Thanks!
Tommy,
Thanks for the pictures. Those machines are so cool! Interesting how the earlier Sebo and Karcher versions (the red one and the yellow one) have a "Lindhaus-style" neck where the nozzle attaches to the body--in later models they added that little arm and made it wider--maybe they were having problems with stability or breakage? Some things haven't changed much at all, though, including the power switch, the metal handle on front, the hose and the way it hooks in, and the metal loop on the base that keeps the machine upright. Those are very well-made vacuums.
I bet you've probably seen some interesting Lindhaus machines, too, being in Italy--I don't remember when they were first brought to market in the United States, but they do use them to clean the White House and Pentagon now. I seem to like them even more now, they seem to me a bit quieter than Sebo.
Thanks again for the photos, you have quite the collection.
PS-Love the OPEL in the garage!

Hi Travis, yes they were very cool and I have to say that SEBO was the real innovator in commercial-professional upright cleaning for large surfaces...these vacs have all he features that in fact set a new standard. large powernozzles with easy to replace brush strip, low noise, good suction, good filtration(better than any other upright cleaner at that time)and the first models could be also used as barefloor cleaners: there was a surface nozzle which could be connected in place of the power nozzle. The later version had a stiffer connection, but for long time both version were produced; early models didn't feature carpet height adjustment in the narrower version also, introduced as a standard on the later models.
I know Lindhaus very well because my mother is from padua, where the factory is, and I know many people who work there and I had the opportunity to know Mr Massaro, the owner and director of Lindhaus.
But they came later.I don't like them as much as Sebos, though they are VERY good in terms of material quality and overall quality.
their range is really wide and through the years they had their uprights sold olso by private labels like TASKI, NILFISK-ADVANCE and HAKO, and others. I own one of the earlies lindhaus for household use, and it was incredible because they had used a BY-PASS motor on the earliest series,so the air vacuumed in, was expelled separate from the air cooling the motor, which had a different passge. Butthey were a little bit noisy.Lindhaus introduced the a new motor, flow through, which is in use also today, allowing the modification of the motor hood for Hepa filtration feature.
Another interesting thing of lindhaus in that they feature a xtra wide powernozzle, model RX 50, that I tried and felt a little bit inconvenient because of the position of the upright unit on the very wide pn.
I really prefer T shaped pns;-)

I just got a commercial Eureka bagged vacuum with "True HEPA" sealed final filtration. It's basically the same as the Sanitaire bagged/HEPA vacuums. This general design always gets ery good reviews in Consumer Reports. The final HEPA filter keeps the air in the room clean. The vacuum itself is relatively light (lighter than most cyclone vacs), and does a very good job on both carpets and hard floors.
Price is around $200, sometimes less.
There's another thread about this vac - Eureka C5712.

Miele has the best filter
I am not a fan of my Miele S7 but it is clearly the best filter of all. I put the Vorwerk fragrance gadget in my Sebo Felix and Miele. The Miele s7 filter is so good you cannot even smell it. The Sebo Felix you can which is nice. Miele S7 filter is amazing

Dyson has great what?
Sorry but no Dyson compare to Miele in any way accept for on cost. Just go to YouTube and search Miele vs Dyson. In fact Dyson has such a poor brush they do not clean well either. No vacuum shop owner will tell you Dyson is a food vacuum, what they will tell you is, Dyson helps pay the rent because they are always needing repairs because they are cheaply made.
Anyone with Asthma or any other lung condition should not go bag-less. Emptying those containers is messy and unhealthy to breath.

Aerus/Electrolux upright (post-1986) They have two motors (one for suction & the other for brush) use a 4-ply bag & come with SideKick power brush. Some have onboard tools and/or HEPA filtration; & all Lux uprights U can turn the brush on/off for vacing various floor coverings.[this post was last edited: 7/13/2013-18:01]
