My new Seabo E3 premium

[dys0nb0y]

So I thought I'll give this new Sebo a try and my first thoughts is this is honestly fantastic is a few things I find annoying and for the price I wish it had some certain things, but I'm not sure if this is A keeper but ,still thinking about it but I'm certainly happy with his performance it literally pours itself across the floor and this and the Dyson big ball and you've got the perfect pair I will upload loads of pictures.

A piece of plastic was a bit sharp and actually cut me a Little bit

 

[dys0nb0y]

I was Disappointed it didn't come with a dusting brush as our use them the most

 

[dys0nb0y]

And it leaves lovely lines in my thick rug.

For a top of the line model, you would have thought Sebo would provide the dusting brush.

Did it come with a hard floor cleaning head?

Loving the striped air belt.

Is some pics of the vacuum

Roger.

I would've thought it would've come with a dusting brush as well, as is it something I use quite a lot. And the stripes are really nice it goes really well with the white.

 

[dys0nb0y]

Also it glides really well it just follows you.

 

[sensotronic]

I love my D4 Premium, but it's a bit of a beast.

I will certainly be getting an E3 Premium when funds allow as it looks a lot more nimble and easy to use.

 

[dys0nb0y]

Roger is really lightweight to use and to pick up ,and The size is perfect.

A lovely looking vacuum, one of my teachers is thinking of getting one, I hope he does!

 

[oliveoiltinfoil]

It really is a lovely vacuum and very good looking. Curved design really is a nice change rather than the typical boxy look most cylinders look like these days. It is tight that SEBO do not supply dusting brush, although nothing is perfect, not even a SEBO :3

Do you prefer it to your dyson ? I know I prefer my felix over the dyson, although the dc41 mk2 is excellent, the SEBO is a greater all rounder and I prefer it being bagged.

Lovely SEBO E3 Premium you have there. Love the shape of the machine. I'm not a fan of using a cylinder vacuum in general but I do love SEBO cylinders. I would like to own one at some point.

 

[blakaeg]

Lovely looking machine

I really like the look of that machine. I don't tend to go for cylinders but that little body and motorised brush head looks like a great combination. Have the same head on my Felix and it's fantastic. It really glides and grooms the carpet.

Thank you for sharing your pictures. I love Sebo's reliability and no nonsense design.

I opened it up and about and some of the inside is made out of strange material I think it's from bike helmets.

Congratulations on the new E3 Premium purchase! It seems to suit your home very well.

Ive often been puzzled for years as to why SEBO don't list the dust brush as a standard cleaning tool. Its the same with the X series, Felix and K's.

But then it seems to be a German tradition with Bosch who also don't include dusting brushes as standard equipment and only put brushes on with "certain models."

To be honest though I've learnt to use SEBO's without dusting brushes for many years. Then, when I got the D series, I was rewarded with a dusting brush as part of its standard kit lol.

The E series certainly does feel like it is following you but it is so effortless to pull behind me. Better than the K series and the new Airbelt design is a heck of lot easier to take off than the old design.

Nice..... But.....

Well after seeing the pics i'm still debating ...
There looks to be a couple of improvements over my K3 Premium but in all honesty I think I will be sticking with it.
The dusting brush omission is strange but at just over a tenner including the clamp not a major issue.
I see it comes with the standard Combi tool as opposed to the Deluxe version of the K3.
I would think the performance is pretty much identical- so pretty good .
Hmm- I have been offered one for £295...

[sebo_fan]

The Combi floor tool that comes with the E3 is the same as the "Deluxe Kombi." It has been renamed and has those side partitions on the suction channel which can be removed, if the owner feels necessary. The side bits were put there to conform to the EU tests for suction on carpets and hard floors.

£295 sounds like a good deal though, Seamus. As you say though, since you presently own the K3 model its questionable on whether you want the newer model, or require it.

 

[sensotronic]

I have decided to get a K3 Premium first as I agree with Seamus that there shouldn't be any noticeable difference in the performance between the two. Yes, the E3 looks more modern, but I want a K3 before Sebo discontinue them and I can get one for around £220 which is good value.

I had the 1800 watt K3 Premium a few years ago, but sold it when I needed some extra cash, though I always intended to replace it, as I liked the combination of a compact vacuum with a power head.
In the meantime, I may get one of the lower end straight suction E models.

 

[seamusuk]

Decided....

Hey Guys
Having just seen an E1 in the plastic so to speak in a Euronics dealer in Hastings its bulkier particularly in height than the K so I don't think I'm going to rush. Roger the K3 seems to have gone from both the Co-op website and their Ebay shop if that's where you were looking.

Mostly the advantages to the E series is that it is no longer fitted with the auto cord pull pull rewind. Also the straight T tool can be used on the handle or tubes without crevice. It is also a great deal quieter and glides a lot better due its more flush generic shape. Of course you can forgo all of that if the K3s are used primarily with the ET1 all of the time even if the E series offers 0.5 litres more on the easier to fit dust bag.

Im toying with the purchase of the 1200 watt model next. The added power means it may become a rarer model in time if the 900 watts law is followed in 2017. But then Im also very happy with the Miele S8 1200 watt I have.

 

[dys0nb0y]

sorry for the late reply but I really like this vacuum I'm so glad I gave sebo I try because this is my favourite bagged cylinder vacuum,I find it really easy to use even though it's got a powerhead I find it really easy to push it's just really easy to use and it's so quiet and is got very good airflow it spins a dyson turbo brush very fast if,if this cleans anything like felix I'll definitely give one a try, I'll certainly be happy to have one of those in my house but I still like dyson I still prefer bagless specially the kinetic and I do prefer the build quality of the dyson but the build quality on the sebo is fantastic but I do wish the bags were bigger because i actually filled up in 2 to 3 days but I didn't vacuum for a few days and haven't got my dyson so I have been using one of my old vacuums from the loft before I got this.this one I'm not gonna keep but it is my birthday soon I want to get one of these for my birthday but get extras like the dusting brush and the mini turbo brush the perfect set,and my friend really likes is well.I gotta say I really like sebo.



I know probably a bit of this is miss spelt but I did this in a bit of a rush so haven't got time to go for all of it.

 

[dys0nb0y]

and it's good to get other brands a try you can be surprised, I was

 

[oliveoiltinfoil]

I wouldn't get too excited about your SEBO, as vacuum experts on this site claim your "plasticvac" is disposable like a tube of toothpaste and simply inferior in everyway to superior metal built royals and kirbys. I mean I use my Felix and every time I use it I just think oh gosh this is going to go bang soon because you know, SEBO's are so poorly made aren't they because they are not made of METAL!

 

[sebo_fan]

Well. there's always something called a difference of opinion, Oli.

Whilst there will always be stalwart members who adore metal vacuums, a lot on here also love Miele vacs. IMHO most if not all SEBO vacuums are better built. Whether or not they agree is just an opinion, but even this new K1 has better plastics than my Miele S8!

I totally agree with Nar on that sentence! 


 


Why is it that those in the minority of us that own and love their metal vacs like Kirby and Royal get totally trounced upon if we should, Heaven Forbid, create a post that in any way compares our experience with our metal vacuum to their plastic vacuums? Do suppose there is some jealousy involved on their part. That's what it seems like to me.


 


 

 

[sptyks]

Hear's something else that "Grinds my Gears"


 


We always hear over and over from those who own plastic vacs tell us how heavy a Kirby is to move and maneuver. I can truthfully say that my 11.5 pound plastic Hoover WindTunnel Air is much harder to push and pull than my 23 pound Kirby Sentria which glides almost effortlessly across the carpet due to it's Tech Drive.


 


So my rant is over. For now.

 

[sebo_fan]

American Vs European

Well it seems to me that unless its a brand made in the U.S, nothing else gets a look in. When guests and non-members come on here looking for a vacuum cleaner, its a constant push to Kirby the brand or anything else American. This patriotic push can only go so far.

Oh don't cut us down if we should ever advise on something made in China!!

However, I must point out Stan, that in previous posts on here, even in Dyson threads, there's always ONE or TWO U.S members who constantly interrupt the topic with how wonderful their METAL vacuums are.

Perhaps then that is one reason alone to why you may feel your choice of brand/type of vacuum is being quashed.
