Pilipala of UK Parents Lounge is yet another vacuum cleaner owner who’s less than inpressed with the power and reliability of her current machine. She’s finding her Panasonic MCE 4101 eating its way through drive belts and finds the filters too easily clogged for her liking. So she’s considering ditching it for either a Sebo X5 or a Cat & Dog.

While Sebo has received several recommendations from her fellow forum members, it’s the Cat & Dog which gains most of the plaudits. Mamarama in particular describes it thus: “I absolutely love my Miele Cat and Dog. It is just superb…It is very solidly built and I can see it lasting decades.” CarolineJ owns both a Sebo and Cat & Dog and although she says she’s broken the turbo head on the Miele she still uses it more than her Sebo.
