Sauber Pro Pets SF-100

Shocking…..i am constantly emptying and now it is getting clogged in the head and won’t go into the barrel. It was ok for about for six months and that’s it. I had to purchase on behalf of an elderly client so have to put up with it as he certainly can’t afford a new one. Used on carpet. Show details

Not as good as it claims – The cleaner worked well to begin with. The only good thing was the power head. However after having it for 6 months it heats up and turns off straight away. Brought from Godfrey’s closing down sale. Rang the customer service number and it’s disconnected. Show details

So poor – Terrible machine. Blocks constantly with pet hair. Terrible on hard floors. Badly designed. Shameful.

It’s so good, I bought two!!! – While I was tempted to buy a $1000+ machine, I found that this vacuum exceeded my expectations for way less! The thing that sold me was the “power head” that has a motorized brush and a vibrating function that rattles the carpet to pick up the super fine dust particles. Yes I was immediately convinced after seeing the live demonstration in store,… Read more ·  1

and trying it at home it didn’t disappoint. I was amazed at how I kept filling up my machine over and over again after vaccuuming the whole apartment in one day. Even a small 2x2m floor area was pulling clouds of dust no matter how many times I vacuumed it.. I’m literally obsessed. I bought my parents the same machine in the same week, and it’s successfully pulled out buckets of dust from shag pile and a neglected spare bedroom. Other things I like about this machine: - it’s light, and especially when you need to get higher, lifting it with one hand while vaccuuming was easy. - clearing the machine is easy. Compared to past machines I’ve had, there’s no compartment in the main container for dusk to get stuck, it’s all easy to disassemble. - yes while I had bulky items stuck in the handle, it’s nothing too complex than any other machine. Just pull most of it out with a pen, loosen the dust around a bit, then turn the machine back on. It should suck it right back into the machine. - I like that the filters are easy to replace. You can buy spares at Godfrey’s and that’ll make your machine last longer. - comes with a mini brush power head too, doesn’t have the vibrate function, but still agitates the dust enough to get a decent amount out. Perfect for car carpets I found.

Anyway, genuinely an amazing machine for a mid range price point.

Repeated blockages make this unsuitable – We purchased this for a carpeted house with hard floors in kitchen & bathrooms. The hose has 2 rigid angles at either end. The vacuum has blocked many times when only a small object was accidentally sucked in. It’s difficult to unblock because of the angles. Although under warranty the shop said they’d need to send it away & it would take 6 weeks… Read more

for a repair so we have persisted with wriggling wire and garden hose through the vacuum hose as well as dropping a coin through the hose in order to unblock it. A vacuum job can result in 2-3 hrs of attempts to unblock. No other vacuum we’ve ever owned has had a problem like this. Also the power cord is quite short so an extension cord is needed. Most disappointing purchase we’ve made.

What were they thinking – What were Sauber thinking with the power cord? It's too short to reach most reasonable hallways let alone living areas. How disappointing. Show details
