Miele SEB 236 vs SEB 228 which one is better to buy?

3 Replies

These are Miele Direct Connect powerbrushes.
They have some similar features.
Both of them are driven by a small independent motor that can be turned on/off seperately.
They feature 5 level height adjustment via foot control, can be used to clean low to high carpets as well as hard floors.
And they have the swivel neck for maximum maneuverability.

However, there are also differences between SEB 228 and SEB 236, here are some major ones.

1, Motor
The SEB 228 is driven by a 1.4 amp motor whereas the SEB 236 uses a 1.3 amp motor.

2, Wheel
The wheels on the SEB 228 is larger than the ones on the SEB 236.

3, Headlight
The SEB 236 features LED headlights that help you clean low light spots and let you see what you missed whereas the SEB 228 has no head lamps.

4, Size
The SEB 228 is a bit bulkier, higher, has wider cleaning path which is 14 inch versus 13-5/8 inch on the SEB 236.

5, Lock Release for Intake Socket
The lock release pedal on the SEB 236 features On/Off switch function.
If you step on the lock release pedal and release the intake socket, the powerbrush is turned on.
If you return the intake socket back to the vertical start position while vacuuming, the powerbrush will be shut off.
The SEB 228 does not have this feature, you have to use the switch on the handle to turn on/off the powerbrush.

6, Multifunction Indicator
The SEB 236 has a multifunction indicator on top to tell you if the roller brush is working or being blocked and needs to be reset.
Whereas the SEB 228 does not have this indicator light.

Some users said that the SEB 228 works better than the SEB 236 while others prefer the SEB 236.
However, considering the price difference, the SEB 236 is about $50 more expensive than the SEB 228, the SEB 228 might be a better try while deciding between these 2 Miele motorized head.
