Essential G1

I own a Sebo Essential G1, which has excellent suction and filtration and is easy to maintain. I've had it for more than 20 years and it's been very reliable. I prefer uprights over canisters. If I were buying another corded vacuum today, I would consider a Sebo Essential G4 or a Lindhaus Diamante 300e.

Features that I think are important: 1. Durability. Machine should stand up to hard use for a long time. 2. Serviceability. Machine should be easy to maintain and clean. In particular, it should be easy to get to the roller brush, clean it, and replace it if necessary. It should be easy to replace the bags and filters. 3. Good filtration. Keep the dust you vacuum up inside of the machine. 4. Relatively low noise. 5. Bagged. Not bagless. Easier disposal of the dirt you suck up. 6. Strong cleaning power. Lots of suction and a separately motorized head -- good for rugs/carpet. 7. Ease of use. Controls should be intuitive and properly placed. 8. Variable suction and the ability to adjust roller height. I'm a fan of Sebo uprights and own an Essential G1, which has been a reliable tool for me for many years. I also own a Lindhaus Valzer Li-On, which is a cordless bagged upright. I've only had this for a couple of months, but I use it frequently -- love the cordless freedom and solid feel. This unit came with a giant battery and I can use it for a long time on a single charge.

Stick vacuums are not ideal for whole home cleaning. They are for quick pickups, getting deep under furniture, dusting, cleaning the car -- light duty tasks. For regular cleaning, a corded bagged upright or canister is best, as you discovered. Congratulations on the D4 -- it's a magnificent machine. I have a V12, and any kind of replacement part for it is readily available on eBay or amazon. I find it to be an excellent complement to my Sebo and Lindhaus uprights.

I like Sebo the best, but the Lindhaus Aria looks interesting,

I have an Essential G1, which is much larger. No problem for me. To each their own. You have to go to the store and find out what works. It’s a personal decision.

Corded, bagged cleaners are the most sanitary, easiest to maintain, most powerful and the longest lasting. Sebo is my favorite brand, and I prefer uprights, so I would suggest the Essential G4. I have an Essential G1 which has served me well for over 20 years and is still going strong.

Mostly Sebo - Karcher - Windsor Sensor I'd say are the best commercial upright vacuums on the market. Sebo is top tier in terms of warranties. I've heard mix things with how Karcher does business. Riccar is a pretty solid vacuum. Not all of them are made in the US though. Vacuum repair shops won't hate you for bringing them in for repair. I'm not sure how well Riccar is these days for holding up to their warranties; especially commercially. I think this is a big issue in the US right now. For backpack vacuums, I like Hoover's Commercial battery powered line. And Karcher's new battery line - very light weight.

Must be the manual adjustment SEBO, the automatic does not seem to have that issue, if it is raise it up a notch

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?

I went sebo (E3) over miele due to: cheaper, better warranty, cheaper parts and repair, and sebo does one thing (make vacuums)... suprised theres no sebo dealer nearby, I recommend trying to fine one even if its a drive. Think of SEBO like volkswagen, and MIELE like BMW. the variety of responses here are proof positive of TRY BEFORE BUY I tried miele, sebo uprights, sebo felix, sebo canister. disliked the felix immediately upon trying, despite my mind leaning felix during the online research phase! I'm a total convert from upright to canister (or at least sebos version of it) but you need to assess if you can handle the quirks of a canister. downsides of a canister: 1) one more thing to keep track of (I got used to it fast, I just kick it around or pull it by the hose) 2) harder to store (pending a good solution to this...) 3) heavier to take up the stairs (but easier to actually vacuum said stairs) Upsides of the canister: 1) lighter IN HAND (the weight of the vacuum is supported by the floor, not your hand, in use). 2) cord rewind (wrapping up cords after a upright vacuum session sucks, the SEBO you just unplug and step on the retract button. 3) much easier to do top to bottom detail vacuuming (fans, vents, dusting, cabinets, walls, pictures, shelves, dusting), wand/hose mode reaches many more high places and without tipping over the upright. 4) easier to maneuver the power head. yes you gotta maneuver the canister into position, but once you do you can get that powerhead into alot more difficult to reach places (under beds, couches, rugs, tables). Easier to maneuver the canister than moving furniture. I'm over cordless due to wall to wall carpet, the time limit (good for quick pickups only), and I really dislike the cleaning/washing/emptying of bagless machines (which most cordless are). The whole reason I vacuum is to GET RID of dust, dirt and nastiness... why do I wanna go touching and breathing it later... in concentrated form, bathing in a big ol dust cloud?!
