I have owned this vacuum cleaner for a few years now and have found it to be excellent overall.
It picks up everything, although doesn't give that "groomed" look to carpets that many cleaners do. This leaves you feeling that it hasn't cleaned as well as it should, but I've never noticed anything missed.
The cleaner is light enough and follows you round with a gentle tug on the hose (oo-er missus!). Tools are stowed away under a flap so are always at hand. Changing a bag is very, very simple and efficient and doesn't result in a puff of dust flying out. The design is excellent - functional rather than stylish, but who leaves their vacuum cleaner out on show unless they have to?
The steel tube is telescopic, allowing the cleaner to be stowed away in quite small spaces.
The cleaner isn't particularly noisy either, which is a further bonus.
Sebo sell their cleaners on the basis of their filtration ability. Since I don't live in a science laboratory, I can't prove this in an objective manner. But I can say, as someone who is sensitive to dust and sneezes far more than the average guy, I don't have any problems at home. The cleaner seems to live up to its promises on that front.
It does the job with no fuss. It shows no signs of breaking. What more do you want from a vacuum cleaner? If you want to look at all your dead skin and dog hairs, by all means get a Dyson ;-). But if a cleaner is something you use then stow away, I recommend the Sebo.
a good review, but a bit more detail is needed - prices? availability? Sebo make very good vacuum cleaners, and you will find that German brands such as Sebo, Bosch and Miele are very robust and relaible. any questions on vacuums in general? Just leave a message in my guestbook.
