X-Series
Sebo X4
Sebo X5
The SEBO X4 Extra Automatic S-Class upright is
designed for customers who desire a long-lasting
trouble-free upright that will provide very high
filtration and a cleaner home environment. It boasts
many convenient features including an
easy-to-change paper bag, active automatic height
adjustment, removable brush roll and on-board
attachments that are always ready to use.
Performance is enhanced by a powerful 2-fan
motor, non-slip cog belts and efficient high
filtration system. This is a truly commercial quality
upright which will provide many years of
outstanding performance in your home.

Multi-Layer System Provides S-Class Net Filtration

Having a vacuum cleaner with HEPA filter doesn't
guarantee that the exhausted air will actually meet
that stringent standard. Quite a few with HEPA
exhaust filters are not completely sealed so they can
have significant dust leakage through seams in their
cases, greatly reducing the beneficial effects of
their HEPA filters. Dust leakage can be a major
problem for those with dust related allergies or
asthma.

The SEBO X4 Extra Automatic upright has multiple
layers of filtration media in a completely sealed
system. This very efficient filtration system
consists of a large three layer paper bag, large area
electrostatic Micro-Hygiene-Filter and an extremely
fine foam exhaust filter. While no specific filter is
called a HEPA filter, the net filtration of the
complete vacuum meets the stringent S-Class
(HEPA) specification with an efficiency greater
than 99.97% at 0.3 µm (micrometers - formerly
microns). For particles 1 µm and larger, the
filtration rate is 100%. Net filtration is derived from
testing the complete vacuum cleaner in operation
versus the filter media alone. This is important for
your home because it is the only rating system that
measures total equipment filtration efficiency.

S-Class is a designation used by Europeans to
indicate that a filter or system meets stringent
standards like the British Standard 5415 and
German norm: DIN 2418B Ti-E EU 13 for filtration
performance. It is essentially the same as the HEPA
specification in the USA.

Low Operating Costs

Most HEPA filters need to be replaced every six or
twelve months at an operating cost of about $1.00
per week. SEBO reduces your operating costs by
incorporating a high efficiency paper bag and lower
cost filters to create a very efficient S-Class
filtration system without using an expensive HEPA
filter. SEBO recommends replacing the tubular
Micro-Hygiene-Filter and fine foam exhaust filter
whenever you use twenty paper bags. To help you
with this, they have a Service Kit available which
contains ten paper bags, one Electrostatic
Micro-Hygiene-Filter and one fine foam exhaust
filter all for only .

Convenient On-Board Attachments

The SEBO X4 Extra Automatic upright carries its
Dusting Brush, Upholstery Nozzle and Crevice Tool
conveniently on-board with the hose and wand
always attached and ready to use. A unique wand
on this SEBO upright stores most of the stretch
hose inside it. This dramatically shortens the air
flow path to provide better air flow when cleaning
carpets. The wand also has a special handle so it is
very easy to remove from the upright to catch
those hard to reach corners. Alternately, you can
simply pull the hose out of the wand and use the
attachments directly on the hose end.

Extra Bonus Package

The SEBO X4 Extra Automatic Upright also
includes an "Extra" bonus package containing the
Turbine Upholstery Nozzle with revolving brush roll
and an Extension Hose. The brushing action by the
turbine driven revolving brush roll in the SEBO
Turbine Upholstery Nozzle provides deeper cleaning
of your upholstered furniture and carpeted stairs.
Experience cleaning with the strong suction from
your SEBO X4 Extra upright vacuum cleaner
combined with the brushing action of this turbine
driven nozzle. It's much more effective than using a
small hand held vacuum cleaner.

The 9.2' extension hose connects to the attached
hose to provide a total attachment reach of at least
14.5'. This works very nicely for cleaning your
stairs while keeping the upright safely at the
bottom. To use this hose to make cleaning
non-carpeted floors a breeze, consider the optional
Bare Floor Brush and Extension Wand.

Easy to Change Paper Bags

Are you tired of struggling to replace your
vacuum's paper bags? With the SEBO X4 Extra
Automatic, changing them is a breeze. Struggle no
longer trying to fit a cardboard with hole over a
tube hidden by the paper bag while trying not to
tear the bag. With SEBO, you don't even need to
bend over. Simply unlatch and remove the bag
chamber lid from the vacuum and the paper bag
comes along with it. Place a green dust seal disk
into the hole in the green plastic bag top and slip it
out of the holder. Just as easily, slide a new bag
into the holder and replace the lid on the vacuum.
That's all there is to it. It couldn't be easier and
more dust free!

Durable and Efficient Clean-Air Design

A key feature that the SEBO X4 Extra Automatic
uprights incorporate is the clean-air system design.
The air flow which picked up the dirt is cleaned by
the three layer paper bag and electrostatic
Micro-Hygiene-Filter before it passes through the
fans of the suction motor. This design eliminates
fan breakage problems which can be caused when
objects are picked up by a dirty-air system. Also, it
typically produces significantly more suction,
especially when the hose and attachments are used.
For more about these two designs, see our article
on Fan or Impeller Types & Performance.

Two-Stage 12 Amp. Suction Motor

A quiet, powerful two-stage suction motor provides
exceptional air flow for cleaning all types of floors
and for above-the-floor cleaning with the on-board
attachments. The use of two fans pulling together
reduces the sound level and maintenance costs by
allowing the motor to operate at a lower speed.
This motor, with its all metal construction and ball
bearings, is rated for 800 hours of use so it should
give dependable service for more than 10 years.
This very quiet vacuum is rated at a sound level of
66dB A. The SEBO X4 Extra Automatic upright is
rated at 92.5" of Water Lift (215mbar) and 103.8
CFM of air flow while drawing 12 Amps. from
your home's electrical system. The maximum
amperage permitted for UL Approval of an upright
vacuum cleaner is 12.0 Amps. If you see a rating
higher than that, it probably is an Efficiency Rating.

Durable and Effective Brush Roll

Effectiveness is accomplished by arranging the
bristles in a 360 degree convergent format on the
brush roll. The steep spiral of the bristles,
combined with its high speed, efficiently moves the
dirt toward the dirt intake. The long wearing
bristles are designed to withstand even hard
commercial use. This vacuum will even tell you
when the brushes need to be replaced by lighting
the "check brush" indicator.

You can very easily and quickly removed the brush
roll to replace it or simply remove wrapped hair and
thread from it. Simply press the release button on
top of the nozzle to remove the nozzle end plate.
Then twist the brush roll slightly and slide it out
through that opening. Replacing it is just as easy.
This is a very nice feature for those dealing with
long human or pet hair which wraps on any
revolving brush roll. There even are raised thread
guard rings at the roll's ends which prevent hair and
thread from getting into the bearings by flipping
over the ends of the roll.

Automatic Active Height Adjustment

The SEBO X4 Extra Automatic upright
electronically monitors its system's performance
including the brush roll speed. This same circuit
actively adjusts the vacuum's nozzle height to
perfectly match your carpeted and non-carpeted
floors. This active height adjustment is performed
full time by an independent electric motor which
raises and lowers the cleaning nozzle. Indicator
lights on the nozzle's top show when the nozzle is
automatically being raised or lowered as needed.

When the handle is moved to the vertical position
for using the attachments, the nozzle is
automatically raised up so the brush roll isn't
constantly brushing on the same spot. This is also
helpful when you want to pause a moment to move
a piece of furniture without turning off the cleaner.
When you lower the handle again, the nozzle will
automatically lower to the exact height for optimum
cleaning.

Cog Type Drive Belts

The cog type drive belts provide positive power
transfer from the motor to the revolving brush roll.
This is accomplished by incorporating cogs (gear
like ridges) into the belt's inner surface which mesh
with cogs on the pulleys of the motor and brush
roll. The belts are reinforced to prevent stretching
and to resist breakage over their entire life span.
These non-slip cog belts keep the brush roll
revolving at its normal speed year after year for
maximum effectiveness. The two cog belts on this
SEBO are so well designed and protected that
SEBO warranties them for the life of the vacuum.

Fast Hybrid Overload Protection

Since the SEBO X4 Extra Automatic Upright uses
its powerful suction motor to also drive the brush
roll with non-slip cog type belts, a special
electronic/mechanical hybrid design had to be
developed to prevent damage to the motor and belts
should the brush roll be stopped instantly.

SEBO's unique mechanical system incorporates a
spring loaded sensor pulley to absorb some of the
torque plus a friction clutch which can slip to
protect everything should you accidentally catch a
carpet edge, bed spread, sock, etc. in the nozzle.
This allows the brush roll to stop instantly while the
motor keeps running without damaging it nor the
belts. In normal use, this special clutch does not
slip so the SEBO X4 Extra Automatic will have
positive power transfer from the motor to the
revolving brush roll year after year.

The special sensor pulley contains magnets which
induce current into a pickup coil to continually
monitor the brush speed electronically. This enables
the same circuits to automatically adjust the nozzle
height to match your floor covering and to provide
very fast overload protection for the vacuum. If a
large object inadvertently enters the cleaning nozzle
and drastically slows or stops the brush roll, the
electronic system turns the motor off within a few
seconds to prevent internal damage. Unplugging the
unit while dislodging the object automatically resets
the electronic overload protection circuit.

Low Flat-to-the-Floor Profile

Have you noticed how high many uprights with
on-board attachments are? As Americans, we tend
to think that bigger and bulkier are better but the
Europeans seem to know better. The SEBO
G-Series, X-Series and Lindhaus uprights are
excellent examples of European uprights that
combine low profiles with outstanding performance
and durability. The upholstery nozzle and crevice
tool are even carried in recessed areas on the back
to the vacuum so it can go flat to the floor as
shown above. This is especially nice for reaching
far under your beds and furniture with a required
clearance of only 5.5"

SEBO takes convenience one step further, enabling
you to select if you want the handle to stop when it
is half way down. Most uprights permanently have
this catch so the nozzle can be lifted to go across a
carpet edge or threshold but this can be a nuisance
when frequently going under low furniture. A
simple slide near the pivot point enables you to
select whether this handle catch is active or not.
SEBO vacuum cleaners are built to work.
Professional users prefer SEBO vacuums
worldwide. And there is definitely a good reason.
With a large focus on quality and innovation, Sebo
is one of our favorite manufacturers. Modern
technology, state-of-the-art design, and consistent
customer focus are found in all SEBO products.
They are easy to maintain and simple to use.

The automatic X machines will give exceptional
cleaning performance, automatically adjusting
themselves to the optimum cleaning height. They
will switch themselves off automatically if they are
jammed, blocked, or if the bag is full. Once located
on the holder, the bag will load into the machine
automatically, simply by your closing the cover.

Perfect Function: Brush Action, Suction and
Filtration
The brush removes the dirt and hair and moves it to
the suction chamber. The strong airflow carries the
debris to the three-layer filter bag.

Automatic Height Adjustment: From Hard Floor to
Carpet
The electronic controls identify the floor and the
height of the carpet nap. The brush will be raised or
lowered automatically. This guarantees optimal
cleaning performance on all types of carpet and
flooring and protects the floor from damage. And
on hard floors, the SEBO automatic X, with its
intelligent design, cleans incredibly well. The sealing
strip on the bottom of the machine stops the
kickback of dirt and channels the airflow through
the remaining three sides, increasing the cleaning
performance.

The High Efficiency Filter System
The SEBO automatic X delivers S-Class filtration as
a standard feature and is well suited for sufferers of
allergies or asthma.

Three Steps of Filtration:
First, the three-layer filter bag collects the vast
majority of the debris. Then, the remainder of the
particles are collected by the micro-hygiene filter.
Only the smallest, most harmless of particles
remain. And to ensure you the cleanest air possible,
there is also an exhaust filter

Unmatched Reliability
German-engineered and constructed to the highest
standards.

Power through Efficiency
Active Height Control, a Timing Belt-driven Brush
Roller, and an Intelligent Filter Configuration allow
the automatic X series to clean effectively while
using less energy.
