Great video Sam, though sad to see a lovely machine a bit neglected. We'd only over recommend buying a genuine Sebo service box for such X models. For most use cases it would have everything you need to keep a machine happy for 12 months for around £30. For those on a budget there are pattern service boxes for half that price - not as good as genuine Sebo but certainly better than paper bags and would have prevented the meltdown due to the blocked final filter. Sebo have not made or sold these brushrolls with white bristles for many, many years. We suspect this is an original part, never replaced. Sebo brushrolls hide their wear very well. The tough bristles generally do not wear down. Instead, over time, they soften and splay. They seem to remain effective but if you compare the grooming and agitation performance of an old machine with white bristles to the same machine fitted with a new blue-bristled brushroll the difference is night & day. A massive improvement with a genuine part costing around £20. A set of new genuine body seals would set you back another £10 or so. Prices on new Sebo machines have been on the up & up of recent times and anyone investing in one must also consider some small extra costs by only using genuine bags and filters as a minimum. This will lead to a long and fuss free life for the machine & owner.
I do need to get a stock of sebo bags in, this was an unforgivable incident not having any in 😂 I was quite happy with the seal bodge though. Sebo showed me their stash in their workshop when I visited and I get it's the better way to do it but... This worked and is invisible 🤷😂👌
We too like a bodge for stuff that belongs to other folk. If it is ours though we stick with the real deal wherever possible. You bodge is therefore approved ✅
Sebos are great machines. Love to see the videos of them Sam. Always a pleasure to see an X4 worked on on yoir chsnnel. On a side note how is the big numatic hooligan fairing nowadays ?
If you don't want the vintage look of a Kirby these probably clean just as well for most people but by god are Sebo terrible at ergonomics. Probably where Dyson & Miele exceed the most with the ball and other swivel joints.
The steerable swivel joint on upright vacuum cleaners was first introduced by Sebo on their Dart and later Felix range. This improved manoeuvrability was seen as a great technology step forward and was adopted by other manufacturers.
I've always found the auto bit pre x7 to either skim or bite down deep which makes them a bit of a gamble, depends on your flooring I've found. Once your using them their not too clunky, being quite light helps. The felix's swivel does fix that part, but the machine is a bit heavier and if you don't have the pivot centred before locking the head into park it rolls across and down to the floor sideways 😬
@@sebo_up_and_down Dyson released the DC02 in 1995 which already had swivel joints at the hose end and handle with all of the machine being designed for both stairs and more ergonomic use. The DC15 was barley released after the Dart’s release in 2004 at 2005.
@@beko1987 They’re not great. All of the automatic machines I’ve owned have been back breaking and I can’t exactly say the Felix is as light as something like the Small Ball Allergy.
Funny enough, me Sebo service box (part no: 5828ER) was delivered today to replace non genuine parts on a cheap X1 I bought the other week. Still waiting on the replacement belts though! Quite like the two tone colour on that X4, great job as ever Sam! 🎉

This video was both interesting and informative. Loving it.
A sebo from inside, very interesting.

I can confirm SEBO’s did come fitted with a MARBO fuse in the plug. 😆

Thanks! He's doing OK, I lent him out to someone I vaguely know who had a flood a couple of months ago and need to put him away really... 😂🤷
another person using cheap pattern bags in expensive vacuum cleaners like this my mum has the X7 upright and they are fantastic vacuum cleaners

Oooh lovely! Always worth treating them to genuine parts if the machine was very very cheap. Good luck.
