I find it extremely frustrating that Sebo won't sell the HEPA bags over here in the US. Although I can't say I have ever really seen a Sebo bag leak a significant amount of dust, even the regular brown paper bags in machines that are cared for properly never seem to have more than the tiniest among of dirt up around where the bag connects, and I haven't seen anything get past the Ultra-Bag and on to the HEPA filter that I have in my clear X4. Also, the Ultra-Bags for the uprights are only available in the HEPA service box here in the US.

Have to say the synthetic bags SEBO did for the Felix are very good prefer them over the paper ones.
I've noticed a small amount of fine dust collects around the inlet tube on my Felix as there is no rubber gasket. There is just a tight fit between inlet tube and bag collar opening. Surprised a rubber gasket is not fitted. |

I don't have any Sebos now so that would not be worthwhile. Before i sold them i was considering trying these bags made by crucial vacuum, they look pretty nice.

Are the bags in the US HEPA service box different to the European Ultra bags? |

The beauty of the Ultra bag is that you can actually use it again. Depends on what it has been filled with of course to begin with. The bag can be shaken out, turned inside out and either vacuumed with another vac to get rid of the clogged dust in the pores OR wash on a low temp in a washing machine. I tried it a couple of times and find that the bag, once shaken out can be used again before put into a washing machine. After the third use of being washed in a machine though, the bag starts to lose its strength. Then either allow to dry over a radiator for about a day, or tumble dry in a low temp program placed inside a tied pillow case.
In dire emergencies I would suggest that using the bag a second time should probably be enough before you buy more bags. |

The white paper HEPA bags were not available in the U.S only but also in Germany. I remember one came fitted to the X4 I bought. SEBO UK confirmed that they did not have the white bags for the X and had tested the white bag and found it offered very little difference to the brown bags.
There are actually TWO brown bags - original ones had smaller fitting details drawn on plus company address compared to the one shown in the first photo. The Ultra synthetic dust bag shown in the far right hand side was an experiemental Ultra bag that SEBO in Europe tested in 2011 and put out a few to dealers to test. Shortly afterwards, copy bags with the same design appeared, non-genuine with poorer plastic that could pull away from the dust channel. The Third Ultra bag with the light green writing is now available in the UK; they came out at the end of January 2014 to replace the experimental bags. (see thread www.vacuumland.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-...) I've also added a pic of the bag that SEBO sent me in early 2012 showing off the experimental bag - I sent one of these ultra bags to another member on here.

Nope, no dirtier filter here. But then I also clean the filter periodically. It can be brushed clean using the straight T upholstery brush. Others have untied them and washed them, using fresh computer ties on the sock after it has dried out.
The SEBO X was after all, designed to be user maintenance friendly, but a lot of the parts are also reuseable and economical : ) I forgot to mention that SEBO also had a problem with the Ultra white paper bags inclined to pull away from the cartridge holders. They also had that problem with the K series bags which is one of the reasons to why they changed the K series bags first of all to the synthetic types. The X series was one of the last models in SEBO's range to get the Ultra bags; none of the commercial uprights have yet had synthetic dust bags made with the Genuine name, though copy bags are available. |
