He doesn’t pressure a sale whatsoever! I was going to buy an X7 but he explained that it wasn’t needed for my use.

Very interesting. What do you mean by "old money".
There is some generational wealth in the area, but still a rough area.

That makes more sense, thanks.
I have a further discovery! My blue brush roll had been worn down by a difficult rug I bought! The issue has nothing to do with Sebo!

A rug broke your vacuum?

I reckon you should use a green bristle brush roll next. I had a problem with a Windsor Sensor S12, basically a Sebo G4 with a three contact commercial grounded cord where it would show a belt jam red light and shut off any time I tried to clean the deep pile plush carpets in our previous home. I spent over an hour on the phone with a tech from Windsor testing things and found nothing wrong. Frustrated the vacuum, which I had just bought, could only be used to clean the indoor-outdoor carpet in our garage. A lot of money for a garage vac ! But the local Sebo dealer suggested I try the green bristle brush roll. To my relief that solved the problem. It might also solve yours.

I hope that works.
I actually have the green brush roll as well, and it makes the X4 significantly easier to use on the rug. I ordered the green one after I bought the rug in May. I was afraid that I might wear something out quickly switching brush rolls constantly. I have a simple solution, I’ll primarily use my vacuums that have a manual height adjustment and do well on the rug, I keep two that work well on that rug in the same part of the house.
The rug did not break the vacuum, it wore the brush roll down prematurely. The more that the brush roll wears, the lower the head will go, thus giving me the hard to push experience on my other hard wearing wall to wall carpet. When I get my new blue brush I will officially compare the wear, it did not wear enough for the brush light to come on.

The brush light not coming on is quite a funny detail. I meant wore out the brushroll. Automatic height adjustment loses again.
The x4 is now fixed! The new blue brush roll brought my Sebo back to the easy to push feel I bought it for!

Why didn't you go with the green brush roll?

I might potentially try this on my Windsor Sensor XP15 I got for $10 the other day. I think the brushroll is fine, I just might try it to be sure.

My Sensor S12 was unusable on deep pile carpet with the blue bristle brush roll. The belt sensor constantly thought the drag on the brush roll was a jam and shut the machine off. Switching to the green bristle brush roll solved that problem.

I have a green brush as well, I bought it specifically for the hard to clean rug that I bought. The green brush would not be appropriate for the rest of the wall to wall carpet throughout the house. I also believe that constant switching of brush rolls might wear something out. I keep the x4 in the closet of the room with the difficult rug. The x4 and my Lindhaus healthcare are in that closet, I just get the healthcare out for the rug. The room also has hard floors, so I’d rather use something more suitable. I also keep my Unique in the other closet on that floor, it also works well on the rug. A canister would really be most appropriate for my house, but I don’t really like using them. If I was a canister person, I would have bought the D4.
