Just wanted to express my admiration for these machines. We were given a Sebo Automatic X1 as a hand-me-down over 5 years ago. The previous owner had managed to crack the bag housing (no idea how as it's very tough). I was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to replace the parts, the cleaner effectively being comprised of three parts, the power head, bag housing and handle. I obtained a second hand bag housing from Ebay and never looked back.
Recently the motor stopped working. Again, this was easy to fix, a simple matter of replacing the carbon brushes. There is a video guide on espares.co.uk on how to do this. Now we're back going strong again! These machines are very easy to service, so should go on and on.
So... here's to the next 5 years!
