Essential G Series

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 tell people about my Sebo all the time.

$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.

We clean commercial and residential properties professionally, my input would be: depending on your type of carpet of course, always go for a upright vacuum that has a carpet pile brush in order to lift the pile of carpet and 'rake up' pet hair. We use Sebo vacuums, they are pricier but last many years if looked after. A Sebo G4-G5 will do just great, I have one in my home as well and deals with pet hair quite easily. Do NOT buy a drum vacuum, you will be spending more time trying to brush the hairs out the carpet than its worth.

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.
