About the handling and equipment, the advantages and disadvantages associated with certain pieces of furniture other reviewers have written very comprehensive. I would add only that the easy handling of the vacuum cleaner is difficult in direction to füllendem anther here. But that does not lead to devaluation, since the top-heavy structure can be seen already from the product images.
Disappointed but has the technical soundness. In the summer of 2014 (after 4 years of use to approximately 60 m²) of the on-off switch coincided with the power regulation from. The original spare parts is hard to get at 70,00 Euro. In my opinion too expensive, I looked at the board. The two there soldered electronic components cost only about 2.00 euros, but I found myself unable to find the right replacement. So I expanded and bridges the switching unit: The vacuum cleaner is now always ran at full power and has been turned on and off with the mains plug.
A few months went well. A few days ago but it smelled of charred electrical system, the dust filter between dust bag and motor had some small burns. This prompted me to take the vacuum cleaner for safety reasons out of service immediately.
Conclusion: I find it very difficult to formulate in my experience with this device a recommendation for potential buyers. Certainly my household with some children and real dirt a real challenge for every vacuum cleaner. On the other hand another Sebo product for years really served us well here. Because no other reviewer obviously had the technical problems as me, I forgive a mediocre three-star rating.
