Sebo Automatic X4 Upright Vacuum Cleaner

Rally long cord - check! Powerful suction - check! Great (German) build quality - check! Easy to disassemble and clean out and/or replace parts with no tools needed - check! Better filtration than most vacuums - check! Automatic adjustments of the roller head for different surfaces - check! Warns you when something is stuck and shuts the motor off so it isn’t damaged - check! Only downside is that you have to replace bags which cost money and two types of filters need replacing eventually. The vacuum will tell you when with a red light. You can find comparable filters and bags for a reasonable price on Amazon. I think it’s worth it vs a bagless vacuum. This vacuum makes sure no dust gets back into the rooms with a filter before the stuff goes into the bag and an exhaust filter for the air leaving the vacuum and going back into the room. Bagless vacuums get dust back into the room when you empty them or you have to go outside to empty them. But this sebo vacuum checks all the boxes off! Plus I bought it used in good condition for a great deal and everything works great - the auto adjustment, the warning lights, the suction is super strong! Everything works like new! Read more

I have owned one of these for many years, and later bought one for each of my kids. Expensive but excellent quality and durability. A lifetime purchase. The beater bar is easy to remove from the machine so you can get the hair off. My wife has long hair, so this was a big selling point. Read more

After giving the Sebo a thorough workout for a few months in our spacious, very dusty and cat-haired home (Maui—windows always open, very windy and drought-stricken), I am soooo impressed! Does a spectacular job on the bare tile (!) in upright mode (have a great parquet floor tool, but donʻt need it.) Tools are well-designed and very well-placed on the machine for extra-quick corners, baseboards, lampshades, etc. But the really great part is the job on the 15 yr. old Berber wall-wall carpet—when I clean the carpet there is NO sand or pet hair in/on the carpet cleaner! Also, the filtration is truly amazing—NO dust inside the bag compartment! Wow. Wow! Read more

This vacuum works wonderful on my hardwood floor yet when I attempt to vacuum my shag carpet the vacuum gets stuck. I don’t mind paying decent money for a good product but this particular vacuum does not work for me. I will request a return and keep searching for a vacuum that will function with my shag carpet.

This vacuum is awesome. I bought this to replace an X4 I bought about 17 years ago. My wife damaged the old one. The X4 is quiet, has a really long cord which is great, and very good suction power. I really like how easy it is to detach the roller brush to clean it. I have three long-haired women in the house so easy access to the brush is paramount. Also very easy to replace the bags. Overall, a well-engineered vacuum, which is why I bought it in the first place. It's quiet too. Read more

Love this vacuum. I've had the vacuum since 2022 and have had absolutely no problems with it. My house is a mixture of carpet/tile/hardwood and there has been no problems with effectiveness on any surface. I've had Dysons before with dogs and cats in the house along with regular day to day dirt the carpet never truly felt clean. With the Sebo I've never had that feeling. There's visibly less dirt and hair now. The fact it is also a bag vacuum and not open canaster was also a hug selling point. I've only have to replace the bag twice since I bought it. Also with the Dyson, using the hand held extension was always so finicky as it would not always register that the tube was pulled out. I've never experienced that same issue with the Sebo. The vacuum also comes with a limited warranty. Seven year motor and 5 years parts and labor. Read more

This vacuum clearly functions at a superior level and operates better than all other vacuums that I have had in many years. It was easy to assemble in 45 minutes. My first use was simply awesome to clean my carpeting and hard floors. Yes it is expensive ,but in my view it is cheaper than the iPhone 15 Pro that will last only 3 years whereas the X4 is likely to be in service for 12 to 15 years! (I think it is important to keep my purchase decisions in perspective.) I have read many recent and helpful reviews (as of March 2024) and thanks to those folks who were positive influencers, I decided to "pull the trigger" and buy the X4 Boost Automatic model.

I have owned many vacuums over the years (I’m pretty old), including 2 Mieles that cost over $1,000 each but couldn’t handle plush carpets or cat hair. They were also extremely expensive to repair. I’ve had this Sebo for just a couple of months, and am already very impressed by its ability to clean rugs and carpets, regardless of level of plushness. Pet hair is no problem. My rugs, floors, and carpets have never been as clean, and the Sebo adjusts automatically to rug or carpet height and handles bare floors with ease. It was very easy to assemble, too. I rarely write product recommendations, but felt this Sebo warranted my message. Read more
