Purchase Advice (Non-U.S.) Sebo E2 vs E3 for mostly hard floors + dog hair? (Europe)
Hi! I'm looking for a new vacuum and I'm wondering if there are any advantages of the E3 over the E2 when one has mostly hardwood floors (plus a medium sized area rug), but also a dog dumping hair everywhere.
There's already lots of threads online that I read about the E2 vs E3 and I was doubting whether yet another post would make a difference, but I'm wondering about one particular thing: oftentimes it's advised to get the E2 when you have mostly hardwood floors and the E3 when you have mostly carpet floors.
However, how does that advice hold up when lots of (longer) hair comes into the mix? Because I read in various places that the turbo head that comes with the E2 gets tangled easily in hair and is by far not as easily cleanable as the powered roller head from the E3. In that sense the E3 sounds like the better choice, but I'm not sure if that powered head is really intended to work (well) on hardwood floors at all?
Plus I read a lot of people that they'd recommend to future proof by getting an E3 (because of the powered hose) which sounds like good advice, but if that powered hose is only ever useful on carpets (and not dog hair on hardwood floors)... Combined with the fact that I read complaints here and there that the powered hose is relatively heavy and less flexible and I'm in an apartment and not a huge house...
Anyway, long story short, just curious what the advice is between the E2 and E3 on hardwood floors but with lots of hair.
