Sebo Airbelt D Series . . .
Original Message Jul 7, 2010 5:20 pm |

Hi, Which? magazine has just made a preliminary announcement re the Sebo D series vacuums. Bags being my preference, I was pleased to read that the D series sports a 6-liter bag (about a gallon and a half). The airbelt is a little wasted on me as I've never had problems with marring furniture. However, if it will keep the machine itself from looking like it belongs in a second-hand shop for a few years I'm all for it. Which? plans to test the D series soon. The story is here: http://www.which.co.uk/news/2010/07/new-vacs-with-bumpers-to-protect-your-furniture-219804 Venson

I paid $150 for my new XL Classic in April 2007. Still like brand new. Bought 4 more new and gifted to others who love them. Worth the price. If I could find a dozen ORECK's at junk prices I'd buy them too and fix up and gift away. Haven't yet. Carmine D. Oreck, at "junk" prices: http://losangeles.craigslist.org/wst/app/1854312519.html Check it out buddy - that must mean that Oreck is PURE crap. NO question. Your logic is undeniable; *gag* Lemme know when it clicks for you. :D :P

Oreck, at "junk" prices: http://losangeles.craigslist.org/wst/app/1854312519.html Check it out buddy - that must mean that Oreck is PURE crap. NO question. Your logic is undeniable; *gag* Lemme know when it clicks for you. :D :P Thank you. This example illustrates my point that buying junk dysons at junk prices makes you a junk dyson dealer. You posted that you paid $30 for your dyson which retails currently for $400 plus with a 5 year warranty. That's a 92.5 percent devaluation/depreciation from new prices. The ORECK is $45 [from the site you provided see picture below] and sells for $200 new with a 1-2 year warranty. That's a 77.5 percent devaluation/depreciation from current new prices. This basic ORECK XL model with no frills [doesn't have on-board tools like your dyson either] held its value higher and far better than your dyson. Dah! Your junk dyson depreciated quicker and much more than the ORECK that you called PURE crap [now that's an oxymoron]. Tell us again please.......what's that you said about dysons at junk prices? ORECK budget buyers should shop Estate Sales too for higher end ORECK models at $45-50. Estate Sale means the ORECK owners died before their ORECK's. Unlike your dyson dirty dozen. They died before the owners. That's called a yard/garage/rummage sale AKA junk sale. You bought junk dysons at junk prices. You are a dyson junk dealer. Congratulations, you have the market all to yourself. According to the AICPA* when an asset falls [depreciates] to less than 10 percent of its cost, it is considered scrap [aka junk] value.

You still don't get it; it doesn't matter what something is priced at; it still is what it is; a high quality, long lasting Dyson will beat the pants off your half-decent stick broom called an "Oreck" Most Dysons go for 1/2 - 3/4 their retail price EASY! I just happened to find a RARE deal. Live in your delusional world, not much I can do but simply tell you the facts.

I just happened to find a RARE deal. Live in your delusional world, not much I can do but simply tell you the facts. Junk/scrap vacuums at less than 10 percent of cost ready for the salvage bin are junk. China made, dyson, whatever the brand. You didn't get a rare deal. You got a rear deal. Sugarcoat your purchase anyway you like. They're junk. It is what it is. Most retailers today in the USA are advertising NEW dysons at a minimum of 20 percent off retail prices and have been for quite awhile. Plus retailers are giving customers who buy new dysons in store savings and buyer incentives like a free dyson handheld and/or free dyson attachment kits. Where you been all your life. Watching MTV? Smell the crap. See the junk. Most places pay to have junk hauled to the dump by the pallet loads. Instead, you paid them to remove it. Real shrewd deal, alright. Very rare indeed. For them. Not you. You were flimflammed big time. Plain and simple truth. Carmine D.

Well I made a little video of my Sebo D cylinder last night. Ive never made a video before and finally worked out how to do it.
See it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMgjzfLj7Uc
Cool! I have only one complaint -- I want to see the x-rated version. One with a really dirty rug.
Best, Venson

See it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMgjzfLj7Uc My new SEBO D2 Total cylinder vacuum...
2100 watts with variable suction LED control dial. Easy to release 2.1 metre hose and 12 metres of cable. Easy to release and fit 6 litre dust bag with seal cap. Easy to fit filter on top of lid (other one exists around the back) 4 castors for better travel and 3 cleaning tools on the back. Quiet in use, easier to use than Miele S5, lighter weight and no air hitting up at your face!
Thanks SEBO!
Thanks vacmanuk. Good video. V-e-r-y nice vacuum. Like the LED variable suction dial. Cordwinder would be a nice plus BUT at over 36 foot for power cord, winder would be weighty.
A comment on your vacuuming of the carpet in particular the speed of your back/forth motions. I thought you are a tad bit fast. Is this for video purposes or is that your normal speed? I know what you thinking: Everybody's a critic............ Carmine D.

I know what you thinking: Everybody's a critic............ Carmine D. LOL.. well that's the speed of the 2100 watt suction Carmine! Um.. I think its the camera since I was doing the same speed in the kitchen where you can see our old LG washing machine in the distance. The D has an auto cord rewind as standard, thank god! I don't think I could handle having to lasso up 12 metres of cord. Review now on here about it in worded form and it beats Miele S5 on many points, particularly: - Lighter weight to carry/pull along.
- Lighter tubes and lighter handle
- Longer hose
- No hot air facials
- Boxes of 8 bags compared to Miele's 4 bags.
- Filter set lasts double the amount of bags.
- Quieter than Miele's S5.
- Longer power cord than Miele or anything in the UK market presently.
