Hi people, haven't posted on here in Ages because since I offered and sold my old hoover on here, I haven't had much to talk about! Anyway, since a large wash-in, my hoover interest has got bigger, still waiting to get my new one through! Anyway, enough said and lets move onto the topic.

So today at school we got a new Sebo BS46 comfort. The old Sebo BS46 has a fault with the head, the 'check brush' light keeps illuminating 90% of the time it's in use, but it still works. The Sebo was unpacked and put together by my friend who goes to the school and also likes hoovers (working on getting him on here) put it together and as I came down the stairs...he'd put it together. Rats! But I saw it do its first quick run, it hoovered the reception like a dream! We are putting the old Sebo upstairs and the new one down, where the old one was. As I clean after school twice a week, I deliberately opted to clean downstairs, even though I hate cleaning downstairs for an hour and a half, the thought of using a brand new Sebo...I just had to. I would use a Henry for 3 rooms and a bit of the old corridor, then the Sebo (both) for the rest of the corridor and music dept. But apart from the stairs I used it for everything. It is a great performer, it's lighter than the other one by far but they both perform very good. I did take 4 poor quality photos on my phone, after re-looking through them I decided not to post them, but I will bring in my camera on Thursday and take a picture, maybe even video and use it if I'm lucky enough. I prefer the Sebo over the Henrys simply because ALL the Henry hoovers have the Airo Brush head on them, and they are forever getting broken with long stringy hair and the fact people slam their guitars and equipment on them/into them, means they're going to break easy! But the Sebo doesn't clog, doesn't break and the wheels certainly don't snap off and roll to the other end of the room!

Enough said, I'm getting distracted by the fireworks outside now, and I've typed all I can type now, so I'll see what I can do pic wise, a pic of the old and a pic of the new, possible video of the new one is likely but there's a slim chance of the old one being filmed.

I will link you to the product page below...so you can see the specs and what it looks like, but I'm not certain that the old one is a BS46...I think it is...will check tomorrow.

Chris.

it would be an insult to Hoover to call it that name

Hoover were so far behind, they wouldn't even know what a Sebo was, let alone how much BETTER it is. All you'd get is blank faces from people still thinking disposable paper bags were high tech.
 
Alex, one day, I swear, me and Chris will buy you a Sebo D4.

That Sebo looks like the American Hoover Dubl-Duty

Actually, it's the other way around - the Hoover is a copy of the Sebo. That design of Sebo has been in use since 1986 with slight modifications made in 1991.

Joe,I'll be buying myself a D4 before I buy Alex one :P
 
Did you say you were talking about models from 20 years ago? No? I don't see that in your original reply. Sorry I don't have a crystal ball on here with me, either.

Whatever Hoover has made, it is no way the same as a SEBO upright. For starters, I can't remember the last time I saw a department store or a hotel chain using a Hoover commercial upright.

And. if you are referring to Hoover models, 20 years ago, please inform me as to what model you think is better than the SEBO in 1993 - since that is effectively, 20 years ago from this year...
 
inform me as to what model you think is better

Now, Ryan, what did you have to go and ask a silly question like that for. You know what the answer is.
