Sebo Upright Vacuum Cleaners: The Ultimate in German Floor Care

Choosing between the Automatic X7 and the Felix depends on your home's layout and carpet density.

• For Wall-to-Wall Carpets: The SEBO Automatic X7 is the "set-and-forget" leader. Its computer-controlled sensor measures the brush resistance against the carpet 60 times per second, adjusting the height automatically to ensure deep agitation without damaging fibers.
• For Mixed Flooring & Stairs: The SEBO Felix Premium The most versatile multi-surface choice. It features a 180° swivel neck for easy navigation and a detachable powerhead that converts the unit into a handheld vacuum for stairs and upholstery. Customisable Cleaning: The Felix can be fitted with different floor heads, such as the SEBO Kombi Head for transitioning between hard floors and rugs, or a Dedicated Parquet Brush for wood and tile.
• For Luxury Wool Loop: We recommend using the Soft Brush Roller (Green). This specialised accessory prevents the "pilling" or "fuzzing" often caused by standard stiff bristles on delicate wool loops.

The choice between these models depends on your home’s layout and your preference for automation vs. manual control:

• Height Adjustment: The Automatic X7 features a computer-controlled system that automatically raises or lowers the brush head for the optimal clean on any surface. The Felix uses a manual 4-level adjustment dial, giving you precise control over how deep the brush digs into the carpet.
• Maneuverability: The Felix is famous for its "swivel neck," allowing you to steer around furniture with a flick of the wrist. The X7 has a fixed neck, making it more stable and better suited for long, straight runs of wall-to-wall carpeting.
• Hard Floor Performance: The Felix allows you to switch off the brush roller entirely (ideal for delicate rugs) and can even be fitted with a dedicated Parquet Floor Tool or Kombi Head (supplied with some Felix models). The X7 brush always rotates, though its automatic height adjustment ensures it performs well on most hard surfaces.
• On-Board Tools: The X7 features an integrated wand and "instant-use" hose that pulls straight out of the machine. The Felix uses a detachable hose, but lacks the on-board rigid wand found on the X series.
• Weight & Feel: While the Felix is technically lighter, the X7 often "feels" lighter during use because its motor is positioned lower, whereas the Felix carries its weight higher up in the handle.

Absolutely. While Sebo vacuum cleaners carry a higher upfront price tag than "high-street" brands, they are widely considered one of the best value-for-money investments you can make for your home or business.

Here is why a Sebo pays for itself over time:

• Unmatched Longevity: Most domestic vacuums are designed to last 3–7 years. In contrast, Sebo machines are German-engineered for a 15 to 20-year life expectancy. Many of our customers report their Sebos are still running like new two decades later.
• Commercial Pedigree: Sebo is the world’s leading manufacturer of commercial uprights. When you buy a domestic model like the Automatic X7 or the Felix, you are getting the same heavy-duty motors and "tank-like" build quality used in hotels, hospitals, and even Buckingham Palace.
• True Repairability: Unlike "disposable" bagless brands that are often impossible to fix once a motor or PCB fails, Sebos are modular. At MK Floortec, we stock a full range of spare parts, meaning you can easily repair your machine rather than replacing it.
• Superior Filtration & Protection: Every Sebo features S-Class Hospital Grade Filtration, making them the gold standard for allergy and asthma sufferers. Their intelligent design also includes computer-controlled height adjustment and automatic shut-off sensors to protect the motor from blockages and brush jams.
• Comprehensive Warranty: All new Sebo domestic vacuum cleaners purchased from MK Floortec come with a 5-year parts and labour guarantee, providing total peace of mind that your investment is protected.

The Verdict: If you are tired of replacing your vacuum every few years, a Sebo is the last vacuum cleaner you’ll ever need to buy.

🐾 SEBO Pet Specialist Models: Engineered for Homes with Animals

If you share your home with shedding pets, a standard vacuum often struggles with the dual challenge of stubborn fur and "doggy" smells. SEBO’s Pet Collection is engineered to eliminate both through three specialised hardware upgrades:

• Activated Charcoal Odour Filters: Exclusive to the X7 Pet and Felix Pet, these filters contain a chemical layer that neutralises smells inside the bag. Unlike standard filters, they stop the vacuum from recirculating "stale pet" odours back into your home.
• Performance +Boost (X7 Pet Only): For areas where hair is trodden deep into the carpet pile, the Automatic X7 Pet features a +Boost button. When pressed, the computer-controlled head lowers the brush for a deeper, more aggressive clean—ideal for reviving flattened pile and lifting embedded fibres.
• Motorised Turbo Tools: Both models include a handheld Motorised Turbo Tool for stairs and upholstery. Its air-driven rotating brush lifts hair from fabric surfaces where a standard floor head cannot reach.

Both the X7 and the XP series are built on the same legendary, high-performance chassis.They both feature computer-controlled brush height adjustment and S-Class filtration.However, the primary difference lies in their intended environment and warranty coverage.

Choose the Sebo Automatic X7 if...

You are buying for your home. The X7 is the "domestic king" of vacuums. It includes more refined features like the LED searchlight (on the Pet model) and, most importantly, qualifies for Sebo’s 5-year domestic warranty. If you have a mix of carpets and hard floors and want the best protection for your investment, the X7 is the standard choice.

Choose the Sebo Automatic XP if...

You are buying for a business, school, or retail space. The XP models (XP10, XP20, XP30) are stripped-down workhorses. They feature a longer, high-visibility power cable and are designed to run for many hours a day. While you can use an XP in a home, it only carries a 1-year warranty because it is classified as a commercial machine.

Pro Tip: If you have an exceptionally large home or a very long hallway, the extra 2 metres of cable on the XP is a nice perk—but most homeowners prefer the 5-year peace of mind that comes with the X7.

While they look similar, the Sebo Felix is the premium domestic version with variable suction control and a telescopic handle. The Sebo Dart is a more "stripped-back" commercial-grade version, offering the same powerful cleaning performance but without the swivel neck and adjustable suction, making it a rugged and budget-friendly alternative

SEBO vacuums are globally certified for S-Class Hospital Grade Filtration. Unlike bagless brands that can leak allergens through unsealed casings, SEBO uses a sealed system.

1. Stage 1: The 3-layer Ultra-Bag traps 99% of dust.
2. Stage 2: The Pre-motor Micro-filter protects the engine from fine particles.
3. Stage 3: The Exhaust Micro-filter ensures the air leaving the vacuum is cleaner than the air in your room—essential for asthma and allergy sufferers.

All Sebo uprights feature S-Class (Hospital Grade) Filtration. This is a three-stage sealed system that captures 99.9% of particles down to 0.3 microns. Unlike many bagless vacuums that leak fine dust back into the room, Sebo’s Ultra-Bags seal shut upon removal, ensuring that dust, pet dander, and allergens are permanently removed from your environment.
