Yeah that's not him

My John Gregory sells the Hoover improved version of the Sebo the Hoover Insight and Profile .

[marcusprit]

Well I can't comment on the Hoover as I've not used it and Nar will tell me off
and say I'm as much use as a fart in a bag

But if it has improved on the Sebo it must be one awesome VAC!

 

[kirbyloverdan]

It is an

Awesome vacuum I never liked Sebo but I LOVE this vacuum plus it has Windtunnel technology it picks up so much more than a Sebo .

Dan

 

[marcusprit]

Cool. When was the Profile introduced over there?

 

[sebo_fan]

Marcus, Check previous thread http://www.vacuumland.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?17076

It isn't a model that Im keen on. NOT only because it copies SEBO but the excuse that it apparently took Hoover "several years" to come up with something "new" that clearly wasn't.

Despite what Dan may say, only a few online reviews for the Hoover Insight/Profile exist and most reveal the models aren't that well built compared to SEBO.

Also check http://www.vacuumland.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?21673 which gives photos.

 

[marcusprit]

No i doubt they are as well built as Sebo. Performance wise i can't comment but it is clearly a Sebo copy which is a bit naughty. But it wouldn't be the first time a design has been copied.

 

[marcusprit]

Btw the Hoover Insight has a Bronze award by the CRI which is the same as the Sebo X series so it seems it has the same performance but the Sebo has better build quality and a longer warranty.

 

[sebo_fan]

Well you can see how "'good" the plastic quality is on the Profile's side profile.


Bear in mind Marcus, warranties differ per country and for the commercial market you're lucky if you get 1 or 2 years.

 

[marcusprit]

Oh yes Sebo BS Comfort i think has a 1 year warranty so the Hoover Insight has a 2 year warranty even though the Sebo is built better.

Is the warranty on a G1 one year also?

 

[kirbyloverdan]

That's quite all right

You love your Sebo I detest that brand I love my Hoover insight you do not have to like the insight .

That's why we have many brands and that's why Sebo will never be part of my collection.

Dan

 

[marcusprit]

Strange how you detest Sebo Dan but love an exact copy of Sebo G1 which has the same performance

Well not an exact copy it's a poorer built G1

 

[kirbyloverdan]

That's my God

Given right Mark I LOVE the Hoover insight ...

Dan

 

[marcusprit]

Personally I'd prefer the original Sebo not a Hoover copy. But as you say each to their own.

It's a shame really a company such as Hoover with it's long history has to copy another brand. I'd expect better.

 

[kirbyloverdan]

That's Hoovers

Right also ...

Dan

 

[marcusprit]

Btw i don't detest Kirby i think they make an excellent Vac wish they would make a 12' nozzle for people who don't need a 15' nozzle in a smaller home.

They don't have to change the cleaner, just offer a smaller nozzle. That would be good.

I don't detest Hoover either, they've made some very nice Vacs over the years.

 

[kirbyloverdan]

That's good Mark

But as I said before that's my God given right and that's my personal opinion .

I guess I can say I like the G1 but the Automatic version is the one I can say I detest I have yet to buy a Felix but I hear they are better than all Sebos

NOTHING out cleans my true LOVE the KIRBY well maybe another love of mine the Tacony tandem air vacuums
