Kenmore 400 Series 81414 vs SEBO D4

They clean carpet well and can do hard floors due to their mechanical brush shutoff. As expected by the price, the build quality is not great. I find them regularly with attachment clips that are cracked/broken and will no longer hold the attachments, bag releases that will not stay in place (they still work without the release), cracks in the base where the axles for the back wheels mount. The mechanical belt tensioner design likes to chew through belts over time, so it is the only one you listed that does not have a true lifetime belt design

press a button slides and then this whole little goth slides the whole brush roll right out for easy cleaning. You can wash that, clean this out. Easy...

I have a cat. I have a Kenmore 400 Series. Not as crazy expensive or as powerful as other vacuums, but it does have good suction and a powerhead with height adjustment. I enjoy the heck out of it, even if I know that if I had a bigger budget, i could have gotten better

If you live in a home with shag-pile carpeting, it's a good idea to buy a SEBO ET-1 or wider ET-2 floorhead, either of which is highly effective on carpets. The rocker switch on the handle of this vacuum gives you a precise level of control over its suction power, allowing you to quickly adapt to different types and lengths of carpeting. Build quality is excellent, and the vacuum's three-stage filtration system is remarkably effective in trapping fine allergens. It's also incredibly easy to maintain and incurs low recurring costs for a bagged vacuum, thanks to its large-capacity dirtbags and long-lasting filters

Pros: This has excellent suction, and a lever to release some suction if you don't want as much, but no idea why/when anyone would use that. Works wonderfully on hardwood floors and the stair attachment is also easy to use and works great for not only stairs, but furniture, welcome mats and flannel bedspread to get off the lint balls. The bag is huge and doesn't need to be replaced very often, even with pet hair. Transition from hard wood to carpet is also very easy

And we're actually going to give it a quick demo as well because um, the house does need a bit of a clean. I've done a bit of a dust off so there's pl...

Somewhat angry as there is absolutely no place in the Amazon Description that states that these most important features do not come on this model! So please pay attention to what you are purchasing as per the features. Because these features were not in the advertisement, I thought I was getting a great buy but turns out not so! The following is what the Ad reads and I see nowhere that it states it doesn't come with these features that are important to me.

So far I am liking this over my Dyson because you can adjust the suction, it's not as heavy, it probably isn't quite as good on carpet but I have my washer/dryer in my hall and need to vacuum around it to keep the dog hair from getting under the appliances. If you have dogs and want to do carpet along baseboards this is easier than Dyson IMO. Can't comment on durability but also like having bagged over canister.

99 for 8 bags. Any Sebo with the Et-1 has the tool free brush roll removal so it makes maintenance a lot easier.
