GoVacuum Review Series - Sebo X4 Extra Upright Vacuum
Out of all the vacuum cleaners GoVacuum sells, the Sebo X4 Extra is by far our best upright vacuum. Sebo is a German company that has been making vacuums since 1969. Sebo also makes vacuum cleaners under the following name brands all over the world; Karcher, Tornado, and Windsor. These machines are built to last forever.
One thing that really sets the Sebo far apart from any other upright on the market is the filtration system. The European term for HEPA filtration is S-Class filtration. What makes the Sebo unique is that the main filter to the vacuum is actually before the motor. Every other vacuum cleaner, the main filter is after the motor. Most have some kind of pre-motor filter which is usually made of foam, and really only stops large particles from going in the motor and damaging it. Because the Sebo’s S-Class filter is before the motor, this means that ALL dust particles are stopped from going in the motor, even the very fine dust particles that can’t be seen by the naked eye.
In 6 years of selling Sebo vacuums, GoVacuum has yet to do a warranty repair. What’s impressive is that even if you took a 5 year old Sebo, the inside of the motor housing would still be 100% dust free because of the sophisticated filtration system.
Most upright vacuums don’t perform on bare floors very well. Upright vacuums are really designed to clean carpets. The Sebo is the exception to the rule. The automatic height adjustment on the X series automatically adjusts the head of the machine to match any type of flooring. Even delicate oriental rugs are no problem. Most other machines you have to fight with the rug, and try and straddle the rug while you vacuum at the same time.
In terms of customer satisfaction on uprights, the Sebo X4 Extra ranks number one. We highly recommend it for anyone looking to get over the junk vacuum habit and looking to really experience what German engineering can do for cleaning your house.
