Nice new SEBO D4 Premium Eco you have there. Do like that model. How you finding the new 700 watt Eco motor in it? Bet the 6 litre bags will last a while. The ET-1 power head is great at carpet cleaning, mine on my Felix is yet to have a new brush bar after 7 years use. Brush turfs still protrude the soleplate.

That is great to hear. The Sebo is AWESOME! I'm looking forward to the E Series which should be available beginning of next year :) |

The exposed wire is one of the weaknesses of the D4 and K3 premium. You just have to be careful with it I guess. It is covered by the warranty. But it would be better if the cable wasn't exposed. |

And the pre motor filter to allow for maximum air flow pulling from the top is genius and a very good exhaust filter. It's very well designed. |

Me too :) The ONLY thing I would change or add to this machine would be a headlight on the power brush. The LED headlight on the Kirby is very handy and helps point out things in dark corners ect... would of been a nice touch to add one on the Sebo |

It is compact. I think it's a 3.5 litre bag. It's a little bigger than the K series. Ideal for a small to medium size home. I quite like it :-) |

Thanks matt8808 for answering my question. Great to know the new Eco 700 watt motor is well suited and the performance is ok and there is less heat coming off it. Should make the new 700 watt Felix's well suited to the lower watt motor too then. I don't use my Felix on full 1300 watt power only half to 3/4 power for carpet cleaning and half for tool cleaning. May use full power when bag is nearly full that's the only time.
I agree with you there matt8808 with regards to replacement parts being cheaper and easily replaceable on the SEBO D4 Premium or any SEBO for that matter. I would like a D series and it would be this model as I like the ET-1 power head for carpet cleaning but I do love my Felix. Would like a X series though! Enjoy your new SEBO. That is s picture of the new E series on the Germany website. Not sure if it will sit in between the D and K or eventually replace the K series. No official info on it yet but it is a more compact cylinder compared to the D series. |

Even better sell the Kirby and just use the Sebo. So much easier :-) |

I'm with you Sebo fan :-) But I'd have the E series when it's available. |

And that miele C3 Complete is £600 they're not gonna sell many of those in the UK at that price specially as the Sebo is nearly half the price! What are Miele thinking? |

Very nice vacuum cleaner. I had one before my felix, but because my house is multi-story and full of corner and such, it was a bit of a lump to manoeuvre, although the performance and build quality was typically SEBO - incredible. Although I had a suction leak near the bag full indicator, it used to whistle badly, form new as well, but that would have been just my one I guess. Same power nozzle as the felix of course, meaning it is one of the best in the business.
What I also love about SEBO's and what makes them the best bagged vacuums in my opinion is the filtration quality and the bags being inexpensive. Also, the suction on this model comes from the top of the bag meaning it should loose very little suction as it fills, that's what I found with my one, although it was the 2,400 model, although the difference shouldn't be a great deal in terms of suction. Glad you like it my friend ! |

The Airbelt is acutually damp cloth washable, so any minor scuffs can usually be wiped off (as I have found).
Bosch copied SEBO on the AirBelt idea with their AirBumper on their Free"e"/BSGL5 series, but only covers the side of the machine and it isn't as effective. Infact on mine, the plastic was inclined to get pretty badly scraped. |

Here's an old archive thread link on here www.vacuumland.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-... (or if it doesn't work, click the link.)
I experimented with a standard round torch and a SEBO K1 tool clip which clips onto the plastic-metal telescopic tube (since it was designed to clip to either K1 tube or K3 Premium tube same as the one supplied with the D4 Premium.) You can just make out the torch I added to the tube! CLICK HERE TO GO TO sebo_fan's LINK
