SEBO returns to Argos

The DC24 was noisy but the DC41 Mk11 is a lot quieter. Very similar noise to the Felix.I wasn't keen on the K1 I think the new E series will be an improvement.

The DC41 mk2 is quieter than a DC24? Wow! Impressive considering the DC24 has a 650w motor in a compact machine, in comparison to the full size DC41 which is like the best performing Dyson

I find it a lot quieter than previous Dysons. I have a Sebo Felix which is quieter than most and the DC41 Mk11 is only a tiny bit louder. Hardly noticeable.

The DC41 Mk11 has a 700w motor. Anyway maybe you should try it and then you can comment

That sounds very good! Thanks XD am so tempted

I'm going to Currys in Purley Way, Croydon on Saturday. Will try out a DC41 mk2 and a DC40 2015 to compare noise levels.

The DC50 seems to be noisier than the DC24 only by a bit.

Sebo controls and machine details etc.

Like mostly everything SEBO design, it requires the owner to get to know the vacuum in question rather than just rely on the controls or what you've done before.

I never bothered about the way the suction control dial on the K moved but SEBO were crafty in adding that small to enlarged plastic concave acting as the low to high suction indicator.

You can always tell a private company though in the way they design things - the K3 has a fixed control dial since the suction control is on the handle due to the electric hose - but the company haven't made the K3 or the K3 Vulcano a unique design in terms of that concave being removed.

A cost cutting idea maybe but some owners would probably feel they haven't had such a unique machine with the permanent concave set into the plastic for the higher cost prices.

Im not one for fancy dials and LED lights. If a machine has a running light or a bag fill light, then that's all I really like. I've had vacuums before with LED lights showing the suction strength but they soon break in long term ownership.

Another thing that teaches me differently over other vacuums is that SEBO filters for the most part can only be fitted one way. Same with the dust bags. Ever so simple, ever so reliable.

There seems to be a conflict in info regarding the SEBO E Airbelt - I was told by a rep that the machine would be using the K series bags and filters.

However, I have just had a confirmation from SEBO UK that the new E series will have its OWN bags and filters. Hurray!

Excellent. Because the D series was an award winning design I think it will be similar just a more compact version.
