Sebo Airbelt E1 Excel - turbo brush design fault
Bought a Sebo Airbelt E1 Excel, after our Miele died, was very happy to begin with. Main unit fine - however, the turbo brush no longer sucking up dust etc. Cleaned rotary brush as best I could, to no benefit. Obviously something wrong within the brush box - but unlike Miele unable to gain access inside!!! Looked online, typically build up of hair etc around spindle. But built in obsolence meant to buy a replacement unit at £69 (cheapest price). Then found YouTube video explaining it was a usual fault and how to access and repair the problem without having to purchase another unit. Presenter also said that this sort of inaccessibility issue was untypical for Sebo. Anyway followed the video, hair indeed around interior spindle - obvious design fault - so at least should make turbo brush units accessible to rectify without having to resort to buying a new unit.
