"it's so NICE to throw the bag of stinky (I have a golden retriever XD) dog hair into the trash and not have it funking up the whole vacuum, forever."
"The filtration is seriously THAT GOOD. The bags are HEPA material, then there's another HEPA filter that follows that, and another HEPA filter after the motor. ... the bags are quite thick, and that extra tower filter in there that catches anything loose in the bag chamber makes a big difference in air quality... Essentially it's filtering through the equivalent of two bags vs 1. ... Speaking strictly from experience, I'm allergic to all the things and I never sneeze or get watery itchy gritty eyes when I'm using mine, which I normally always do."
"I'm not as faithful about changing those bags as I should be, and it never gets stinky on me. I use it for awful jobs like vacuuming out the truck/cars, inside the blower chamber of the furnace, dryer vents, etc, stuff I really should be using a shop vac for, and the inside of it stays remarkably *very* clean"

"Sebo has superb customer service. ... Both companies have a real live human in the US who answers the phone!"
"a 7-10 year warranty on motor and non-wear parts. ... No other vacuum company stands behind their product the way they so (not even Miele these days.)"
"Sebo has vastly better parts support and customer service than Miele. ... Sebo will sell you any part you want and a real human answers the phone and will answer your questions."

"I’m 58 and I won’t need another vacuum before I die."
"i bought my x4 a decade ago and it’s the most expensive thing in my home but it’s never so much as flinched. ... haven’t even maintained it (i know, i know) and it runs like the day i bought it."
"Sebo has legendary durability ... both are built to survive many years of hard daily use by janitors and hospitality staff."

"Does fantastic with dog hair."
"the suction power is absolutely ridiculous! ... We have cats, and a big dog, and a lot of foot traffic and it really keeps up well. ... When we ripped out the last of the (very) old carpet in our house I was shocked that there was practically no dust/sand underneath - I feel like that was solid evidence that it had been doing a good job keeping up."
"put my Dyson Animal to shame."

"I just asked about how often I’d be buying bags for a sebo with two high shedding large dogs, (similar probably too a gsd and 3 (if long hair cats) I would probably be replacing the bag every week. ... Calculating that cost for two dogs is another 210 a year in bags (probably more for me)"

"The comment regarding the handle creaky sounds and audible air leak... I have found the audible air leak in multiple Miele canisters (over the years) AND Sebo."
"As for the creaky handle -with even slight "give" in it, I have definitely noted it, but again, I believe it is one of those, "it doesn't actually affect anything in a meaningful way, but it does allow for the fit and connections as intended" situations. I could be wrong, but if it were an issue, I think warranty costs alone would discourage them from continuing with the practice. BUT, again, there is no doubt, that it is a very real thing."
Sebo is most of my business so that!
r/VacuumCleaners • Best vacuum cleaner of 2025???? ->Of course she will get conflicting views here. SEBO if you have the money as well worth it if not, go with the Kenny.
r/VacuumCleaners • Recommendation for lots of pet hair and carpets. ->SEBO x4 or G series bulletproof and easy to work on
r/VacuumCleaners • Teenager-Proof Commercial Vacuums ->People like them but we had plenty of issues with them, this one made in Vietnam now, make sure you have a dealer near you, or just buy a Sebo x4, I've sold thousands for combo surfaces
r/VacuumCleaners • Riccar? ->yeah not sure about that vibrating thing. Even the hoover bagless windtunnel whole house rewind is on the CRI list, and is a $170 vacuum that is very basic and doesn't do the best at picking up everything. I used to have one, and my parents dyson dc07 picked up more of what it missed, and that vacuum was out performed by my mom's new to her Sebo x4
r/VacuumCleaners • Soniclean ->Got 2 SeBo X4’s that I use in a commercial setting. Built like tanks and incredibly well designed for maintenance. Love them
r/BuyItForLife • I analyzed the 25 most recommended vacuum cleaners on reddit ->I have the Sebo X4. I’ve had it for about 20 years maybe longer? It’s great. I had to replace the pedal and it was inexpensive to do and easy.
r/BuyItForLife • These are the most recommended vacuum cleaners on Reddit (r/VacuumCleaners VS others) as of Jan 2025 ->It's a great machine. Ya dun good 😁 Do replace the filters periodically. And to do that, get the "Service Boxes", not just the filters. The service boxes come with a replacement squeegee for the base that helps it actually work on the hard floors and not just flick things like kitty litter back towards your feet and those squeegees do eventually tear and fall apart.
r/VacuumCleaners • Impulse buy: Sebo Automatic X4 ->I love this machine! Only slight issue I have is it doesn’t really feel like it’s getting deep down, it’s VERY easy to push. But my full bags tell me otherwise. I found mine at a flea market for $5!!! It was in ROUGH shape. I went straight to the vacuum store and bought replacement Brush, Filters, and Bag. I actually got that tune up kit that included the plastic squeegee strip on the bottom. I spent about $120-ish on the new stuff and it works like a DREAM. Has really good suction
r/VacuumCleaners • Impulse buy: Sebo Automatic X4 ->It's a good vacuum. And thorough. Very nice machine, enjoy it!
r/VacuumCleaners • Impulse buy: Sebo Automatic X4 ->Nope, though I wouldn’t mind a decent bagged cordless for a low price for quick run arounds. The GTech Pro 2 is something like I’m thinking about but can’t find one anywhere currently. The Henry Quick is too expensive. I don’t need it, I have 3 Sebo’s (2 Felix’s and a X4) and a Miele S8, which is essentially the same as a C3, but they are all corded.
r/VacuumCleaners • Did anyone upgrade their vacuum cleaner for Black Friday deals? ->So we joke about how much this sub really loves Sebo lol, but in your case, I would say Sebo models Essential G4, Automatic X4, or the commercial equivalents which are approximately $200 cheaper, the Sebo mechanical 300 or it's American version, Windsor xp-12. These are going to start around $600-700 unless you find one used, but these are the famous hospital / hotel vacuums that you'll see all around the world. The filtration is seriously THAT GOOD. The bags are HEPA material, then there's another HEPA filter that follows that, and another HEPA filter after the motor, and the suction power is absolutely ridiculous! Built to last forever. That's a steep price however, and not realistic for many families. You'll probably have just as good of luck with this one, a Simplicity model. It uses similar material bags, is also powerful and lightweight, and is going to be adequate for most homes and allergy kids. I've used one and found it to be a really good machine. $260 https://a.co/d/3iHNxMu If I'm still out of price range, just know that you can get HEPA media bags and filters for pretty much all bagged vacuums these days. The main idea isn't the cost of the machine, it's that the bag catches all those tiny micron particles and seals them in there. As long as you change them often, they are going to do their job well 👍.
r/VacuumCleaners • Looking for the best bagged HEPA vacuum with a sealed system ->If you are interested in an upright, the Sebo Felix and my personal favourite, the X4, are fantastic. Well built, nothing overkill, easy to service, excellent power and long lasting machines.
r/VacuumCleaners • Consumer Reports Reviews of Vacuum Cleaners ->A lot of windsor models have less power than sebo, and I don't see them hold up as well as a Sebo X4. Why the reviewer didn't test an X4 shows they don't know what they're doing. The Sebo X4 is sebo's best upright. To not test one in an upright demonstration means you're either intenionally skewing your results - or you don't know what you're doing. He also just straight up didn't test a "Sebo" vacuum.
r/VacuumCleaners • The reason brands like Sebo and Miele get recommended ->They’re fine for the price typically and seem to overall last and have a bag which is great. The handles aren't that solid and the powerhead has a more basic approach but I'm ok with them. Their lightweight as well. I see a lot of them though priced more than $400+ canadian and a Sebo dart is $549 canadian so I can't recommend it beside the sebo, but If their arouf 300-350 ish then they're fine.
r/VacuumCleaners • The reason brands like Sebo and Miele get recommended ->For any type of commercial usage or lots of house to house cleaning I typically recommend upright vacuums as there are less components that can break. The Sebo X4 is my personal favourite upright vacuum, and typically pushes easier than the Felix (it’s odd bacause the X4 looks heavier but they’re both similar lifting weight wise). The X4 also has a better hose attachment than the Felix. The E3 or D4 would be my canister recommendations, just make sure to get the correct attachments. I went for the Sebo D4 premium as the bag capacity is huge and I just love the vacuum.
r/VacuumCleaners • The reason brands like Sebo and Miele get recommended ->Also, just thought I’d throw another name out there which is Sebo. Sebo some would consider is the best vacuum in the industry and I’m happy to agree with that. Very popular for house to house cleaning and commercial usage as well. They simply require less maintenance than most other brands and are among the easiest to service. If you don’t wanna go for a Miele, Sebo is the next one you should look at. You will never look back at a shark or Dyson. The Sebo X4 or Felix are there most popular uprights, and Sebo E3 or D4 premium are their best canister vacuums.
r/VacuumCleaners • Bought a Shark and it’s incredible!! ->The miele cannisters have rubberized pieces where contact may occur, as well as on the tool head. I'm not sure the 5 vs 10 year warranty matters as far as these vacuums go. I know people have had issues,but it's unlikely. You don't have to spend 1k or more to get excellent performance from Miele and Sebo, and preowned isn't a bad option considering how long they last. Anecdotally I found a Sebo X4 Automatic for 10$, the cord was destroyed and it needed a brush roll. 65$ worth of parts, some cleaning, and this thing is rocking. So marketplace isn't an unreasonable place to find one.
r/VacuumCleaners • It is time for a new vacuum cleaner, and now that I am almost 40 I will not be buying it from Walmart. Suggestions?! ->The best vacuum cleaner is the one that fits your cleaning needs. That said; if I’m choosing: - MD or Vacuflo central vac with chameleon retractable hoses and direct connext inlets. - Canister: SEBO D4 - Raw Power upright: Riccar R40 - Overall upright: Sebo X -Cordless: Hoover ONEPWR Hepa Bagged Upright BH55500PC (oreck has one, Hoover commercial has 40v version) - Ultralight: Oreck Elevate Conquer (yes Riccar R17 is excellent but this has a swivel neck)
r/VacuumCleaners • What's the best vacuum currently in existence, price not relevant? ->Sebo are expensive, but they are incredible. If you can afford it, I recommend. Miele are also great. The place I purchased from had both on display. I preferred the Sebo for the ease of removing the brush roller. This makes it really easy to remove the hair that gets wrapped around it.
r/BuyItForLife • I analyzed the 25 most recommended vacuum cleaners on reddit ->Twenty seven years ago we purchased a Eureka canister that broke within a year. We ended up with a Miele. That thing still runs and I use it to clean my unfinished basement twice a year. My new Miele canister lives on my first floor for hardwood and my Sebo upright in s upstairs for carpeting. The Sebo is heavy but it’s a beast that will definitely outlive me. I now have two very cheap cordless vacuums that I use like Dustbusters. I’ve never understood why people buy that Dyson crap. There are complaints everywhere. There’s a difference between a company that spends money on engineering and quality and one that spend it on advertising. Dyson spends it on advertising. I’d vote for Miele everyday.
r/VacuumCleaners • DO NOT BUY A DYSON (I wish someone had told me this) ->Check out Sebo. Their uprights are excellent.
r/VacuumCleaners • Is Vorwerk the only upright vacuum cleaner for carpets ->Definitely don’t buy a $75 cordless vacuum. It will be in the trash before the New Year then you’ll be looking to replace it, wasting even more money. If you can stretch slightly (a bit). Keep an eye out for Black Friday sales for a Hoover Complete performance or Kenmore intuition. Agreed with Performance reviews - used is a great option for that budget. A used Miele, Sebo, Oreck or Sanitare
r/VacuumCleaners • Any ideas for good vacuums $75 or less? ->V11 and later versions of their cordless perform ok for thick carpets. You have to open the front gates to relieve pressure. If you have a lot of carpet, you have to learn to stop cleaning your entire home in one go. If you really want a Dyson, I would personally only get the Ball Animal 3 for your thick carpets. It also works really well for hard floors. You should watch Vacuum War's review on it to see if it fits your needs. DO NOT get any other version of Dyson uprights, they are horrible and only work on very specific types of carpets. Otherwise, a Sebo upright is my next recommendation if you don't mind bagged.
r/dyson • What is the best vacuum for carpeted floors? ->SEBO for upright. Miele for canister. Miele has slightly better filtration than SEBO but I personally prefer SEBO canisters and uprights due to better warranty and cost of ownership
r/VacuumCleaners • Looking for the best bagged HEPA vacuum with a sealed system ->I'm probably going to get down voted for this but I'd stay away from Riccar. They aren't what they used to be. SEBO and Miele are the ones that get the most love and for good reason. I prefer SEBO above all because they're 100% German made machines, they have a great ecosystem, are easy to self service and parts are readily available. They have great filtration and bags are inexpensive. As for ZeroG, I'd be skeptical of them. They are a small company and every time I look at their website they are always out of stock. They use proprietary bags that are not available anywhere but their own website. What happens if/when they go out of business? Can't get bags for them and the machine is useless. I will say they make a nice looking machine with awesome features and performance. I'd buy one second hand if I could find one but if I paid full price and couldn't get service or parts then I'd be upset.
r/VacuumCleaners • Recommended vacuum for my son's first house ->I don’t disagree with people who say Miele, but Sebo are also really good. (We have the upright and it’s fantastic). Similar German quality and engineering.
r/AskIreland • What vacuum cleaners do people recommend? ->If you're cleaning a lot of hardwood floors, I would not do Sebo uprights as they don't have a brushroll shutoff Electric brooms like the Sebo Felix/Dart, Lindhaus Valzer, Healthcare Pro can fit both the hard floor tools and motorized brushrolls from Sebo/Lindhaus Uprights like the Lindhaus Diamante have 2 motors and the brushroll can be turned off for hard floors. Not ideal if hardfloors are your main surface For canisters, Sebo D9 (the commercial version of the D4) and Lindhaus HF6 would be good options for doing it all. They have the electric brushrolls, huge bag capacity, commercial warranties, and long cords
r/VacuumCleaners • Top all around vacuum cleaners for busy residential house cleaning business? ->I am owned by 2 cats myself and currently vacuuming like mad, fighting a flea infestation. Now fleas get everywhere and you need to vacuum not just the floors in the rooms, but also bedding, stairs, and anywhere else the cats possibly go. Currently using a borrowed Sebo upright teamed with a Dyson V15 handheld thingy. The V15 is out of price range (unless used?). Comes with many tools, among them is a small powered brushbar that's excellent for use on stairs themselves. With no hoses or cables, you can clean the stairs very quickly. Even if the V15 is way out of budget, there are the older models like the V7 which to be honest fill the role just as well and are less heavy on the wrist. Now, the Sebo (being a mains powered upright) is a lot more powerful and cleans the rooms nicely but it's much more prone to having the brushbar clog up and the short hose makes it useless on stairs. It's fairly light though and not too bad to carry up and down stairs. It makes a lot of sense as a main vacuum, but it can't do everything. Based on my experience, I suggest you split the budget and get two vacuums; an upright to do the bulk cleaning, and a decent handheld for the things the upright can't do so easily. I wouldn't recommend a handheld as your only vacuum, but for certain situations they are helpful and quick. I use it on the stairs, on furniture, and occasionally to do the floors with it when I need to be quieter or can't be bothered to get the sebo out.
r/VacuumCleaners • Vacuum recommendations for a two cat household ->The comment regarding the handle creaky sounds and audible air leak... I have found the audible air leak in multiple Miele canisters (over the years) AND Sebo. I don't think this is a change from previous models I've used. It just seems to be a reality that they don't see as a significant concern (ie. likely to not affect performance in a meaningful way, but preventing it would probably require fittings that would likely add cost, decrease dependability, and in the very least, wear down with not much use to the point that they ultimately start leaking). I really don't think it likely makes a noteworthy difference and they know the benefit:cost situation. As for the creaky handle -with even slight "give" in it, I have definitely noted it, but again, I believe it is one of those, "it doesn't actually affect anything in a meaningful way, but it does allow for the fit and connections as intended" situations. I could be wrong, but if it were an issue, I think warranty costs alone would discourage them from continuing with the practice. BUT, again, there is no doubt, that it is a very real thing. I haven't had an issue with the swivel of the ET-1 but prefer how light and maneuverable it feels to me. The low profile is also much better than \*most\* of the high end power heads I've used. Thank you for the review and thoughts. It is nice to hear about experiences!
r/VacuumCleaners • Sebo E3 Real World Review ->none, save your money and get a vacuum that isn't overpriced and unreliable like every shark is, for $400 you can get a really decent spec miele or sebo, both of which are fantastic for carpets
r/VacuumCleaners • Which Shark vacuum should I buy? ->Dyson V 15 and Sebo owner with two super hairy shorthairs living in a cement floored warehouse with lots of Turkish area rugs. Not sure what your obviously perfect feline does but life with my kitties has its challenges. They are dirt attractants to say nothing of the charms of litter in bare fee. Couldn’t live without the instant availability of a cordless and the 15 is a solid performer in all areas. My rugs do look cleaner after a full Sebo experience but I’m lazy and place is big. I have come to realize you need more than one vacuum, unless you have only one flooring type , don’t have to carry up stairs or navigate a labyrinth of hallways and live in under 1000sq ft.
r/VacuumCleaners • What should I get to vacuum lots of cat hair? ->My Sebo was around that, but should last long enough to be less money than buying multiple vacuums.
r/BuyItForLife • I analyzed the 25 most recommended vacuum cleaners on reddit ->Love love love our Sebo it’s perfect and solid. Our cleaner has been in the business for decades and said Sebo vacuums are the absolute best.
r/BuyItForLife • The BIFL Vacuum Market is Annoying Me: help! ->Big dyson hater here. New dyson's are absolutely junk. I'd go with a sebo.
r/VacuumCleaners • My original Dyson lasted me 19 years. Are Dysons any good still? Or should I switch to a Sebo? Have carpet upstairs and on the stairs. Roomba takes care of the tIle downstairs. ->If you want another option, look into Sebo vacuums. They’re a bit pricey but built like tanks and great for allergy control. The sealed system is no joke.
r/VacuumCleaners • Best vacuum for highly allergic pet ->My Sebo is my favorite appliance. They're easy to maintain and I got a killer deal on FB Marketplace.
r/VacuumCleaners • My original Dyson lasted me 19 years. Are Dysons any good still? Or should I switch to a Sebo? Have carpet upstairs and on the stairs. Roomba takes care of the tIle downstairs. ->I bought our sebo online directly from the manufacturer. No regrets.
r/pittsburgh • Best place around to buy a high end vacuum? ->Indeed, the Dyson is ideal for everyday light cleaning in smaller spaces or apartments. A canister vacuum is more suitable for thorough weekly cleaning of a larger home. Unfortunately, I cannot afford both the SEBO I purchased and a €1000 Dyson. I might consider a robot vacuum for automated daily cleaning and mopping in the future, though higher-quality models are also quite costly, similar to the Dyson, and also made in Asia, which I prefer to avoid.
r/VacuumCleaners • Is there a affordable alternative to the Dyson V15 vacuum? ->And officially it’s my goal to thank every single one of you all that recommended my vacuum for me. 6 months in with our particular Sebo and we’re hooked on the quality of it. OP, when you get a better vacuum, you’re going to flip at the night and day difference in customer service. Our new vacuum had a teeny tiny nuisance issue, took it to the shop where we bought it, turns out there was a service notice for the issue. Fixed and turned around in under 2 hours with no charge. Post your requirements, and let this wonderful community guide you!
r/VacuumCleaners • DO NOT BUY A DYSON (I wish someone had told me this) ->I bought a SEBO about 10 years ago and it has never had a single issue. You cannot kill them.
r/VacuumCleaners • Switched from a smelly Shark upright to a SEBO E3 Premium – total game changer! ->Ok so maybe someone can tell me what's going on here. I have a Sebo, it does a good job on carpet but on linoleum does a shitty job like it doesn't have enough suction to effectively vacuum without the carpet head.
r/BuyItForLife • These are the 25 most recommended vacuum cleaners on Reddit (based on 1,821 users, in the past year) wdyt? ->The answer is always Miele or Sebo
r/VacuumCleaners • Recommended vacuum for my son's first house ->I would check out r/vacuumcleaners. I have a Sebo, they have a 10 year warranty and are repairable.
r/homemaking • Vacuum Cleaner Recommendations? ->Very interesting, I thought Dyson was the most hated on Reddit. I spent months to read comments and ended up with Sebo. Used Dyson before and it was mid.
r/BuyItForLife • I analyzed the 25 most recommended vacuum cleaners on reddit ->You’ll save money. If you buy a Dyson or Shark you’ll have to spend another 200 or 300 bucks in a few years. If you buy a Sebo, you will be set for 10 to 20 years.
r/VacuumCleaners • Looking for a Carpet Vacuum Cleaner Under $300 (Long Hair Friendly) ->A Henry should be at the top of your list, since it's affordable and manufactured in the UK. You can use variety of parquet brushes and the horsehair ones would be great for LVP. A miele or Sebo would be more expensive and would come with extra bells and whistles such as self retracting cords and better ergonomics, storage. If you need to clean rugs, you can find a turbo attachment. These options will last you 15+ years. If you want something cordless, Dyson fluffy rollers are good for quick pickups and won't hurt the flooring. The V8 absolute package includes a fluffy roller and goes on sale intermittently to be within your budget. Keep in mind while it might be a space saving option and convenient, cordless stick vacuums usually last a couple of years before big problems arise, hence why the main recommendation is for bagged, plug in vacuums.
r/VacuumCleaners • Vacuum Recommendations: No beater bars for LVT Coretec floors ->I did soooo much research on this. If you’re in it for the long haul, get a sebo. There’s a few different ones. Amazing reviews, long lasting, easy to repair. Long warranty.
r/housekeeping • Best vacuum for the job? ->how brilliant that youve been using it that long : ) sebos are fantastic machines and definitely recommend if you want to upgrade but they are expensive on the other hand you can find replacement cyclones for your dc07 very easily online if you want to breathe new life into that
r/VacuumCleaners • My original Dyson lasted me 19 years. Are Dysons any good still? Or should I switch to a Sebo? Have carpet upstairs and on the stairs. Roomba takes care of the tIle downstairs. ->That’s what I thought, too. Here’s my math on that: I spent $1k on my Sebo in March. I added up the cost of the 3 Dyson vacuums( I’ve had since 2017) and the parts I’ve had to replace = I should have bought a Sebo sooner. Models I’m literally placing on the curb tomorrow for whoever wants them. I’ve had it with Dyson’s cheap plastic crap: The upright Dyson (2021), V6 (2017) replaced with V11 (2022). All have had their brush heads replaced. 2 of the 3 are broken again. Not sure what’s wrong with the upright, again. We don’t even use them heavily, I have cleaners in once every 2 weeks. It’s absurd.
r/BuyItForLife • These are the 25 most recommended vacuum cleaners on Reddit (based on 1,821 users, in the past year) wdyt? ->SEBO any model.
r/VacuumCleaners • What's the best vacuum currently in existence, price not relevant? ->I couldn't afford a $1400 vacuum if I wanted one but Sebo is way more than 1% gains over a "normal" vacuum. They are also repairable which is a huge factor if BIFL - repair your expensive high quality item instead of buying and disposing X cheaper ones. Everyone has to draw their own line at where X is, before they can't justify the expense. But you did not, in your example, meet any BIFL.
r/BuyItForLife • These are the 25 most recommended vacuum cleaners on Reddit (based on 1,821 users, in the past year) wdyt? ->The airstorm, while good, is no better than a miele or sebo. I wouldn't pay the premium. Mieles and sebos are also sealed to trap dust. They are also more modern in design and easier to use (they have cord rewind while the air storm does not). There's nothing really bespoke about the airstorm. Underneath the top shell, the power nozzle is the same as ones avaliable for Miele models. The hose and other tools are generic off-the-shelf supplies etc. While it would probably last you a long time and do a good job, you might resent using it. I'd strongly suggest you try one in person before choosing, and frankly I'd save money and go with a nicer to use miele/sebo.
r/VacuumCleaners • Air Storm Plus HEPA vacuum ->It is impossible until you go to a vacuum shop and end up paying $1K for a Sebo(or equivalent brand). End of the story, I did it, and never think about it again! It is much, but not as much as paying $400 every 2-3 years and worrying about am I really cleaning..
r/VacuumCleaners • Why does it feel like finding a vacuum is an impossible task ->Just get a SEBO or Miele. The last of the good vacuums.
r/VacuumCleaners • DO NOT BUY A DYSON (I wish someone had told me this) ->The telescopic wand on my Sebo keeps losing the clip holding it in place. Ends up in the bag. Sebo is no good for shag carpet.
r/VacuumCleaners • My original Dyson lasted me 19 years. Are Dysons any good still? Or should I switch to a Sebo? Have carpet upstairs and on the stairs. Roomba takes care of the tIle downstairs. ->I didn’t know you had to be rich to buy the $9 pill box they recommend. Or the hundreds of other products they have under $20. Sorry you can’t afford a quality vacuum or other quality products. But don’t be resentful. Instead, I would focus on increasing your income or learn better budgeting. I only make $40,000/year. I use YNAB and have bought many of Wirecutters Top or Upgrade picks, including a Sebo vacuum. You have to choose what things in life that are priorities and worth spending more on. I don’t think it’s a secret—to anyone with a pulse—that quality cost money. Not always, but usually. It’s okay if certain product is not worth spending a premium on for you personally. But saying Wirecutter is for rich people makes you sound poor and ignorant, and that mindset will guarantee you stay poor for the rest of your life.
r/VacuumCleaners • Consumer Reports Reviews of Vacuum Cleaners ->SEBO…. Best Vacuum Cleaner On The Market. 👍👍
r/VacuumCleaners • Best vacuum for getting litter pieces out of carpet? ->It’s not. The Only One… SEBO! 😏
r/VacuumCleaners • Why is it so hard to come to a consensus about the best vacuum cleaners? ->You will not regret keeping the Dyson as your quick cleaner. The SEBO is a much better vacuum for deep cleaning and the hardwoods. If the flooring rush, didn’t come with the Cibo, go to a vacuum store and pick up the parquet floor tool.
r/VacuumCleaners • I got a Sebo Felix for FREE! ->Honestly I have hard floors everywhere except my stairs. I own a cheap no name cordless I got on Amazon and a Sebo a friend game me when her parents passed away. The cheap cordless one gets more use because it’s easy- it works exactly the way I need it to when I need it to. It’s been 2 years and it’s going strong. When it breaks, I’ll buy another cheap one. As long as I keep the filter clean, I have zero problems with suction etc. it’s has a beater brush head, height adjustable handle and a few attachments- pretty bare bones. I use the Sebo for cleaning the filter of the other vacuum and for getting my rugs “really” clean when I feel like I need to. One day I may have carpet again or deeper pile rugs and then it will get a lot more use. Until then, the cheap cordless is great!
r/VacuumCleaners • Ive been trying to find a vacuum, I scoured the sub for hours. Conclusion? r/VacuumCleaners hate vacuum cleaners and apparently i should just buy a broom. ->The Miele, Henry, and Sebo vacs are the only ones worth a damn on this list. If you want a real BIFL vac and are willing to shell out, get a Lindhaus.
r/BuyItForLife • These are the most recommended vacuum cleaners on Reddit (r/VacuumCleaners VS others) as of Jan 2025 ->Yeah I worked as a vacuum tech for years and sold Miele, Sebo and Dysons, But Mieles were in for repair probably the most. All the service techs including me hated them. Way over priced and a royal pain to work on/get parts. The Dyson cordless that that I’ve owned for six years now has worked flawlessly and still gets 40 minutes on charge easily. And also for all the Dysons I’ve recommended to people through the years have all worked amazing. Dyson blows the competition away when it comes to innovation, and the overall product experience, especially the cordless game. Will never go back from Dyson. I do really like Sebo! Just expensive and hate bags/low portability.
r/VacuumCleaners • Whatever you do - never buy a Dyson ->It's like this. My wife sprinkled the magic pet deodorizer against my advice in our carpet a couple years ago. We have a Dyson. Never got it out. I bought a Sebo, bag was full of the shit. As a pet owner it has brought me piece of mind knowing when I vacuum their filth and hair is gone.
r/VacuumCleaners • Took the plunge, bought the Sebo Felix Premium! ->Did this and the vacuum store recommended Sebo over Miele. Apparently Sebo has a better product warranty and it's easier to order replacement parts. At that price range, there's probably more good vacuum brands than bad ones.
r/CleaningTips • Best vacuum for all floors, pet hair, and heavy duty use that is NOT bulky. ->I am not a vacuum nerd. However I bought a Sebo last year and I cannot imagine a better vacuum. If Meile are better, it can’t be by much.
r/BuyItForLife • These are the 25 most recommended vacuum cleaners on Reddit (based on 1,821 users, in the past year) wdyt? ->I have to agree with this. Returned my V15 because the fluffy brush was not gentle on my less than 2 year old solid hickory wood floors. Bought a Sebo which is gentle on my wood floors as it comes with a nice parquet floor brush.
r/dyson • Best Dyson Stick Vacuum ->I have a sebo and a hairy dog, and don't notice any odors or stink. I do buy the fragrances sebo sells, though, just as a fun luxury. I enjoy the way they smell, and they're very mild and the scent leaves soon enough. I don't think miele has better filtration- statistically, there's really no diff between the S-class and HEPA in the real world. I've also used HEPA filters in mine on occasion and don't notice any difference.
r/VacuumCleaners • Switched from a smelly Shark upright to a SEBO E3 Premium – total game changer! ->If you work in sales, I guess you'd know. I just searched the company, looks like an old-time company first based in Toledo, OH. First disposable dust bag in 1920. Some history! I have a sebo, and would stick with that. Does your new one clean well? If you already bought it and it's non-returnable, I'd just enjoy it.
r/VacuumCleaners • So I just spent $800 on the Air-way centuri dog n cat should I have buyer’s remorse? ->I'm a Sebo dude - Sebo is my ride or die However I've always been very impressed a the Shark bagless corded vacuums My mom gifted me one a couple years back and it does a great job Never had any problems
r/VacuumCleaners • Please help me find a good mid/low range vacuum. ->I spend 1200 on a sebo and don't regret it one bit
r/BuyItForLife • I analyzed the 25 most recommended vacuum cleaners on reddit ->But it for life with either a Sebo or Miele. You’ll spend over $1000 for a good but you’ll never have to buy another vacuum again.
r/homeowners • Best house vacuum ->Real vacuum dealerships will not sell Dyson any longer. Many other traditional brands either because those companies have decided to produce in Asia and change designs super fast. It is the OPPOSITE of sustainability, it is planned obsolescence at an incredible level. Vacs should not be bought online and a big box stores, these machines do not clean carpet/air, are designed to fail, can’t be serviced and are literal fire hazards. Man the stories I can tell you about “brand new” machines. Most were manufactured years before they reached the consumer. CAVEAT EMPTOR. Dealerships sell quality machines, built to last, serviceable, at great competitive prices, with warranties that do not cost extra. You can’t find service like that anywhere! Find a dealer and buy Riccar or Sebo.
r/VacuumCleaners • DO NOT BUY A DYSON (I wish someone had told me this) ->It comes down to wanting something that is built to last, easy to maintain and repair, and buying a brand that stands behind their product. When you buy a Sebo from an authorized dealer, it comes with a 10 year warranty. You can take it to any Sebo dealer and they’ll fix it for free. You don’t get that at a $150 price point. It’s not like 30 years ago when most products were BIFL. If you want something that lasts and has a good warranty, it costs more. If you don’t care if it lasts and you don’t mind replacing it often, spend $150. It’s that simple.
r/BuyItForLife • These are the 25 most recommended vacuum cleaners on Reddit (based on 1,821 users, in the past year) wdyt? ->I’m not a Miele fan either. It’s waaay to echo-chambered around here. I much prefer Sebo.
r/VacuumCleaners • [REVIEW] Miele Vacuums are a joke ->going to second this. just purchased a sebo from here. lady is super helpful and super into vaccums. very solid place.
r/ChicagoSuburbs • Vacuum cleaner store ->When we bought our Karastan carpet, there was a vacuum recommendation on the website. We already had a Sebo, and weren't about to purchase something else. We also don't have high pile. I previously saw they recommended Soniclean, but for all I know, it could have been a tie-in for financial reasons more than they really thought it was better than anything else.
r/VacuumCleaners • Best Vacuum for thick high pile carpet with dogs? ->I was just curious. I'm very happy with my Sebo, thanks. It's like they're trying to say, "if you have to ask you can't afford it." Not a big fan of that attitude.
r/VacuumCleaners • Best bagged vacuum? ->SEBO. Love mine, my sister has had hers for 15+ years.
r/VacuumCleaners • Looking for the Best Vacuum Cleaner that Actually Lasts? ->I have Miele and love my machine. Yeah its bagged, but works so well. Sebo has great offerings also.
r/BuyItForLife • The BIFL Vacuum Market is Annoying Me: help! ->price of replacement parts is a huge reason i recommend sebo vacuums. every time i have to look up a part for a miele vacuum i already know it’s going to cost 3x-4x what it should.
r/VacuumCleaners • [REVIEW] Miele Vacuums are a joke ->Odd, because their website claims in bold print that they are the west coast's largest AUTHORIZED Sebo dealer. They have been in business since the 1950's and have excellent customer service. I have purchased a Sebo and a Miele from them and have been very pleased. (They even sent me a t-shirt that says "Business has sucked for 75 years!!" My son wears it.)
r/VacuumCleaners • Reliable Online Seller for Sebo Vacuum ->Canisters aren’t better than uprights necessarily, but they tend to be more versatile with hard and mixed flooring. Most uprights have a cleaning head fixed to the machine that can’t be changed to match the flooring you are cleaning. A head with a spinning brush roll isn’t as effective as a head that has a no obstructions (like a brush roll) and a straight air path for hard floors. a cleaning head with a spinning brush roll to agitate is needed for carpets and rugs. On a canister you can change between these two types of cleaning heads to get the most effective cleaning possible. Canisters also leave the bulky pieces of the vacuum behind you, giving you a more nimble lightweight wand and hose to reach into nooks and crannies a bulky upright couldn’t like under beds and furniture or around tight corners. The ELI5 version: Imagine your vacuum has a special “foot” for different floors. Some “feet” have a spinning brush that’s great for carpets, digging out dirt. But that same brush just scatters dirt around on hard floors when it’s spinning or gets in the way when it’s not. Canister vacuums let you change “feet” easily, so you always have the right one. Upright vacuums usually only have the carpet “foot”. Also, canisters are like pulling a little wagon, the heavy part stays behind, so it’s easier to move the hose and get into tight spots. While SEBO and Miele are talked about a ton here, they are premium machines that don’t land in the budget of many people, I say this as a SEBO owner. They’re long lasting and very effective cleaners (buy once cry once). You can absolutely get effective cleaning from a less expensive machine. Your home and needs sounds like the Kenmore 600 series would work really well. It comes with a powered hand tool called the pet powermate that is amazing for furniture and stairs.
r/VacuumCleaners • Explain like I'm five what vacuum to Buy? ->The advantage to something like a Sebo, and to a slightly lesser extent Miele, is that you are buying a product that has exceptional build quality and is highly repairable should the need arise.
r/VacuumCleaners • Best vacuum for allergies? Does it really need to cost $1300? ->Yup, these original Dyson's were incredibly reliable for the most part. I think the first one in my family lasted close to 14 years before it finally died. The second was about 12-13 years old as well. Dyson's are not bad today, they just are not that good anymore, and not as reliable. For reliability you're definitely going to want a Sebo or Miele.
r/VacuumCleaners • My original Dyson lasted me 19 years. Are Dysons any good still? Or should I switch to a Sebo? Have carpet upstairs and on the stairs. Roomba takes care of the tIle downstairs. ->Get a Sebo. Literally any Sebo.
r/BuyItForLife • These are the most recommended vacuum cleaners on Reddit (r/VacuumCleaners VS others) as of Jan 2025 ->auth sebo dealers its 10 years if you go in store. well worth supporting your local business and way better value for money over miele
r/VacuumCleaners • Here's why you should buy a Sebo ->Sebo. Had mine 25 years and all its needed is a new brush head.
r/AskUK • What is the best hoover brand that you have had/experienced? ->Sebo. It’s the new Electrolux. I went from electrolux (40 years of service, inherited from my mom) which was amazing, to a Miele (20 years of service, inherited from step mom) to a Dyson Animal. The Dyson lasted 12 years before I got sick of it. I bought a Sebo! I’m 58 and I won’t need another vacuum before I die.
r/homeowners • Best (cost/performance) vacuum cleaner? ->Sebo. The suck on it. Phowar
r/AskUK • What is the best hoover brand that you have had/experienced? ->I love my Sebo!
r/CatAdvice • Can someone recommend me some a good vacuum to buy that can actually handle my 3 cats hair?! ->Have a Dyson pet cordless for quick vacs and was going to get a Miele but have a Sebo and I love it! Also used in the Royal Household.
r/CatAdvice • Can someone recommend me some a good vacuum to buy that can actually handle my 3 cats hair?! ->I've been waiting for a review on this, thank you!! Yeah this machine is too cheap to pay for repairs if something goes wrong. If you absolutely have to have a budget/mid-range canister, this will do, but I think it's worth spending more for a SEBO or Miele that will last longer and perform better
r/VacuumCleaners • Why the Kenmore 600 vacuum is a Paper Tiger ->I loved telling people how much research I did and how confident I am with my SEBO. I truly think it will last me 20+ years and deliver great performance over that period. It's nice to own things that won't break often and are worth fixing when they do
r/VacuumCleaners • Sebo Family ->Exactly. I got a Sebo and the bag takes months before it starts to get filled enough to impact the suction. And can easily go another month before it is that filled that it needs replacing.
r/VacuumCleaners • Do you recommend the bagless Miele vacuum cleaners if I have dust mite allergy? ->They are both excellent choices and I don't think you'd be let down by either. I went with Sebo bc the vacuum store guy who does all the repairs recommended it. He did not say anything bad about Miele though.
r/VacuumCleaners • What do you recommend Miele or Sabo? ->I have a Sebo and really like it, but just generally would recommend a bagged vacuum over a bagless upright. They seem convenient, but after years of using a dyson, it's so NICE to throw the bag of stinky (I have a golden retriever XD) dog hair into the trash and not have it funking up the whole vacuum, forever. Completely pulling apart and having it professionally serviced never got all the doggy smell out of the dyson. Newer dysons are also absolute junk compared to a dyson from 10-15 years ago.
r/samoyeds • Ok fellow Samoyed owners, what vacuum do you use? ->Yes, bagless is seen as more economical and more environmental friendly. Although the environmental friendly argument falls apart because it's better to own a bagged sebo vacuum for 10+ years than it is to keep replacing a crappy bagless vacuum every three to four years. I'm not a fan of buying bags, but the sebo cleans better than every other vacuum I've tried. It's also convenient to just throw away a bag as well.
r/VacuumCleaners • Why Are Bagged Vacuums Making a Comeback? ->I cannot overstate how much I love my Sebo. Does great on tile, wood, and carpet. Lightweight, effective, and put my Dyson Animal to shame. Does fantastic with dog hair.
r/VacuumCleaners • Best vacuum for huge house, hardwood + 5000 sqft rug/carpet ->I'm a professional cleaner. Shark 100%. Dyson and Sebo do similar but they're more expensive. Sebo has a HEPA filter in it.
r/torties • Vaccume cleaner suggestions SPECIFICALLY for pet hair? ->This exactly. We kept our Dyson and use it liked you’d use a Dustbuster. Quick crumb cleanup, sand from the beach, etc. but for cleaning your house you want something better, especially bc the filtration on the Dyson is garbage and dust on the air is not good for you or baby. I went with a Sebo and the filtration is great
r/VacuumCleaners • Are there any cordless sticks worth it? ->I have a Sebo. They're made in germany and definitely a buy it for life item. Mine has a 10 year warranty and can be services at your local vacuum store. I use mine basically every day.
r/torties • Vaccume cleaner suggestions SPECIFICALLY for pet hair? ->When I moved from bagless vacuums to a Miele and a Sebo you'll notice how strong the suction is and how quiet it is compared to the average bagless vacuum. The materials are thicker and nicer. With Sebos I really like how much I can take it apart and replace almost anything myself. Do try one out in person first, many people prefer uprights to canisters. I grew up with Kenmore canister vacuums so I didn't have to adjust how I vacuum.
r/VacuumCleaners • My first "luxury" vacuum and I went all in. I'm smitten ->Our Sebo pulls malamute hair out of carpet. Absolutely worth it. Also has dual hepa rated filters.
r/BuyItForLife • These are the 25 most recommended vacuum cleaners on Reddit (based on 1,821 users, in the past year) wdyt? ->I love our SEBO. They work well and the lower end ones are not super pricey.
r/homeowners • Best house vacuum ->Miele has alotta twisty bullshit that probably wouldn't like it but that sebo should have no problem, might have something stuck inside that the hair wraps around and plugs it up, went 4 weeks with a toothpick in my shop vac hose before I got the fucker out
r/VacuumCleaners • What is an inexpensive/cheap vacuum or vacuum tool I can buy for haircuts and dryer lint? ->Sebo or Miele. Getting embedded sand out of carpet is all about suction power. Cordless vacs just don't have enough power.
r/VacuumCleaners • Best vacuum for getting litter pieces out of carpet? ->I just asked about how often I’d be buying bags for a sebo with two high shedding large dogs, (similar probably too a gsd and 3 (if long hair cats) I would probably be replacing the bag every week. (Actually more than that because I didn’t tell people I also have 3 cats haha) Someone with a husky commented that they replace the bag 1.5-2 times a month. Calculating that cost for two dogs is another 210 a year in bags (probably more for me) I am taking that into account with replacing a vacuum that died (Dyson) but it doesn’t have a bag or a Sebo that has a 10 year warranty but I will have probably bought 2-3 dysons in that time period with the amount I’d be spending on bags. I haven’t decided yet 🙃 but thought I’d share the numbers.
r/VacuumCleaners • Need recommendations for a decent vacuum cleaner ->A Sebo could survive longer. I've seen Sebos go through tons of shit and still perform like new. Not to trash on Miele, Miele's are great vacuums, and I would recommend them. But a Sebo is blowing the Miele out of the water with durability in a commercial setting.
r/BuyItForLife • I analyzed the 25 most recommended vacuum cleaners on reddit ->Look, I love Kenmore, but they are expensive to repair and they no longer make my roller brush. The 2 brushes I did buy were $200. I could’ve bought a Sebo for the price of the vacuum and two roller brushes. Sebo vacuums are cheaper to repair and just better all around.
r/VacuumCleaners • Best vacuum for pet hair in 2025? Need something that actually sucks (in a good way) ->Do you have a dealer nearby? go try them, Sebo for the win in my book, I had so many issues with Miele during covid and for few years after, parting out hoses and wands to other companies
r/VacuumCleaners • What is the best BIFL vacuum cleaner ->Those Sebo and Miele vacuums last fucking forever so there ya go.
r/BuyItForLife • These are the 25 most recommended vacuum cleaners on Reddit (based on 1,821 users, in the past year) wdyt? ->Sebo and Miele are BIFL. Dyson is not BIFL. If you buy a Sebo, the manual comes with an exploded parts diagram where you can buy each and every part. Dyson does not have this because when something breaks, they want you to buy a new vacuum. Same goes for Shark, Bissell and other bagless garbage that people keep recommending.
r/BuyItForLife • These are the most recommended vacuum cleaners on Reddit (r/VacuumCleaners VS others) as of Jan 2025 ->My Sebo has been going without problems for 20 years now
r/BuyItForLife • I analyzed the 25 most recommended vacuum cleaners on reddit ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
