"Been using them for about four years working out in my gym, and cycling daily (45+ minutes on a bicycle outdoors)."
"I even washed them accidentally and still worked perfectly fine afterwards."
"I still have the Kirby my grandma bought brand new in 1970."

"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."
"I can't imagine having to change its bag after two or three homes! They'd have to be massive castles."
"huge bag capacity"

"I use the bagged canister design for the whole house and for every mess. Even pet hair."
"Sebo vacs with the ET-1 nozzle (adjustable suction, manual carpet height adjustment) ... Adjustable carpet height paired with adjustable suction are must have features for those types of carpet, but I like them for any type of carpet. ... to get a vacuum movable on that type of carpet, the suction has to be turned down, carpet height adjusted, and/or the suction has to be redirected through an airflow vent valve on the nozzle, to relieve some of the pressure."
"Does great on tile, wood, and carpet."

"Does fantastic with dog hair."
"it's designed so well, it's a joy to vacuum 2x daily (concrete floors/live at the beach with a long-haired GSD, I vacuum constantly)."
"it's a dream/works so well. ... I am shocked (kinda disgusted at times!) at how much it picks up."

"horrifically expensive"
"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."
"These are going to start around $600-700 unless you find one used ... That's a steep price however, and not realistic for many families."

"very heavy and cumbersome"
"That makes them clench down, and therefore makes them hard to push and pull on that type of carpet. ... it was very difficult to push on that carpet until I adjusted it."
"it ’s heavy, so it stays in the basement"

"getting stressed out about the whole process of plugging in, lifting, storing the giant Kirby and not vacuuming at all in the end."
"You do NOT want a Kirby if you have stairs - trust me."

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. ->Must be the manual adjustment SEBO, the automatic does not seem to have that issue, if it is raise it up a notch
r/VacuumCleaners • Vac too heavy ->Or the only other quality Vacuum is the SEBO you can tell them that you want one of those instead
r/VacuumCleaners • Return Advice Needed ->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
r/VacuumCleaners • Return Advice Needed ->They are having issues with their new SEB O and they are upset, these things are very rare, but they do happen
r/VacuumCleaners • Return Advice Needed ->I was in full decision paralysis by the time I got to chat with Andrea (geekvacuums). She was up late answering all my questions, answered all my concerns, and just held my hand as I tried to figure out the best decision for my home and family. I never felt pushed and I was so happy that I could support a small business while getting it shipped to me. I love our local stores but none of them provided payment options that worked for our family. For those who need these options, def research and find a small business who Sebo supports. You’ll be able to get a better warranty than their own site or Amazon - plus you can still use the warranty at your local shops even though you don’t get from there. I am so amazed at the performance of this little vacuum. I wasn’t prepared for our carpets to feel this fresh and new after vacuuming 🫣
r/VacuumCleaners • Got my Sebo today! ->The Miele electrobrush is substandard and the pieces break off, making it unusable. To replace even a tiny wheel is $55 for a single piece.
r/VacuumCleaners • Anyone not like their Miele? ->No the Miele vacuums have different warranties. The POS that I purchased unfortunately came with a 1 year warranty. Buy a SEBO instead.
r/VacuumCleaners • Anyone not like their Miele? ->Don't buy the Miele! There little pieces break and to replace a single screw or tiny wheel is $55 each. I have a Sebo (German vacuum as well), which has never broken down piece by piece like the Miele. Highway robbery! The Miele vacuums are crap.
r/VacuumCleaners • Anyone not like their Miele? ->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? ->That might do for you. I got a similar vac, a Titan fron Screwfix and have been very pleased with it. It's very noisy, as it's shop and not domestic. I bought it for dealing with various bits of dust and rubbleand ash, kept it as a general downstairs vac for floors that are brick and stone with rugs. Upstairs we have carpet and pets and I have a Sebo, but that's partly because I'm not prepared to lug the Titan up and down stairs, I need a vac on each floor. I've only used it once as a wet vac but it was very effective at that too. https://www.screwfix.com/p/titan-ttb774vac-1300w-16ltr-wet-dry-vacuum-220-240v/826kh
r/VacuumCleaners • Best vacuum in UK for these criteria? ->I like to add, SEBO is another great option. One can be more available than the other depending on location. Big thing is bagged vacuums are just better. Everyone switching to bagless was just a straight downgrade.
r/BuyItForLife • Best plug in vacuum that won’t break the bank ->It’s one of those but once cry once things. A Miele or SEBO will last much longer and do a better job than a cheaper option. It pays for itself in not having to replace it in a couple years.
r/BuyItForLife • Best plug in vacuum that won’t break the bank ->I’ve heard Miele customer support is getting to be not so great. I bought a Sebo, had it for two years, expect to have it for many more. My mom’s Miele is 10+ years old, 4 cats, 2 birds, still going like new.
r/BuyItForLife • Vacuum that won't conk out on me after 3 years ->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! ->Sebo! Not a pretty vacuum but a workhorse for the endless floof.
r/roughcollies • Vacuum suggestions? (the fur never ends) ->I should also mention that they sell replaceable parts. I was reluctant to buy such an expensive vacuum but it has been well worth it.
r/roughcollies • Vacuum suggestions? (the fur never ends) ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
