The new Versamatic Plus. http://windsorind2.reachlocal.net/ViewCategories.aspx?Pid=76

Does anyone know anything about the re-designed Windsor Versamatic and Versamatic Plus? It seems they added some new features. Both now have a foot pedal that self-releases. Both now have a clean-out door under the base (like the X series). Both now have the brushstrip replacement door that one...

Mini-wand... Here's a pic of the mini-wand in question. This one has a black plastic sleeve that I didn't see on some of the previous mini-wand pics. Thanks.

I'm interested in getting one of these and ran into this site which has some great pictures of the inside of the MEB160. Is this the same thing as the HEB160 that's gotten a lot of good recommendations here? Just thought I'd share for those of you who are interested. By the way, does anyone...

Hi, Sebo_fan Thanks for the links to the parts sheets. Very helpful. I doubt that I will actually change out the motor, though the thought excites the tinkerer in me. I notice that the motor described in the red X4 parts sheet is a 1000 watt motor. I understand X4s should have a 1300 watt...

The teal lives on... Well, that teal color lives on in the Essential-G. It looks just like the Sensation but the specs are much upgraded: 1300 watts 92" water lift 103.8 CFM These specs are identical to those of the Automatic X series (X4, X5). I've included a link to specs on the Sebo vacs...

I'm primarily a user, not so much a collector. So it would have to be my Tristar CXL!

Wow, that is the ugliest fabric pattern I've seen in a long time. Not for me, nope. Yikes!

Yes, holy cow! Those CFM numbers are really low. Initially I thought that at 44 CFM it was very close to what my Sanitaires move. But then I realized the Sanitaires are rated at 145 CFM. That's 101 CFM difference! Interesting, isn't it? These machines were (are) considered great cleaners even...

Some Specs... Here are some specs from the manual: Vacuum motor: 850 watts Water lift: 69" Air flow: 44 CFM Some of the comments on the YouTube video seem to suggest that the Sensation may be equivalent to a Sebo X1. Could the Sensation be from the 80's? That teal color certainly reminds me...

Service Manual... And here's the link to a service manual I found online. I discovered that there is a little bit of clog in the power head. It's probably why the previous owner sold it. I think it will be easy enough to clear out. I'm excited to use it...

A better YouTube link... I discovered the link I provided leads to a mobile YouTube port. Here's a better link.

Hi! Well, lucky me. I finally found a great deal on a vacuum I've always wanted: a Windsor XP12. Only it isn't an XP12. It's a Windsor Sensation. Now, I have never seen an XP12 in person. Only in pictures and video. But the Sensation looks almost identical save for an oval on/off rocker switch...

Great find! I've always wanted wanted one of those. You lucky duck! What is the performance difference between the Sensor series and the Versamatics, by the way? Congrats on finding a great deal!

So I finally moved. Now I have no room and have been getting rid of most of my collection. For my apartment managing work, I have only room to keep two uprights. My initial instinct was to hang onto two Sanitaires. But as other folks in my family used them, I realized that Sanitaires take some...

Is it a new color scheme, Gareth? I have never seen one with a solid colored filter cloth before. Always ones with pattern prints. I don't know if specs are different in SA, but wasn't there some talk about Sebo dropping the Amatek motor in favor of a newer, quieter, more reliable finned motor...

Art Deco! Those art deco gems sure are breathtaking. The XXX in original shape it a true work of art! The Kenmore is pretty spiffy, too.

Yeah, I think just as with anything it can be a compromise. The noise is generated by the motor. I'd think that putting material inside the motor compartment would trap heat. Whether enough heat is trapped to shorten the life of the motor depends on the vacuum, I'd think. I bet there are some...

Hello, Nathaniel Thanks for sharing your experience with this vacuum. I've always been curious about Riccar's tandem airs. They seem like well built machines. Which is why I find it interesting that a lot of folks seem to find them lacking in one regard or another. A lot's been said about their...

Gotta add some roughage to Fido's diet... or else go for the WET/dry model. Yuk. :)
