Title: Adding weight to the sebo duo
Post by: heritagecleaning on August 04, 2013, 12:20:19 pm

OK, it might sound silly but I have been thinking about this for a bit, i.e. how it would be nice if the Sebo Duo had a bit more 'down force'.

So anyway I was at a car boot sale this morning and there was this bloke selling weights from an old fashioned scales.  I bought 2  four-ounce ones which I intend to try sticking on top of the machine. So is this:

a) Worth a try
b) Won't make any difference
c) Some kind of cry for help because I turned 40 yesterday.

It would look like the head of a Dalek.
I have also thought the same though  :)

I used to put a bit of extra weight either by pushing down, or by putting my foot on it, but the answer was just to get the rotary in and use that, but then I turned 46 and bought a red, racy, floormac   ;D

Use more dwell time, remember your sinner circle when one part gets smaller you increase one of the other parts to make up for it.

Having recently got a big CRB, I realised how crap (because so light) our old Duo is. I think it's worth doing, though more than 8oz - if you f**k it up, throw it away & get a proper CRB.
