Title: Best vac
Post by: Steven Butler on May 07, 2013, 07:22:43 pm

I have a sebo bs36 but was wondering what others use.... Also are there any smaller vacs that can perform like the bs36?

I've had a lindhaus for about 8 years now, cosmetically it looks knackered but can still suck a golf ball threw a pair of handlebars :o

Dart 2 at home, great vacuum, not sure would be up to getting battered about in van though

I was always a fan of sebos but have gone to a kirby and find it an improvement and a more robust machine, It is quite a bit heavier but was reguarly havine to replace parts on sebo or removing blockages. Have not had any blockages with kirby as it is 2" dia opening.

My first sebo lasted 15 years, I still use the base of it on another machine.
The current new ones are now poorly made, with thin cheap plastic, if they fall over the casings smash.
They seem to wear where the base fits to the upright section, and often loose electrical contact.

Seriously thinking of giving all staff a Henry  :(

After reading that about Sebo will stick to Kirby.
Was going to buy a BS36 but if they are easily
breakable I won't bother.
