The Sebo K3 Canister vacuum cleaner is the lightest weight canister with power nozzle on the market. Weighing in at 12 lbs., carrying this vacuum up and down stairs is a breeze. The wheels on the canister seem a little cheap for Sebo's standards, however I haven't seen any repairs on this yet. I really haven't had any repairs at all on Sebo, period. The only thing you will want to be careful about is vacuuming up the cord with the power nozzle. The brushes spin very fast, and will damage the cord quickly. This vacuum is VERY highly rated by our customers. Expect a good 25 years of service.

I recently purchased a Miele Callisto canister locally after reading so many great reviews. Sorry Amazon I usually like to buy from you. But I felt it was a big enough purchase and something I would need quickly!

I brought it home and it would not work. Turns out the wand had electrical problems. So I returned it for a full refund.

I was still searching for a small, lightweight,powerful, quiet canister with a power head ( for pet hair).

I returned to the leading vacuum retailer locally, who knew all about Miele's electrical problems. There actually were 3 Miele's in the store that were out of warranty and being fixed!!! This
store will repair any vacuum. But they will not sell Miele.

Anyway, he showed me the Sebo Airbelt K3. His terrific demonstration, showed me the quality and well thought out functionality of this little red canister and I went happily home with it!

The controls are convenient and easy to use. The power nozzle, ET-1, is great and very easy to maneuver. It has well padded bumpers, easy change bags, easy to use tools and yes, it is super QUIET and very powerful.

I am very grateful for my bad experience with Miele. Otherwise I might never have found the Sebo!

After much research we purchased the Sebo K3. We have had a Hoover and Kenmore canister vacuum previously - and are committed to this style of vacuum. However we've been disappointed at the durability of our most recent vacuum. We tried out the different makes and models in many vacuum stores, and settled on this one. It had a sturdiness and no-nonsense feel about it - and from our research, we trust that it will serve for years. But, as with anything you buy - time will tell.

The components are handy - attached to the unit. The releases are basic and my children have figured them out. The brush-roller can be removed easily to clean the hair and strings that get wrapped around it. Height is easily adjusted on the wand, and the handle swivels fully both to the right and left (no lefty- adjustments needed). The "airbelt" we interpret to mean the fabric covered foam strip that encircles the vacuum - which will not scratch furnishings as it bumps up against them. It vacuums well -- we've only owned it one month -- be happy to update this review as years go by.

This little dust brush is wedge shaped & the intake hole is so small that the bristles fold in upon themselves then clog up the brush. Absolutely needs to be redesigned
