AIRBELT E1 Kombi

E1 i would go for, maybe add deluxe parquet tool, you can remove front brush so it gobbles stuff rather than push it

water does not filter very well as bubbles pop and unfiltered dust shoots through, get a miele or Sebobagged vacuum

You’re in the states we have rainbow water Vacuums until the last 20 years when they put HEPA filters on them they had a horrible filtration. I have a device that I can test that with. sorry I meant until they put the HEPA exhaust filter on them. They were very bad filtering.

I’m not sure what brands you have in Europe and I was thinking of a canister style Miele or SEBO

Sebo is most of my business so that!

Of course she will get conflicting views here. SEBO if you have the money as well worth it if not, go with the Kenny.

Or the only other quality Vacuum is the SEBO you can tell them that you want one of those instead

As a small vacuum business myself, I would be happy to switch it out for you, if you feel better, call them ahead of time. Tell him what happened and you decide to go with the SEBO

They are having issues with their new SEB O and they are upset, these things are very rare, but they do happen

Windsor/Sebo as good as it gets, what is breaking?

Miele an Sebo are the premium canisters due to quality, warranty, and filtration. Of the two, Miele hoses are more flexible. I have both the Sebo E3 and D4, and both hoses are stiff and bulky due to their tapered design. I also have the Miele C3 and prefer it for dusting because Miele makes a larger, fully articulating brush (SUB 20) that works on the ceiling fans and bookshelves. For hard floor cleaning, the parquet twister is my go to, both Sebo and Meile have a version of this attachment. Based on your cleaning needs, a suction only machine will work well. Look at the Miele Classic C1 or Guard M1. Sebo comes in a close second place for portability. Look at the E1 or K2 Kombi and add the parquet twister. If you have a vacuum dealer, go there, the Black Friday discounts will be better and they will give you a package discount for any additional attachments, bags, etc.

How big is your home? If your around 2500 to 3000 square feet I'd recommend the Sebo E1 with the addition of the Premium parquet head for your hard floors. It comes with a Kombi head that'll do both but the premium head is really worth the upgrade.

I'm in UK, 70m2 split level flat that's 20% carpet. I bought a Sebo E1 with the premium parquet head to use on the 80% hard floors, and it came with an air-powered head for carpets. It works waaaaay better than my old Vax canister. So this was a straight swap and is stored in its place. I'm also looking for convenience, while the Sebo E1 is amazing, plugging and unplugging and especially lugging it down a spiral staircase is ok but a hassle to do regularly. So I bought a used Miele Triflex HX2. It can stand upright on its own and is super light on the hand as it can be assembled with the motor/bin closer to the floor. It is stored in a nook in the kitchen and is largely out of sight. IMHO, best of both worlds.

Sebo E3 (if you value a powered floor head) or E1. Miele is very good too (as an alternative to the E1), but Sebo is cheaper to maintain. Stay away from shark. This is a good primer on what to look for in a vac: https://seboshop.co.uk/blog/how-to-choose-a-vacuum-cleaner/

Look at seboshop.co.uk for refurbs, worth calling as well in case they have something that's not yet online. You could also take a shot at eBay refurbs, some vac repair shops recondition them. Miele and Sebo are the best brands on the market. You'll want to look for corded and bagged.

Sebo e1 or e2 depending on your rugs. A bit above your budget but you won't need to replace it, for atleast a decade but probably atleast two decades. 10 year warranty. You may be able to get it at discount from a dealer. The white is the best at hiding scratches. Another option, that's cheaper is a Miele c1 pure suction or the blue version with a turbo brush. Much, much shorter warranty period but excellent on hard floors. I have a Sebo d4 and purchase a Miele c1 pure suction as a present for my mother. Forget about Dyson or shark.

The D4 is the big daddy. The E is the newer design but smaller and convenient for most people. The K1 is the oldest design and a little bit quirkier. The D is probably the best engineered, but unless you need the long cord and the giant bag, the E1 is probably better for most people. The analog slider for suction power on the e1 is the better design. They all use the same motor with 2000hr service life and have the same suction. The k1 allows you to attach a Hepa exhaust filter I believe. There is no appreciable difference between Sebo s class and Hepa (unless you happen to be an electron microscope). The white color is best at hiding scratches. You're buying a Sebo for effectiveness, reliability, repairability and cheap consumables (relative to Miele). They are engineered to just work for decades. The Miele's tend to require maintenance.

The Dyson, the shark and the roomba don’t compare to the Sebo. That’s how they compare. It’s like asking how a goldfish compares to a great white shark. I guess they both live in the water.

A Sebo or Miele canister with a simple suction head. You don't really need a power head unless you have carpet. Sebo: K1 and E1. Miele: C1 PureSuction.

SEBO K2 or E1. Miele C1. A bagged canister is going to be your best friend for the allergies and easier to use on upholstery than an upright. The SEBOs have a much better warranty, you might be able to get a better deal on a Miele.
