Sebo K1

Bought Sebo K1 Komfort after doing a thorough research on vacuum cleaners. We used Dyson for over 10 years and the plug exploded recently so were going to send it to Dyson's repair centre. Unfortunately their service was appalling so we were forced to buy a new one. After comparing Dyson and Sebo, we decided to give Sebo a try. It looks much better than Dyson with its classic, minimalist design and it's light, compact but has 3 litre filter bag.

The suction is really strong and can change the suction level easily with the rotating button. Definitely value for money!

This has been a terrible investment. It is overengineered with some plastic parts which are prone to breaking so in just over two years we have had to replace the extension tool twice. Now both the main attachment and the one for the stairs are broken, despite being regularly cleaned of hairs and will cost more than £100 to replace. Also, it is incredibly difficult to actually maintain and clean out the attachments. Be warned, this is not a vacuum cleaner to buy.

What a fab machine - lots of suction - picks up pet hairs and I've had mine for over 5 years and it's never given me any problems (apart from the rewind cord - which the cleaner broke 10 months ago). I couldn't recommend this machine highly enough.
