To spend or not to spend
By David Arnstein
I am going to compare this machine to my 1998 Hoover Wind Tunnel upright vacuum cleaner. The Hoover needed a repair for the second time and I decided to retire it instead. Fourteen years is enough! This is when my troubles began. I read the customer reviews of Hoover vacuums here on Amazon, and on the Consumers Reports web site as well. I learned that Hoover vacuums had descended to the level of absolute junk. Use it a few times, and it breaks. I researched the other brands that I know: Kenmore, Electrolux, and Panasonic. Also junk! I eventually selected the SEBO K3.The Hoover has much more suction than the SEBO K3. In fact, it is wonderfully powerful. It is also hugely, ridiculously loud. Unlike the SEBO K3, the Hoover is an upright vacuum. Ultimately, the choice between an upright and a canister vacuum is a matter of taste. But consider that the Hoover is self-propelled. It really is easy to use. The Hoover has a headlight. It also has a light that goes out when the section of carpet you are pummeling is clean. I really like that. These are features that the SEBO K3 lacks. Finally, the Hoover power cord is about twice as long as the SEBO K3.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. This vacuum has a fingertip control right on the handle of the wand. This control allows infinite control over motor speed and hence suction. This control also allows you to turn the vacuum completely off. This is really nice: you don't have to bend over to turn the vacuum on and off. Finally, the SEBO has a very nice floor brush, and the Hoover has a bad one. You can buy a nice one for the Hoover though. Not expensive at all.Finally, there is the issue of cost. For the price of the SEBO K3, you could buy somewhere between two and three top-of-the-line Hoover Wind Tunnels! Don't laugh, I'm making a serious comparison. You could buy two Hoovers, and keep one in storage. When your Hoover breaks, you send it in for repairs and switch over to the spare vacuum. Depending on the cost of the repairs, you might save some money versus buying the SEBO K3.I actually thought about buying a RAIH (Redundant Array of Inexpensive Hoovers) but I found the idea repulsive. The next time you buy a vacuum cleaner, you will face the same dilemma that I did. Is it better to buy a moderately priced piece of junk, or a hugely expensive machine that is not junk?

so far very excited
By K. Vasen
I had a Hoover Dimension 1000 for over 20 years. It finally had to be retired because parts are no longer available for it. I tried replacing it with an Oreck upright but missed the canister functionality so I returned the Oreck and replaced it with a Dyson canister. The Dyson works great on dust but does not work for my lifestyle. I have a paper shredder and when I dump it out sometimes pieces of shreds end up on the carpet. The Dyson could not handle those. The hole is too small and would clog. It have also found the Dyson to clog with pet hair which I have a ton of. In addition I have a pellet fire place that needs to be cleaned out. It seems that the Dyson can't handle that task. The sales person for this SEBO also did not recommend using it for cleaning out my pellet fire place but it needs to be cleaned out so some appliance needs to do it. I have not attempted that feat yet.I just finished vacuuming the house with the new SEBO. I did not purchase it online but did pay 879 for it. It seems to have great suction. The cord let me vacuum the entire downstairs without having to change plugs. The large hole allowed it to pick up a piece of dog food from the carpet without problem. So far I'm very excited. Well worth the double price I think. I believe this one could last me another 20 years.

By Susan White
My Kirby finally gave up. I was looking for a vacuum with more functionality (like for vacuuming under furniture). I read consumer reports on their top rated vacuums, then read the reviews. Consumers hated those CR top rated machines. Then I read the reviews for the Sebo Airbelt K3. Although there weren't many reviews, the ones I saw were very complimentary. I took the plunge and ordered it. Yes I spent a little more, but boy did I get what I paid for. This machine is lightweight, good looking and works like a dream. It is the quietest vacuum cleaner I've ever seen (heard). I have 2 cats, so their hair shedding was always a concern. Not anymore. Thank you Sebo for an outstanding product.
