Anyone selling a spare Sebo Duo around £100-£120 need 1 a.s.a.p.
Cheers Phil.
-
Why dont you just buy a brand new one for only about £100 more and if moneys an issue if you buy it off the likes of restormate you get 30 days credit.
Just a thought :)

Maybe use your rotary as well to help if your using m power etc mate.
-
Yeah a 2nd hand 15" rotary is doable for that much money, it's far more versatile than a duo and will give better agitation with the right pads. The downside is you don't really want to that sort of thing up stairs and it tight spot in peopes homes.
I had one now I use small size rotaries, much better.
-
the thing is i can't afford £300 for a dry fusion restore brush and i only need for blacktop really so thought a duo would suffice????????
Cheers Phil.
-
I've tried a duo on blacktop, and didnt find it very effective. It's a bit lightweight to really brush it in, but others might have had better experience.
-
Seen the one on eBay?

Seen it Dennis offered him £100 he said he'd take £120 so i said yes then he said too much interest so gonna let it run lol.

Phillip,
Sebo duo's tend to be a bit fragile and not beefy enough on things like black top. Why not use a red or white pad under your DF machine?

You can get them from your local cleaning supplies place, only a few quid. White, tan or red should do it but make sure you lubricate it well before use and try it out on one of your own carpets to make sure it doesn't cause damage.

I have used the tan ones before on a really nasty job, so they do work, but as Simon says make sure you put plenty of hot liquid down.... :D
-
That's what worries me using other things thats a potential risk make sure this make sure that at least with the sebo or restore brush i shouldn't have to worry lol.
-
Gosh, Phillip. It couldn't be easier. Buy a pad, lubricate it with some shampoo or DF fluid and try it on some of your carpet. All you have to do is try it, what's difficult about that and you'll have saved a load of money.
Simon
-
Ok Simon just need reasuring lol i need 17" pads and the ones on ebay are blue will they work???
-
Phillip,
Ok, 17 inch white, tan or red. The colour indicates the abrasiveness of each, so you need the softest ones, white is the softest, tan and red a bit more abrasive, get all three and then lubricate both the carpet & the pad first and give them a whirl, but do it on your own carpets first so you can experiment and find the one that gives you good agitation without damaging the carpet. You should never use dry pads no matter the colour.
Simon
-
The best thing you can do is buy a grey xr scrub pad off world of clean, sew it onto a DF pad and bobs yer uncle! Prespray with your chosen product ,scrub then pad it as normal. In fact if you usethis method with all your DF jobs you will notice a big difference. £35 well spent. Forget the duo !
Mike
-
Good advice also the white pads are good for black sock marks in carpet ;)
-
Not sure about that grey XR pad, it could be too abrasive on some carpets which is why it is better imo to have two or three different onesso you can use the one that suits the circumstances best (and doesn't damage the carpet)
Simon
-
I could just sell you mines I never use it!!
-
How much???
-
Will this be a good buy for using on blacktop and for agitation???

-
it is exactly the same as your "fire engine" dry fusion machine BUT without heat............
buy some tan pads and some white pads and use those Phillip... they really do work.
I only LM clean so I can talk with some experience here.... ;D ;D
-
Phillip,
You seem determined to spend money you don't need to. You've already got 98.5% of what you are looking for in your DF machine, just buy a couple of pads for a tenner and of you go, problem solved.
Simon
-
do the pads last a while or are they 1 job then bin and were should i buy from?
-
for a black top pub you will probably use 2 or 3 pads both sides but still a lot cheaper than buying a sebo that will not do the job as well.
try flea bay

Your local cleaning supplier.

I bought one in September.
It does work brilliantly I must say, the one terrible oversite with the construction of the Duo is that the plastic shell is so thin that within two weeks it had been accidentally smashed to bits. I did use parcel tape around it for a while but a few weeks ago it just fell to bits and is unusable. What a waste of £230-00 approx. >:(
If only Sebo made the shell from the same thickness as the Sebo 36, it would be so much better. I think I will save up and buy an Envirodry some time next year.
If you buy one treat it with kid gloves!
-
Just renewed my sebo duo after 6 years regular use. My envirodry gen 4 which i use much less often has been more trouble because the plastic side panels keep cracking.

Phil

-
Phillip,
The trouble is you still haven't solved the problem you originally asked about, black top. If it is a Sebo Duo you've bought it won't touch black top in places like pubs etc, and will simply skip over it as it is nowhere near heavy or beefy enough for that kind of thing, excellent on domestics tho.
Simon

cheers phil,nice to have met you.mike

you can't please all the people all the time ???
