Sebo Airbelt D Series . . .
Original Message   Jul 7, 2010 5:20 pm
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.

FOR 2012, there are a couple of new SEBO releases. Firstly, a commercial version of the D canister, called "Professional D" and comes with a manual cord. It is pretty similar to the standard D range with a few changes. In Germany there are two models with different floors, the D7 has a parquet brush, the D8 has the standard heavy duty 2 way suction only floor head. The bottom cord hook (metal hook) also pushes into a recess when not required and easily pulls out to accept the bottom part of the cord when putting/storing the vacuum away. SEBO have also installed better quality commercial grade castors compared to those featured on the domestic market D series.

The machine's radius of action of 15.5 metres gives greater manoeuvrability without the user having to find another socket closer to the area being cleaned, and the six litre filter bag (the machine offers high quality S class filtration) gives increased capacity and makes this unit more economical to use. Improved air channels and conical hose produce a higher suction power, the patented Airbelt protects furniture and walls, while the innovative cable winder facilitates fast and tidy storage. Other features include a movable twist and tip joint, ergonomic handle and smooth start-up for longer life and a 'cold-socket' solution that enables the connecting cable to be replaced quickly if needed.








Other release - The FELIX range of uprights receives a new similar Turbo fan motor from the D series, making it quieter. That's all I know folks, but as usual I'll keep you posted!

Thanks Vacmanuk for the Sebo information. 

I have a Sebo Felix and really like it, will watch out for the new motor in the Felix next year.   I do like the D Series and X Series, was thinking of getting a Sebo X4 I take it there is no plans to change the X Series?   I'm really impressed with Sebo and how the brush roll on the Felix power head grooms the carpet better than other brands I've used in the past.

No problem DC - just keeping my ear to the ground and watching the web

My Felix is now six years old and looks pretty much abused, even though it still has that cream navy look to it and an ice blue wrap I prefer to the dark navy blue that came with it originally. However my Felix is noisier than most, having tried new ones in John Lewis stores, UK, but I think that's down to its age and if it isn't broke, there's no point in replacing it sadly.

Ive asked SEBO when they would update the X series, but they don't have any plans. It's a classic upright that does most things well, but could do with a variable suction dial like the Felix and a brush stop roll function. Perhaps their future traditional upright will have that. I have an X4 but my mum has the X1.1 and there's not much of a difference, really except of course just a slight hike of power.
