If you can find a shop selling Sebo,have a look at them.I have one on recommendation from a friend who owns a vacuum cleaner spares/sales/repairs shop and he said that he has only had 1 faulty return in 18 years! He loves dysons as his business picked up dramatically when they became popular,and he showed me the pile of around 40-50 shitty dysons that are broken round the back of his shop!
If you do buy a sebo,be prepared to have it 10-20 years though
