A household model. I did some research and found it was trying to insert Windsor into the residential market before Sebo or the other brands that licensed Sebo's designs. |

I would be very excited as well. I will review the material you posted and come back with more info. |

It seems to be from the 199x years, according to the manual. It will clean well, but the airflow number seems low. |

This could well be the equivalent to the Sebo X1 Automatic white model, the first to come out from Sebo in the UK that had the 850 watt motor because according to the user manual it has around 89 CFM. The grey and light grey sebo X1 Automatic (one that I have) model has a 1000 watt motor, thus better suction power around 103cfm.
The machines are well known because of their design, not just the auto sensor head - the whole design of the front metal plate for example pulls dirt in - better seen when you try and clean hard floors with the machine.
In the U.S the motor was raised to 1200 watts and has 105CFM for both the Windsor S12, SR12, XP12 and XP15.
In terms of motors, it was usually Lamb Ametek that were used, but also Sebo used Domel.
The video link from You Tube showing off the clear body Sebo X4 is a U.S made product - Sebo in Germany don't make a clear model as the plastic construction is thinner than their machines. |

Well, the Essential-G is pretty much a tarted up version of what Sebo have sold before, and very much the blue print for Hoover's copied Insight. I wish Sebo UK still sold them - the Dart is in no way a good replacement IMHO.
However, bear in mind that obviously with the bigger floor head of the Versamatic and the Essential G, the motor may be different. You should check out the specs and/or spare parts list on Sebo.de (remember to click English though!) and see if the motors are the same for the X4. CLICK HERE TO GO TO sebo_fan's LINK |

Glad I could help.
There is a red X1.1 in the UK (and a white one, also) that has an 1150 watt motor.
Then there's the usual X4's which have the 1300 watt motor.
Having had both, I'd say there's very little difference in the power. I've said this before in other posts though - and I suspect if your Sensation is a relatively old model, or based on the X1 Automatic, it will stop the suction completely if you use a mini turbo brush on the end of the hose. The more modern Sebo vacuums have a stepped motor to compensate for the additional turbo brush attachment and won't stop the suction from flowing if the brush is used. I only use the turbo brush on my Felix or K, or D canisters anyway as I use my X1 for carpet cleaning only and suction only through the hose and tools on board. |
