Choosing the right SEBO Airbelt E Series vacuum isn’t just about picking a stylish appliance—it’s about finding that perfect balance between your flooring types, how you clean, and what matters most to your home’s health. At Vacuum Warehouse, we know our clients want lasting value, real performance, and solutions tailored to their lives. So let's get personal and practical, and help you discover which SEBO Airbelt E Series—Premium, Turbo, or Kombi—is honestly the best fit for you.
Quick Introduction: Why Choose SEBO Airbelt E Series?
SEBO vacuums have a reputation for German engineering, reliability, and filtration that’s tough to beat. The Airbelt E Series canisters are among the most popular for busy Canadian homes seeking whisper-quiet performance and robust cleaning—plus a degree of allergy protection only a few brands can match. But even within this elite family, the E1 Kombi, E2 Turbo, and E3 Premium have some very different strengths.
What All SEBO E Series Models Have in Common
- Impressive Power, Incredibly Quiet: SEBO’s high-performance motors mean plenty of consistent suction without shouting over your cleaning routine.
- Hospital-Grade S-Class Filtration: Every E Series traps fine dust, allergens, and even most microbes, making it perfect for asthma/allergy concerns.
- Patented Airbelt Bumper: Protects your furniture and walls—no more scuffs and gouges!
- Spacious Dust Bags: 0.92-gallon capacity allows for infrequent bag changes.
- Automatic Cord Rewind & Extended Reach: Up to a 37-foot cleaning radius, so you spend less time plugging and unplugging.
- On-board Accessories: Crevice, dusting, and upholstery tools always at your fingertips.
E1 Kombi – Best for Hard Floors & Light Area Rugs
The E1 Kombi is the model we recommend for simpler needs: if your space is dominated by hardwood, tile, or laminate with just the occasional low-pile rug, this is a straightforward, lightweight choice.
- Floor Tool: Combination (Kombi) nozzle with retractable bristles for both smooth flooring and delicate rugs. No mechanical brush roll—just pure suction.
- Great for: Hard flooring throughout, condos, and homes minimizing carpeting.
- Downside: Not suitable for cleaning medium or thick carpet due to lack of brush agitation.
E2 Turbo – Versatility for Homes with Mixed Flooring
The E2 Turbo bridges that gap for families who need more than suction alone. It introduces an air-driven turbo head, making it more capable for rooms with both hard floors and low-to-medium pile carpet.
- Floor Tools: Turbo head (air-driven rotating brush for carpets/rugs) and separate parquet brush for hard floors. No electric motor in the brush head, so it's light and easy to maneuver.
- Ideal User: Households with a good mix of carpet (but none that are very thick) and hard floors. Pet owners will appreciate the turbo tool’s help with surface hair removal.
- Limitations: The turbo brush is not as powerful for deep-cleaning thicker carpet—if that sounds like your home, keep reading!
E3 Premium – The Powerhouse for All Carpet Types & Allergies
The E3 Premium stands at the top of the Airbelt E Series, equipped with a commercial-quality electrically-powered brush for carpets (SEBO’s renowned ET-1 power head), plus an included parquet head for hard floors.
- Floor Tools: Electric brush head for all carpet types, including high-pile and plush; parquet brush for all hard floors.
- Who Needs This? Homes with lots of carpeting, thick area rugs, or anyone with severe allergies (the deeper agitation lifts out more allergens).
- Convenience: Variable suction controlled right on the handle, plus all the E Series features that make day-to-day cleaning easy.
- This is our best recommendation for: Multi-level houses, pet owners with allergy sensitivities, or anyone seeking the most thorough clean available in a compact canister.

Real-World Scenarios – Which Should You Choose?
- Hard floors everywhere, a few scattered rugs? Pick the E1 Kombi for convenience, affordability, and excellent daily cleaning.
- A mix of hard flooring and mostly low-to-medium carpet? The E2 Turbo offers fantastic flexibility, especially for under $1,000, and is perfect if you occasionally contend with pet hair.
- Tons of carpet, allergy woes, or homes with babies and pets? The E3 Premium truly shines for homes that demand the best deep cleaning and filtration. The variable electric brush head is a game-changer for carpets.
