A person should have an opinion on everything, It becomes tact whether you reveal that opinion or not.

Thanks Jan, just been reading the reviews and it does look good! Unfortunately Amazon (where I often purchase items from) says "Item Under Review" I wonder why :?

I have a sebo and I love it bit pricey but I love the way it adjusts
from hard floor to carpet without you having to fiddle with the dials.
Only prob is you have to have bags for it

I don't mind the bags Jan. Does it come with an attachment for the stair carpet?

I noticed a couple of reviews mentioned scratching the laminate floor :? (only a couple mind)

I asked my mother in law but she still prefers brooms. They handle better and are easier to park.

mine does and is the blue one
but a friend has the black pet one and it has an upholstery attachment which is excellent

my blue one has the nozzles you know standard one
http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/sebo-x4-ex ... 4-pdt.html

but the black one has a mini sort of attachement which is great for carpets.
best thing is to go and have a look at one

Panasonic vacs are good too

I use the Dyson on the carpets as it has a brush action which lifts the pile nicely but otherwise I'm not very impressed; in order to maintain suction the filters need cleaning and replacing far more frequently than they claim and cleaning out the dust receptacle can be a pain and messy. For pure sucking power I wouldn't want to be without our Henry.

Thanks a lot Jan, that's made my mind up :grin:

I'm gonna go for the black one! It's a bit cheaper on Amazon too - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sebo-Automatic- ... B0019QNHQ8


SRD I agree with you about the Dyson :wink:
