Dyson Humdinger vs SEBO K3

Installing an Aquasana shower water filter instantly (and dramatically) reduced this effect to the baseline.

The vacuum was received 2 weeks ago and has been used 4 times. I have changed the bag, inspected the filter as well as looked for clogs everywhere..

The humdinger uses radial roots cyclone technology, which means you won't have any loss of suction since it has eight cyclones that generate an incred...

My SEBO K3 vacuum cleaner. I've been using a crappy Kenmore canister for over 20 years that had poor suction and leaked dust into the air. The room would smell and my allergies would flare up each time I vacuumed. With this fine piece of German engineering, the HEPA filters contain all of the dust, leaving my house dust-free and smell-free

If you're looking for a handheld vacuum that offers HEPA-level filtration, you could look at the Dyson Humdinger. This high-end handheld vacuum is effective at sealing fine particles as you clean, which is good if you suffer from allergies. It performs superbly on flat, even surfaces like tabletops or shelves and does a very good job clearing away debris on low- and high-pile rugs and carpets. It also has a somewhat long battery life compared to most other handheld vacuums, as you can expect a maximum runtime of almost 30 minutes in its most energy-efficient mode

I recommended going to a local dealer. I just got a Sebo K3 with 8 bags, filter replacement and the turbo brush attachment for $650. Plus supporting and knowing the person who will probably service your machine is nice too.

It offers a maximum of roughly half an hour of continuous runtime on a single charge, which should be more than sufficient for most spot-cleaning tasks. You can increase its suction power for dealing with especially stubborn messes by using the 'MAX' suction switch, though running it in this power mode decreases its battery life to just roughly 10 minutes.

Suction not as good as I had hoped. Though it is really quiet compared to conventional vacuums. Returned item in hopes to find something with better suction that fills the bag.

Installing an Aquasana shower water filter instantly (and dramatically) reduced this effect to the baseline.

I wouldn't worry too much about the warranty on the SEBO, just make sure you regular replace the bags with genuine SEBO bags and replace the filters between 8-10 bag changes. This same advice goes for the Miele.

I've gone through quite a variety of handheld vacs over the years for cleaning Golden Retriever hair from carpeted steps. They all sucked- until they didn't! Annoying cords, smelly filters, and impossible to change belts made we dread this chore! They were bulky and loud too! I LOVE how the head of the tool pivots so I don't have to do advanced yoga moves on the stairs in order to switch between the horizontal and vertical surfaces! Thank you, Dyson! While your products are expensive and the sticker shock has made me avoid your products in the past, I now understand that you really do get what you pay for! I'm a convert!!!

Attachments swivel and does not stick honestly The Sebo feels like it was made by people who actually knows what’s needed when vacuum cleaning (unlike the Dyson folks) and nothing is complicated or hard to change! This is the best vacuum I have owned and easily beats Miele, Dyson, Electrolux and many other brands I have owned. Also the Price is well worth the product!

I primarily used it as a handheld vac. The Humdinger does not have the same power, the crevice nozzle has an inferior design and it is difficult to empty. I have to use tweezers or a knife to remove debris. Quite disappointed

There's nothing really better than a power nozzle canister (like the SEBO K3) for being able to tackle a variety of surfaces. You probably wouldn't end up using the ET-1 powerhead as much if you moved someplace with hard floors and area rugs, but the SEBO K3's still gonna be a top tier vacuum when equipped with a hard floor nozzle. If it's not included in the box, I'd highly recommend getting the Premium Parquet head. Best hard floor tool on the market IMO

The SEBO K3 is wonderfully quiet. The exhaust air passes through what looks like a cushy bumper around the perimeter of the canister. Hence, the name "Airbelt." This excellent design helps account for the quiet operation of the machine

It's hard to imagine who would throw down $300 on a handheld vacuum when spending a dash more can buy you a far more versatile Dyson. We trust that the Humdinger is probably the strongest handheld on the market, but unless you're looking to misplace a few Benjamins, you should really just buy a stick vacuum.Price: $300SHOP NOW

But for the money, it's not much of an improvement over my old vac, and the cord retraction and inability to disconnect the powerhead with your foot are starting to really irritate me. What really makes it irritating is that they would seem to be easy fixes, and I don't know why they have not made that change. If I had a time machine and could go back 12 months, I'd get another Progressive vac, or try a different vac. I would not buy this again
