Features of SEBO air belt C3.1 Vacuum Cleaners

• Convenient internal wiring (electrified wand): this is a high end vacuum feature - the electrical cords for the wand and powerhead are internal, and are connected automatically when taking the powerhead on and off the wand; no need to deal with plugs or frustrating reconnections
• Finger tip controls: the controls are on the handle to power the vacuum and powerbrush on and off, as well as adjust the strength of suction depending on what is being cleaned, all without bending over; this feature is typically found only on higher end vacuum cleaner models
• Telescopic wand: comes standard with vacuum and adjusts effortlessly and tools attach to it with ease; similar to our highest end vacuum, which speaks to the precision manufacturing of these parts
• Auto jam protection: both the vacuum and the power brush automatically shut off if a jam occurs
• Wand upright parking: clip on the canister holds the wand upright when using the bare floor tool; wand stands upright with powerhead tool without need for clip
• On-board tools: Tools are stored inside the vacuum canister for convenience - tools will not get lost or left behind in the closet with this feature
• Midweight vacuum: not as heavy as a full size canister vac
• Rubber coated wheels: prevent damage to floors and rotate 360° for easy maneuverability
• Air belt shock absorber & bumper guard: The soft foam bumper with its durable covering protects your furniture and vacuum from damage
• Large capacity vacuum bags: full size at 1.4 gallons to hold more dust & debris
• Quick-release: for ease of brush head change
• Access door on canister: for easy clog removal
• Large contact control switches: for power & cord retractor
• Extra long retractable power cord: 21 feet
• Powerhead indicator lights: green light indicates correct function; green and red light together indicate a reduced brush action; red light alone means power brush has shut off to prevent carpet damage or it is jammed
• 3-step S-Class filtration system: meets US HEPA standards for filtration of particles less than .3 microns

The first rate features on the Sebo air belt C3.1 are truly exciting to see on a canister vacuum in this price range. This is a power house of a vacuum that offers superior suction and user friendly controls and tools -- and it's a lighter weight overall than some of the high end models we carry. SEBO has certainly done their engineering homework, and it shows on this C3.1 model.

Pluses:

• Top of the line features at lower cost: SEBO is one of just a few brands offer the electrified telescopic wand in a vacuum cleaner under $1000. There is no need to worry about electrical connections or plugs when changing from powerhead to another attachment or vice versa. And, save time with the convenient handle-height adjustment when needing to clean items at different lengths, for example an end table, then the chair rail, then cobwebs on the ceiling. Simply adjust the height of the wand with the push of a button.
• Ease of use: vacuum feels almost self-propelled due to the ergonomic design of the powerbrush; finger-tip controls allow the operator to adjust the strength of suction depending on what is being cleaned; vacuum attachments come on and off smoothly with little resistance
• Durable: SEBO canister vacuum cleaners are made to last a very long time - longer than the majority of other vacuums
• S-Class filtration: A 3 stage filtration system meets US HEPA standards for filtering out smaller than 0.3 micron particles with 99.9% efficiency - appreciated for those with allergies or asthma
• Easy to change vacuum bag: simply push a button on the canister body, and the access door will pop open; the bag easily slides out thanks to it's plastic opening, for quick replacement
• Larger than standard vacuum bag: 1.4 gallon capacity vacuum bag is impressive for a midsize canister vacuum; great for those will larger homes or pets, since it will allow for longer vacuum time in between bag changes
• Keep tools in one place with on-board tool caddy: includes 3 tools that are stored neatly away inside the canister as pictured in features section above - available at the push of a button which pops the lid of the caddy open; 3 high grade, specialized tools fit snugly in place and snap on and off the vacuum wand easily
• Powerbrush has automatic carpet height adjustment: this feature works with a very clever tension sensing mechanism - as the fiber height causes more or less friction (tension), this automatically causes an adjustment to the brush height; as the fibers increase in height, more tension is produced, and the more the tension, the higher the brush will rise to reduce this tension
• Powerbrush vacuums particles directly up against a wall: another feature of the vacuum powerbrush is that on the right hand side of the brush, the bristles are positioned right up against the housing to enable you to vacuum right up to a wall
• Powerbrush will not tip over: when you leave the Powerbrush upright attached to the wand, it is well balanced enough so that it will not fall over; this is especially appreciated when storing a vacuum in the closet
• Convenient floor brush holder: SEBO designed a convenient clip on the rear of the canister so the bare floor brush can be taken around on board when vacuuming
• Automatic retractable cord: at the push of a large button on the canister, the cord quickly and smoothly winds back into place inside the canister
• Greater suction with unique design of parquet floor brush: this included bare floor brush has a unique design with ridges that allows for airflow through the brush, offering greater suction and effectiveness on floors
• Dust bag change indicator: a light on the canister will light up when the vacuum bag is full
• Canister bumper guard: the bumper guard has a thin piece of fabric around it so it helps to prevent marks on walls or furniture; it served well to protect furniture while we moved the vacuum from place to place
• Generous warranty: 3 years on non-wear parts, 5 years on motor is a longer than usual warranty given with a new vacuum cleaner
• Good vacuum manufacturer reputation: SEBO has an excellent reputation for durability and reliability; we've sold SEBO vacuums for several years with high customer satisfaction and almost zero returns

Minuses:

• Slightly noisy on highest power setting: average noise level until high power setting
• Has paper vacuum dust bags: although well-made, the SEBO vacuum bags are made of paper; some other vacuum brands offer fabric-like bags which we prefer for optimal overall performance
• Hose connection does not swivel: although the wheels rotate 360°, this vacuum does not give as much maneuverability as some others we've seen with swiveling hose connections
• No automatic dust seal for vacuum bags: when changing vacuum bags, one must plug the hole in the vacuum bag with a provided dust disc; because the separate dust "discs" can get lost, we wish this model had the convenience of self-closing dust seal vacuum bags offered with other vacuums. The manufacturer recommends taping the dust disc to the inside lid so that it's there when you need to change the vacuum bag.

Summary: We were very impressed by the SEBO air belt C3.1 vacuum cleaner for a number of reasons: a powerhead with superior suction, large capacity bags, and top of the line features only found in high end vacuum cleaners, but at a more affordable price. This is in addition to first-class filtering systems, easy snap on tools, and, of course, ease of use. We've had extremely high customer satisfaction for several years selling other SEBO vacuum models, so we trust the company that stands behind the name SEBO.
