DC18

I wonder what SEBO has install for the coming year for 2013! I see in the UK they are becoming more prominent in Retail Stores than ever before which is good to see. I never thought I'd say this but I'm glad I've gone back to 'bags' after many years of being bagless! Lot less messy with a bag too!

I've not really had any pet smells coming from my SEBO Felix to notice since we have a dog! The model I believe was the SEBO Felix 1 Premium - picture was the white and navy one! They gave it a best buy and strangely part of the cons was it noisy!! I don't find my particularly noisy! I know what you mean about Which! Will try the new style bags once I have finished with the paper ones!

Dyson has in the last few days launch the DC46 in Japan that is another version of the DC36DC38 with 32 Cyclones - in a double decker formation making it Dyson's most powerful root cyclone technology 360,000 G! The 2 new models in the DC46 range are on Dyson's Japan website, one comes with a motorhead and the other a turbine head. It also features the new 'tangle' free mini turbine head! I wonder if the US andor the UK will have a version of this or if it will appear on an upright version! Was a nice surprise to find as I was only searching the new DC44DC45 Digital Slim model to research some information on these models and came across this one!

I see in the latest Which Report that they tested a SEBO Felix and the filtration didn't score to well for allergen retention! Not sure why as I have a SEBO Felix Classic which I have had for 5 years now and can say you can never smell the dust from the bag and even the pet hairs now I have a dog! That is without the charcoal filter they now do and using paper bags not the new style ones and I have not got the fresh capsule in at present either! Not sure where Which are coming from! What was a very now surprise was one of my local big Curry Superstores now has a SEBO vacuum stand within the vacuum cleaner area, with a SEBO Banner 'We love SEBO'. They have a SEBO branded carpet mat and have on display the Felix Vogue and Pet models, the X4 Pet (which they had on display before on its own!) and the pet versions of the K & D Series (no hose or tube to test though). Least they now have a proper stand which was fab to see. Was quite surprised how light the D Series canister is! Would have loved to have seen more SEBO models on display but least it is a start!

I think the new website for SEBO Germany is very good really like it, nicely laid out and informative. I'm still having a good look around it! Love the pictures especially the close up ones! So vacmanuk you've sold your SEBO X4 and X1.1 and now have a X1, I do see a few X1's on ebay recently. So your liking your SEBO X1 then? Sounds like you prefer it over the other X models? I'm looking at getting an X4 but still keeping my Felix. Like the idea of the convenience of the wand and hose on the X Series do miss not having a wand and hose combination on board. Be interesting to see what's new in the future from the SEBO stable.
