Alex,
Sam is obviously quite happy with his X1, as he's already expressed. So why don't you do us all a favour and shut the hell up, just for five bloody minutes because you're attitude is getting RIGHT on everybody's nerves.
We KNOW you're not a Sebo fan, you've told EVERYBODY 500,000 times. But instead of posting pointless, negative remarks with absolutely no purpose other than to shove your opinion in everybody's face AGAIN, can't you just be pleased for Sam that he got a cleaner that he's happy with and for a very reasonable price? Or better yet, if you don't like it, just don't comment on it.
There is a polite, tactful and constructive way on which to express an opposing opinion, but you clearly don't know how to do that.
