I didn't notice a topic on this here yet, but I know some will be interested. Sebo are about to launch a cordless vacuum. We have a blog post with all we know up to now at the link.

It will be interesting to hear how loud this cleaner is. I am a big fan (pardon the pun) of simple, fan-first bagged lightweight uprights that are designed to only clean carpets. However, the one drawback has often been their poor noise suppression. Hopefully Sebo has figured out how to make this one quieter.

Looks very nice! The only thing I have to wonder about, is what is the filtration system set up this vacuum uses? Typically, the Sebo S Class Filtration System uses 3 separate filters - bag, pre-motor filter and post motor filter - to achieve S Class Filtration which they claim is the equivalent to HEPA Filtration, which it is NOT. So, if this is a direct air upright, since most have only a HEPA Cloth bag as the final filter to filter dust from the air, what else are they doing to make this vacuum have S Class Filtration?

Battery looks to be removable I’ll be interested in its filtration and noise levels and if there’s a multi speed option. My Supralite is wearing down and I’m looking for a simple upright replacement. It’ll be interesting to see if this is geared only for commercial use or if there’s a residential version also. | ||

We had one of these in the shop a few days ago to look at. There will be videos and lots of photos quite soon, but for now, I can answer the questions above.
"Hopefully Sebo has figured out how to make this one quieter" - I wouldn't call it especially quiet, but it has to meet UK and EU noise regs. "What is the filtration system set up this vacuum uses?" - The bag is the only filter I could see. But the bags are thicker than standard Sebo bags. "Interesting you plug the cord into the vacuum to charge it. I presume the battery is internal?" - The battery is removable and not much smaller than a house brick. I've attached a photo of the battery out of the machine. "If there’s a multi-speed option. It’ll be interesting to see if this is geared only for commercial use or if there’s a residential version also." - It's aimed at the commercial market. It's single-speed. Future models may have hoses and attachments. A corded version is rumoured to be coming to the US later on.

How bizzarre
Looking over the specs it appears this corded version has a rating of 57.2 CFM. Looking over the schematic it looks like these have a very unusual setup. I think that the fan is run by a belt. Cool that it uses a geared belt though.

I really love the looks of the new Karcher Professional, it reminds me of a classic Panasonic upright haha. However, I am a bit concerned though of the success that it'd serve on the market. This is just in my opinion but I think direct air vacuums are outdated nowadays, especially in the commercial market. In fact, I just bought a Windsor Versamatic for a place that I would go help clean for once a week since it's got to have a hose on-board and it has a track record of being one of the most reliable commercial vacuums ever. With it being a bypass design, there's no fans to break or replace as lots of people would vacuum up something that they shouldn't like rock pebbles, coins, etc. It's very possible that these would be discontinued shortly. Just like the ProTeam FreeFlex, the Oreck/Hoover cordless bagged upright, and the Shop-Vac Easylift. But I hope that wouldn't be the case.

Fan The fan setup on this vacuum is quite similar to the Air-Way DirtMaster, with a belt-driven fan being contained in the handle hinge. | ||

Are you sure it’s a belt driven fan?? One can’t always tell by the schematics. | ||

well
TBH not entirely certain of it, but i think so. I thought the motor would be on the side opposite of the intake initially due to the placement of the airpath but then i looked a little closer at the schematic and it appears that the fan attaches to a pulley. I'm curious to see how this rather....odd design does.
It's very possible that i'm incorrect but I guess time will tell. | ||

Looking forward to seeing in person. I’ll be eager to see the inside of this one. I was fascinated with the Sensor models. | ||

"-belt driveen fan??" It does seem to show belts number 125 & 151.That would make this brand new,modern,state of the art technology except, as above, AirWay did this in 1937. | ||

Eh sort of. If you notice other than the direct air motor, everything else is basically a Sebo Mechanical. So nothing very new or special. Also this wouldn't be the only direct air machine ever invented with a lifetime belt and breaker to shut the machine off if something were to get stuck on the brushroll. Riccar/Simplicity, Oreck, Proteam, etc.

 Now that's proper cordless upright. I want one so badly! Brushroll looks like it's identical what I have in my Sebo Felix. I am very surprised that it uses direct air system.

Now I know why it may be a while for this to show up in the US. It is 875GBP. You can buy an X7 and a Felix plus have spare change for that amount in the UK. Here it would be damn near $2,000, which would price it out the market, yet the corded version only costs $399 here. | ||

Hmm
This sound very similar to the now discontunied ProTeam FreeFlex and why that product failed in the market. The corded version was like maybe less than $700 yet the cordless version was about $1500! If the same similar thing happens to Sebo, then I don't see them being around in the market for very long either.

@Mike811 Looks like this one will be expensive one in Europe too! You can but an X7 and a Felix, in the UK at least, for the price of this. | ||

Oh boy, this is not what I needed to see. I've been literally dreaming about Sebos all week and this is the exact kind of machine I would be interested in. A new direct-air bagged machine!! I'm not a fan of batteries since they get worn out pretty quickly in my experience, but the corded model looks great. $399 is not bad at all.
Please keep us updated if anyone buys one! | ||

I'd be very interested to see the Karcher branded corded one also. Personally, I'd have launched that first in Europe, since we can't even buy Orecks anymore, it would fill a gap in the market.
If anyone here does buy the corded Karcher $399 one in the US, please do make a topic. I'd like to see some proper photos and/or a video. We've been using the cordless on the shop floor this week. Alright, it's expensive I know (we have an off-site deal though), but it's great for going around our parts shelves (we have several isles that are a pain to vacuum). And it is very effective, and as mentioned upthread, it is a Sebo X brushroll. | ||

The cordless Karcher version is now available here. I think these are going to be a flop already, I can now get the corded version for about $800 less!

Price
The price is high that's fair to say but when we compare it to other cordless options like the tacony built machines or the Hoover 40v ones which both seem to range around 700-800 (hoover doesn't include a battery or charger for 319) The Sebo has a few features to it that makes it a little more palatable for the commercial setting, like it's geared belt(s) and easy change brushroll.

But for that price, I could buy a Versamatic with alot to offer than that. More power, better filtration, tools on board, bypass design so heavier debris won't wear out the fan, no batteries that'll die and require replacing, etc. To me it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to go for cordless in the commercial market especially for direct air vacuums. I'm pretty sure that's why the ProTeam FreeFlex was a failure.

I think the Tacony versions are really nice machines, fun to play around with. Although, they aren't as powerful as the corded variants or even both of my older Simplicity Freedoms that I have. The only time I could ever see myself using a cordless full size machine is if the power went out in a building and I'd still need to clean the place up while it's dark. Other than that, I'd use cordless machines in commercial environments that are smaller and easier to use for quick pickups like the Dyson V7 my office has. Last time I looked, they're like less than $200 which I think sounds reasonable.
