NEW SEBO WEBSITE UPDATE

[turbo500]

Better build quality, please, there is hardly a difference i

Ever seen a Sebo with a split bagged door? The T2, 3 and 1000 were a nightmare for the door splitting inwards. Also the poor, narrow designs of the internal air ducts mean that they're also prone to blockages. Again, something that was addressed on Sebo cleaners. As for your comments about the auto height adjuster, I've never had a problem with mine. Apart from the initial few seconds when it's adjusting, it remains in constant contact with all my floor types, including a rather uneven, low pile carpet on my landing.

I have to say Chris I've never seen a TP2/3/1000 in my LIFE with a cracked bag door.

Yes, it does happen, but only if it is used repeatedly with a full bag, which is rare as the bag full light comes on before damage to the door could occur.

was just looking at your impressive colllection list on your profile Sebofan - wow

turbopower 2 all the way

i have the felix royale and i loved it when i first got it, but now eughh for a start no dusting brush, and the hose hardly even stretches and it always falls over when im using the tools, the bags are tiny and fill up quickly and it is heavy to use, and the height ajustment hardly moves the head, also its like an industrial room heater, yes it has good suction and average performance and amazing filteration, but i dont find myself sneezing after use of the turbopower 2 and i have allergies

I have heard of the bag door splitting but I have NEVER seen a turbopower 2 with a split bag door before, mine however has a stress line in the lower center part of the bag door, when you cover the hose a slight line of stress shows up, but I have inspected it and doesn't look like it will break, but we'll see.
Over all though you have to agree that the quality isn't terribly different, it is british made and it is Hoover......

Turbopower 2 in the U.S??


 


For a start they don't come with a HEPA filter, so how it can filter out allergens is beyond me. I had a few of these, so I know. The highest filter they sported was a microfilter with a black carbon filter underneath to protect the motor.


 


As for the Felix, the fan runs high if you constantly put it to the highest setting - but it doesn't require it - but I find it was much quieter than the older 1000 watt TP2 U2464 Autosense in its highest cleaning mode. I am surprised that you found the manual adjuster to be of no use - I find it handles so easily on the fourth and third setting and always picks up first time. Unlike the TP2/3 series, the Felix feels a lot lighter to push. It is also marketed as a small to medium home vacuum, hence the 3.5 litre dust bag and the short 3 metre hose - if you want bigger you'd have to buy the X series and the user manual does suggest that you hold onto the vacuum when using the hose to avoid it falling over. The Felix bag capacity versus the TP2/3 is 2 litres smaller - so no wonder you felt that the bags were small.


 


Also, the reason why no dusting brush comes with it as standard is simply because it was designed to be used with just the two tools you do get and you can buy the optional dust brush if you really require it. I wish I could say that my TP2's didn't fall over when the hose was used, but they did - so the Felix and the TP2 is really no different where hose trips are concerned despite the hose on the Hoover models being longer. 


 


Again though, its comparing a vacuum built in the middle of the 1990s to a vacuum that was launched in 2005. The TP2 doesn't have the possibility of changing floor heads or the fact that it can be used with a shoulder strap as a hand held. Thus, it isn't really fair to compare a conventional upright vacuum that has one use compared to the Felix which offers versatile cleaning uses - and other optional floor heads - or for the very fact that it has a auto stop brush stop button, a brush roll stop incase anything gets stuck and to top it all off, a swivel built in to get around corners. 


 


You wouldn't compare a vintage Hoover to a Vorwerk stick with a PN -  but that's exactly what the Felix's main rival is.

Firstly Ryan, "thekirbyfan" isn't actually in Hollywood, he's in England I believe.

Secondly, a 3 metre flex on a Sebo!?

Are you sure ?

I don't know why ANYBODY would buy something these days that has a flex HALF the length of my Hoover Senior's, which is just on the line of being too short.

No, if that is correct, I shall never be buying one of those, that is ridiculous.

 

[jmurray01]

Ah, I apologise, upon reading for a second time you said 3 metre HOSE.

Sorry about that.

 

[richardlee1985]

I really like the new SEBO Germany website. Nice to see an arial photo of the factory. The factory looks so much bigger than when i visited in 2003.

 

[sebo_fan]

See how quick you judge a post when you've misread it and then put an opinion that antagonises people?


 


The Felix and X comes with a 9.5 metre length cord and 12 metres on each - quite frankly far more than your Senior can ever hope to have unless you have gone to the bother of fitting a longer cord yourself. Also, don't you have to go to the bother of looking the fitting out and then fitting the pan convertor and associated hose to the Senior each time you want to clean with it? Nah, I like everything on board. Far quicker and less bulk.


 


 

 

[jmurray01]

"Nah, I like everything on board. Far quicker and less bulk." So do I, which is why a Turbopower 2 is my daily cleaner.

I did apologise for my mistake, we are not machines like our Vacuum Cleaners Ryan, we are humans who make mistakes. For that I cannot apologise, nobody can.

 

[sebo_fan]

Yes that was in reference to the Henry vacuum AND the Senior you commented on. Don't try and add another model to save your grace.

 

[jmurray01]

What, like my... Electrolux 502S ?

 

[turbo500]

OH FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, WILL YOU BOTH GIVE IT UP!!!!!!

 

[jmurray01]

OK, Chris, I think Ryan now knows that any Sebo is nothing compared to a Hoover Senior now anyway, so that is finished

(That was sarcasm by the way).

 

[turbo500]

Jamie, what I am about to say, I say with love, compassion and the spirit of true brotherhood....


 


 


SHUT THE HELL UP. 


 


You both obviously rattle eachother's cages and you are doing yourself no favours by mouthing off. Give it a rest!

 

[borusa]

Well said Chris (said with with love, compassion and the spirit of true brotherhood as well) I think just agree to disagree

 

[turbo500]

I think just agree to disagree

Completely. The rest of us seem to get on fine, despite differing opinions, therefore WHY is it so impossible for there to be some sort of middle ground here? 


 


 

 

[jmurray01]

Of course there is a middle ground; lawn mowers.

No wait, I'm getting confused again...

 

[sebo_fan]

The problem with Jamie is he thinks he knows it all. Yet how can one know it all at just 17 years of age?
