Here's my 2c between Sebo and Miele I'd usually take Sebo? Why? Warranty! Most miele models have a 7/7/1 warranty meaning the motors and body casings have a 7 year warranty while the other components like your hose and wands have a 1 year warranty. There are two exceptions to this which would be the brilliant and the C3 homecare+ which is a dealer exclusive both have a 10/10/5 warranty. But the brilliance runs at 1499. Sebo's warranty is 7/5/5 7 years on the motor 5 on non-wear parts 5 on labor. The marin has the 7/7/1 warranty. So comparing the two Sebo has the better warranty. The cost of bags and filters will be less and the hose is longer on the Sebo.
In terms of filtration i'd give the edge to Miele. Hepa filtration is slightly better than S class filtration, but either would be just fine. Quality? Sebo definitely feels more solid. I think you should also take a look at the Riccar Prima or Simplicity Wonder tandem air canisters. They have a 10/5 warranty 10 on the body 5 on components I also feel their performance, on carpet, is better than Miele or Sebo. Plus unlike Miele or Sebo you can purchase a handheld electric brush for cleaning upholstery stairs and cars. I can't tell you what's right for you, try them out and see what you like. I purchased a D4 a few weeks ago, choosing it over the E3. It's a very nice machine! I do prefer the carpet cleaning performance of my Wonder tandem air premium though. I'll also be getting a Miele in a few months. |

Sebo,very well built, lower cost of consumables, easier to service. Brushroll comes out with a twist. Clean hair and string replace with another twist. You can get a HEPA box for cleaner exhaust. |

Yes, you are correct, I wasn't sure if they were talking about the motor speed or turning on and off the power nozzle. With a Sebo, the power nozzle control is on the nozzle itself and the motor speed is on the hose handle. Mike |

Have not heard of best vacuum, perhaps I will check out their site, I have bought vacuums and accessories from evacuumstore.com, a very good company, they're one of the first places I go when I am looking for anything vacuum related. Mike |

Sebo K-series canister here.
I use the ET-1 ph from the Felix (when I am not using the Felix). Originally motor was 700 watt "EU" motor, but I upgraded it to genuine 1200 watt Sebo motor. Quality definitely is good, great suction, quiet and very maneuverable. ET-1 powerhead is the best ph I have used.

@tolivac when I tested it with the particle counter it was" over 9000!" Consistent results between 10,000-50,000 not zero but definitely cleaner than most machines out there. Which would put it at about a HEPA 10 level of filtration not HEPA 13 like a Miele .
@Mike811 do you think there's a big market for upgrading EU vacuum Motors? |

I think there would be market for a motor upgrades, because people aren't too happy for the 900 watt max limit in the EU. Most vacuums are 700w or under just because they make the EU-energy label look better. Problem is, that the new motors are fairly expensive and profit margin would be small. In some cases vacuums designed to have lower wattage motors, bigger motor has caused overheating issues. Sebo K-series has been originally designed to take the high wattage motors and it was safe to upgrade. In the picture you can see the difference of the 700w vs 1200w Sebo K-series motors. 1200w has turbine with more blades. 1200w motor is noticeably more powerful, but not any louder.
