Title: Vacuum: Karcher v Sebo...are they the same?
Post by: justin brown on June 21, 2010, 07:17:17 pm: Hi

I have over the past 6 months bought 2 Karcher vacuums. 1 is a CV36/2 and the other is a CV38/2. They look pretty identical to the Sebo and the performance is excellent (although i have never used a sebo before so cant really compare) I have heard that Sebo make the Karcher machine or vice-versa, and at a glance they do look the same. Does anyone have any more info on this?

Post by: justin brown on June 24, 2010, 08:04:56 am: the karcher cv36/2 is a great vacumm. however, Karcher have now updated the model (CV38/2) but it does not look the same, looks much cheaper. The 'old' CV36/2 did look identical to the Sebo and was brilliant....why do manufactures have to change things for the worse, all about cost cutting no doubt!
