Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

Hi,

Which? magazine has just made a preliminary announcement re the Sebo D series vacuums.  Bags being my preference, I was pleased to read that the D series sports a 6-liter bag (about a gallon and a half).  The airbelt is a little wasted on me as I've never had problems with marring furniture.  However, if it will keep the machine itself from looking like it belongs in a second-hand shop for a few years I'm all for it.

Which? plans to test the D series soon.

Right oh. SEBO's D is now available from http://www.achooallergy.com/sebo-airbelt-d4-canister-vacuum-cleaner.asp

There is also a review on there and the summary is pretty much the same as my thoughts:

"...As far as SEBO vacuum cleaners go, the price of the Airbelt D4 Premium is at the very upper end. But like top-of-the line vacuum cleaners of other manufacturers, these vacuums tend to far outlast cheaper vacuums while providing better filtration and more value added features. So while the initial cost may be high, when factoring in the length of service the SEBO D4 will provide, it is a little easier to justify. While I have to admit that I personally prefer upright vacuums over canisters, the SEBO Airbelt is likely the best SEBO that I have tested. The cleaning and edging was superior while the mobility and weight made the unit easy to move from surface to surface. Ease of use was a big bonus (that auto rewind is always something I miss while using an upright), and the look is, well, distinctive. With pricing being my largest complaint, for the money, this vacuum is in line with the high-end, value rich models offered by other top vacuum manufacturers..."

This company are stocking the flagship range although prices are fairly expensive from $989-00 to $1,089-00 and this company seem to only be stocking the D4 Premium European model under different colours and a choice of electronically powered floor head sizes. Yet to find the basic versions without the power controls on the handle, but I'm sure they will eventually be sold in the U.S

Enjoyed your review posted here.  The differences in the motor watts here [US] and there [Europe} make the SEBO models hard to compare for us and UK.  Still no D series as yet on this side of the pond.

I thought the allergy club website I posted is in the U.S?

The allergy club is based in Atlanta, Georgia.  Still no D series on the SEBO USA website.  The Achoo Allergy club SEBO D4 series is 1800 motor watts. I opine that SEBO is making and marketing this D4 for limited retailers in the USA like Achoo Alergy Club.  Don't know this for sure.  I note too from the web site that the GSA approves SEBO for vacuums for Federal government purchases.

Correction: USA D4 motor on the achoo web page is 1200 watts.

It will take some time for the D series to appear on SEBO's USA site, Carmine. SEBO UK confirmed that the SEBO D had already been sent to the U.S to a number of private dealers before it is put on the website "nationally" on the official U.S website. I guess its all about money. It wont be long though I imagine they will have to make a new video for it as well.

This is a user video from a UK member of You Tube who has bought the new D4 Premium. Quite a nice video and the LED dial has a delightful light display going on.

Impressive vacuum and demo.  Thank you vacmanuk.  Demo'er did a fine job showing the machine and its features.  Would be nice if he did the same for the power head and brush roll.  I know what you're thinking:  Everbody is a critic......

I think that may well come eventually. It's certainly not my posting or my machine - I'm not keen any kind of cylinder vac with a power head - I always find that kind of concept too heavy to consider.

Hey Guys, New to Abby's Guide. I was looking around for this vacuum since your brought it up and found this website which really explains this machine extremely well. The best description I have found on it so far.

They have both the red and the black one up. Now I just have to decide whether I should spend for this machine or the Miele.
