I have a Miele C3 which is similar to the Alize and I love it! And you can upgrade to an electrified hose and wands later - there is a little plug cover right near the hose port that comes off to reveal the outlet for the electrified hose.
Consumer Reports has not tested the Sebo D4, but it rated the Alize as the best suction-only canister among all vacs tested. The Alize received an "Excellent" score for Bare Floor Cleaning, Air-Flow through the hose for tool use, noise suppression, and air filtration. I chose the Miele over the Sebo because I loved the SpotLight handle! Also, I prefer having the small tools stored inside rather than on the rear of the machine. |

The Miele turbo head (or any turbo head) is great if you have very low pile carpet like commercial carpet used in office buildings other then that you'll need a power nozzle. I do have a Turbocat EX that goes with my central vacuum which works great on any pile carpet providing the motor is strong enough to pick up the debris & keep it spinning fast enough also contrary to popular belief is does not screach or scream loudly when it's used its the new version of it, not the older ones. Either machine is great as I have both, it's up to you whichever fits your cleaning needs. Happy hunting

Eww yuck berber I had that in my home before it's vertually indestructible unless you pull a loop then watch it unravel around the beater bar which I've done before. A turbo nozzle or just straight suction works best on that kind of carpet or a set of very soft bristles on the beater bar. Like I said its up to you, they're both good machines, the Miele has short hoses on some models & small tools which don't bother me as long as it does the job. I've got the Felix Premium to some yes it is akward when you use the short hose but it does a great job on carpets & floors too. Long cord also 40ft. Am thinking about getting a canister too as they're piquing my interest all of a sudden LOL

I find the Miele AirTeq carpet nozzle to work very well on low pile carpet. My Miele did not come with a turbo nozzle so I can't give any advice on how well it will clean your thicker rugs. I have paired my Miele C3 with a lightweight Hoover Platinum bagged upright which is excellent for deep carpet cleaning.

Ah yes, if you could get it cheaper from a store, than doing that was the way to go. Interesting, I thought Sebos were the same price no matter where you got them, I guess dealers are allowed to give discounts. I think you will be very happy with it, it sounds like you are getting the airbelt D4, that should be a very nice vacuum for sure. |

Glad you like your new vacuum. Am curious to know something - how many watts is your Sebo D4? Over here in Europe it is now sold as 700w so was wondering if it's the same over there. |
