SEBO E3

Pretty good now. we have a high noise level here at the shop right now, but you can see it's pretty quiet, if not one of the quietest machines on the ...

It's a it's a great option for for those who are looking for a good cancer vacuum for their home.

I’ve got 50% carpet and 50% hardwood with carpeted stairs, two kids and a dog in a 2500 sq ft house. My two finalists are the Miele C3 HomeCare and the Sebo E3. The Sebo has that “fun to drive” factor and larger bags so I’m leaning towards that one.

** I read and watched about Miele and came to the conclusion that while they are great, excellent machines, the SEBO is what we wanted. Yes, Miele C3 Homecare+ is a gorgeous setup with lots of accessories, I like how quiet it is, and the "parking" onboard. However, SEBO E3 Premiums are cheaper upfront, slightly more reliable (less repairs needed) and cheaper to maintain with repairs being less expensive for SEBO at my local vacuum store.

Easy to maintain and bags and parts aren’t too expensive. I think you should find a local Sebo Dealer and take a look at the Sebo K3 $799 and Sebo E3 $999. Both of these come with a power head for best carpet cleaning but you might be able to use an E2 Turbo $599 if you have a small amount of low-medium pile area rugs.

If you home is larger, or you'd like the features of a larger vacuum (longer cord, longer hose, larger bag), look into the Lindhaus HF-6 ($800-850), Miele Complete C3 Kona ($899), or SEBO E3 ($999). Canister vacuums tend to outdo their upright counterparts on suction at the end of the hose, so they can do a great job on carpets when combined with an electric nozzle.

Personally I think you would be much better off with a corded vacuum still especially that size house. Getting something like a SEBO E3 or D4 or a Miele c3 would suit your needs far better from what you described. If you're curious just how much suction something like a Dyson v11 Lacks here's a video on that.

About a month ago I was in the market for a new vacuum (the wife said she wanted something better then the Dyson DC25 she had). I did my research here and based on what I read had narrowed it down to either a Sebo E3 or a Miele C3. Since the nearest Miele dealer was almost 2 hours away vs the 25 minutes for the Sebo dealer ... I went with the Sebo.

The powerheads on the SEBO E3 and D4 give you an unclogging port and a brushroll that can be removed without any tools. Those two canisters also have a tapered hose that gets wider as it goes towards the suction unit to prevent clogging. Warranty is 5 years on the Miele and 10 years on the SEBO. Based on my experiences with both brands, I'd say that SEBO's the one to go for in a heavy duty environment.
