Well our first glimpses of the European sebo X7 are coming in. As we all know that European Union has imposed strict motor regulations. Very interested to see what the US version looks like.

In truth i have not spent much time with the X4 but I did own a Windsor Sensor S12, which was basically a G1 more or less a manual adjustment X4 and that machine, while it had some nice features, was rather dissapointing in terms of performance. The shop i work at is a former sebo dealer, we have a few left over X4s and i've tried them and i'm not impressed, the Miele uprights clean circles around them. I've considered purchasing one but i just can't justify the cost when i feel it's carpet cleaning performance is so meh.
I do currently have an ice blue Felix 1 and an Onyx D4 both of those are much better performers |

The real question, to me, is will they be offering this machine in clear plastic.

The new SEBO X7 is a complete new design to give their Upright a fresh updated look with echos of the E series for example the crease down the bag door like on top of the E series. The base/ chassis of the new X7 is a complete new redesign. It’s been redesigned to fit the new motor (890 watts) and sound proofing not to mention new electrical components and a new post motor filter to meet the new EU regulations. The post motor filter is a smaller version l8ke the E series. There are a few things that the X7 share with the X4 which are:
1. Uses the same bags 2. Uses the same pre motor filter 3. Uses the same brush roll 4. Uses the same hose and wand 5. Uses th3 same tools....crevice, upholstery tool 5. Uses the same handle Some of the models will have an LED head liight and Pet version the boost button. There are other updates to the foot release petal, the metal fron5 soleplate runs the full width of the head like the ET heads do. I believe the X7 will replace the X4 completely not just in the EU! Not sure if the Felix will get an update or the ET Powerheads! At present the Felix meets the new EU regulations.

Why do Sebo not listen to it's customers? I just cannot understand why they haven't fitted a brushroll on/off button so it can be used on hardfloors. Ok it looks a bit more stylish than the X4 series but it's basically the same machine.
Very disappointing. If they had added a brushroll on/off button I would have purchased one. |

I sold the Sebo X4 when they had the clear models available. Was never impressed with their cleaning ability, and I cursed their short hose. They do hold up in the hands of cleaning ladies, but they leave the carpet kind of like an old Bissell bagless leaves the carpet. Tidy, but ultimately not all that clean.

@Sebo4me that's the place of the Felix and the 370 which they're trying to push as their top end cleaner now. The purpose of the X models only have one control and that is to turn the machine on and off and the rest of it run automatically. But I would love to see an automatic brush roller on and off similar to what Hoover has started doing on some models but of course higher-quality.

It would of been nice to see a brush roll on/off button but as mentioned the automatic X is a switch on and go vacuum making it simple for the user/owner to use! By adding this it would in SEBO eyes complicate the machine setup! You never know future versions of the X may feature that function but SEBO like to keep things less complex where they can!
You have to remember SEBO are still a small family owned and run vacuum manufacturer compared to other larger floorcare companies! There main market area is commercial too although the domestic side is becoming more popular, in the UK for sure! SEBO are not ones for making radical and regular changes to their machines. Their usual evolutionary changes/iterations of the previous model like you see in the new X7 compared to the X4. The X machine is SEBO longest and most successful domestic upright model so major changes wouldn’t have been on the agenda I wouldn’t of thought! Although it may look to many the same machine as it does share some of the same parts to the X4 as I mentioned above it’s actually a complete new machine under the hood. The chassis is completely new to house the new motor, sound proofing and new post motor filter and all new electrical components from what I have been told. |

Small company-that's whats is good here-they don't make major changes unless they have to or if it really improves the vacuums.Otherwise they stick with what WORKS!Will ask the Sebo dealer here when the X7 will be available. |

I have a x4 and again like many have said I have never been very impressed with its cleaning ability, Now the G1 with its manual height adjustment does a much better job, The problem is that the electronic height adjustment is constantly fiddling and never gets close enough to properly clean,
I dont like the short hose but do love the wand. Again as said above Short of a Royal not much will last as long in cleaning ladys hands. I co own a cleaning company and we have a few G1's and some x4's. I always disconnect the auto height on the x4's and set the height myself and leave it their. I love their ease of maintenance, brushes change in a instant and so does the cord handle assy , I keep some spare and fix the cord on the broken ones but when we get the call a machines cord is broken its so simple to fix, less down time. I will say that the thing I like the most about them is the lack of complaints from customers, These are very quiet vacuums. If it were us up to me all the staff would be using Royals, I love them their power their durability and how purposeful they look on sight but that said I have head helicopters that are quieter. In the cleaning business with offices your biggest complaint is noisy vacuums The sebo never gets complaints, To give you an idea of the quality I have two sebo 360's They are 30 years old now and still runn every day, One just got a new motor , Its first new motor and that was because the Com on the armiture had worn away from all the use, I always just changed the carbon brushes but finally 30 years on a new motor was needed . |

Not sure what SEBO reasoning for removing the handle lock, they must have their reasons for doing so I’m sure! It might just be because they put the new handle release pedal on which doesn’t or can’t accommodate that feature!? The new handle release pedal is the same as the Evoloution in that if the user forces the handle/body down without using the foot pedal the handle will release without causing any damage to the machine/main body! SEBO may have seem issues with users doing this on the X4 model hence the foot pedal change!?
Not sure why the carpet performance is different between the X1.1 and X7 but SEBO would be using the standard EU tests they have to carry out and the rating came out as D. One thing SEBO don’t tend to do is manufacture/design a machine to suit the EU tests the manufacturers have to carry out for the energy labelling from what I’m told/heard. |

Lots of differing views here I see. We sell Sebo as some will know (Olga in the first video is my wife and that video is in our shop).
What I can tell you is that people are starting to buy the X7, and we have had no complaints. If any of the UK folks here want one, I'll do you a keen price. We have also sent our first one to the US, Dupage Vacuums in Illinois has one from us.

Wondering where Olga is from, couldn't place the accent. Is the machine that was sent to the United States a 120 volt machine? I'm assuming they have to use completely different motors for the United States market, I wish we used 240 volts here, it's actually more efficient than 120. Mike |

There are power inverters installed in vehicles that turn a 12 volt dc current to 120 volt ac current. I have seen them on pickup trucks designed with the contractor in mind. |
