When it comes to the quality of a vacuum cleaner, many consumers begin their search by looking into the product's country of origin. After research has been properly conducted, it is highly likely that two of the brands remaining will be Miele and SEBO. Each of these brands are German manufactured and pride themselves in offering quality vacuum cleaners and replacement parts to new and existing customers. When it comes to German vacuum cleaner brands, SEBO and Miele tend to be the most well known and allow for their products to speak for themselves. Wessel-Werk is another vacuum brand that is manufactured in Germany which also has gained much notoriety in the industry. Their high quality attachments and power nozzles offer the optimal performance from the vacuums they are used on.
SEBO was founded in 1978 by a group of engineers who sought to make a vacuum that was not only efficient and high performing for the consumer, but also convenient. This German vacuum brand was the first vacuum manufacturer to offer many features that should not be taken for granted when considering a new vacuum for your home or business. Some of these features include an integrated hose and wand on their upright vacuums, as well as a clutch protection which prevents damage to the brushroll and motor if something happens to become lodged in the vacuum head. Other features of the SEBO vacuum cleaners include electrostatic microfilters, S-class filtration and a soft bumper around the canister vacuums which helps to prevent damage to furniture and walls.
Miele was founded in 1899 and has since worked to become one of the most common household names that is synonymous with quality products. They began producing vacuum cleaners in 1927 and the rest was history. Miele currently has ten active factories in Germany where the majority of the workforce is involved with industrial engineering and production. Miele vacuum cleaners commonly come with HEPA filtration which is highly recommended for allergy and asthma sufferers, and come standard with a 1200 Watt Miele Vortex motor. Their one-of-a-kind German manufactured motor powers their vacuum cleaners which are some of the most versatile machines available today. Miele canister vacuums and upright vacuums are great for all surfaces.
German vacuum brands take pride in their engineering and the quality of the product whereas other brands, that are primarily manufactured in parts of Asia, focus more on quantity over quality. While SEBO and Miele tend to be in the spotlight in terms of the German vacuum manufacturers, other high quality brands such as Wessel-Werk and Vorwerk are also made in Germany, and also have great engineering credentials. When looking for a new vacuum cleaner, make sure to make an informed decision and consider the engineering that goes into the product before you pull the trigger on something you may regret down the road.
