Thought I'd come out from the shadows and make a little thread showing my latest daily drivers LOL
FYI I think the last time I posted on here I had two Kirby Avalir's as my daily drivers. While I loved the quality of these machines I ultimately found them a bit too big and awkward for our UK home... So I sold both machines on eBay and the money I made pretty much paid for my first two Sebo machines
So I bought the X7 Excel and E1 Excel 6 months ago from John Lewis.
Both machines are exclusive to John Lewis being the Excel versions.
Nothing overwhelmingly different about them - The X7 has the headlight, stair hose and dusting brush over the base version.
The E1 came with the new style turbo brush and a dusting brush that clips on to the metal wand for storage.
I chose these models mostly because they are both exclusive machines and also because of the colour. They both match in white and I also prefer the white colour over the darker colours as it is more forgiving in terms of hiding any scuff marks etc.
IIRC The X7 Excel and the X7 Pet were pretty much the same price at the time - I'd of gotten the Boost button with the Pet version but the gloss black colour put me off as I knew it would be a nightmare to keep looking box fresh.
Fast forward 6 months - both machines are still my daily drivers and I'm very happy with them. But I had my eye on another Sebo machine. Limited Edition - 25% of the sale price goes to a cancer charity - and it is white too so it matches my other Sebo machines nicely!
So I now have the Felix Rose as an upstairs vac, the X7 as a downstairs vac and the E1 is used on bigger cleans throughout the whole house when I want to get under and behind furniture etc.
I added the extra straight suction nozzle to the E1 as I wasn't too keen on the hard floor performance of Sebo's unusual style 'Kombi' nozzle that came supplied with the machine.
Loving the build quality and performance of these machines and can see them remaining as my daily drivers for quite some time to come!
