I had a problem getting a part from my store . I called SEBO in Colorado and they sent it to me free of charge . I’m forever a SEBO fan
I'm a professional cleaner I've either owned or used every vac under the sun. I now own three Sebos; X7, 300 Mechanical, and the Felix. I love them all. SEBO is awesome to work with in that rare event something goes wrong. I will never own anything else.
I don't know why I'm watching this video when I'm trying to decide between buying a Bissell Zing and Eureka Mighty Mite 😅
If you can afford it (look into financing with a Synchrony Home Card), I suggest you buy a Sebo.
Get a sebo .. your life will change to the better
Seriously, Do NOT Buy ANY Bissell Zing, Bagged and Bagless. My Bagged Zings motor DIED in a Year and a half!
😀
Man! I Had Fun Watching this! Great Video! Josh and Aden. Thanks! Learned a bunch too! Subscribed, and 2 thumbs up!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Best review ever! Made my decision. Thank you!
Glad we could help!
😄 I recently purchased a Sebo Airbelt K3. I researched Miele and Sebo and read tons of reviews. I liked the much better warranty, the low profile, the ease of removing the roller, the hospital grade filtration, etc. on the Sebo. Miele's warranty was pathetic compared to Sebo. It was a huge investment for me, but other brands I may have purchased in decades gone by are pure junk these days, and I figured that given my age, if I invest in a Sebo now, it will likely last me for the rest of my life.
How is yours holding up? I'm strongly considering Sebo D4 or Miele C3 Brilliant or Pet for our next vacuum.
@@laurenlee8849 I absolutely love my Sebo. Sometimes I have had to make a high dollar purchase and found out later I made a bad decision. Such was the case upon replacing my mattress set a few years ago---tip: FORGET any mattress with memory foam, even expensive mattresses---within a year, you will be sleeping in a hole. Anyway, I made the right decision with my Sebo. I do not regret my decision at all. SO GLAD, I went into the store and tested both the Miele and the Sebo and spoke to the people who deal with them everyday. I came so close to buying a Miele. Really dodged a bullet there..... Good luck to you!
Thank you guys; one of the best reviews...educative and fun. :)
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
Great review and very informative. The second video I have seen today on the Sebo and it will definitely be my next purchase on a vacuum very soon. I plan to get the Sebo Essential G4 Upright. Thanks for sharing.
Glad it was helpful!
One thing I was thinking about as it would be nice to see what the different attachments are and what else could be added to these that do not come with it but that can be bought.
Great video, you have a lot of good videos on your channel. I'm a vacuum collector and both brands are represented in my collection. I have all hard floors so I only use a power nozzle to clean the area rug outside my apartment door and I do have several power nozzles in my collection. I have the Miele C1 Olympus, I think that one is just called the straight suction now, I also have the Sebo D1 which is the straight suction version of the full size canister and I have a Sebo Felix. I much prefer canister, backpack or central vacuums but I do absolutely love the Felix because you can remove the power head and attach a hard floor nozzle. I think Miele and Sebo are excellent vacuums, probably the two best brands available right now, but, when I am asked for a recommendation, I find myself recommending Sebo over Miele for a few reasons. First, Miele has started making a lot of their vacuums in China instead of Germany, I'm not sure if this has compromised quality but it's a bit of a concern. You cannot easily remove the brush on the Miele power nozzles which are actually rebranded Wessel-Werk nozzles. Finally, the parts for Miele vacuums are much more expensive than the parts for Sebo vacuums.
In the first comparison with the turbo heads, the Miele never went completely over the white rice, like the SEBO did. The Miele was stopped before being pushed over the top of the white grains.
I have a miele kona and so far in 2 years I have replaced the hose which warranty wouldn't cover and the wand assembly. Definitely my last miele.
Now some models are "Made In China"...
Fun comparison! Looks like the Miele's 236 nozzle still has the dead zone caused by its belt drive (not so for the Sebo ET-1). Not sure if Miele offers any retro kits to help their power nozzles work better on ultra plush carpet (Sebo does and their alternate brush/brush plates work well). No brush headlight with D4 though.
Some of the Miele machines are now made in China….
@@1953childstar Just the entry-level models
Great video for Sebo dealers . Love it!
Glad you liked it!
I was looking at the D4 at my local shop, but dealer said there’s no play in the cost. Ended up getting a R40p new out the door for $960. Wish Riccar would hurry up with a replacement for the Tandem Prima.
i am really comparing these and i like your duo comparison...u guys have nailed it...I'm comparing sebo auto x7 with miele complete c3 cat & dog...I've got cut pile, high pile (both carpets) and hard and wooden floor...I'm little confused if both are good for both...specially sebo for cut and high carpets together
The cut pile definitely. High pile is hard to say until you try it. We've seen the X7 work on ridiculously high pile carpets when outfitted with the soft carpet brush. However, we've also seen it stall out on high piles that we expected it to work on. Either way we absolutely recommend swapping the standard brush for a soft brush in your environment.
This was hilarious.
In spite of the fact that I am obsessed with my Sebo, I am trying to be fair:
That Miele agitation, *from inches away*, was epic. It covered a lot of real estate but was definitely most insane in the middle. Sebo was edge to edge but only from very close and was certainly not as violent. This makes me wonder if it has superior airflow or just that the Miele brush bristle is very harsh...which would mean shearing and sucking up more carpet fiber, right? I know that people complain that they don't get the same sharp carpet lines with a Sebo, implying that this means that the carpet is not as well groomed. I'd love to see some content addressing this!
The Sebo wins in every other category, though.
Since mold is an increasingly acknowledged epidemic in Colorado: Regarding HEPA filtration - I opted to get Sebo's K3 because that model does offer HEPA filtration. For someone with mycotoxicosis, fractions of a micron more filtration can matter. So, I traded the larger bag and stacked velocity tubing from the next model up for HEPA.
The Sebo's ET-1 bristles are longer than the Miele's 236's. Also, 236's belt drive creates a dead zone along brush path - ET1's belt drive is outside brush path.
I’ve got my Sebo as well - miele is not a vacuum company and I love it.
@@mattheviewer 100% Though, I was told (in a vac store) that the newer iterations of the EBK 360 (SEB 228 for Miele) addresses the dead zone.
@@brodenmacarthur3955Miele definitely is an "appliance" company. The one thing they have that Sebo does not: Periodic sales. Right now, there are some nice Miele cannisters on sale for 20-25% off. But yeah, the long term cost of disposables and the tools all cost so much more. (i.e. - Same Wessel Werk handheld turbo tool is $65 for Sebo, $85 for Miele.)
Unfortunately, the K series vacs have air leaks in them that kinda make it a moot point.
Is the Onyx version just extra warranty or do you get more accessories or anything?
Is it a higher price? Are they always black?
I'm planning to go to the local dealer to get the Onyx version, just want to know in advance what I should expect.
You might have done this but I would love to see a review of an upright Sebo against a upright Riccar vacuum to see how they compare.
We are considering doing that. The R40 has a notably more impressive demo on wall to wall carpet than any other units we've tested so we sorta know what to expect.
@@vacuumsrus thanks for this. I would love to see how the two compare. Just sad that some of the Riccar models are made in China so that is why I might consider the other model made in Germany.
@@vacuumsrus it might also be nice to see the canister vacs as well for these two companies and compare those as well.
@@jmdennis1967 At this time Riccar does not have a canister line that really stacks against Sebo. We suspect however that they have some thing brewing and if we know anything about Riccar it will shake things up when and if it happens.
Is this good on tile flooring ?
I own a Sebo and a Miele and Sebo is hands down the winner. In fact, I'm getting rid of the Miele and buying a second Sebo since I keep a vacuum on each floor because they are heavy to tote up and down stairs.
Hello, thank you for your very informative videos. Sebo canisters are not widely available in the UK. So, what would be your pick between a Miele C3 Cats & Dogs canister and a SEBO
Automatic X7 ePower Upright Vacuum Cleaner, SEBO X7 Excel Plus Vacuum Cleaner or SEBO Felix Excel Vacuum Cleaner? I have a pet, and manoeuvrability is important, but so are also performance and long-term costs. Thank you!
Can you compare to Riccar’s top of the line canister?
Good vid!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
God it sure would be nice to have an unbiased review/comparison.
I guess every one has biases. Ours just comes from decades of customer feedback.
The Miele begins agitating the rice and sand from further away from the line than the Sebo did.
I sucked up a essential oils bottle in the nozzle and cannot shake it loose - any suggestions as I cannot figure out how to take the head apart to pull it out.
DO NOT take the hose itself apart on Sebo or Miele. The hose will absolutely come apart. It will however never go back together again. Vacuum stores have powerful central vacuums as well as special tools to remove objects from hoses. If you are unable to get it out at home I would suggest bringing it to a dealer. I also caution against using a clothes hanger. More often than not using a coat hanger punctures the side of the hose or damages the integrated wires in the hose.
What exact model is the Sebo? There seem to be several types of the D4.
In this video we are comparing like for like so we are comparing hte D4 Onyx With the Miele C3 Homecare + the sebo can be seen here www.vacuumsrus.com/product/cleaning-2/vacuum-cleaners/sebo/sebo-airbelt-d4-premium-with-et-1-power-head-and-parquet-brush-black-onyx-with-ten-year-warranty/
I love the attitude and the mischievous smile on the red head. Bringing on the smack. Miele is to Apple as Sebo is to Android. C'mon though, I hate the spinning carnival light on the Sebo. What's the purpose of spinning light? So you know the vacuum is on? Hello! For me, the superior design of the Miele wins. I've had my S528 for 20 years and it still works and looks great. No issues.
Don't encourage him... believe me, his ego doesn't need the help.
@@joshyouwa 🤣
"I hate the spinning carnival light on the Sebo. What's the purpose of spinning light?"'
The guy at the performance reviews channel said it's helpful for deaf people.
Overall the value goes to Sebo - you'll spend less on repairs and less on consumables over time. Plus you get speed controls and a handle on all Sebo canisters, while that's a feature Miele reserves for their very expensive models.
@@sprockkets I've had my Miele S528 since 2002. After the first year, the electrical cord broke on the inside but I took it to Miele and they repaired it for $20. I've not had any issue with it since. For 21 years the Miele has been working flawlessly. I change the Hepa filter and of course the bags but that's it. As far as the spinning light on the Sebo being for deaf people? I don't buy it. Why isn't the spinning light on all Sebo's then? Besides, deaf people know when the vacuum is on. It's like NYC banning all new construction with windows that can be opened, supposedly to prevent suicides, meanwhile, everyone else gets cancer from bad indoor air quality. I hate the spinning light on the Sebo but that's just me. It's a feature you like or not.
@@davidhunternyc1 Well out of all the features that could piss you off, that would be the one I would never guess.
I have both brands so like each ones features, but I feel like every time I need stuff for the Miele they get you there. I had to pay $55 for the seal on a C1. With the Sebo D4, it's part of the filter package.
I’ve watched 3 videos and Zebo doesn’t use a rubber band to turn the brush, why is this better?
What do you guys think about the D1? Seems significantly cheaper than the D4 and if you don't have wall-to-wall carpet may be a more reasonable choice
If you don't need to clean much carpet, sure. But they don't give you the parquet roller, which is their best, but a Wessel Werk combo one, which is good. Just not as good as the parquet head.
It is an excellent option if you have zero wall to wall carpet. However the D1 will not clean wall to wall carpet.
Hospital filtration or HEPA filtration?
can you review the clean max zoom 500?
The zoom 500 is not our favorite machine so likely will not get reviewed. It is a fine machine but it is at an odd spot in the line up. For considerably less you can get a zoom 200. For a very little more you can get the zoom 700 with the critical feature of a serpentine belt. Zoom 500 is not a product we stock as a result.
@@vacuumsrus ok thank you
What do you think about Oreck vacuum? I currently have a Shark Upright for the last two years, no issues.
Well, two years is the average life span for Sharks. Some last 6 months and occasionally you see one make it for many years past the 2 year mark. But as a whole 2 years is what we are seeing in general (see our video "why can't I fix my Shark vacuum?"). Oreck was a great product produced in New Orleans and the after Katrina in Kentucky. Around 2015ish they were purchased by a massive conglomerate out of Hong Kong. We saw a marked increase in the frequency of repairs with the units being produced after the acquisition. This was coupled with unavailability of repair components. We found that the lower quality of the machine coupled with the inability to repair them when they did fail was not consistent with our standards and chose to severely limit our offering of the product line. We find that both Riccar and Sebo remain dedicated to high performance machines with life spans in the decades and lean heavily in to those brands.
@@vacuumsrus -- I think we got 20 years out of our last Miele.
I've been cleaning houses for over a year and I use Shark AZ2002. I have two of them I bought them both on ebay for $109 each free shipping. They are excellent. I use my main one almost every day for about an hour. The other is a back up. The only problem I've had with my sharks is I didn't clear the soft roller brush and it stopped spinning and broke the belt. I repaired it but it took about 45 minutes because they make it hard to open. I clean a lot of houses with wool rugs and the Shark may damage them with it's powerful suction. I use the top of the line Miele brilliant $1000+ vacuum at a clients house one a week. It's so clunky and hard to use compared to the shark. The brush rolloer cuts on and off while using as well. I do like the wide floor attachment but you have to attach it and then attach the carpet one after you are done. I've used it about 10 time so far and I clipped the wand telescoping button on the side of a bathtub just lightly and the button flew off. I bought another button for it and replaced but the wand did not telescope properly. I then had to spend like $120 or so on a replacement wand for my clients. Which I gladly did because my clients are super cool. But $120 is more than a whole az2002 used vacuum on ebay. The shark is better than the miele in every way except it's suction is too powerful for the wool. It's designed better for use. Yes, repairability is bad but when you can find used parts and whole vacuums for super cheap it's not bad. The cheapest Miele wand I found was used and only like $10 less than new. Some of my other clients have the Mieles that are like the $500 ones. They feel like toys for children. I'm looking to buy a Sebo felix but I am doing so regrettably because it doesn't have a quick detachable wand or the lift-away action of the Shark. The shark can get under lower clearance furniture. Also i don't want to change heads every time I go to carpet vs floor. Hopefully the carpet attachment with the roller off will work well but I doubt it since they built a floor attachment. I'm also thinking about just cutting a hole in my Sharks hose to make the suction weaker. I feel like these luxury vacuums are over hyped.
Isn’t it more important to clean the carpets water which the Miele does?
Oh yeah also to rotate the material clockwise.
What Miele doesn’t tell you, is that if you open the C3’s bag compartment to check the fullness of the bag, the bag actually slides out of alignment with the hose port. If you do not re-insert the bag in the blue collar, the bag compartment fills with dirt the next time you use the vacuum. There is no safety mechanism to prevent the motor from turning on if the bag is not seated properly.
So true, I had that happen and after spending so much money on three machines. The cost of the bags is outrageous ( Now 29.99 for a pack of 4 ). The machines are now starting to be manufactured in China. I sold mine on eBay and did not really lose money..
@@panasonicvac4036 Yes, but Miele does not tell you that. It is a counterproductive new feature that is not necessary. Many people do not trust Bag Check indicators to tell them if a bag needs changing. You should be able to open the cover and feel the bag and close the cover again without causing dirt to flood the bag chamber when you start vacuuming. I have an old S8 and I have no problem removing the bag without this destructive new sliding feature. All Miele has to do is put a big warning sign on the inside of the cover that explains what to do to prevent flooding the compartment with dirt.
I have both machines, and both demonstrate excellent performance. I admit that I ONCE made this mistake with the bag door and a new bag - and I learned my lesson. My issue with Miele is that it should be more fool-proof. I can’t expect my 6 year old son to remember to re-seat the bag in the dock when he is playing with the vacuum. Consequently, I must check the bag dock every time that I use this vacuum, which is silly for a $1100 machine.
@@PierogiBoy My feeling exactly! How many cleaning ladies know they have to reseat the bag collar if they just opened the cover to check if the bag is getting full?
@@1953childstarseriously being made in china?
In line with the video: The Miele is definitely the better choice!
I did not expect that much hair on the carpet, that made me laugh
Have to give a realistic dog hair demo experience ;) !
very entertaining
Thank you!
Too funny!
The Miele Solaris was their best product ever.
