Best praise vs top criticism for Sebo Airbelt E3 Premium
“All hardwood/tile with only area rugs would be a perfect use case for a canister vacuum. They allow you to "broom" the floor with a parquet tool -vs- straight line forward & backward like an upright (Felix) would require. Between the E3 and D4, it's really a matter of preference, budget, features that may stand out to you, etc. The immediate case to be made for the D4 will likely be the size of the bags as they are much larger than the E3, yet cost the same per box. That's a lot more dog hair being packed in before needing to be changed, and thus lower running costs (despite the higher up front cost). It also has a 40ft cord -vs- a 30ft cord, so depending on your home size - that could mean less "plug moving" during a large vacuuming session.”
“We won’t hate you, we know that the CX1 is a bad machine that Miele only put out to avoid losing market share. The CX1 is arguably Miele’s worst product (because it’s bagless) the regular C1 lineup is bagged. You want a regular C1 cat and dog, C3 Homecare or Sebo k3/e3. You could probably make do with a turbo head, but if you have the budget nothing replaces an electric powerhead even on rugs.”
