If you’re considering investing in a top-of-the-range cylinder vacuum cleaner, the Sebo Airbelt E3 Premium +Boost might be the one for you. In this post, we’ll explore its key features, performance, and suitability to help you decide if it’s the right fit for your home.
The Sebo E3 Premium +Boost 2.0
The E3 Premium +Boost is Sebo’s flagship cylinder model, designed with powerful cleaning capabilities and versatility in mind. This is the Version 2 model, meaning it has seen improvements over earlier iterations without any noticeable change in appearance. Let’s dive deeper into what makes this model stand out. Start with our product information video below.
Is the E3 Premium +Boost Right for You?
A word of caution: Based on our experience, this machine may not be ideal for elderly users or those who find heavier appliances challenging to manoeuvre. The E3 Premium +Boost is a sturdy, powerful machine, which some may find cumbersome. We’ve occasionally received returns from customers in this demographic, so it’s something worth considering.
Sebo Cylinder Range Explained
Sebo offers a range of cylinder vacuums, each suited to different needs. They have the K series (small and compact) and the D series (large models, including the D4 for domestic use and the D8 and D9 for commercial use). We focus on the E series here as it provides a balanced size and performance level that suits a variety of homes.
Our bestsellers are the E3 Premium +Boost and the E1 Pet. The primary difference between the two is that the E3 Premium +Boost has a motorised head for enhanced cleaning power, making it more effective on various surfaces.
Key Features of the Sebo E3 Premium +Boost
Twin Motors and ET-1 Head
The E3 Premium +Boost is equipped with two motors, one in the main unit and one in the ET-1 head. This motorised head, also found on Sebo’s Dart and Felix models, has adjustable height settings, making it suitable for various floor types. The brush roll can be easily removed for cleaning, making maintenance convenient.
Boost Function for Extra Power
Sebo introduced a temporary boost function to bypass the EU-imposed 900-watt limit (still in effect in the UK). By pressing the boost button, you can increase the power to 1200 watts for three to four minutes, ideal for tackling stubborn dirt. After this period, it automatically reverts to standard power, though you can enable it again as needed.
Floor Suitability
While the E3 Premium +Boost handles most flooring types effectively, Sebo does not recommend it for resin floors or very deep-pile carpets. For the latter, consider Sebo’s X series, which has a self-levelling feature designed for deep carpets. However, the E3 Premium +Boost’s height and speed adjustments make it suitable for standard carpets, hard floors, mats, and rugs.
Performance Test
To give you a glimpse of its cleaning power, in our video above, we tested the E3 Premium +Boost on a typical carpeted floor with a bit of powder spread out. The results show just how well this machine handles common household messes, even in challenging areas.
Convenient On-Board Tools
The E3 Premium +Boost comes with three on-board tools:
- Crevice tool for narrow spaces.
- Upholstery tool for sofas and other fabric-covered furniture.
- Dusting brush with a triangular shape.
If you’re transitioning from a Dyson, you’ll find adaptors to use your Dyson tools with Sebo vacuums on our website, along with other handy accessories.
Easy Bag Replacement and Minimal Maintenance
The E3 Premium +Boost uses a three-and-a-half-litre bag, which is easy to replace and features an indicator that alerts you when it’s full. Unlike cyclonic vacuums, there are no filters to wash, making it a low-maintenance option for busy households. Just replace the filters every couple of years.
Unique Airbelt Design
The airbelt – a foam-padded, protective strip around the machine – acts as both an exhaust vent and a bumper, preventing marks on your walls and furniture as you pull the vacuum around. This is an especially thoughtful touch for maintaining your home’s aesthetics.
Sebo E3 Weight and Portability
At around nine to ten kilos, this is not a lightweight machine, especially if you need to carry it up and down stairs. For elderly users or those with joint issues, the weight might be a concern. If you’re seeking a light, portable vacuum, you might prefer a smaller model.
Honest Advice on Returns
We strive to provide as much detail as possible to prevent unnecessary returns. We’re transparent about the machine’s suitability, and if you’re uncertain, we recommend purchasing from a retailer that offers more flexible return policies. If you return a machine to us, it will be at your own expense, and you may have a deduction for loss of value.
The Sebo E3 Premium +Boost is a powerful, durable vacuum suited to those who value cleaning efficiency and versatility. While it may not be ideal for all, particularly older users, it’s one of the best cylinder vacuums on the market for those who can manage its weight. If you’re ready to experience the cleaning power of the E3 Premium +Boost, you’ll find our prices very keen indeed.
