Sebo BS 46

Advantages: Small light and quite and it does what it should and suck!!
Disadvantages: Not the cheapest, and having to change the bag when full it's bagless.

...I had the sebo model before this and it was great so when we needed to get an extra this newer smaller model was the best choice. Forget your Dysons' over priced and gadget like Sebo are very well made and do what they are designed to do really well even comes with a five year guantee! The bags are large for the size of the machine and are easy to change. It comes with enough flex to reach most rooms without changing sockets and becuase of it's size and weight easy to do the stairs. Quite and easy controls and attachments all kept neatly on the machine. It also has filters to prevent sending out bad smells into the room. It has that feeling of great build quality which is what you get for the price do not get put off it is worth every penny!... Read review

Advantages: Great on pet hair
Disadvantages: Short hose

...After years of thinking that Dysons were the only vaccum cleaners to own I finally gave up on them & bought this Sebo and I haven't looked back since. Excellent on polypropane carpets if you own animals especially those that shed alot of hair. Easy to use if you are taller than average no bending backs and the bag is still not full after 2 months of daily cleaning after 2 boys, 2 medium dogs & 3 cats. Nice long lead so you dont have to keep unplugging it when you move about the house. The only thing I would suggest is purchasing the extension hose if you have stairs as the one supplied is a little short. I love this vaccum and I would never buy another dyson!! But I would buy another Sebo.... Read review

Advantages: Extremely efficient for all surfaces
Disadvantages: Possibly a little heavy to carry upstairs

...I have had my Sebo X4 for 9months now & it has had regular use. I have in the past had many different vacs including Dyson & I have to say that this is the best ever. It is easy to use, tools are handy with quick transition to using the extension. Suction is powerful & adapts easily to different surfaces. My home has a variety of surfaces, shaggy style carpet, ceramic tiles & both short tufted & woven carpets and this cleaner copes with all surfaces efficiently. The stairs are managed easily with the easy out tube connection. The bags last ages & it's altogether a pleasure to use. My daughter also has this cleaner & she has 2 cats & a dog. This vac has been the best she has had for lifting animal hairs from carpets etc.... Read review
