Essential G4 Upright Vacuum

Yes and easy to unclog if pine needles do it in

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?

The Essential G4. I figured if I’m trying to get 20 years out of it that the added electronics and motors for the height adjustment probably weren’t the best idea. I only have 2 carpet heights, each on their own floor so turning a knob isn’t a big deal.

I bought a Sebo last year. It was one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. I have blueair air purifiers throughout my house. They will go nuts as soon as a broom touches the floor because they can sense the particulates. I can vacuum around them with the Sebo and they don’t register any change in air quality, at all. I would also highly recommend blueair air purifiers. They are highly effective. I had a contractor come over yesterday to bid on some drywall work. I could mildly smell cigarette smoke on him. Not enough to really notice. The blueair units went nuts as soon as he walked into the room.

I tell people about my Sebo all the time.

I’d recommend the SEBO G4. It’s extremely durable and offers a few more features than the 300 Mechanical. It’ll likely be the best vacuum you’ve ever used. The only drawback is that it’s not ideal for hard floors, since the brush roll can’t be turned off. For those areas, you’ll want to use the extension hose and attachments. That said, the G4 lets you manually adjust the brush height, so you can raise it to its highest setting if you occasionally need to vacuum a hard floor — giving the least chance of damaging the surface. The SEBO X7 is also an excellent option. It automatically raises and lowers the head based on the surface it detects, which is convenient but takes away the manual control you get with the G4. The SEBO Felix is another good vacuum. While it isn’t built to the same commercial-grade durability as the G4, 300 Mechanical, or X7, it’s more versatile because it can handle both carpet and hard floors. It may just require a little extra care when vacuuming.

$400 is good, I think. Comes with a separate floor attachment which is great. This setup will work great on floors and carpet. It has the best filtration too, so your allergies will be better. I paid $400 for an X5 which is similar to the G4 without the floor attachment and that was good deal. So yours will be an even better deal. Just make sure to lay the machine down when using the hose with or without attachments. The brush roll on the machine doesn’t stop. It could scratch floors. The floor attachment doesn’t have a powered brush roll, so you are fine.

The G4 is an awesome machine and that is a good deal.

Hoover Convertibles don't tend to "die". I'd be trying to figure out what actually caused it to stop working. But, to echo other commenters, if you're looking for a quality replacement vac (and a huge upgrade), check out SEBO. OTOH, if you are looking for the closest new replacement available today, it would be a Sanitaire. You could still get the Convertible platform as a Hoover "Guardsman" up until fairly recently, but it is gone now.

First of all don't get the tenant, also wouldn't recommend the kirby's (although they're better than lots of bagless machines) because they're direct air and filtration is one layer. Sebo would be a good choice because they're clean air bagged hepa machines which are most ideal for an allergy sufferer like me. I literally use a Eureka Powerline bagged (lite speed style) with clean obsessed hepa bags and a regularly replaced hepa exhaust and allergies have been gone!
