Bag vs. Bagless Systems

Bagless Container Full	Same Contents in a SEBO Dust Bag

Bagless systems present two potential problems:

1. Hygienic Dirt Disposal - keeping the air free of allergens and dirt/dust can be difficult when emptying a bagless system. Bagless systems do not offer a sealed method to dispose of collected debris without creating a dust cloud and reintroducing what the vacuum picks up, back into the air. To prevent the release and exposure to dust/allergens when emptying, SEBO vacuums have patented a sealable 3-layer bag. Because the bag comes away with the cover, you can dispose of it without handling it with no dust escape.

2. Low Capacity -  a bagless system is prone to fill rapidly when picking up light fluffy material such as pet hair. This requires frequent emptying of the dirt collection containers and higher exposure to household dust. Additionally, when the air is restricted from moving around the bagless container, the airflow through the vacuum will drop. Less air moving through a vacuum means less suction and poor performance. In a SEBO vacuum, air travels through all areas of the dust bag which keeps air flow and suction from declining and also compacts fluffy material to increase capacity. A well designed dust bag system can hold many times more material than a bagless system.

SEBO S-Class Filtration

With today's increasing health concerns regarding the rise of allergy and asthma sufferers, it's important to maintain a pollution-free environment in the home. Consumers need a household vacuum with high filtration they can trust to remove dust, dirt, and allergy-causing particles without re-circulating them into the living areas. Clean air not only helps to prevent certain respiratory problems, it also means a lot less dusting.

The SEBO C-series machines come standard with extremely efficient filtration systems. SEBO vacuums are superior in capturing household dust and preventing the spread of contaminants back into your indoor air environment. SEBO vacuums feature a Totally Sealed High Efficiency Vacuum Filtration System which actually improves the surrounding air as you vacuum. The entire vacuum cleaner has been tested to meet stringent particle retention standards. The exhaust air has been independently proven to meet the S-Class filtration standard of 99.9% to 0.3 microns (1/300th size of human hair). For particles of 1 micron and larger, which include pollens, dust mites, mold spores and most animal dander, the filtration rate is 100%. Tests by the British Allergy Foundation have shown that these SEBO vacuums produced zero levels of detectable airborne dust mite allergen. Measurements were also performed by SLG/Chemnitz in Germany to confirm S-Class standards for SEBO vacuums.

Why should I worry about Filtration?

The quality of air is becoming an increasingly important issue. The problems of "indoor air pollution" is getting national attention because of the growing numbers of people experiencing persistent headaches, sore throats, burning eyes, and asthma and allergy flare-ups related to the quality of indoor air.

After the energy crisis of the 1970's, homes were constructed to be more energy efficient. While sealed buildings save money, they also shut off the healthy transfer of outside air. As a result, people are now exposed to much higher levels of contaminants such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, pollen and dust mites.

Does the SEBO vacuum have a HEPA filter?

Just because a machine has a great filter doesn't mean it has great filtration. Most vacuum companies with high filtration are actually quoting a specification made by the manufacturer of the filter. Their claims do not take into consideration that air can escape the machine through leaks in the machine or exterior bags. The following is from an article on this subject from Indoor Environment Review, March 1998 issue:

"While researchers have studied a few vacuums that contained the high-efficiency particulate air, or HEPA, filters, most manufacturers claim their vacuums are "HEPA quality". We can only imagine what the average consumer is thinking they're buying when they bring a "HEPA" vacuum home.

"New test results presented at a recent EPA conference on particulates proved there's no guarantee of filtration quality when it comes to seeing the word "HEPA" on a vacuum. Researchers found that HEPA filters must be tightly sealed in the system to be of use in capturing particulates. In addition, some vacuums tested had HEPA filters that were so small, they weren't efficient at certain (air) flow rates. So just what can be considered an efficient vacuum in today's marketplace?

One researcher, Susan Goldsmith of InterBasic Resources, Inc., suggests consumers look for some kind of certification on the vacuum, where the cleaner and filter was tested, and whether the entire assembly or filter was tested before purchasing a vacuum cleaner with a so-called HEPA filter.

The SEBO achieves its "S-Class" Filtration rating due to its superior combination of filter media and airtight machine design. Measuring the SEBO as a complete unit gives a more accurate measurement of its true filtration performance. The S-Class filtration standard is the capture of 99.9% of all particles as small as 0.3 microns. The Industry Standard for HEPA (High Efficiency Particle Arresting) filters is the capture of 99.97% of all particles to 0.3 microns. If you wish to obtain the HEPA standard of filtration you can purchase the optional SEBO HEPA Service Box, which includes "Ultra" dust bags and a HEPA replacement unit filter.

Major Product Details

Main Housing Features	Brush Agitation and Vacuum Suction
Electronic Controls	Quick Unit Disassembly
Convenient Dust Bag Access		5 Year Guarantee Toothed Gear Belts
Easy Roller Brush Maintenance

Flat-to-Floor Profile - The SEBO upright vacuums are designed to lay flat on the floor and are only 5.5 inches high in this position. This allows the user to vacuum those hard to reach areas such as under beds and below furniture.

Ergonomic Handle with Power Control - Handle is designed and positioned to reduce wrist and arm fatigue. Easily accessible electronic power control switch on the handle turns the vacuum and power head ON/OFF.

Multi-Stage Certified Clean Air Filtration System - Totally sealed and certified clean air vacuum begins with a 3 layer dust bag. Next, a fiberglass-free hospital-grade micro-filter captures remaining particles and protects the motor. The third stage contains fiberglass-free micro-exhaust filter to clean the exhaust air the vacuum emits.

Full Size On-Board Tools - The most popular full size vacuum attachments are easily accessible. Crevice and upholstery tools are stored at the rear of the main housing unit. Dusting brush is connected to the vacuum handle for quick access.

Automatic Power Shut Off and Overload Protection - should the power brush get stuck, such as when accidentally picking up a cloth towel, shirt, belt, etc, the power automatically shuts off in three seconds to prevent damage and allow easy removal of the clog. No disassembly is required, simply pull the item straight out from the power head and turn the vacuum off/on to reset the power head and you are right back to vacuuming.

Simple Filter Replacement - Simply pull the cover release button on the front of the housing and the interior of the unit is accessible for dust bag and micro-filter replacement. Placing the supplied dust bag seal discs on the used dust bag keeps dust from escaping during disposal. Recommended filter replacement period is when 20 dust bags have been filled or when a significant drop of suction is noticed, such as after a damaged dust bag was being used or when extremely dirty or clogged with dust.

Manual Roller Brush Adjustment - The G1 can be set at various brush heights according to carpet height and floor type. High setting for high pile carpet, low setting for bare floors and low pile carpeting. This ensures the proper fiber agitation is used to optimize cleaning effectiveness.

5 Year Guarantee Power Brush Gear Belts - fiberglass woven toothed gear belt is guaranteed for 5 years not to slip, stretch, crack or break and should last a lifetime. Power head belts that stretch and slip will slow down the beater brush and agitation, leading to poor performance. Belts that don't hold up under use can be an inconvenience and costly repair.

Electronic Controls - If the vacuum's air flow pathway becomes restricted due to the dust bag being full or a clog in the system, the "Bag Full or Clog" indicator light on top of the base power head will illuminate to prompt the user to replace the dust bag or remove the clog. The "Check Brush" light will illuminate if there is an obstruction in the brush roller or if the brush roller is deteriorated and is not providing enough agitation action. It is also used to indicate the proper carpet height adjustment. The "Check Brush" light will illuminate if the roller brush is not set low enough for effective cleaning.

Easy Maintenance - The entire vacuum cleaner can be disassembled to its basic parts in seconds with no tools. This allows for easy maintenance should a clog or obstruction occur. Brush rollers are easily replaced. With the removal of an access door and a push of a button, the brush roller will slide out.

Vacuuming the home with conventional vacuum cleaners can create indoor air quality problems. Conventional vacuum cleaners don't utilize High Efficiency Filtration, or are not sealed units that are certified to filter out at least 99.9% of all particles down to 0.3 microns (1/300th the size of a human hair). Sealed vacuums that utilize High Efficiency Filtration remove particles and irritants other conventional vacuums can't remove. If you are not vacuuming your house with a Certified Sealed Vacuum System, you may be allowing house dust, dirt, bacteria and allergens such as mold spores, pollen and dust mites to be redistributed back into your surrounding indoor air. Failure to extract these particles from the home contributes to their build-up and proliferation which may trigger unhealthful allergy and asthmatic reactions in you and your family.

Household Dust - Household dust consists of tiny particles of dirt, portions of fibers, pollen, chemical residues, mold spores, dead skin flakes, pet hair, animal dander, decaying organic matter and microbiological contaminants such as viruses, bacteria and fungi. Dust mites are a common indoor allergen nuisance and feed on several components of house dust such as dead skin flakes.

Choosing a Vacuum Cleaner

Using a vacuum cleaner is an individual experience and personal preferences will be a major part of deciding which vacuum to purchase. If you are using a canister or upright vacuum now and you are satisfied with the performance, maneuverability, tools and experience, then you may want to continue with that style of vacuum.
