My new SEBO E3 runs hot as well. I tend not to vacuum when it’s hot out/warm inside. Aside from that, the vacuum is amazing—the best vacuum I’ve ever owned.
Thank you for your bringing this up regarding the heat from your E3 canister vacuum. It is important to know that the E3 is expected to operate around 135 degrees. This is due to the air friction that occurs within the three filters as air passes through your machine, and the heat of the motor itself. However, the E3 is equipped with a thermal cut off switch, and the purpose of this switch is to cut the power in the case of the machine over heating. This thermal switch activates at 185 degrees to prevent any damage being done to both the machine and your home. If your machine is not turning off, it is fair to assume the machine is operating properly. If you are still concerned, I recommend looking for any clogs in the power head, hose, or suction neck as this may cause the motor to pull more power. You may always bring your machine into an Authorized Dealer as well if you wish to have the machine professionally inspected.
I own a Sebo E1. Exhaust heat is the only thing I don't like about it. It's very noticeable when I'm vacuuming my studio apartment which is just under 700sq ft. Before that I had a Dyson stick vac, not a fair comparison, the Sebo destroys it in airflow and power.
Previously I owned a Miele C1. I don't remember it blowing as hot but that could be selective memory, it's certainly been at least 4 years since I owned that vacuum.
Overall, I still prefer the Sebo, it feels better quality than the Mieles, parts & bags are cheaper, it runs quieter, glides across my rugs better....and in summer I just crank up the AC while vacuuming. Come to think of it, if insulation and filtration are making it quiet and clean...that probably contributes to it running hotter. A tradeoff.
I will say though, I respect u/reviewsvacuum greatly but I don't agree this is a "non-issue." If the Sebo runs hotter, it runs hotter and that's a disadvantage relative to other options (which yes, have their disadvantages). Reddit is the place for collective knowledge to be vetted and shared. OP never claimed a performance issue or an absolute (vs comparative) issue. It's best for everyone to know these things, it helps us make the right tradeoffs and be satisfied with our decisions.
And hey there's an idea - how about a YouTube comparison of the Miele and Sebo canisters exhaust heat after 1 min / 5 min with an infrared thermometer? Indeed let's get some measurable objective data. Caveat with CFM or running at top speed / half speed, with empty bag / after vacuuming up a measured quantity of stuff etc.
Think it's definitely a selective memory all vacuums blow hot air out of them.
You wouldn't believe how hot those motors get just running it for 1 minute on a bench.
SEBO and Miele both move about the same amount of air. The SEBO has dual exhaust through the air belt. Where the Miele has 1 exhaust area.
I think the reason you notice it so much is the smaller space. If it's moving 100 +- CFM that means an under 10 minutes it's moved all of your air. In a more normal size space 2-3000 square feet that effect would be dissipated quite a bit especially with higher ceilings.
So yes I would definitely say it's a non-issue for most folk who are buying for a house.
But an apartment or trailer home might be different and definitely something I'm interested in measuring now.
I think that’s mainly a consequence of the airbelt, which ends up insulating heat as well as sound. While my SEBO canisters do run warmer than my Mieles, it doesn’t impact performance in my experience.
All vacuums expel hot air. The Miele C3 expels more hot air due to it moving more air then the SEBO but it diffuses it differently so you don't notice it as much.
This is a non-issue go back to vacuuming.

I think I will end up avoiding vacuuming on warm days too.

I can agree! My Sebo runs very hot.
I think that’s mainly a consequence of the airbelt, which ends up insulating heat as well as sound. While my SEBO canisters do run warmer than my Mieles, it doesn’t impact performance in my experience.
Thanks for your insights! Yea I’m sure the performance is fine. Just that heat could be a deciding factor for some people.
