Sorry, Senso but given that the X1 and Stealth use both the auto sensor head, it's clearly the brush roll at fault and not the sensor. Sometimes the side bits visible silver rings need screwing in. If you follow what it says on the arrows of each side of the brush head, it should work. If it still refuses to go deeper, check that the new brush roll isn't bent or out of alignment. |

Yes Jake, you're absolutely right - the Sebo system does adjust to compensate for brush wear - so that carpets don't get damaged and that the motor belt doesn't over stretch trying to compensate as the brush roll receives resistance from the carpet tread. However it doesn't automatically mean that the sensor adjusts completely to allow the brush roll to get the carpet right since there are so many different types of carpet, different textures, different heights and then also the concern of if the carpet fitted is actually level.
I am however now, totally confused. Ryan - you say that the new brush roll isn't going as low as the old, but the old brush is indicating it needs to be changed on hard flooring confirmed by the Sebo panel? It is clearly two issues here if the old brush is also indicating it needs to be replaced if it is not working properly on hard floors due to the hard bristles now been worn down.
Sometimes a new brush roll just needs a run in time before it properly adjusts with the Sensor working.
As for the delicate soft brush roller - well I got one the year we had the dreaded wool carpets fitted. It was recommended at the time but to be honest I'm not a fan of it at all. The softer bristles do indeed go lower into the carpet but with that it also means the weight of the machine isn't as light to push when it automatically adjusts. It is good on hard floor though, naturally the softer bristles means dust gets picked up and no damage can be done - but on normal carpet, dust doesn't seem to be picked up in an instant compared to the standard blue bristle /factory fit white bristle brush rollers. |

well think i've cured my brushroll issues, both the brown X1 and Ensign 300 needed new sensors, they both work fine now. |
