I was fed up buying new vacuum cleaners almost every 18 months. I tried both Hoover and Exlectrolux and am not impressed by either! I have used a Dyson and whilst it seemed good at the time, after using my Sebo, a 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 a bag and even when almost full, there is very little difference in suction power.The microfilter was already in 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 the top together and slide off, there are little covers to put over the opening so nothing spills out whilst you are carrying it to the rubbish bin. Then just slide a new bag on - all done in a minute. The bags are made from three separate layers and very little will escape through the bag - if it does, the microfilter and exhaust filter will stop it getting any further.
This is a practical looking cleaner - no fancy degisns or unnecessary decoration. It looks like it is built to last and I believe it will. It is an expensive cleaner, compared to some on the market, but for this particular make, I totally believe you are getting your money's worth. My cleaner comes with a 2 year warranty and an additional 5 year parts guarentee as standard, no additional warranty purchase required. It cost me £203 for my Sebo x1.1, including delivery and three packs of 10 bags (didn't realise just how long they would last me!!).I am convinced it is one of the best household appliance investments I have made. It made a spectcacular job of cleaning out my car too.
Although on the expensive side, I would not hesitate to recomment this vacuum cleaner to anyone.

Good review, as below, am not impressed with my Dyson either. Have not heard of Sebo, one to look out for.
