So I have just witnessed the end of my trusty Duo - maybe forever, I don't know.

It started making increasingly loud clonking noises and then the drive to the bushes disappeared completely leaving the motor whirring.

I suppose I should take it apart and have a look. Does anyone on here know what usually causes them to fail and what I should be looking for?

Much appreciated

Or get an envirodri

Or replace the drive belts.

or get a rotary...... and use it...

On stairs or in small bedrooms they come into their own Hector.

Just had it open - one of the posts that the drive cogs are pinned to has sheared off. We've glued it back in place. Don't know if it will work, if not I can always keep it for spares (or sell).

Same thing happened to mine lasted about a month , then I got a rotary

Why is everyone saying 'get a rotary', assuming I don't have one? I do, but it's hard to agitate stairs one-handed with a rotary

[*Hector*]

use a hand brush on the stairs then... you can use that one handed

Well, sure, I know, but it's so easy to do it with the Sebo.

not if it's broken

I actually prefer the prochem stiff hand brush on stairs
I think it gets a better result.

Now working like it was new again
