The Sebo brush roll barrel with replaceable strips has been going since 1986...I think!
As all above from those who already own the Sebo/Windsor Versamatic/360. But also the BS36 employs the same brush roll idea. The metal barrel stays inside the vacuum and the brush strips can be changed. SEBO also offer three different brush strips; hard brushes, standard and a new delicate brush strip.
SEBO in the U.S have just been at VDTA 2016 where they have shown the "Mechanical" upright with an X bag which is different for the time being to all other models. Reason being that SEBO in the UK want to offer the Evolution/Mechanical for those in commercial markets rather than domestic.
SEBO U.S at the moment seem to be able to get the Mechanical upright with the X bags as opposed to other markets making do with the BS36/paper dust bags.
