Sauber Intelligence SI-200

Purchased 7 years ago, works ok on all floors.

Reported an issue when vacuum was 6months old and under warranty, and again at my first service, Informed that vacuum was fine and no faults, now vacuum is out of warranty (vacuum has 5yr warranty 10yr free service) my original reported fault is recognised but is to be repaired at my cost!! And we understand you reported it sir when under warranty but bad luck it will cost you $$

If you try to contact the seller or manufacturer they are owned by the same and your completely out of luck!! then th...Read more

I bought my Sauber in 2013 from a Godfrey's store and initially was super impressed. It had and still has great suction, however it is now all held together by electrical tape and a grunt strap to keep the filter door closed as the machine has literally fallen apart. The suction hose handle with the control switches fell apart also... More tape. Again though I would have to give the suction a top rating, although it does turn itself off quite regularly in use. As for the intelligence..... Hmmm.... I didn't really observe how it got to wear this...Read more

I wish I had read these reviews before spending $1,500 on a vacuum cleaner that will not last a life time as the Godfreys salesman suggested.
We bought the Vacuum Cleaner in January 2015 from Godfreys with a big sales pitch. We have a carpeted house and two small dogs and wanted a vacuum that would suck up dog hair well. The beating head does a fantastic job at getting all the dog hair off the carpet and furniture. However, the beating head only lasted 2 years before it broke and the replacement we had to pay for has only lasted 2 years to...Read more

My Mum and I each bought this vacuum from the local Godfery's store with what sounds like the same old sales pitch "this is the best vacuum you ever buy and will last you a lifetime, it's just like the old hoover". I'm not sure what they call a lifetime, but I certainly don't call 5-6 years a lifetime. My Mum has always struggled to pull the vacuum around with her arthritis and has hardly used her machine because of this. She now uses a Dyson stick vac and wasted her money buying the Sauber. Mum's Sauber has a broken swivel wheel. There ar...Read more

Like everyone else, I was in LOVE with the suction power when I first brought my sauber home. The suction was SO impressive, that I was able to excuse how “awkward” the machine was to physically maneuver, and the strong ‘musty’ smell it created. Unit itself is very heavy and swivel wheel broke off after only 3 weeks. Took back to Godfreys, they happily replaced it, no questions asked. This scenario repeated 4 times. It was almost a “joke” with the staff and I. About 2years after purchasing, we bought a house that was completely tiled, so the go...Read more

The Sauber Intelligence Vacuum cleaner is a well engineered powerful cleaner unit. Perfect for an open plan office or business premises. But for use in the average home it becomes heavy and difficult to control around furniture and moving from room to room. The connecting hose tends to disengage unless extreme care is taken to ensure connectivity before using. The showroom demonstration was very thorough but conducted on a flat open carpeted floor with no obstacles which was very misleading. Again, no fault of or with the cleaner, it just did n...Read more

Do not purchase. Bought my Sauber in 2012, absolutely loved it, the suction is second to none. Then it started literally falling apart. The cord wouldn't pull out, the housing started falling off, wheels not turning, then.finally wouldn't even turn on! Took it back, basically told I'm to rough lol,( I'm not at all) bit more demanding, and got a replacement.
Happy days. Not. Go to use it recently and the vacume cleaner head falls apart. Brittle as anything. The wheels don't turn, that I could put up with as it still sucked fine. But I sort of ...Read more
