Thanks to Jon who flagged this up on the UK group on FB.
Sebo in Germany have at last released details on the E series cylinder/canister vac. As reported by a few other members on here, there are three models E1, E1 Parquet and E3Premium. For the moment other sites in Europe have yet to list the new range. A range of 700 watt models appears to be available as well as higher 1200 watt models. CLICK HERE TO GO TO sebo_fan's LINK

Looking forward to it arriving over here.Hopefully next month. I have a feeling it's going to overtake my Miele S8 as my favourite Cylinder. |

I think, given the slight disappointment that some owners have already had with these "new" 700/800 watt vacs appearing on the market, that it makes sense to go for last remaining stock of the old. Dont get me wrong, whilst I think the SEBO E probably has a lot to offer, at least they are releasing 1200 watt models which Id be more interested in than the lower motor option.

Are people disappointed with the 700 watt motors? What about the Sebo eco D4 and Felix? |

From what I read, there's a real mix online of love/loathe with both Miele and SEBO vacuums with the lower motors. A few report that the highest suction has to be increased to get powerful suction power - but I personally don't know whether this is the owner just not realising how powerful both German brands are and their associated products.
It would stand to reason that there would be more pull with a smaller dust bag on board with either 1200 watts or 700/800 watts in either Miele's S6 or the SEBO E. |

Bloody ignorant UKIP supporters. We're safer in the EU than we are out of it.
The forced lowering of vacuum wattages has been an incredibly welcome change to the market and the most interesting and significant shake up we've seen to the vacuum world in 20 years. Machines were getting more and more powerful but not getting better at actually cleaning. Increasing the motor wattage was a cheap way for lazy manufactuers to get around doing any real R&D and a cheap way of launching a "new" cleaner that was just a rehash of the previous model.
You have to remember, whilst the motor wattage has to be lower, the cleaning performance also has to meet a certain standard.
Manufacturers as well as customers just need some time to get used to it. Those of us who remember the introduction of energy ratings on washing machines will remember the highest rated machine in the first batch of energy labels was a C rated wash. Now they're pretty much all A rated.
Remember when Dyson first hit the market and everyone was making bagless vacs? There were some horrendous vacuums on the market - some real dust leakers and cloggers. But within a few years, this settled down too.
It's the same thing with the new regulations. The legislation is not at fault, the manufacturers and the public just need to get used to new ways of doing things. |

Been reading the Daily Mail much, Marcus? Do you have any idea how much money being in the EU brings IN, how much protection it gives us and how much trade we can do being part of it?
And if you're voting UKIP, yes, you're ignorant. They're a single policy party with no clue how to run a country. Immigration is NOT the biggest issue in our country right now. What's UKIP's policy on education, transport, employment, the NHS, taxes, welfare, diversity? THAT's what needs to be addressed - the issues that affect our daily lives! Under UKIP, everything would crumble because they don't have a manifesto on such things.
And anybody representing a party who has actively expressed that they want to fight AGAINST same sex marriage, doesn't even deserve to be part of a society in 2015. Get with the times!
If you want this country to turn into Nazi Germany part 2, be my guest, vote away. |

Thank god!! :P
There's far bigger issues that need to be addressed, other than the EU. And on balance, whether you're pro-EU or against, I would advise against voting UKIP purely because they're a single policy party. Being in or out of the EU won't affect my daily life. I'd rather vote for a party that's addressing the daily struggles that people are facing, for example healthcare, state pensions, taxes, employment, housing, education, transport etc. |

LOL, you know, it's funny you should say that, I was talking about them just the other day!
I'm with you on the Tories, although this Tory government has been one of the better ones we've had. David Cameron has actually made some smart moves during his time.
Being from a Northern, working class background I'm tradionally a Labour supporter, but...Ed Milliband? Really? Is that the BEST they could do? |

I've tried the new Eco 700 watt Felix Vogue in John Lewis I thought it was quite powerful slightly quieter for 700 watts. You could feel the airflow with the brush bar at the head. One thing I noticed is the lack of hot air coming out of the fabric post motor filter which I thought was better. I would replace my current 1300 watt motor Felix with one when the time comes.
Not tried any of the other Eco models yet. Be interested to see what the X series is like but that shouldn't be noticeable surely! It only dropped by 200 watts from 1300 to 1100 watts for the X4 and 50 watts for the X1.1 from 1150 to 1100 watts if that's correct! I can't see much difference if there wasn't any as such between the non Eco X1.1 and X4 so the new Eco models of 1100 watts should be fine! |

Also has proper round connector on the T shape upholstery tool at the back by the crevice tool opening, proper flap added dust bag; a more conventional way of placement etc.

I like the look of the upholstery nozzle and the fact you don't have to use it with the crevice tool. I will certainly be getting the powerhead model but hope it will be white for the UK market as the black Sebo vacs I've owned showed every little scratch. |

There are actually five models altogether. This pic is from SEBO Poland.
The baseline "red" E1 in Germany has a 700 watt motor and then the E3 Premium model.

Thanks for posting the brochure and info sebo_fan. The new E series does look a nice vacuum cleaner. the Airbelt looks deeper and slightly more flush to the machine looking at the pictures. I see the electric power wand, handle, hose picture doesn't show the little connector cable. Probably not changed.

Lets try and keep politics out of this forum please, but turbo500, don't be so damn disrespectful and judgemental. I am a UKIP voter, I don't read the daily mail and I do believe we should get out of the EU, as do over half of the population in the UK if a referendum were held today (look it up, Yougov pol)I am not anti European, my late father was German and he and nearly every German I have met have the same viewpoint. Anti-EU is not uncommon now. Come to peace with it.
Marcus, I have a Sebo Felix eco with the 700 watt motor and I have found that the pick up performance is identical to the standard felix. The new motor in the eco apparently has more blades. It is quitter and produces substantially less heat than the 1300 watt model. All in all it is a nice improvement. The litres per second rating on both the 1300 and 700 watt models are identical. Apparently Sebo had this motor for a long time before these EU regulation were even proposed, but people would be discouraged from buying a lower watt motor, simply because the numbers are smaller. |

Oh? That's interesting to know. As far as I know SEBO always had the 1300 watt model planned for their commercial model first (Dart) before the Felix was designed for the domestic market. Secondly the X1.1 is the only model in the UK that features a lower motor - sales have been healthy for the X1.1, so I can't see that a lower motor would have been a problem in the Felix. |

Thank you Oliveoil if the Felix 700 watt gives a similar performance to the 1300 watt Felix that is good news indeed! :) |

I'm glad about that. White is the best colour for hiding any scratches. Hope to get one in February, it depends on finances. |

All of the E models have an automatic temperature control. If the machine is too hot the colour of the on/off button will change from blue to red. If the light is continuously red the power will be automatically reduced; if it flashes red it is because the vacuum has shut off due to over heating or a blockage. There's also a piston valve bag indicator.
Other interesting factor is that there are two filters as normal on this vacuum like the outgoing K series but SEBO offer a more conventional filter behind the bag like other cylinder vacs PLUS a new fleece hospital grade filter that seems to require to be unfolded from the back of the vacuum. Im not sure if the bag is an open texture or just a stitched fabric, but it is very intriguing in terms of how it is worded and shown in the user manual. CLICK HERE TO GO TO sebo_fan's LINK

Lets just say for this new 700 watt E1 it is slightly quieter than the K1 Eco 700. Video soon.
