Sebo X4 Hard to Push

[SeboU1]

My X4 has suddenly become hard to push, not sure if my brush is bad or a problem with the height system. My X4 is 8 months old, I don’t see how the brush (blue) could be bad. I just used it, and it was very difficult to push, I also noticed that the base was hotter than normal, my bag is not full. Does anyone have a suggestion? I will be contacting Sebo and my dealer next.

I have a solution! Before calling Sebo I wanted to try something simple, changing the bag. The bag was not full, but I forgot that I had been picking up the Duo powder from several spots that I cleaned. The Duo powder had the top of the bag caked and clogged, therefore reducing the suction and airflow going to the floor. The decreased resistance from the suction and airflow, caused the brush to be lowered further. Simple fix, I hope this helps anyone that has a similar issue!

That is a really interesting problem. It really is. A full bag would usually reduce suction so therefore clamping. The computer though. Very interesting.

The thing I like about their automatic height adjuster is that they can lower just enough where not only you'd get enough RPM but also enough airflow and agitation to clean carpets especially when it comes to cleaning like underneath the beds. When this video was released a while ago about how the SEBO works, that's what got me sold on a X4. It's too bad the spring green model was only here for a limited time because that's my most favorite color they've come out with. At least we have the X7 in pastel mint but it's also too bad it's not being used on the X4 because I like that model more.
