Does look nice though. I prefer the electric turbo brush head. I think I have enough vacs at moment and other half would have kittens, lol.

 

[marcusprit]

Haha I know that feeling

Nar just had a reply from Sebo UK confirming the E3 Premium has a 700w motor. So it seems there is a mix up somewhere.

We do not currently have brochures available on the machines at present but I have attached a PDF spec sheet for the E series along with RRP prices. The new E series is the lightest cylinder vacuum available from SEBO yet, at only 5.2kg and the small footprint allows for easy cleaning on stairs and around furniture. The E3 Premium has a 700 watt motor to comply with EU regulations however, the motorised brush head contains a 175 watt motor which drives the stiff bristles deep into the carpet pile to agitate and remove deep down dirt and debris and the brush roller can deactivated for delicate rugs and hard floors. There is also an additional Kombi Head in the box to give you the option of choosing the attachment head suited to your needs, say if circumstances change in the future if you change floor coverings.

To be fair SEBO aren't alone. Miele have done the same with some of their "Powerline" models; all having 1200 watts against the 800 watts they've added to eco versions. All in the name of making some money I guess.

Ty Paul and Marcus...

Yes it would appear that it is a misprint. The director has emailed me with an apology as well as thanking me for highlighting the error on the site.

The K1 700 also weighs 5.2kg lol though. And SEBO are only quoting what the main body weighs, not with the steel pipes and floor head added. But then Miele also do this.

 

[marcusprit]

Still 700w is more than enough power especially with a PN.

I might get one in the next few months

Great review and your videos are good. This model looks really rather beautiful. Looks like they have improved on certain designs, which is good.

SEBO's are pretty much perfect.

Loving the new E series. New updated UK website for SEBO is very stylish, loving the new look.

SEBO's are pretty much perfect agree with you there oliveoiltinfoil.

They are innovative, much the same as dyson. Thinking of ways to make cleaning that bit easier. Its in the detail which is really impressive. At least they don't churn out the same model and only change say for example the colour of the bags or try to skimp a few "pennies" making the handle out of less metal lol.

Received an email back from SEBO UK. The E1 Premium does have a 700 watt motor but it also has a unique tapered hose that increases suction by 20%, so you get a bit more with that model than the non-tapered hoses on the other models.

Oh my goodness! The new SEBO UK website is beautiful ! I was only thinking the other day that the SEBO UK website needs to look more modern, more akin to the German site. Those crafty mind-reading Deutsch's

SEBO in Germany have just released another new E3 Premium - the Premium 1200. Perhaps it may well make its appearance soon in the UK. Also there's a new E1 Sapphire in dark blue.

sebo e series

Looking at the prices for the e series, I think I would still go with the D series instead. The D series has a longer cord and the dust bag is larger. I really like my Sebo airbelt D1

e series

Apparently Sebo intends for the E series to eventually replace the K series of canisters, that makes sense, those two series are actually similar in a lot of ways.
