Comparing SEBO ET Power Heads
Welcome to this comprehensive article exploring the range of vacuum power heads available from SEBO. As a leading name in the world of high-performance vacuum cleaners, SEBO is renowned for its innovation and precision in crafting electric power heads to meet your cleaning needs. SEBO offers an array of specially configured power heads compatible with upright, canister and central vacuums alike. In this blog, we’ll delve into the distinct features and compatibilities of SEBO’s ET power heads.
What are vacuum power heads?
A vacuum power head, also known as a power nozzle or motorized brush, is an essential component of many modern vacuum cleaners, particularly those designed for deep cleaning carpets and rugs. This attachment typically sits at the base of the vacuum and features either an air-driven or electric motor-driven brush roll or beater bar. As the vacuum cleaner moves over the carpet, the power head agitates the carpet fibers, loosening embedded dirt, dust, and debris. The rotating brush helps to lift and pull dirt from the depths of the carpet, making it easier for the vacuum’s suction to effectively remove the contaminants. The combination of powerful suction and the mechanical action of the brush roll makes the vacuum power head a crucial tool for achieving a thorough and efficient cleaning of carpets, especially in high-traffic areas or homes with pets and heavy soiling.
All SEBO ET power heads are electric, motor-driven power heads. They are German-engineered for durability and longevity. They feature manual height adjustment of 4 levels so that the brush roll can be raised or lowered depending on the thickness of the carpet or flooring being vacuumed. While they are particularly useful for cleaning carpets, they can be set to the lowest brush height setting and used on hard floors as well. The neck swivels to provide an ergonomic experience of movement precision. If you encounter a stray sock that gets caught in the power head, the brush roll will automatically shut off and alert you with warning lights. Lastly, the brush roll of an ET power head is incredibly easy to clean or replace, so you can easily remove hair or string that may get wound around it.
The differences between the SEBO power head
All SEBO ET power heads share common features of manual height adjustment, automatic brush shut-off when encountering an obstruction, easy brush roll removal, and useful warning lights aiding optimal height adjustment. The way that SEBO ET power heads differ is by width and neck configuration. All ET-1 power heads are 12 inches wide and all ET-2 power heads are 15 inches wide.
The F1 and F2 classifications denote a neck design tailored to fit the standard universal diameter for central vacuum systems, including an external power cord. Essentially, these alterations enable SEBO ET power heads to function with most central vacuum systems regardless of brand. The difference between the F1 and F2 designations is the length of the power cord, essential for accommodating various lengths of central vacuum wands or different plug locations on central vacuum hose handles.
