I took the chance and got me my first sebo canister! I'll post pictures below. I already posted prior about considering buying it and decided that if the seller was willing to let it go for 180$, I'd make the trip to buy her. I got all the attachments, even the barefloor brush with it! It's very quiet and refined, which is a big change from the zero G that I was sent. I saved 600$ buying it gently used. I'm going to buy a filter-box for it just to change them out. The seller used car polish on it (which is fine I guess) but now it smells like armour all when I turn it on.

Pros: well built; good airflow; quiet!; Fingertip controls; long cord; usable long hose; essentially a full size canister.

Cons: questionable grooming...

The ET-1 powerhead is raved by so many, but it's just NOT A GOOD GROOMER.. and I'm disappointed by that. I used it on a cheap medium pile carpet and it doesn't make some decent carpet lines, but on a thicker pile or a loop style carpet, it doesn't groom for beans. I'm happy to see that I'm not the only one who feels this way about it. After posting my initial video of using it for the first time ever on carpets, I was surprised to see others express the same. It's definitely cleaning, it's just not taking care of the pile depending on your type of carpet. Is it durable? Yes! Is it reliable? Absolutely. But I also still see Chevy cavaliers on the roads today with no mechanical issues if you know what I mean. It's a decent cleaner, but I feel it's lacking due to the ET-1, it's capabilities are average.

Nice

That's a very lightly used vacuum. Um glad you were able to get it. I like the color scheme.

I am very surprised that it doesn't work for you.
ET1 is my ultimate favorite. It even grooms better than my Kirby G6 with oblique stiff brushroll.
I think it's your carpet that doesn't work with it.
But I guess it's not for everyone.
