SEBO Airbelt D4: Quick Verdict
The Bottom Line: RTINGS' top canister: excellent on bare floors and pet hair, very well built, with a 40 ft cord and big bags. Its carpet pickup is merely acceptable and it is heavy and expensive, so it suits large, mostly hard-floor homes with pets.

In-Depth Notes & Analysis
What RTINGS found
RTINGS names the SEBO Airbelt D4 its Best Canister Vacuum and Best Bagged Vacuum (both pages updated 2026-09-11) and its Best Vacuum Cleaner With Good Suction (2026-07-17). It was RTINGS' overall top pick until 2026-08-07, when the Dyson V15 Detect replaced it and the D4 moved to Best Canister.
RTINGS scores it 9.0 for Pet Hair Pickup and 8.2 for Bare Floor Pickup, but only 6.3 for Carpet Pickup, noting the low powerhead struggles with medium and large debris on carpet.
Suction, airflow and the V15 comparison
On RTINGS' suction page the D4 posts a Suction score of 7.8 with 110.4 CFM maximum hose airflow. The Dyson V15 Detect scores 7.7 overall and records higher maximum head suction (6.9 vs 6.1 inH2O) and hose suction (118.9 vs 67.3 inH2O), so the D4's advantage is airflow rather than raw suction.
SEBO lists a 1250 W suction motor, a 175 W brush motor, a 1.5 gal bag, 63 dBA rated noise and S-class filtration with a sealed casing (SEBO lists "HEPA Filtration Available: No").
Size and availability
RTINGS says that at just under 22 lb its testers found it difficult to carry up and down stairs regularly and that the big canister is a poor fit for tight apartments. It is sold only through specialty vacuum dealers or SEBO directly.
