I know it sounds silly, but I ditched using the SB36's on domestics and went for an unbranded small one out of Argos@ £50. Picks up more than the Sebo and is easier to move around because its lighter. I was only expecting it to last 6 months - its still going after a year!

A bit like what Mike said, but you could alternatively use a henry with a turbocat attachment to pick up even more than a standard head - which is useless (without using a TM). The heads are about £85 but are very very good. Do a search on ebay for them. They have a rotating beater bar, and use the vacuum to drive it.

Gone the same way as you Kev after our Sebo 36 got broke on a domestic job a few years ago.

Been using a Vax pet bagless upright for £60,  Getting this one next week..Argos Value Range Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner only £42.99

Picked up the  vac this afternoon.  Me & the wife tried it out around the house (rugs/carpets) and it did a great job and the bonus bit it has a swivel head and it was not loud....

The main filter is at the top of the container like the Dyson's which are washable.

Putting it through it paces next week.
How you getting on with the vac & is it up to the job ?

Hi Rai

No...We had a Sebo 36 but it got ruined at a customer house ( broken fish tank ) years ago so we ended up using our Dyson.

We had 2 customers already ask about the vacuum cleaner because they were shocked how much we had got out of the carpet even though they vacuum b4 we turned up....One of them thought it was about  £300- 400 v/c and the other has already bought 2 one for them self & one for their mum because it's light weight also the vacuum cleaner has no name on it.

Doing a school this week with it

Its worth getting one its only £42.99 and you will find some of the guys on here use vacuum's like these.

Cheers?!!

Did you sort out a portable ?

[Raj]

Not yet.
I'm attending the cleansmart course in Nottm in Nov,so will see how that fares.
I'm getting as much knowledge before plunging in.
Hopefully have a day with a pro too before going for it

[Carpet2Clean]

Ok   Matt is a nice guy. Lots of machines to test out.

Went down the Prochem route years ago

Still got the Prochem Steempro ( over 10 years old ),but now been upgraded with h/d vac motors by Alltec.

The newest machine we use is from Alltec ( now 2 years old )

Chris and the team offer great customer service

[Raj]

There are SO many options aren't there?
Thought behind the cleansmart(Notti gham) route is its fairly local(I'm in the Premier League part of the East Midlands..Leicester!!) So any support is easily accessible??!

[Carpet2Clean]

Always best to buy a machine near to you for repairs etc

If you can give Alltec a call...( Chris / Kerry / Karra )

Good luck on your new venture
