My new Sebo...

[matt8808]

I remember the days when we had dogs and I had a Miele S5 cat & dog... the bag seemed to be forever full! That was 4.5ltr... hence me not being a big fan of smaller machines.

Sadly we don't have dogs at the moment, the ones we had passed away due to old age and we now have two retarded cats instead so I don't fill bags quite as quickly... But I'd still rather buy a large machine and not have to think about replacing the bag for a couple of months!

The Sebo D I've got will obviously fill bags quite quickly given the ET-1 nozzle picking up so much fluff, but I recon I'll get between 2 and 3 months out of a bag with the machine being used most days.

Yes I think they could have made the E series a 4.5 litre bag then they would have had a small medium and large cylinder cleaner
But I think the E series will replace the K series eventually.
You are used to big having used the Kirby

Thanks matt8808 for answering my question. Great to know the new Eco 700 watt motor is well suited and the performance is ok and there is less heat coming off it. Should make the new 700 watt Felix's well suited to the lower watt motor too then. I don't use my Felix on full 1300 watt power only half to 3/4 power for carpet cleaning and half for tool cleaning. May use full power when bag is nearly full that's the only time.

I agree with you there matt8808 with regards to replacement parts being cheaper and easily replaceable on the SEBO D4 Premium or any SEBO for that matter. I would like a D series and it would be this model as I like the ET-1 power head for carpet cleaning but I do love my Felix. Would like a X series though!

Enjoy your new SEBO.

That is s picture of the new E series on the Germany website. Not sure if it will sit in between the D and K or eventually replace the K series. No official info on it yet but it is a more compact cylinder compared to the D series.

LOL at reply #17 at the miners lamps... The idiots next door to me used to run around with them on minus that they are 2 sandwiches short of a picnic, they used to wear dark clothes & hide in the dark but their stench would always give them away where they were/are.

Gosh my 3.5 lite bag on my Felix last 3 months using it most days to pick up pet hair. Feel like I should be changing it more often or it not picking up very well. 6 litre bag would last me 5 to 6 months at a guess. Saying that I do let it fill until it's totally full and the bag is solid!

 

[marcusprit]

My Felix bag would last 3 months. I think Matt must live in a Palace

 

[madaboutsebo]

Glad you said that Marcusprit I feel my Felix is quite normal now !

 

[marcusprit]

Haha good

An EXCELLENT cleaning "Team" there-the Kirby and the Sebo D4 canister.Use the Kirby for the bulk of the carpet cleaning-then the Sebo for the canister jobs!You may never need to put the hose on the Kirby with Sebo around!Thats the case with me--Sebo,Henry(new acqushon)TriStarCXL,NSS M1 are my main canisters.

 

[marcusprit]

Even better sell the Kirby and just use the Sebo. So much easier

 

[sptyks]

Sorry Marcusprit, nothing outcleans a Kirby on carpets! Not even Sebo.

 

[sebo_fan]

Mm for the price a Kirby would cost me in the UK brand new, I'd rather have a top of the line Miele canister and a SEBO D4. Two for the price of one.

 

[marcusprit]

I'm with you Sebo fan But I'd have the E series when it's available.

 

[marcusprit]

And that miele C3 Complete is £600 they're not gonna sell many of those in the UK at that price specially as the Sebo is nearly half the price! What are Miele thinking?

 

[madaboutsebo]

I'll second that sebo_fan.

Everyone has opinions and views and real life experiences on what is the best at deep cleaning and I respect though, it's down to personal choice at the end of the day on what you feel is the best for you.

Very nice vacuum cleaner. I had one before my felix, but because my house is multi-story and full of corner and such, it was a bit of a lump to manoeuvre, although the performance and build quality was typically SEBO - incredible. Although I had a suction leak near the bag full indicator, it used to whistle badly, form new as well, but that would have been just my one I guess. Same power nozzle as the felix of course, meaning it is one of the best in the business.

What I also love about SEBO's and what makes them the best bagged vacuums in my opinion is the filtration quality and the bags being inexpensive. Also, the suction on this model comes from the top of the bag meaning it should loose very little suction as it fills, that's what I found with my one, although it was the 2,400 model, although the difference shouldn't be a great deal in terms of suction.

Glad you like it my friend !

Nice new purchase - enjoy it Matt!

Cheers for the comments guys

One thing I'm really noticing on this machine is the airbelt. I no longer have to watch where I'm pulling the machine.

Should the machine bump into furniture or walls ect ect it gently bounces off, and due to the soft foamy texture of the belt it does about as much damage as throwing a rolled up sock at a brick wall would.

Also 0 damage or scuffs to the machine as its kinda hard to scuff fabric. However should the airbelt ever start to look tatty its cover is a consumable part thats easily obtained from Sebo

One of my pet hates is scuffed furniture guards

 

[sebo_fan]

The Airbelt is acutually damp cloth washable, so any minor scuffs can usually be wiped off (as I have found).

Bosch copied SEBO on the AirBelt idea with their AirBumper on their Free"e"/BSGL5 series, but only covers the side of the machine and it isn't as effective. Infact on mine, the plastic was inclined to get pretty badly scraped.
