Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

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.

Yep, the UK site will not be updated soon, as far as the MD told me. Germany, UK and America will be the first three to get the D series and then other countries including France will get the D series.

Why wouldn't the U.K site be updated soon if they're one of the first countries to get it?! Makes no sense to me. Any ideas? :P

For heavens sake Hertz, you might take into consideration that SEBO aren't a big company. The UK website will have an update later in the year and I suspect when Sebo UK update their website they will do it in their own time. You don't need all countries to have an updated site when the home company in Germany already has the D series on display and in English display options too. Compared to Miele, Sebo are still a small private company and they only have some financial reserves for updating websites etc.

The following link is to the new Ds user manual.  It's written in English and German.

It appears there's lotsof filtering area offered.

Thanks Venson.  2100 Watts.  Wow.  I have to believe Procare on this.  The 220 v in Europe lends itself to the high horsepower motors.  Not sure that can translate equally to US 110.

To bad that doesn't translate into much airflow.  According to their specs, 43-45 l/s, that  is about 90 CFM. 

I wonder what the suction rating is??

My thoughts EXACTLY! This is what I've been wondering, too.

SEBO's D series are now available to view on the UK site. Unlike Germany however the UK will only sell 2100 watt models in four trims: Storm, Titan, Total and Premium.

It has already got a seal of approval from GHI who rates it "powerful and very effective filter efficiency."
