Independent vacuum dealers are finding the outstanding features of the expensive SEBO C3.1 powerhead canister vacuum to be very appealing to buyers in the United States luxury market. Competing primarily with other German engineered vacuums, such as Miele, the SEBO C3.1 offers durability, superior filtration, full size tools, ergonomic handles, a unique air belt bumper guard and a warranty that's hard to beat.

An all around superior machine, the C3.1's biggest claim to fame is its filtration and outstanding ability to capture and contain one of the highest levels of dirt. With multiple layers of filtration, this model relies on a three-layer paper bag, a fan-fold hospital grade microfilter, a large-area micro- exhaust filter, and an airbelt filter/furniture guard. This filtration system meets the stringent European S-class standard, which is essentially the same standard as the American HEPA standard.

Convenient to use as well as effective, this model offers ergonomic telescopic wands with easy-access fingertip controls. The rubber-coated wheels, combined with the dual purpose airbelt, work overtime to protect your furniture from damage. The machine is lightweight and has an access door for easy clog removal. Designed with longevity in mind, it can be easily repaired by a qualified service technician.

If your intent is to replace previous cheap vacuums with one that can be serviced and remain reliable for years, the C3.1 is definitely worth consideration. The upfront investment is large, but the anticipated performance and reliablility of SEBO's C3.1 can be well worth it in the long run. .
