I have had my Sebo now in excess of five years. I was going to buy a dyson but tried a neighbours and found it not very satisfactory. Went to John Lewis, still thinking Dyson and they showed me the Sebo as an alternative. You are even allowed to have a go with the machines. The sebo was much lighter. It is a bag cleaner but I have not ever found that a disadvantage. It cleans really well. There are lights to tell you what it is doing - ie brushes up or down which it adjust automatically. Or for a clogged bag. I use have two children and two cats so the cleaner gets alot of wear and tear and has stood up to cleaning/time really well. When you buy the bags you get all the filters too - I usually feel abox lasts me at least a year which is good value for money. I found it very light weight to use - much more manorverable than a dyson. It will even lie 'flat' on the floor which means I can, just, get the hoover under my sons bed without having to pull it out which is great - proabably an advantage should you have 'high standing' furniture too. I have quite long hair and I find loose stray hairs repeatedly get wrapped around the brushes but it is easy to sort when the brush is 'clogged' - just press a button, take out the brush and disentangle/cut the debris off. The suction is strong - its amazing what I have sucked up and not necessarily wanted to! But beware sweet wrappers as they can get stuck on the way past the brushes and up the hose and then are hard to get out - my friend made me a 'hook' using an old metal coat hanger, it works a treat! I work in Primary school and even discovered that they use sebos there -I'm sure you can imagine the carpets after a busy day! I could go into product details but can see someone has done that already - but if you are looking for a long lasting machine which is simpe to use and cleans well then this is the one, in my opinion.
A good compact review which tells the basics of Sebo's expertise. Weve had our X1 for more than 10 years now - have you thought about using the trapdoor on the plate of the Sebo to see through blockages from the brush to the hose? De clogging a Sebo is so much easier than modern vacuums including dreaded Dyson machines.
Quite a good review, Sorry for the low rating, but I think that it needs a lot more information and detail to justify a higher rating. Unfortunately you do need to give the product details, it also helps to have a bit more structure to the review (price would also be helpful). It helps if you write every product Review as if you’re writing for someone who has virtually no knowledge of what you’re reviewing, in clear non technical language. You might find it helpful if you read and rate some other peoples’ reviews (especially those that have been rated VH or E). It might give you an idea of the sort of things you need to include. It might also be helpful if you had a look at the Ciao guides to writing Reviews and Rating I found them really useful. If I can be of any help or if you decide to amend your review feel free to put a note in my gb, I’ll be happy to re-read and re-rate. Rich
