    When is a Sebo Not a Sebo???

    The Ensign Stealth 1 is technically identical to the SEBO automatic XP1. The Ensign Sensor 300 was the model identical to SEBO automatic X1

    Ensign Stealth 1 (Sebo X1) Problem

    Perhaps the problem could lie with the actual sensor itself as that is the main part which monitors the brush and motor speed. You could try swapping the one out of your X5 and see if that makes any difference?! I know the sensors are calibrated differently though depending on model so it might...

    I don't usually pay much attention to Numatic machines but I want a Lewis now :D

    Ensign Stealth 1 (Sebo X1) Problem

    Defective Ensign Stealth Hi Roger, Have you check that the little magnet on the swivel neck is still in place? I had an X1 that wasn't adjusting once and the little magnet was stuck to the power PCB sensor which made the machine think it was in the upright position. Richard

    Turbo Brush vs Motorhead

    Hi Lucy, A turbo brush is usually powered by the vacuum cleaners air flow whereas a Motörhead is powered by a separate motor. Richard

    ZORBSTER

    at the end of the day.... ....no one died. It is easy to get over excited bidding and I'd have been the same when I was younger. I have bid a fair amount on a couple of them; however, I'm not going to remortgage my house just to buy a few old vacuums. :D

    ZORBSTER

    I have placed the bid on the Discovery! Don't know anything about it but the 'Made in EC' caught my eye. If it was chinese I wouldn't even pay a penny for it!

    TURBOPOWER

    SEBO ET-L I think the ET-L would be cheaper direct from SEBO UK as i find most consumables are. I had a price list a few years ago and the ET-L was £79.99. It might have gone up in price slightly now. I find Espares to be overly expensive, i won't buy from them unless i cannot find what i'm...

    TURBOPOWER

    Yes i forgot to say that you will need the little connection wire that you slot into the rear of the handle at both ends. The powerbrush socket will just slide into the rear of the telescopic tube and you are ready to go.

    TURBOPOWER

    Yes ET-L will fit the K3 Vulcano....I reckon SEBO now even supply it in the dark grey colour scheme. The part number is 6218ER

    TURBOPOWER

    I quite expect those Turbopowers to go for a lot of money as they were the last of the good Hoover uprights. I preferred the original Turbopowers with the headlight though. I wonder if any of those will appear. :-D

    TURBOPOWER

    I have a brochure for the SEBO airbelt C3 Power. I will upload a picture of it later as it shows the external power cable. I was still at school when i got that brochure so must have been from 1998/99.

    TURBOPOWER

    I actually bid on that C3 which was being sold by Claude. I was outbid first time round, then it was re-listed and again i was outbid then it was re-listed AGAIN. I gave up in the end....i could smell a rat! No that brush wasn't a fake. SEBO had 3 styles of Electric Brush available for the C...

    TURBOPOWER

    Yes, it's me who's responsible for the £250 bid on the SEBO airbelt C3. I would bid more if it was the C3 Power with the small ET-L electric brush; which i originally thought it would be!

    TURBOPOWER

    I'm done bidding on the C3 now. If i get out bid C'est la Vie! :-D

    Advice please???

    I do like... ....the look of that Siemens Cylinder. That surely must be around 20 years old now.

    These threads are huuuuge!

    SEBO C3 My heart has been pounding ever since i saw that SEBO C3 listed on ebay. I had an early C3 many years ago which was white with a purple airbelt but i sold it and have regretted it ever since. :-(

    Bissell Powergroom 92L31

    My dad (when he lived in the US) use to have a blue Singer Vacuum cleaner, it looked pretty much identical to the Bissell Softbag pictured above by Durango159. I can't remember the model name or number but it had a red slide switch on the handle but the rest of it looked the same. Anybody...

    Europe to cut power of vacuum cleaners to save energy

    How long will it be before we start seeing 3000w vacuum cleaners. They'll be so powerful you won't be able to manoeuvre them! Ha.
