Carmine, I do enjoy these conversations (much of the time), when you are right I have no problem saying so. DIB
Who makes that determination? You? The dyson fans? Me? Let me know, I want to meet the person.
The truth is the truth, regardless if no one believes it. A falsehood is false even if everyone believes it. Carmine D.

DC, You're saying this auto-height adjustment (non-motorized) still requires a manual switch? Thanks. DIB DIB Sorry misread your point, the Sebo Felix is fully manual height adjustment no auto involved! Be interesting to see how a non-motorized auto height adjustment mechanisium works! DC18

Thanks. I read a Sebo patent that said it had a non-motorized auto height adjustment mechanisium. Sebo said one of the advantages to non-motorized was that motorized was problematic due to motor failure or alike. Have you or anyone ever seen a Sebo non-motorized height adjustment? DIB Hi DIB, Add the Sebo G3 to the list of manual height adjusted units. It's basically a commercial version of the X4 series. Odd about the problem of motor failure..I think I've only ever replaced one of the servo units in all the time we've carried Sebo. Dusty

You Guys are getting a little warmer,take a look at the sebo,X series,the windsor commercial machine,the aerus/electrolux legacy/commercial upright,The lindhaus powerhead,the wessel works ebk series powerheads, even the old centec 600 series powerhead,they are very similar in the way they are set up. As far as i know electrolux started this trend with the PN1,back in 1960.........They are now in their seventh series powerheads, Simply stated the aerus/electrolux powerhead and attachments can not be touched.Often copied but never duplicated, Aerus/electrolux is the ICON of vacuums. You are free to challenge me any time you want to about it................ MOLE |

One thing I like about the Sebo X4 automatic motorised height adjustment apparently it takes into consideration brush ware on the brush bar. Only thing you can't do with the X4 is turn the brush bar off! Well not on the UK models! DC18 Can't turn it off on US / CDN models either. That said, it doesn't seem to really matter as all the Sebo's perform well on hard surface. Dusty

DIB: From dyson product literature: A dyson vacuum cleaner has excellent dirt pick-up from ALL surfaces-not just carpets. It doesn't say except some. In fact it's one of 4 reasons dyson says customers should buy dysons. Well, Dusty: Mr. Wordsmither, what do you think when dyson uses the collective ALL versus me? Gets a pass? Like LNT and BBB? Carmine D. In this case I would take the statement to mean bare floors, something the majority of uprights fail at. As far as Dyson using "All" as opposed to you, the difference is clear. Dyson told you the vacuum wouldn't work on your particular carpet and to bring it back...they admitted it would not do the job. You on the other hand refuse to admit much of anything when it's pointed out you are incorrect and instead pump out posts with answers to questions that were never even asked. You said, once again that height adjustments were the standard on ALL USA vacuums. That wasn't true. If you'd just said you were incorrect and then claimed it's standard on most uprights this conversation would have been over 4 pages ago. I am curious to your thoughts, nowhere on the Oreck website does it state that the XL21 is not recommended for shag carpets. If everyone in the Oreck stores knows this and sells away from it shouldn't it also be on the website? Dusty
