The Sebo Automatic X5 vacuum cleaner has been a favorite of ours and our customers for many years. These upright vacuums pack superior suction, excellent for pet hair removal, and feature Hospital-grade Filtration for allergy and asthma relief. User friendly features including auto shut off and indicator lights. Sebo also offers a wonderful variety of optional tools including an ultimate pet package that can be purchased separately to handle any cleaning task. We have yet to be disappointed by a Sebo vacuum cleaner.
Pluses:
- Seamless transitions from high pile carpets to low pile rugs to bare floors thanks to the powerhead's automatic height adjustment
- The X series vacuums excellent suction power surprised and amazed our testers as they reported that you never have to go over an area twice!
- Despite the very powerful motor, the noise level is low
- Sebo upright vacuum cleaners move effortlessly thanks to their lightweight design, comfortable operating handle, easy glide wheels and self propelled powerhead
- The automatically shut off if the brush roll is jammed is not only a safety feature but eliminates the potential of destroying the belt or motor
- Sebo has designed all of their vacuums to be easy to maintain - filters, bags and even the brush roll are easily accessible and can be changed in less than a minute
- Low 5.5" profile and ability to lay the vacuum flat on the floor allows for easy cleaning under beds, dressers, couches, etc.
- Easy-to-use onboard stretch hose and wand make it easy reach into deep crevices, clean stairs and dust ceiling corners
- For an upright vacuum cleaner, we found the Sebo X5 cleans bare floors very effectively, which is one of the biggest criticisms of upright vacuums
- Automatic height adjustment on the power head makes sure it is the proper height for optimal suction and the seal strip behind the brush roll improves hard floor cleaning by channeling the airflow and preventing debris kickback
- The large 1.4 gallon vacuum cleaner bags hold a lot and makes for easy maintenance
- Sebo's S-class filtration and sealed design keeps dust and dirt particles inside the vacuum, maintaining clean and fresh indoor air
- Reduced operating costs - enjoy efficient S-Class filtration without the need to replace costly HEPA filters every 6-12 months. Sebo recommends replacing tubular Microfilter and fine foam exhaust filter after using 10 - 20 vacuum bags. All can be purchased in one Sebo Service Box (sold below) that includes both filters and bags sold below.
- Excellent 7 year warranty on motor, 5 year warranty on parts and labor, Lifetime warranty on belt protects your investment
Summary:
The SEBO name is viewed as the best manufacturer of upright vacuum cleaners in Europe, and are legendary for their durability! The Sebo Automatic X5 vacuum works phenomenally with strong suction power that picks up embedded dirt and lifts carpet pile on the first pass. It also has a top rated filtration system that does not exhaust dust back into the room and filters out 99.97% of pollens, household dust, dust mites and other allergens as small as 0.3 micrometers in size. Sebos lightweight design features the ability to lay flat on the floor to easily get under furniture. They have an integrated wand, hose and 3 full size accessory tools that offer an outstanding eight foot reach for above floor cleaning. And as if that is not enough, the Sebo X5 upright vacuum provides seamless transitions from carpet, to bare floors, to area rugs with no need for manual adjustment. The X series uses electronic sensors which automatically adjust the height of the power head as needed for optimal suction on any floor surface. However, though this vacuum is safe and effective for use on bare flooring, we recommend using a parquet floor brush with natural bristles for highly polished or delicate bare floors such as tile, parquet or hard wood.Sebo Automatic X5 Upright Vacuum Cleaners
