On Sebo. I have come to the conclusion that here at least here in the US they are just overpriced for what they offer. They are durable and dependable yes, but for $1,299 for some D4's you have to bend down to both set carpet height and release the wand from the powerhead,. They also offer no deluxe powerhead with extra features such as foot controlled height adjustment, foot controlled wand release and a headlight. So basically if you get a K3 and that is the size bag that you are OK with, you have no need to upgrade to an E3 or D4 since you will get the same PN with the same manual adjustments, with a longer cord and bigger bag. Whereas Miele and Tacony offer hand controls, headlights on the PN, foot controlled height adjustment and automatic suction for Miele. So if you upgrade with Miele or Tacony you actually get something besides a longer cord and bigger bag.
This is why I am selling my K3. I am however keeping a Felix because I do still think it is a great nimble upright, although I do not think it is not worth the $699 they are charging for it here in the US. If Sebo keeps raising their prices they will have to come up with more features to play with the big boys!
