“Top quality, superb. Best upright vacuum cleaner on Earth!”
Fantastic machine. I've got three of them. 1 for work, used every week day on several houses/flats. 1 for home and 1 spare. Who else gives you a 5 year guarantee as standard? Tip - Don't touch Dyson with a barge pole. Dyson is Utter Utter Utter Utter Utter Rubbish!!!!!!!...

“Superb cleaner”
Had one of these over 20 years ago. Since had a Dyson and a horrible Morphy Richards cleaner which I could stand no longer. The Sebo is superb in comparison. It is so easy to use, not heavy, it glides along the floor & automatically adjusts to different floors. It also has a wand which you just pull out to go into the corners or suck up cobwebs. It is excellent at cleaning edges. I am now able to vacuum my stairs again (my husband had to do them with the old cleaner). Although expensive its worth...

“Dire what it's supposed to do... And well!!”
We have owned the Sebo X4 extra for about 10 years. It's bullet proof. We went thought the usual fusion phase but due to them being very big, heavy and tiny dust storage we decided to upgrade. Mum had an older model and swore by it. We feel this vacuum cleaner is the same quality as all our Miele appliances. Well built an very durable. Parts are cheap enough and we never loose suction even when the bag is rammed full. It can fall over but you can easily get round this by positioning the cleaner...

“Save your money!”
This vac has caused more damage to my house than the kids did when they were young. Not too bad when pushed, but try the extension hose and it's a nightmare. Don't try to use the hose more than about 2 feet away from the vac or the vac falls over, usually hitting the coffee table, wall, or your foot!!! Some people say hold the vac whilst using the hose. WHAT! I think that's defeating the object a bit. The accessories are cheap for a vac of this price too. I am a Design Engineer, and if I turned...

It seems unlikely anyone would employ you as a design engineer if you cannot grasp that pulling on a hose coming from the top of an upright will make it tip over. Having done it once you failed to learn anything and from your description continued to crash around your house.An easily attached extension hose is available for a small charge if you feel the need to use the hose and tools. It hardly seems reasonable to blame this excellent cleaner for your own lack of ability.

totally agree with the above. It is really frustrating trying to use the hose with one foot on the vacuum to keep it upright, also the hose is very not as flexible as previous vacuum's that I have owned such as miele and dyson so not very \"giving\" when using it. Wanted another Miele but they did not make uprights when I bought this 3 years ago but brought one out shortly after - wish I had waited !!!!

With respect it seem's a little more care is needed when it's used, plus a helping of common sense.
Mine has been fine & used correctly, these are of good quality & will last for years, If not miss-used!

“had one 7yrs, and still as good as new”
We have holiday cottages and the cleanliness of them is very important,we allow dogs but also cater for families with small children,so have to remove all traces of hair, which the Sebo does with ease. The hose is great for getting right into awkward edges but the vac does a good job of this anyway, and it doesnt take two seconds to fit back into the body of the machine. The vacuum is so slim it is easy to clean under the beds,it isnt bagless but the bags last for quite a while and are easy to replace....

“Sebo X4 Auto”
Bought this hoover after it was recommended to me by a salesperson in John Lewis, and reading customer reviews. It is absolutely rubbish on hard floors and I am very disappointed with it. I cannot think of anything positive to say about it at all. Waste of money in my opinion and have resorted to asking for my mum's second hand cylinder hoover, rather than battle on with this machine....

This is a very expensive vacuum cleaner which you would expect to have great suction and ease of use, especially after watching their videos. They are a heavy machine without great suction. The hose can pinch the skin with use and cleaner needs to be held when using the hose otherwise it will fall over. My machine does not even pick up my daughter's long hair! Sebo service have been very pleasant but tell me that I must not be using the cleaner correctly! Save your money and buy a cheaper and far...

The only thing I would say against my sebo is that if you use the hose leading away from the back it can fall over if you over stretch it, that said, if you use if fro the front it will just roll towards you (surface permitting). Other than that I have absolutely nothing to say against these machines. Our first one lasted over 10 years before it died, we could have had it repaired but they (Sebo) had an ex-display machine that they offered at a reduced price (but with the same full warranty) and...

I asked for this for Xmas and have never before had an upper quality vacum so I am just blown away. The suction power! The sleekness! Light, low and thin. Compressed vacum dirt? With the Hoover, that bagless container would have had to been washed 2 or 3 times already. Long nice cord. The hose is fast to access. Easy to push, no cloud of dust ever, lots of cleaning. Yes!

We rate it as 5.0 out of 5.0.

Really reliable and easy to use. I have the extending hose which means I can clean the stairs without the likelihood of the machine falling over.

Don't touch SEBO! They are very poorly constructed; mine has only lasted 2 years (and after light use). My Dyson lasted 10 years and my very cheap Hoover made vacuum cleaner is still going strong after 7 years. SEBO are making a cheap product and charging far too much for it (well over £100 for their starter models). Their site is awash with expensive replacement spare parts (not surprising considering how poorly made the components are on these vacuum cleaners)....

This review is very fair. Although providing good suction, the tools are poor.(I've modified mine so that it will take my old electrolux tools).

The Sebo X4 Automatic is a very capable cleaner. It looks a little old fashioned but does its job very well indeed. The carpets look good when they are finished and when we look after our daughters two German Shepards it deals with the hair and rubbish very easily. The cleaner works well on all types of surface, we have carpets, tiles and wood and have found no problems. At first it seems a little on the clumsy side and may be a bit heavy for some to carry upstairs. I manage OK and I am 70 next...

Sebo X4 excellent. After 2 Dysons, we had to change. We spent a couple of years in Germany and SEBO is very popular there. It has mostly commercial use in the UK in the past, and therefore should be solid and reliable. We were impressed with the Sebo X4 when it arrived. Now a year later, we are still impressed.

Fantastic vacuum cleaner which I can't recommend highly enough. The suction is very powerful, and it picks up all pet hairs on first pass. I considered the new Miele upright ( a Which Best Buy) prior to buying this, and went to the Miele dealers to try it. It weighed a ton, and just pushing it about was exhausting so I went for the Sebo instead. I am so glad I did! It is very light, but the build quality is excellent and I like the minimalist design.

Miele once said that they couldnt make an upright any better than Sebo's X range. Your review is slighty biased because you compare an upright with a cylinder - so in this respect its unhelpful. Also, the Sebo motor is rated at 65dbl which is much lower than Dyson and practically anything else. Infact I think youll find that Miele and Sebo have similar specs when it comes to motor noise. I own a Miele, An X upright and my parents have a K1 Sebo cylinder = so I know where I am experience wise.

Frankly, I am not sure where people are coming from.

You hold the Sebo with one hand and use the "wand" with the other, whats difficult about that? Takes a little getting used to but so does anything when you are used to another product. It is also important you pick the right machine for your needs, if you have fiddly areas and need to zip round furniture and the edges you should buy the Sebo Felix, the X4 is for more for large open areas!
Albro's response to albro's Review
Written on: 04/04/2007
What is wrong with your suggestion is that the machine is often not close enough when the tools are being used. And besides why should I need to - it's just poor design. As for choosing the right machine, you got it 100% - I wouldn't choose this one.
Dr X's response to albro's Review
Written on: 23/04/2007
Disco is correct, the Felix is more what you were after. Depending on where you bought this from, if you had advice from a salesperson then it was poor. The X4s are great for large areas of carpet, and ridiculously reliable to boot, but if the majority of cleaning is in the fiddly areas then its not the right machine for your needs. Slagging a product off because you got bad advice or made a poor choice isn't the machines fault. Theres a lot to be said about the age-old saying "a bad workman (or work person in these politically correct times) blames their tools".

I disagree with this review because...(a) so-called edge to edge cleaning isn't that effective anyway, and (b) I can't understand the comments about it falling over all the time - mine doesn't. I also have no problem cleaning the stairs with it.
Ukconsumer75's response to albro's Review
Written on: 12/09/2007
Did it ever occur to you to whip out the wand and clean up edges? The Sebo X does have edge cleaning on one side of the floor head and the front head also manages to suck up dirt thanks to its special metal strip. Youve mentioned nothing about the fact that it has an internal lifetime drive belt fitted, or the fact that the brush can be taken out by simply pressing a button. The X is a fantastic machine, we've had our old X1 for 11 years and still goes strong. Unlike the Felix it also fits flat under low furniture.

Reading the comments one thing becomes clear to me. If you really believe in something you'll overlook and explain away its faults and hype up its good points. Equally if you dislike something you'll do the opposite. We are all different - just as well or they'd be only one model of car, one model of vacuum cleaner, etc. (Maybe on second thoughts that would be much easier!!)
<br/>
<br/>Some months have elapsed since I posted my first review and during that time I've used the Sebo several times - probably once a week. I've no doubt that it is robust or that it has great suction power but my view is unchanged. It may be great at cleaning large areas of carpet but most of us live in homes with nooks and crannies and many of us have stairs. Even where there are large areas of carpet, there is usually furniture to navigate, not all of which is either easily moved or which one wants to move for every vacuum.
<br/>
<br/>I can make it work but frankly I could make my 14 year old hoover work too. If we hadn't spent so much on this machine, I'd buy something else and I certainly will not recommend it to anyone else.
<br/>
<br/>For those of you must - keep trying to tell other readers it's great. But if you are one of those readers my advice is be absolutely sure you are going to be happy with this before forking out for it...or you could be as disappointed as I am.

Or you could just go along to John Lewis to TEST one FIRST before buying. In fact they'll let you test any vacuum cleaner let alone Sebo who John Lewis sell.

The 'toppling over of upright vacuum cleaners' is one of the things that annoyed Mr Dyson, so all his uprights have the hose entering the cleaner low down.
<br/>
<br/>Other manufacturers have toyed with placing the hose connection low down, but on their following range they seem to have forgotten what they previously learned, and the hose is connected near the top of the machine again.
<br/>
<br/>I quite agree, the lack of a suction control is annoying. An upright requires a lower suction power when cleaning delicate curtains (Hoover has uprights with motor powers of up to 2000Watts, and no variable power, or suction vent. How are you supposed to clean soft fabrics successfully???)

“Top cleaner, exactly what I needed with a large dog...”
Top cleaner, exactly what I needed with a large dog and children, 1 bag lasts a couple of months and cost only 70p - much, much less mess than my previous bagless machines. S-line filters really helped with my asthma too! Basically the Audi of the vacuum cleaner world, not that cheap but hard wearing and does the job well with no fuss......
