I bought a bargain £50 machine.
Looks in good condition but suffers from something that all SEBO cylinders seem to do.
Very loose fits!

It seems to be leaking air under exhaust filter cover. Isn't air supposed to be escaping the machine via air belt? Not to mention that airbelt is covered in black dots.

I also think there's a problem with the hose. Something's not tight there. Is there anything I could do apart from buying a new hose?

Someone had an amazing idea. Finally a decent upholstery tool as K's upholstery tool set up is really odd.

Bags seemed to do a decent job at keeping dust inside.

It also has the same problem as E1. The connection between wand and turbo head is really poor. Why don't they change it? :underchair:

It's meant to have 2100W but it just doesn't feel more powerful than 1200W Miele :-\

I'm not sure but isn't that air belt cover a consumable as in easy to change out? Again I'm not sure

It is, but the cover itself is about £25.
New fitlers come to about £17. There's a service box with 2 filters and 8 bags for about £27.
Anyway, quite a lot.
I was wondering if I could just wash the airblet. Has anyone ever tried that?

You could try. But it really doesn't cost that much so if its a failure then just buy a new one.

Sebo, Miele, Riccar, etc. are all expensive vacuums at retail - so the replacement parts come with an expensive price. Those prices for those parts are actually really cheap. I have a Miele Black Diamond and just a new hose would cost $85 alone. It's just the cost of admission for having a luxury vacuum cleaner.
