"price of replacement parts is a huge reason i recommend sebo vacuums."
"sebo is cheaper to repair/maintain"
"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.)"

"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."
"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! ... Still I feel like 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."
"And the air smells so clean after."

"Does fantastic with dog hair."
"My Dysons kept dying on me after 2-3 years even with good maintenance because of all the pet hair that would clog them up. ... Sebo is an absolute god send if you have pets."
"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."

"put my Dyson Animal to shame."
"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."
"Miele and Sebo vacuums are really really fantastic. ... They are on a different level of ability to vacuum."

"If you're cleaning a lot of hardwood floors, I would not do Sebo uprights as they don't have a brushroll shutoff"
"I find the G4 merely adequate for most hard floors. ... If I had some delicate floors, I’d invest in a second, different machine to focus on those."

"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)"

"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."
"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."
