Upright, canister and stick vacuums beta · Sebo
Owners keep the D4 for years of strong, consistent suction on carpet and pet hair, trading a heavier canister and a steep upfront price for filtration and durability that hold up.
Owners describe clearly noticeable suction and filtration, often citing less dust and odor in the house after switching from bagless machines, and several say it is the best vacuum they have owned for pet hair on carpet.
Bag capacity is divided: some owners like that the bag takes months to fill, while others find that when it does get dense, airflow and pickup drop off until the bag is replaced.
Pick up to three. You get a page with just those, side by side, on the subjects owners raised.
Once the newness wears off, the suction and filtration keep being the thing owners notice, especially with pets: less dust in the air, carpets that look and feel clean, and, for some, a lot less odor after vacuuming than their old machine produced. Emptying the bag becomes an infrequent chore rather than a weekly one, since several owners report going months between bag changes.
The canister shape takes some adjustment. A few owners mention getting used to hauling and steering it around furniture compared to an upright, and the swivel hose is called out as something that helps with that. The size and weight are a known trade-off some accept for the performance, and a couple of owners specifically weigh it against smaller, lighter alternatives.
Owners who have had the D4 for months to a few years describe it as solid and built to last, with several expecting it to outlive cheaper bagless machines by a wide margin. Build quality comments mention a bag that stays surprisingly under capacity for a long time and a machine that keeps performing the same way it did on day one.
A few owners report specific issues: one unit letting dust out at the dock and being returned, and a used unit with a worn motor inlet seal that needed a manual teardown to fix. When the bag gets packed too dense, airflow and suction visibly drop until the bag is swapped. Long-term accounts here are still fairly thin for a product with this many owners, so it is worth saying plainly that most of what is reported so far covers the first year or so of ownership rather than many years of use.
Counted from the owners who raised each subject, not from everyone. A subject is judged once at least 4 owners raise it.
11 more subjects came up from fewer than 4 owners each, which is not enough for a fair reading. To see how it stacks up, compare it with another machine.
