebuilt and Domel still makes new ones. One of the reasons I prefer the old C3.1 is that it uses a full size ( 145mm, 5.7 inch ) motor, not the tiny little Bosch screamer used in modern Sebo canister vacs. The C3.1 also uses...

You say that but I have been using our Commercial Hoover Hushtone Plus on our hard floors with results as good as any canister vac I have. You can see it pulling pet hair out of corners. I also have a nozzle set up for our Avalir 2 where I removed the brush roll and belt and have the Floor...

Using recycled plastics might explain why the plastics on Dysons ( Diesoons ) get brittle and break so soon. The plastics Diesoon uses is a major reason they offend me so. Just this cheap, hard, shiny, squeaky, brittle garbage. Everything about them screams cheap. I wouldn't buy a bagged...

IMHO Sebo has not improved upon the C3.1. That remains their best ever canister vacuum, and especially so if it has the recently released revised C/K hose that is 8 feet long and finally has an off-on switch for the power nozzle and you also have the later all metal telescopic wand ( earlier...

Sebo makes a nice product but their North American pricing is an insult. Even before the recent imposition of tariffs Sebo would sell vacuums in the EU for half of what they charge for the same machine in the US. Shipping a 40 foot container from Bremerhaven to the US costs around $2,000 and...

Suction and airflow on these are modest due I think to the small diameter of the hose and exhaust opening, but no better or worse than a Tristar. The hose spouts on each end have an internal diameter of 28mm or 1.1 inches. I guess the "1 1/4" refers to the outside diameter. 28 cfm airflow and...

I don't see a bagless vacuum being much of an improvement over the old shake out bag vacuums common when I was a lot younger. I always detested emptying them. As for the environmental impact, all the shmuts along with used filters ends up in the landfill either way but I don't have to suffer a...

What's annoying is that Schoettler puts the button lock farther up the spout than you find for Kenmore, Eureka, Tristar or standard central vacuum wands and the spout itself has a bit of a taper compared to a central vacuum hose end. Same for the upper wand with cord control for the power...

Well worth $80. They sold new for over $2000. The Sebo ET350 power nozzle alone is worth well over $80. It's one of the all time great power nozzles. A pair of standard 1 1/4 inch diameter 19 inch long friction fit wands and a simple parquet floor brush are all you need to use this on hard...

I didn't even know about spin mops until visiting relatives in Shanghai. Everyone uses spin mops there but they are very different. The handle works up and down like a plunger in a threaded sleeve that spins the mop in the bucket as you push the handle up and down. With the O'Cedar spin mop a...

That Vileda spin mop looks just like our O'Cedar spin mop. Wouldn't surprise me if they are sold under several different names. Yeah, they work good.

A K3 will clean every bit as well as the E or D series and for a lot less money. About all you might be giving up is bag size and cord length. Those are not worth the ridiculous premium you pay for the D. I have a lot of heartburn with Sebo canister vacuum pricing. The only one that is worth...

Just me but hard floor nozzles with wheels don't work in our home.. The best hard floor brush is something like Sebo's most basic parquet floor brush. I have wheeled floor brushes but I can't turn them sideways to get between the desk and wall or some of the other narrow gaps where pet hair...

For our home on our hard floors, it is just easier and less messy to vacuum up the dirt and pet hair then use one of those O'Cedar spin mops to mop the floor. Cleaning out one of those wet floor cleaners looks gross. It seems like a way to make a simple chore like mopping the floor expensive...

My wife makes sure everybody knows her husband collects vacuums : / Sigh

Amazingly EZVacuum.com has that nozzle base hose for many Kenmore upwrongs. They are one of the very few sellers that stock those parts. I am just not a fan of the direct drive brush roll. To expensive to replace when it wears out and the part is forever out of stock. I am NOT paying $250...
