This Sebo upright vacuum cleaner was purchased because I was looking for an efficient easy to use cleaner that was good on carpets and that I could also use on the stairs and upholstery. The Sebo was recommended to me by the staff in the department store as being suitable for use in a household where some of the family have asthma. The cleaner has special filters that are more effective than standard and also has paper bag that is easy to change ... ...cleaner.
This cleaner is so reliable and efficient that I would certainly purchase this make again although repairs and spares are available for Sebo cleaners if it should it ever go wrong. It cost a bit more than the cheapie types to purchase but it was definitely worth it. ...

Advantages: Picks up everything Disadvantages: Extending hose could be longer, but you can purchase an extension.
...Dyson seems mediocre!
The Sebo x1.1 is sort of flat packed when delivered and must be assembled before use. There are only 4 major parts and with concise instruction supplied, is very easy to put together. Once done, just pop in a bag and you are good to go. Yes, this cleaner uses bags and thank goodness I say. The bagless cleaners I have used have been very poor - what dust they expel! I would say it probably takes me about three months to fill ... ...place and having had my Sebo for nearly a year now, it still looks very clean. Having just rechecked my manual, you are advised to change the microfilter when dirty, or with every 20 bags. Let's see - one bag every three months means 60 months to use 20 bags, which means only change the filter every 5 years, unless it gets dirty. Wow, my cleaner is even better that I first thought! The bags are so easy to change - squeeze the little green clips at ...

Quick review of Sebo X 1.1
We are delighted with our Sebo - better than any 'cyclonic' cleaner made. Light too with a good hose system. Try it before you buy anything else. We haven't regretted it and we know lots of others who like their Sebo X1.1 too! ...
Advantages: Great vaccum cleaner, picks up EVERYTHING Disadvantages: can be a little heavy, wiring can be stripped easily.
...most people think are great- SEBO is out of its league! In the place I work people bring in a lot of dirt on shoes, sand and sometimes guide dog hair and I have never had a problem with any of this. I have never had the brush stick with hair which is a particular problem with my Dyson.
The vacuum glides across the floor when on and I have no problems with it. I am however young and male and I feel that those who are older and (without being sexist) ... ...run under the tap.
On a final note, the SEBO I use has hospital grade dust filters that seen to genuinely work, my Dyson makes me sneeze, this doesn't!
If you are considering this vacuum, buy it, you wont looks back. They are reliable and pick up everything. ...

Advantages: Totally automatic adjustment and fault shutdown, quiet Disadvantages: Slow adjustment when changing floor type, short hose supplied, few tools.
I liked the built in tools and 'ever-ready' hose and, having had my fill of burnt out Dyson drive belts and continued need of powerful brushes the 'permanent drive belt' aspect appealed to me alongside the automatic height adjustment. The slow response of the automatic height adjuster began to cause problems when switching between flooring types because although the suction is good (not incredible) the brush flicks bits of dirt around hard floors- ... ...old house with slightly uneven floors. The bags are big, really easy and clean to change and easily found in all of our local shops. The only problem i found is that the tools supplied seem to be orientated for stair use but the hose supplied only reaches halfway up the first flight. ...

Advantages: good overall cleaning Disadvantages: not easy to get clog out if stuck between brushes and main hose
I have had my Sebo now in excess of five years. I was going to buy a dyson but tried a neighbours and found it not very satisfactory. Went to John Lewis, still thinking Dyson and they showed me the Sebo as an alternative. You are even allowed to have a go with the machines. The sebo was much lighter. It is a bag cleaner but I have not ever found that a disadvantage. It cleans really well.
There are lights to tell you what it is doing - ie brushes ... ...a clogged bag.
I use have two children and two cats so the cleaner gets alot of wear and tear and has stood up to cleaning/time really well. When you buy the bags you get all the filters too - I usually feel abox lasts me at least a year which is good value for money.
I found it very light weight to use - much more manorverable than a dyson.
It will even lie 'flat' on the floor which means I can, just, get the hoover under my sons bed without ...

Advantages: Great on pet hair Disadvantages: Short hose
...on them & bought this Sebo and I haven't looked back since. Excellent on polypropane carpets if you own animals especially those that shed alot of hair. Easy to use if you are taller than average no bending backs and the bag is still not full after 2 months of daily cleaning after 2 boys, 2 medium dogs & 3 cats. Nice long lead so you dont have to keep unplugging it when you move about the house.
The only thing I would suggest is purchasing the extension ...
