New SEBO 300/350/400 Evolution

[madaboutsebo]

Just looking at the SEBO Germany website a stumbled across this new SEBO model. I was quite surprised to see this! Looks very good, wonder if the UK will have this model for the commercial sector?

SEBO have launch the new 300/350/400 Evolution Commercial Upright at the ISSA Interclean in Amsterdam for the first time.

Looking at the new vacuum cleaner it looks like an evolution (excuse the pun!) of the other comfort models with the filtration setup of the X Series as the name suggests. It has 3 cleaning widths (30, 36 and 46cm) and manual height and looks like a brush bar on and off switch on the side, 1100 watt motor (to comply with new EU directive as the website says!) and a single motor! Also has a detachable main cord like the D Professional Series model, for tool free quick change.

Wonder if this is a hint to a new evolution of the X Series in the future!?

I think that orange on/off could be the power switch and not brush bar on/off looking at the website again, not sure!

LOL you beat me to it! I was just looking at the site there!

It has a little more than that though.

 

[madaboutsebo]

Sorry LOL! It's only by chance I went to look at the website I came across it! I wondered if to post a thread then I thought someone might see it and post one before me!

It sure does.

What's your first thoughts on it sebo_fan?

Oh don't apologise! No need to at all. Unlike some members I don't get all bolshy when someone brings news to the table - also Jon - are you on Facebook?

It is good to know about SEBO news from others.

I like the design SEBO have done here, but it looks like they have played it safe and stuck wisely to the generic design of their commercial uprights. It could well be the blueprint for X series models in the future, with only a few differences.

 

[madaboutsebo]

Thanks. I am on Facebook.

It's nice to see a few SEBO Fans on here too.

They certainly have played safe in the generic design but if not broken don't fix it as they say! I was thinking that about future X Series models.

Whats your thoughts on that orange switch on the side? Is it brush bar on/off or power on/off it's got me guessing. I first though brush roll on/off but now I'm thinking its the power switch!? It's nice to see they have used the X series pre motor filter, as the other commercial models don't use this if I'm correct!?

IM not sure about that orange pedal. It would make sense to have it as a kick-off brush roll stop on/off. We've not been given a view of the back, so it could still be a pedal release.

With regards to the filter the BS36/46 uses the C/K filter cartridge, so it is good to see SEBO finally streamlining cheaper filters with this new Evolution model.

 

[madaboutsebo]

Same here, could be either. I thought it was a brush roll on/off switch due to where it was and the writing ON/OFF near the brush roll check light. True no back pictures as yet. Mind you it does say single motor which then made me change my mind!

I did wonder what filters the BS36/46 used, now I know. Yes it is makes sense. Take it the bags are the same as the BS36/46 do you think?

 

[sebo_fan]

I have just sent you an email. Can't seem to find you on FB though.

 

[sebo_fan]

Yes, it appears to take the same 5 litre dust bags as the BS36/46 - that range as a 10 metre cable - this new one appears to have 12m/13m.

Given the design of the cleaner and how it all slots together, I have always wondered why the Sebo cleaners never had a foot switch. And yet I cannot get my breath as to where it's been sited. What's the betting that it will get caught on furniture and skirtings, turning the cleaner off in the process?

 

[madaboutsebo]

Ok thanks I will just check my email. I must be well hidden on their then!

Thats good using the same bags keeps costs down. More cable length helps reach further less plug changing.

I really hope Sebo update the aged looking X series machines. Nice to see Sebo have launched some new commercial machines.

 

[madaboutsebo]

Thanks for email sebo_fan.

 

[madaboutsebo]

I'm sure this is the blueprint for a new X Series in the future blakaeg. Only time will tell.

 

[sebo_fan]

I think SEBO will update the X series, or perhaps launch an Evolution X series. Makes sense though that they have chosen to launch a commercial vacuum first due to the last model being the domestic D series before the commercial version appeared.

Don't forget though it could well be an "answer" to the copied Hoover Insight/Profile model.

Cable

Are they measuring that from the point where it plugs into the cleaner though? If so, you can discount at least a meter for allowing it to be hooked up to handle height.

 

[sebo_fan]

And where do you measure it when the vacuum is designed go flat, Benny?

 

[vintagerepairer]

I always measure from the first point where the cable is attached rigidly to the cleaner for normal upright use.
