I have another question: Is it less expensive to purchase a vacuum on-line or at a local store, do you know? I am very much out of touch these days . . . Thanks! |

I recommend the Hoover WindTunnel bagged self propelled vacuum cleaner...They are $300. I have one and it works very well. I use the 3M Filtrete bags in it. |

While I have nothing against Sebo -- I agree they're fantastic machines -- I'm just curious as to how Lindhaus compares to them. Lindhaus seems to be largely an Italian copy of the German Sebo design. Are they competitive? |

I can only speak for the UK versions so maybe Tom could confirm it as a feature of the US versions?. The Felix also comes with an excellent soft bristles floor brush that replaces the powerhead. Its ideal for wood, laminate, tiles etc :) |

Hello! I own a few Sebo machines in my collection, starting from the very first twin motor upright they produced in 1979.I really love my automatic X3 because it has great suction, single motor design, self adjusting nozzle and on board tools. All you have to do is turn the swithch on and start vacuuming, it does all by itself: It adjust the nozzle at the proper height for any type of carpeting and lowers it for bare floors (there's a rubber seal behind the brushroll thet prevents small objects from being proyected backward by the brushroll) and the on board tools are good enough for cleaning in crevices and upholsteries, or in narrow places in general. Adding the extension hose and another wand you can use it for cleaning almost everything and everywhere. There's also a good mini turbo tool for stairs and upholsteries that works fine, and the dusting tools are excellent in shape and quality. I own the model x3 because I use it for daily cleaning of a large white-carpeted area, but for average areas the X2 would be the best choice, als because the L shaped nozzle (wider than that on model x1)makes the cleaning job much faster. I love the way the bags are sealed and replaced. The combined hepa/charcoal filter ensures that only clean air is released. Grat deal, in my opinion. Tommy |

Tommy in Milan--I would love to see a picture of the 1979 Sebo you have if you get a chance to post it. Probably the earliest one I have seen here in the States was a Windsor back in the early 90's. |

Hi, Sebo is the name of the earliest twin motor machine designed by mr Stein, a German engineer who had been working for the Vorwerk company and decided to open a firm on its own. Windsor is the name of the importer of this vacuum cleaner into the USA, not of the factory who produce it. Sorma and Karcher are two other brands of cleaning equipment whom Stein&co sold machines to in special brand colours but with the same features as the original sebo machines. tO TALKTOTRAVIS: i'LL TAKE A PICTURE OF IT AS SOON AS i VISIT MY MTHERS HOUSE WHERE MY COLLECTION IS. GREETINGS, TOMMY |

This must be the first sebo upright in the wide track version. The following versions had an electronic brushroll control with red and green lights while this had a sort of mechanic device that in case of brushroll blockage switched the powernozzle motor off. Absolutely no brush wear control;-) I love the red/white color scheme! tommy |

Hi Travis, yes they were very cool and I have to say that SEBO was the real innovator in commercial-professional upright cleaning for large surfaces...these vacs have all he features that in fact set a new standard. large powernozzles with easy to replace brush strip, low noise, good suction, good filtration(better than any other upright cleaner at that time)and the first models could be also used as barefloor cleaners: there was a surface nozzle which could be connected in place of the power nozzle. The later version had a stiffer connection, but for long time both version were produced; early models didn't feature carpet height adjustment in the narrower version also, introduced as a standard on the later models. I know Lindhaus very well because my mother is from padua, where the factory is, and I know many people who work there and I had the opportunity to know Mr Massaro, the owner and director of Lindhaus. But they came later.I don't like them as much as Sebos, though they are VERY good in terms of material quality and overall quality. their range is really wide and through the years they had their uprights sold olso by private labels like TASKI, NILFISK-ADVANCE and HAKO, and others. I own one of the earlies lindhaus for household use, and it was incredible because they had used a BY-PASS motor on the earliest series,so the air vacuumed in, was expelled separate from the air cooling the motor, which had a different passge. Butthey were a little bit noisy.Lindhaus introduced the a new motor, flow through, which is in use also today, allowing the modification of the motor hood for Hepa filtration feature. Another interesting thing of lindhaus in that they feature a xtra wide powernozzle, model RX 50, that I tried and felt a little bit inconvenient because of the position of the upright unit on the very wide pn. I really prefer T shaped pns;-) tommy |

Dyson has excellent filtration, and I never used a Miele, but I believe they also have impressive filtration |
