David, Surrey

+ This machine is excellent for picking up dog or cat hairs from the carpet and solid floors.

- It can take a while to get used to using the machine as it has a swivel head but the design of the head is good.

Maria, London

+ Excellent cleaning power. Good pickup. Manoeverability, very flexible. Small and neat, but no loss of performance.

- Nylon bag cover gives it a cheap look. This was a present for my mother, who is old-fashioned about appearance of quality. She was not impressed by that.

George, Northampton , “Quality fanatic.”

+ Excellent quality product, properly designed and engineered (no plastic clips anywhere!) and very powerful suction really has pulling power from such a small motor.

- Can be heavy for some operations, like the stairs.

+ Equally good on stairs and large carpeted areas.
Well designed for getting under beds and into other awkward areas.
Removes cat hairs well.

- Needed to purchase separate turbo attachment for doing the stairs , though the performance of this was excellent

+ Bought for a pensioner who had never used a vacuum cleaner (kept calling it an electric sweeper) and he was able to use it after I set it up. Ask me later if he remembers how to replace the bag ... but this was the fisrt time the house was vacuumed in over 20 years. It did the job and went through one bag. Perfectly reasonable.

- Can't think of any bad points.

Rita, Peterborough

+ Swivel head making it very easy to vacuum into corners and under things, brush for stairs and upholstery with rotating brush(bought in addition) which is excellent for cat hair, excellent suction, long parts and labour guarantee.

- Hose not long enough which causes vacuum to overbalance when in use. Disposible dust bags.

+ Powerful hoover, the best I've had. I used to have a Miele (Cats & Dogs) and before that a Bosch, but none were as good as this one.

- Disgn, despite the colours, a little dated.

Caroline, Wincanton

+ Love the design with clever working parts, easy to remove dust bag with no spillages.Great moveability ( is that a word? ) getting close into corners and picking up dust very well.

- Great dust bag design, but I can see it's maybe going to be quite costly on buying the bags. Also quite awkward cleaning the stairs,but if I improve my technich I'm sure it'll get better, I haven't had the Sebo long.

Mike, Tunbridge Wells

+ Great performance on both carpet and hard floor with simple detachment of the base to switch between the two. Design nice and simple and looks a bit retro. I had a Dyson before which was totally over-designed and looked like a spaceship with too many plastic bits that broke off with a bit of wear and tear. This feels like it's been designed to clean the floor rather than look good in the cupboard.

- The only slight downside is that the machine doesn't stand upright on it's own with the parquet floor attachment as it's quite a small lightweight attachment but this does actually make it a bit more flexible to clean around furniture.

+ fantastic at cleaning - my carpets look cleaner. Also very good on wooden floors. L:ove the way it curves around furniture and into corners. just brilliant. Buy one now

- If you don't stand it up straight it will fall over but this is a minor point. Also again a little point - i find the attachemnts hose fiddly to fix back in after use. Both are very very small moans

+ Very easy to handle, though you have to get used to the very easy turn of the head and the handle being on the side of the machine and not the back. Love the idea of the sealed dirt bag which is why I bought it for my mum who suffers from asthma. Accessories are expensive - we bought the stair tool separately. Great being able to adjust the handle height and the length of the cable means I can do the lounge and hallway without having to unplug. All in all really like it's manageability and great suction. Husband impressed too! Would have bought one as my main 'hoover' if I had been turned on to Sebo before now.

- My elderly mother finds that it pulls on the shoulder even without the power head on.

Robert, Forest of Dean

+ The Sebo is the best vacuum I've ever had I would recommend it to anyone. The carpets look as good as new the pile is lifted and they feel soft to walk on. The Sebo is so easy to use it steers around corners and cleans right up to the edge of the carpet. Simply the best!
