Some very interesting points Emma, great video!
I agree about the wand. I have an additional extension tube for mine that I put straight onto the end of the hose cuff. It doesn't have the chunky handle on the end of it, so it's much easier to use. When I'm doing the stairs or the sofa, I use the tools straight onto the end of cuff. The one thing I do like about the wand is that it's handy for quick pick ups. For example, when you're vacuuming the carpet and you see some crumbs under something or in a corner, you can whip the wand out quickly, without even putting the vacuum upright, and get into tight spaces.
I also agree about the hose, I do wish Sebo would add a full stair stretch hose, so there'd be no need for the extension hose, but at least the option is there for the extension hose.
Personally, I'd like to see Sebo introduce an entry model with manual height adjustment, the basic tools and hose and then have the Automatic machines as the higher end, with a stretch hose onboard and additional tools.
