    Thoughts on the Sebo Balance A1 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner?

    None of us really know why SEBO has decided to go into the cordless domestic market in 2025. For them to still in 2025 to be producing corded domestic and commercial machines in a market which is mostly cordless and selling them is quite remarkable. If bagless and cordless is so superior why...

    Thoughts on the Sebo Balance A1 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner?

    I know you didn’t! I’d be surprised if that’s achievable where this is manufactured and keeping the price down but using higher quality materials. SEBO in that case would have made it themselves surely in that case but not at the cheaper price. Yes they could have used some of the SEBO...

    Pick your poison: Main equivalency!

    I believe so and there are concerns as these materials and minerals that are mined for them are not in endless supplies!

    Pick your poison: Main equivalency!

    That’s also a concern I often question the environmental impact producing these batteries has and after they are done with.

    Thoughts on the Sebo Balance A1 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner?

    It’s quite clear why SEBO did what they did with their first cordless domestic machine. In an ever growing competitive market especially cordless in the UK and Europe that I know of they wanted to enter this market with a product that’s competitively priced. Producing one in Germany would have...

    Pick your poison: Main equivalency!

    What makes me laugh is people say they prefer bagless as no running costs on buying bags and better for the environment. What do most do empty it into a plastic bin liner which correct me if I’m wrong goes into landfill. I’ve owned and used both and still even though I do my bit and try to be...

    Sebo Announced Price Increases

    Here in the UK SEBO prices have increased year on year since Covid. Gone are the days you could get an entry level Automatic X series for around £200 you’re looking at over £300 now but when you look at the cording find cordless it’s quite cheap and it will last too. Accessories, bags and...

    Pick your poison: Main equivalency!

    Agree with you. They are one of the very few that don’t follow or copy others they do their own thing. They are a premium German family business.

    Pick your poison: Main equivalency!

    Couldn’t agree more. Two of my favourite attachments on my VK150.

    Pick your poison: Main equivalency!

    Vorwerk to my knowledge have only ever had one model at a time available the upright plus the Tiger canister. As they still do across Europe in home demonstrations but you can buy direct online without having to have that now. The Tiger is still available in some European markets. But for how...

    Pick your poison: Main equivalency!

    Not on the list but I’d go with the cordless Vorwerk Kobold VK7, yes it uses bags but it’s a complete cleaning system so you can mop hard floors and dry clean mattresses and carpets and rugs too. Plenty of tools if you want them for different cleaning tasks. Upright standalone format, modular...

    Vacuum Facts user

    The whole idea of a forum is to openly discuss views, opinions, scientific facts and information that is out there. Or what’s the point. Not everyone is going to agree but there is no need to make members feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. That’s the problem with the internet and social forums...

    Dyson Piston

    He probably is but no one knows for sure. We are all speculating in the most part. Yes we can see certain things have changed and the amount of negative reviews and comments from owners should alert the owners ie James to sort it out and step in. But yes if it’s coming from him then it probably...

    He should and must of known about all this which has been going on for a few years or more now but chooses for whatever reason to ignore it. Which is complete madness!!!! If I had direct contact with him I would tell him.

    Dyson Piston

    From what I’ve read in the past James and his family have no intention of allowing share holders become part of the business and selling it out to share holders. The whole family is involved in the business and making board decisions. His son Jake no doubt will take over as he’s heavily involved...

    Yes there is a live today! No doubt recorded from yesterday launch. Nothing mentioned of the self emptying dok for the V16 as yet from leaked pictures. Sure that will come in time.

    The event tomorrow in Berlin from the teaser videos includes the V16 along with the new Robot that mops new Wash G model, the Pencil Vsc has appeared in some plus what might be a new fan or hair care product! It’s a global launch of multiple products.

    No credit from me I can assure you. They are a hardware company and James Dyson liked it that way but he realised they needed to move into software side as well to expand the business beings everything these days is software focused. Most likely is I’ve not had much experience with it but it...

    Dyson Piston

    Suppose like other technology products they want to be able to update the software/firmware on the machine in the future to improve performance or new options to benefit the user. I suspected they would do this on their vacuum cleaners eventually like they have with the fans. They want to see...

    Dyson Piston

    Yeah 😁 That’s a good point you make there it could be. Maybe if it has a 900 W motor it’ll be used in the next generation model that may launch sooner with the new battery technology so saving on development of a new motor again. But like you say it’s a waste in the V16 as not using its fully...
