Reviews by Topic

Our analysis shows how reviewers feel about different topics. Please note these are not full reviews.

Suction

Not overly impressed

We’ve had over a year and while nothing has had to be replaced, it doesn’t seem to like Rottweiler hair. There’s always hair still on the floors (LVP and tile). It has good suction when you feel it but it just seem to get all the hair and tends to just push it away no matter what setting I choose. For reference, I do have multiple kids and multiple dogs though

Suction not as good as I had hoped

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.

Cleaning Performance

This is a GREAT vacuum, but I can’t recommend it...

‘Filter cone’. This is a coarse pre-filter which, if it clogs, will definitely cut down the suction power of the vac. Accessing it requires removing the main dust receptacle, then pulling a handle which releases the filter cone, which lives in the dustbin. After vacuuming my house one time (one medium-sized dog on premises), this ‘filter cone’ was wrapped with dog hair and definitely needed cleaning

Best money you've spent in the last year

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

Miele Bagless CX1 Blizzard Cat & Dog Vacuum Review - Vacuum Warehouse Canada

As a matter of fact, it comes with Mila's bestbear floor tool, which is what we call a parquet twister. It does come with an electric power head. This...

I like it but 2 weeks in ET-1 not working properly

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..

Power

Not sure it is worth the money

I was used to the power button on my Kenmore which was on the handle. Super convenient for turning on and off during jobs. Not this one. It’s on the canister

Investing in a Sebo canister if you don’t know what your “forever home” will be?

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

Ease Of Use

Perfection! My review will compare this to Miele Triflex and Miele C1 Canister

Thankfully, Amazon agreed to give me a full refund, and in its place I bought this CX1. Unlike the Triflex, there was no learning curve..

Sebo is top of the line!

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!

Design

The best Vacuum I have ever owned, also the most expensive I have ever purchased

It is quiet, it moves effortlessly, it is very light for a corded machine. The design is very artistic making it lovely to look at when stored somewhere. It is bagless. This has to be the greatest consumer vacuum on the market

To spend or not to spend

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

Filtration

If you have allergies, buy this vacuum.

No dust comes out of the Miele's exhaust. The canister opens more than 90 degrees, and the opening is large, so emptying is not a mess. The extra dust filter makes a huge difference. if you didn't know, it has a fine dust filter that contains the smaller dust particles and can be emptied wet so it doesn't become airborne

Sebo K3, Sebo E3, Miele C3 (and which C3)?

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.
