Good Evening,
 
The only thing I really hate about my Sebo C3.1 Canister Vacuum is the triangle shapped dusting brush - The bristles are too soft and end up being pulled into the opening, blocking the opening and causing a huge dust ball to form as you clean.
 
I can not seem to find another dusting brush to fit the end of the hose handle - Is this hose end a unique size to Sebo ??? If so, does anyone make an adapter to allow you to use 1-1/4" or 35mm standard tools ???? Can anyone tell me what size the hose end is ???
 
Thanks,
 
Dan

Miele and Sebo both get their basic airhoses from the same supplier, Plastiflex.  Their handle and wand fittings vary somewhat, though.  
 
Sebo's C.3.1 tools (or at least the ones I have seen) lock on to the end of the wand, while Miele uses friction fit.
 
Should also add the Miele round dusting brush has exactly the same problem as the Sebos - its brushes get sucked into the brush center and drastically cut air flow.

Hello Dan:
 
Are any of these 3 vacuum cleaner stores authorized SEBO dealers?  Did you purchase your SEBO AirBelt 3.1 from a bricks and mortar store/Web?
 
The condition you describe for the dusting brush is very common for "cheaply" made tools.  I can't help but think SEBO dealers have an inexpensive solution that would work for this.

Hi Dan:
 
It doesn't look good for the home team[SEBO].
 
When you say the dusting brush SEBO dealers proposed is larger can you be more specific:  Are the bristles the same length, shorter, longer?  Softer hair/stiffer than the one that collapsed?

The SEBO uses a different sized diameter attachment compared to other European machines.  You will not find an adaptor for it, yet.  If the brand becomes more popular, I believe you will find adaptors.
 
SEBO uses both snap on attachments and friction-fit.
 
I have not found the SEBO dusting brush to be too bad.  Lint, etc. can get caught in the center, but the tool's bristles are soft.  Compare it w/ some other brands like Fuller Brush, HOOVER, dyson, Panasonic uprights,etc. and you will find that SEBO has a softer brush.
 
A good brush will use long, natural-hair bristles that are spaced far apart from the attachment's suction inlet.  This inlet, that keeps the bristles out of the way, should also be made out of a soft material.  Another plus would be that the whole attachment would be made out of a soft material.  This can be found on the deluxe Eureka dusting brush that first came out in the late 50's.  The Electrolux combination tool is also very good.  The Filter Queen and Royal dusting brush also fit the bill for a very good brush.  The Kenmore/Panasonic canister dusting brush has also done very well.  Panasonic has since downsized the brush and made it a combination tool.
