Title: What Vacuum cleaner should I buy
Post by: David Satchwill on October 20, 2010, 12:08:38 pm: Hello,
I'm new to the industry and just purchased an existing business but the previous chap didn't vacuum the carpets, I'm going to and wondered should I buy a Sebo or are Dyson's up to the job?
Any advice much appreciated

If a Kirby could clean edges very easily like the sebo then I would say a 2nd hand Kirby.

If you want to do edges its a bit of a bind, except more so with the Royal then the Kirby.

I have used one and the result was amazing.

Post by: fenman on October 20, 2010, 04:40:39 pm: We use them on every job.
Superb piece of kit but knackering when you have to carry them up 3 flights of stairs.

I'm surprised that sebo haven't brought out a brush roll that is covered in bristles.

Post by: C Phillips on October 21, 2010, 08:34:46 pm: I have the Chemspec pile lifter vacuum, great piece of kit, no longer available now. I do not use it all the time due to the weight , so the BS36 comes out on 98% of jobs.

Post by: Nick Vassilev on October 21, 2010, 08:46:47 pm: Definitely Sebo BS36.
