It's crazy when you get a big box store vacuum vs a quality vacuum at a vacuum store.... Yes they are more expensive but they are so much better made......and bagged vacuums.. specifically vacuums that can use HEPA bags are so much better than dealing with bagless...I really like the way that canister looks.....

The comparison itself is incorrect as you are comparing a canister with an upright. The right comparison would be with a Miele C3

Do you have aftermarket head protectors on that?

You must have painted your rear peg mounts black. I took my rear pegs off. Love my Arrow exhaust. Same bike. Cheers!

Did you end up polishing it and if so what did you use for polish and applicator?

pardon?

I picked up a Sebo felix in replace of my shark apex and its night and day difference. I cannot believe I hadn't looked into real vacuums before. I got an 11 year warranty for my unit and paid $585 for it because of the trade in deal I got. Just unbelievable and couldn't say no to that deal.

I made the mistake of buying a Shark and one year later, it's dead. Started researching "real" vacuums and narrowed my decision down to Miele and Sebo. Your video was a great help, thank you. I purchased the Sebo E3 Premium canister and I'm very pleased.

Had a Miele Orion canister vac, wasn't impressed with the cleaning/suction power at all. Use Roomba 980s for weekly vacuuming, and Kirby vacuums for spot cleaning and occasional deep cleaning.

Hands down the best vacuum I’ve own. I had a Dyson, then was persuaded to get a Shark… now I have the D4 and I love it. So much cleaner and much more versatile.

Hi mate. I may have missed it but what’s the box on the back of the bike please.

Miele has a HEPA filter and SEBO only hospital grade filtration (only the K-series has HEPA option from Sebo). With a filtration test, Miele came out with zero particles and Sebo about 40 - 60 ppm. Also Miele has better bags them Sebo, because when you take out the bag from a Sebo canister, it will have some debris within the space where the bag is put in the canister. And the suction power is a bit better from Miele. If Sebo can give a HEPA filtration option and get better filtration bags, I would go for the Sebo. Because I like the guarantee terms and the hard/carpet floor heads better from Sebo. You can't compare the suction power between canister and upright. The motor in the canister is much more powerfull.

1) do you find the Sebo heavy? I’ve read that some people regret their canister vacuums and complain of heaviness lugging it or can’t get used to dragging it around while vacuuming. I’m a small not very strong female who finds uprights heavy to lift up the stairs. 2) I heard e3 is sufficient for houses under 3000 sq ft./larger houses. What made you choose the d4? Thanks in advance.

Any issues with mid range performance????

Alex And Stuff, How long does the bag last, does it begin to have any oders? Does the canister tend to flip over, does it suffer from oversteer oscilations with the 4 wheel design?

Your voice is just like John McEnroe’s. I was waiting for you to yell… “you can’t be serious!” ❤

1. A vacuum that is HEPA compliant should emit no dust to speak of. On the other hand, if it generates an inappropriately aimed blast of wind, then it might stir up dust that may not settle in time for the vacuum to collect it. 2. I understand the simple physics of a bag design. Tell me how ANY bag design does not lose suction as it fills up. 3. I am not a fan of the construction quality of Dyson, but I do believe any such cyclonic design inherently maintains suction as it fills up. It is for that reason that dust collectors used in industrial applications (e.g., a wood shop) use cyclonic technology to drop dust into a trap before it gets anywhere close to the final stage HEPA filter that's proximate to the air exhaust port. 4. If you want something that truly traps fine dust, consider a Rainbox vacuum, the unique feature of which is it traps dust in a water bath, from which there is NO escape. It too never lost suction; the physics of its operation simply made that impossible. Its design permits one to pick up spills without fear of ruining the machine, or turning a dust bag into mud. I used to own one and only gave it up because my house cleaner just could wrap her head around something different. The regimen of pouring out its dirty water with each use had the side benefit of not creating a dark place in which germs can multiply until the bag is full and ready to toss. Use of water as the entrapment mechanism also means you never run out of bags. And water is essentially free.

Miele is the best

Enjoyed your video, I'm a vacuum collector and I think you made a great choice. I have a Miele straight suction canister, I have all hard floors so I don't need a power nozzle. I also have the Sebo D1, it's similar to the D4 but again it's a straight suction canister. I also have a Sebo Felix upright, it has a unique feature allowing you to remove the power head and attach a hard floor brush. I think Sebo is the best brand of vacuum you can get, they cost a bit more but they are very well made and should last for many years, you made a great choice.

I been loving my D4. Got it last week, and your video helped me realize to go white opposed to the black. Although I love the aesthetics of black, the scratches would have likely upset me to watch them accumulate. I already have a black car to deal with 😂😂. Thanks for the insight!

I’m buying a Sebo tomorrow. I’m so tired of these Hoover and shark disposables. But now you have me thinking about a canister vs upright.

I have have just bought a sebo professional d8 but the cord does not retract but have no idea how to manage the cable there doesnt seem to be any where to wind it do you know how would appreciate it ( it does show on the sebo channel wrapping it on the bottom but the picture is cut from the top so can't see how it wraps from the top)

Me personally I love miele and sebo, however I do find this test just a little unfair, because miele never made good uprights, they never had a good amount of cleaning performance, their canisters are way better, However a sebo was still a very good choice! Nice video.

2 years later... any issue from the fuse being pulled?

I hate the spinning lights on the D4. It's like scratching on a chalkboard. Miele is to Apple as Sebo is to Android. I have a Miele S528 but if I bought a new vacuum today I'd get either the Sebo E3, the really stealthy but weird Airsign or, most likely, the Zero G. The Zero G is uglier than sin but the floating canister is a game changer.

hi my friend is ur boot a structured toe or what did you go with. anyway beautiful boots. i’m one out of who knows a boot guy. i am 61 and have been wearing boots since the 7th grade. a guy in tennis shoes just isn’t cutting it. Com’on man. a real man has got to be in a pair of boots. tennis shoes are for ladies. anyway please share them sometime down the road when they’re showing some real wear. thanks for sharing Kevin

That is a great contrast love the two-tone with the false toungue’s. Great choice. Please do some follow up videos on these please thanks.

Very nice review. Do you still have it?

The Sebo D4 costs 2x as much as Miele was charging for the S7/U1 uprights before Miele discontinued them. The D4 is a capable unit (except the difficulty of using that large thing for carpeted stairs ...), and SEBO's attention to maintainability is great for longevity, but it's quite an investment. (over $1400 in most shops in the USA)

Love to see an update.

Wearing outdoor shoes inside the house 🤢

I totally agree that it's disappointing to not have any led lighting on the unit. I think the Miele power head and handle are engineered and set up better as far as settings go. I like the lower profile of the sebo et-1 power brush. If the Miele c3 and sebo d4 could have a baby, it might be the best vacuum ever.

How did you talk to people at Nick’s? I can’t find a customer service number to call.

I think it looks good. Awesome boots

Thanks, Alex. I just bought a Sebo today. Model E3 (which I think is one below the model you have). The same thing, I was aiming for a Miele C3, the dealer said the Miele's have gone too "mainstream," trying to please the discount sales, and now about ⅔ is made in CHY-NAH. He says the Sebo is still made in Germany. So, Sebo it was.

Great review. I love my D4 looks just like yours . Love the huge bag . My SEBO is about 4 years old . It scratches ez too but I don’t care what it looks like it’s just great .

I been thinking getting a canister vacuum as of late. Especaully get those hard to reach places that a regular vacuum cant reach like under certain furniture like bed or something too heavy to move. I was thinking ordering online but might check the local stores first. ^^ I currently have upright canister style one and few friends telling me to get a vacuum with bag since they say its easier to clean and it able to get more dust, fur, and other particles on rug and floor than upright. Least what they told me.

I am 100% getting the D4 and your video really helped me make my decision. It's for my cleaning business and I've spent sooooo long trying to decide. Excellent overview and I'll try to buy the white because of the scratching issue you mentioned.

SOLD

You've made a fantastic choice with the Sebo! As a vacuum geek & collector I have a preference towards Sebo over Miele simply because Sebo have always been a no nonsense manufacturer of truly professional vacuum cleaners, while Miele do make good vacuums they're more of a general household appliance brand.

I love the different colored kilties you have it is a nice contrast. Great looking boots man love the rough out.

Are there any other mods done to this car (mechanically speaking)?

im thinking perhaps i should do the mid muffler and valves first cuz its sounds like a bit quiet still

Do you have any objective proof that you can't get good HEPA filtered performance from a bagless vacuum? I have seen many objective tests that seem to show that perform every bit as well as the fancy bag ones.

This doesn't happen on 2018 with mild hybrid alternator.

My son Nobleman's Xchange Apothecary recommend them!!

Sebo seem to be one of the best range of vacumn cleaners as far as I can see at the moment. Those US only Riccar Vacumn cleaners look good too.

Do the straps flop around when you are not using the bag?

Alex That was a video I had been looking for, finally found it. Like yourself I have owned the Sargeant Seat on my 750 GS. Now own the 2020 R 1250 RS like yours. Now you have had it for a couple of seasons, did it break in quickly and is it still comfortable? My 750 GS just seemed to remain very comfortable. Recently sold that bike for the RS . thanks

we compared the Miele c3 Marin vs Sebo and went with Miele. Miele had the real HEPA filter that puts out literally zero particles so better for allergies. Had same suction. Around here there are many Miele dealers and parts and service are easily available. I want to get a Lindhaus cordless upright next. Also, upgrading the house central vac to a MD. Enjoy
