"Does fantastic with dog hair."
"the suction power is absolutely ridiculous! ... We have cats, and a big dog, and a lot of foot traffic and it really keeps up well. ... When we ripped out the last of the (very) old carpet in our house I was shocked that there was practically no dust/sand underneath - I feel like that was solid evidence that it had been doing a good job keeping up."
"put my Dyson Animal to shame."

"I have the Sebo X4. I’ve had it for about 20 years maybe longer?"
"Love mine ... my sister has had hers for 15+ years."
"If you buy a Sebo, the manual comes with an exploded parts diagram where you can buy each and every part."

"it's so NICE to throw the bag of stinky (I have a golden retriever XD) dog hair into the trash and not have it funking up the whole vacuum, forever."
"The filtration is seriously THAT GOOD. The bags are HEPA material, then there's another HEPA filter that follows that, and another HEPA filter after the motor. ... the bags are quite thick, and that extra tower filter in there that catches anything loose in the bag chamber makes a big difference in air quality... Essentially it's filtering through the equivalent of two bags vs 1. ... Speaking strictly from experience, I'm allergic to all the things and I never sneeze or get watery itchy gritty eyes when I'm using mine, which I normally always do."
"I'm not as faithful about changing those bags as I should be, and it never gets stinky on me. I use it for awful jobs like vacuuming out the truck/cars, inside the blower chamber of the furnace, dryer vents, etc, stuff I really should be using a shop vac for, and the inside of it stays remarkably *very* clean"

"I just asked about how often I’d be buying bags for a sebo with two high shedding large dogs, (similar probably too a gsd and 3 (if long hair cats) I would probably be replacing the bag every week. ... Calculating that cost for two dogs is another 210 a year in bags (probably more for me)"
"These are going to start around $600-700 unless you find one used ... That's a steep price however, and not realistic for many families."

"If you're cleaning a lot of hardwood floors, I would not do Sebo uprights as they don't have a brushroll shutoff"

Dual motor vacuums have one motor that runs the brush roll and one that creates the suction. They generally clean more deeply and have more power. However the dual motor also adds a significant amount of weight to the vacuum. A dual motor vacuum does not necessarily have a brush on/off switch. Unless you have a carpet cleaning business a dual motor is probably overkill. I went from a dual motor vacuum to a single motor Sebo x4 and I don't notice any difference in the cleanliness of the floor/carpet. I do however appreciate a vacuum that is 6lbs lighter.
r/VacuumCleaners • Best bagged vacuum? ->Sebo is most of my business so that!
r/VacuumCleaners • Best vacuum cleaner of 2025???? ->Of course she will get conflicting views here. SEBO if you have the money as well worth it if not, go with the Kenny.
r/VacuumCleaners • Recommendation for lots of pet hair and carpets. ->100 bucks or so, I sold thousand of those , my fav
r/VacuumCleaners • Sebo X4 boost ->SEBO x4 or G series bulletproof and easy to work on
r/VacuumCleaners • Teenager-Proof Commercial Vacuums ->People like them but we had plenty of issues with them, this one made in Vietnam now, make sure you have a dealer near you, or just buy a Sebo x4, I've sold thousands for combo surfaces
r/VacuumCleaners • Riccar? ->Or the only other quality Vacuum is the SEBO you can tell them that you want one of those instead
r/VacuumCleaners • Return Advice Needed ->As a small vacuum business myself, I would be happy to switch it out for you, if you feel better, call them ahead of time. Tell him what happened and you decide to go with the SEBO
r/VacuumCleaners • Return Advice Needed ->They are having issues with their new SEB O and they are upset, these things are very rare, but they do happen
r/VacuumCleaners • Return Advice Needed ->We recently got a sebo x4 to replace our second dying hoover. It feels super high quality and we are pretty happy with it. Our only complaint is that we miss being able to shut off the brush because it makes the floor warm where it sits when using the hose attachment.
r/VacuumCleaners • i want to invest in a nice vacuum ->yeah not sure about that vibrating thing. Even the hoover bagless windtunnel whole house rewind is on the CRI list, and is a $170 vacuum that is very basic and doesn't do the best at picking up everything. I used to have one, and my parents dyson dc07 picked up more of what it missed, and that vacuum was out performed by my mom's new to her Sebo x4
r/VacuumCleaners • Soniclean ->The best vacuum cleaner is the one that fits your cleaning needs. That said; if I’m choosing: - MD or Vacuflo central vac with chameleon retractable hoses and direct connext inlets. - Canister: SEBO D4 - Raw Power upright: Riccar R40 - Overall upright: Sebo X -Cordless: Hoover ONEPWR Hepa Bagged Upright BH55500PC (oreck has one, Hoover commercial has 40v version) - Ultralight: Oreck Elevate Conquer (yes Riccar R17 is excellent but this has a swivel neck)
r/VacuumCleaners • What's the best vacuum currently in existence, price not relevant? ->I’ve got an X4 Boost and it’s a wonderful machine. It’s the vacuum cleaner I grab when I need to get stuff done. You can use it on bare floor, it is designed for it. I use it on luxury vinyl plank - it does well with any flat, hard-wearing floor. But delicate wood or very bumpy tile might be a no go. My only tip with this machine is to make sure to put the wand handle back over the unlock tab. I do wish SEBO found a better way to index the wand into the slot on the X7 to eliminate this issue.
r/VacuumCleaners • Impulse buy: Sebo Automatic X4 ->SEBO bristles are also pretty long and flexible and SEBO doesn’t have a reputation for being a carpet shredder. I’ve stuck my hand on the nozzle and the cleaning action is more gentle than a lot of machines. Laminate flooring is surprisingly tough - the top layer is usually melamine like counter tops and it won’t have an issue with the X4. Melamine resin is much harder than nylon bristle. Now a polished marble floor or pine, maybe not.
r/VacuumCleaners • Impulse buy: Sebo Automatic X4 ->That happens if you go onto a thicker rug and the machine is too low and doesn’t have enough time to raise the nozzle before triggering the shut down. Putting the handle into the upright position will raise the nozzle up. The X was created mainly for carpets with some hard floor use. It’s really a carpet - first cleaner and it’s pretty good at it too.
r/VacuumCleaners • Impulse buy: Sebo Automatic X4 ->I just got a SeboX4 and absolutely love it. Took advice from everyone on here. Walnut Creek vacuum will give you 25% any vacuum they sell. They have Melia vacuums to. I got the X4 for $620 everywhere else is 850-900
r/VacuumCleaners • What do you recommend Miele or Sabo? ->Had one for 20 years or so and then bought a Sebo X4. The Sebo was more expensive and much better.
r/VacuumCleaners • Opinions on Oreck ->I have the Sebo X4. I’ve had it for about 20 years maybe longer? It’s great. I had to replace the pedal and it was inexpensive to do and easy.
r/BuyItForLife • These are the most recommended vacuum cleaners on Reddit (r/VacuumCleaners VS others) as of Jan 2025 ->It's a great machine. Ya dun good 😁 Do replace the filters periodically. And to do that, get the "Service Boxes", not just the filters. The service boxes come with a replacement squeegee for the base that helps it actually work on the hard floors and not just flick things like kitty litter back towards your feet and those squeegees do eventually tear and fall apart.
r/VacuumCleaners • Impulse buy: Sebo Automatic X4 ->Sebo Automatic X4 or X7 with the softer brush roll (green bristles)
r/VacuumCleaners • Vacuum Headache - Delicate wool berber carpet ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
