    Advice, looking for the BEST canister (Unhappy w/Miele)

    Sebo D4` Durango, I know you've mentioned the run problem, but I have a few area rugs (especially the bathroom) that have the long loose thread dense carpets and I haven't had a problem with it yet. I"m not totally sure I understand what the problem can be. I have so many different surfaces...

    makes sense I hated my Aerus experience to be honest. The guy quoted me list and was a jack azz about it. A woman then came in to pay for her's and she was paying only 1300. I asked if I could get it at the same cost and probably would hvae done it and dealt with my wife later, lol. He was...

    Advice, looking for the BEST canister (Unhappy w/Miele)

    I'm up in Berlin and went all over You'd be happy with either machine. As long as you put them through your OWN paces and come up with real tests and not the ones they design for you to show off special traits of their favorite machine or the one they want to get rid of, you'll do fine. Do...

    NYC you are right. Brian talked sense into me yesterday after I saw nearly every vac in this thread (the higher end ones). Even the store owner had the D4. He doesn't have it in the store to sell unless it's asked for since the Miele or Riccar sell over it. marketing or US made over the...

    Advice, looking for the BEST canister (Unhappy w/Miele)

    George, where in CT? I just went through all of this and l listened to everyone. It drove me nuts learning, but it forced me to try everything and that made up my mind quickly. I too am in CT and there were some shops I'd never step foot in again. I like the Miele, except for all the...

    now you all have me rethinking I love the D4 but if I could have gotten the Lux for 1k, I would have run after it. If I could sell the D4, I'd probably make that switch based on everything, lol. Headed out to vac place here in Venice FL to get a pre filter for my parent's upright Panasonic...

    NYC That's perfect. I used to recruit accounting and financial execs (headhunter) and most were late on their own taxes and had others do it for them, lol. Let me know if you get one for 1k with bags and free shipping. I could be really tempted at that price and would probably put my D4 on...

    congrats GREAT choice. I was just answering an email from someone on this thread and he asked if price was no object, which one would I want. If I could sell my D4 for 750 with the box of bags etc, I think I'd pick up the Lux if I could get it for 1k with no shipping or tax. I only played...

    How many Canisters offer a 12' hose?

    My new Sebo has a specially designed hose that uses the Venturi effect in order to increase airflow. Basically it's a hose that is wider at the base unit than it is at the head. In theory it makes a ton of sense. I don't see the need to add a longer hose extension, nor would I based on it's...

    LEAD IN VACUUM'S?

    NYC so true. I'm try to stay very informed on heavy metals in the body as well as heath and wellness. After I was hit with my MS nearly 7 years ago, I started to learn more and more about these things. There is no evidence either way that these 'minimal' amounts of metals in the body will do...

    great choice make sure you give Brian a call. How many Lux dealers do we have here. I bet you can get it for between 1000 and 1200. If I could have gotten it for 1000k I probably would have gone for that. It seems like a great machine.

    Help! Shopping for New Vacuum and Overwhelmed

    I'd say there are about 4 or 5 canisters that stand out that are fairly 'main steam' and not sold door to door. From what I saw, it's not even always the TOL models from companies nor is it always their newest offerings. The only think I wish my power nozzle had was an LED light that is...

    I'm enjoying the Sebo My cleaner did also. She just plugs it in and can do each floor with it plugged into a central outlet. She really likes the machine and didn't find it cumbersome or heavy at all. She said it went where she pulled it. I can tell you that the bag really is huge and I had...

    Once MS hit I wasn't able to get around quite as good as I used to. I love to clean and do it daily, but I can't get down on the floor well to get to the deep cleaning and stuff. When I worked, it was at least 12 hour days and there wasn't time to do anything but work, workout, run the kids...

    My house cleaner is back After 2,5 years we can now afford to have the housecleaner back. She's awesome. From Brazil. Not sure what she uses, but she just checked out the Sebo and it using it today. I'll let you all know what she thinks.

    cooler head prevail, lol I do love the Sebo as it's the best I've ever owned. I always get some buyers remorse and then reading some of the things over here it makes you question things. Yes the Sebo has a full metal wand.

    Guess I'm used to plastic There are all types of plastic and most of the vac's you are all talking about have very good plastic that will last a long long time as long as they are taken care of properly. Now the thing that concerns me is a cracked hose. You really saw hose cracks on demo...

    I may be curious too on that Lux I'm sure I could easily sell mine for the 699 I got it for as I haven't even done the warranty card yet. You guys got me hooked. Thanks a lot. Brian, this is on you, lmao.
