new Hoover Insight Commercial

[sebo_fan]

Then, that's probably one reason alone to why SEBO continued to sell the older uprights alongside their current range - such as Windsor's Sensor and Sensor XP/S12 etc.

 

[gsheen]

yes but they upgraded those machines to accept the new dommel motors

 

[sebo_fan]

Ah.. oh well..

Nothing is perfect though = even old Henry vacuums that have been used continually in the commercial field break down. We have a couple of those at the company I work for from time to time. The suffer mostly from the rubberised hoses that break because sharp objects pierce them and some of the old Henry's have burnt out motors, but they're of the metal canister type, way way back from the 1970s.

For using around the workshop and stuff like that those are fantastic vacuums. I only use uprights on the carpet though

Saw the Insight @ VDTA

No lawsuit, folks. Patents have a lifespan. Hoover waited this time. (I guess losing to Airway, and then Dyson was enough)

And Karcher and Windsor are part of the same conglomerate.

And Karcher and Windsor are part of the same conglomerate

Maybe in the U.S and Canada = but in Europe, Karcher are separate from Sebo or Windsor. As for the patents and the Insight, watch this space!

Trebor, what is your take on the Insight?

After seeing it in person? I see the Hoover type SB allergen bags check in at $3 per bag in a 10 pack. & the 13" unit itself is, (currently at one shop anyway) up there in price as well...see link.

Jeezo - am I reading correctly from your link that the sale price is $945?? That's far too expensive. I note that Sebo-vacuums.com (US link website_ state that the original Sebo Essential G/G1 is priced at $599 - same machine, far better made and far more original!

 

[gsheen]

I saw it for $ 470.00 on one of the large commercial cleaning equipment sites

best deal for a new sebo/ windsor clone

& it's a Hoover too! see link, shipping is reasonable, & this is for the wide area model.

The Insight has...

The WINDTUNNEL nozzle design, and a quick-change power cord. Nice machine, in my opinion, but I love Lindhaus!

 

[sebo_fan]

Where does it say that the Dubl-Duty has a windtunnel base foot? It's a Sebo one - only one dust channel on that one!

 

[stricklybojack]

New Hoover Insight Windtunnel based

i believe is what Trebor was refering to @sebo_fan not the Dubl-Duty deal i posted in this thread (as an example of Hoovers earlier effort in this market segment)...& the Dubl-Duty is a great price too. i might make a bit of a low ball offer myself soon on that Ebay Hoover Dubl-Duty deal actually if i can clear out a vac or two on Ebay to possibly justify the expenditure.

 

[trebor]

I have not tested one except at VDTA...

The owner tested one when the rep brought one in, and said he was not impressed, so I would have to see one myself to make a judgement.

 

[gsheen]

Do you know what commercial machines I miss? the old advance carpetwin 14 &16 models , does any one have one of these true beasts

 

[blackheart]

Not quite but close

I have a lindhaus Healthcare pro which is somewhat similar but the RX pro models are just like the carpettwins I did see a RX 380 today at a vac shop in the used area though. http://www.lnt.com/show_product/507893-87/?utm_source=froogle&utm_medium=datafeed&utm_term=507893-87
