Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

If you like the SEBO upright, then I would suggest that you purchase it.  Make sure it meets all of you needs.  You said that you have alot of carpeting.  It filters well and the bags will not cost as much as Miele.  SEBO vacuum cleaners are very reliable, like Miele.   Am I correct in assuming that you are not in North America?

You may be confused about vacuum cleaners and Carpet washers(Steam cleaners/Extractors in the U.S.)  Vacuum cleaners are used on a regular basis like once a week.  They pick up dirt debris like hair, dirt, etc.  Carpet washers are used occasionally, like once or twice a year.  They are used after you first vacuum.  It then loosens and picks up any hidden soil and grime attached to the carpeting.  The machine applies a cleaning solution, scrubs the carpeting, then sucks the dirt solution up into a tank.  You should not use a Carpet washer instead of a vacuum cleaner.  If you have carpeting, it would be beneficial to always have a vacuum cleaner.
