Honestly you can't go wrong with either of these canisters, both will clean very well. The Sebo power nozzle does not have a headlight which may or may not matter to you. I think the Sebo D series has a larger bag than the Prima since it's a larger canister. Again, I would have no problem suggesting either one of these. Mike |

Well I've got a Simplicity Wonder Tandem air premium....same thing really.
Sebo D4 Pros: Longer cord (40ft vs 28ft) Speed controls on the hose handle Huge bags Better bare floor cleaning Tapered hose stronger airflow 101.74 CFM at the hose vs 97.07 it's really not too big of a difference Easy removable brushroll Cons: No headlight (since you mentioned that) Brush on/off on the nozzle Manual height adjustment requires you to bend down Riccar Prima TAP/Simplicity Wonder Tap Pros: Better carpet cleaning due to superior agitation 10 year main unit warranty 5 year component Rebuildable brushroll No height adjustment to mess with Headlight Extremely lightweight on bare floors and rolls easier on carpeting Uses Charcoal and hepa filtration simultaneously Brush on/off on the hose handle Optional mini power brush ($150) but worth it IMO Metal wand More suction about 90" vs 70" (I frankly don't think it matters though) Cons: Clunky tool caddy Motor speed control on the main body Bare floor tools only really clean moving them forward (this could be rectified with the purchase of a generic 35mm floor tool) it rolls too easy on bare floors it's run into my cats water dish 2x now Which do I prefer? The Riccar/Simplicity. In my mind the main function of a vacuum cleaner is carpet cleaning. The Riccar/Simplicity is probably the best canister i've used in terms of carpet cleaning. The included floor tools drives me nuts since they have a pad on the back they snowplow while dragging it back, but a 35mm floor tool fixes that issue. I also like that I don't really need to do anything but flip a switch to do bare floors the power nozzle will struggle with larger particles due to a low clearance but i find going over a transition raises it enough to get whatever was stuck against the front.

You can also get an adapter that will let you use 32 MM attachments with the Prima and Wondder machines, my favorite hard floor tools are the Wessel-werk turn and clean, D330, the Wessel-Werk RD285 and the side-winder hard floor brush. Another good Sebo model is the K3 though I think eventually the E series may replace the K series. Mike |
