      • Larger body.
      • 40-foot cord, one of the longest for canister vacuums.

      • 25-foot cord, more standard length.

  2. Tool Storage:

    • Sebo D4:

  5. Filtration:

    • Both models feature hospital-grade S-Class filtration.

      • Replaceable gasket seal with filter.
      • Larger filter, possibly impacting airflow.

      • Integrated gasket seal in the lid.
      • Smaller filter.

  6. Swivel Wheels:

    • Sebo D4:
      • Four swivel wheels for easy maneuverability.
    • Sebo E3:
      • Two swivel wheels at the corners and one in the middle, more prone to tipping.

  7. Air Belt System:

    • Both models have an Air Belt system that distributes airflow evenly to avoid blowing dust around and protecting furniture.

  8. Hose Design:

    • Sebo D4:
      • Swiveling hose with 360-degree turn radius, offering greater maneuverability.
    • Sebo E3:
      • Rigid hose, requiring more effort to maneuver.

Usability Differences

  • Sebo D4:
    • Easier to maneuver with the swivel hose and large cord.
    • Better suited for larger areas due to its design.
  • Sebo E3:
    • More traditional canister vacuum with rigid hose, potentially less convenient.

Conclusion

  • Both vacuums are high-quality and durable, expected to last 20-30 years.
  • The main differences lie in the hose design, cord length, and bag size.
  • Aidan prefers the Sebo D4 for its usability and convenience but acknowledges that personal preference and specific needs may lead others to choose the Sebo E3.
