SEBO Wall Mount for the BALANCE A1

Keeping a BALANCE A1 on the wall puts it off the floor and next to the job it does. Part 8870AM is the mount SEBO supplies for that machine, drawn as position 18 in the BALANCE A1 parts diagram.

There are two reasons people order it. The first is a second mounting point — an upstairs landing, a utility room, a garage — so the vacuum does not have to be carried between floors every time something is spilled. The second is replacement, after a bracket has been damaged, painted over during decorating, or left screwed to a wall in a house that has since been moved out of. Being the factory item, it holds the A1 at the angle it was designed to sit at rather than hanging off an improvised hook, which is where scuffed casings and dropped machines come from.

Between the two storage options SEBO catalogues for this machine, the wall mount is the discreet one: a bracket on the wall and nothing standing on the floor beneath it. The alternative, part 8871AM, is the BALANCE A1 station, which gives the machine a parking place of its own. Quoting the diagram position is the quickest way to be sure of ordering the right one — position 18 is the mount, position 19 the station.

Storage decides how often a vacuum actually gets used. A machine buried behind coats in a hall cupboard comes out once a week; one hanging on the wall of the room it is needed in comes out for two minutes and goes back. That is the argument for a SEBO BALANCE A1 wall mount over a shelf, and it is the same argument for fitting a second one rather than carrying the machine up and down stairs.
