How often do Sebo's need servicing?

[weltron]

Hi all.

Not long ago I bought a brand new Sebo Dart. I was wondering if it was recommended to take the vacuum in every year for a service, or if I could do the servicing myself. What would a yearly service entail for a Sebo anyway?

Thanks!

As Sebo's are commercial vacuums designed to be easy to repair and maintain, you can easily service them yourself.

A service would be a replacement brush-roll, new set of filters (for the Dart, it'll be the fleece filter around the body), generally a strip down of the power-head, washing anything that isnt electrical, grease the swivel head if it needs it, pop it all back together and then the job is done.

I've done this with an 8 year old Felix, and it looks and runs the same as it did the day it was bought.

Replace the filters every 10 to 20 bags change the brush when it needs it that's it.
