Sebo X7 in the US: when?

Update

So, an American X7 has arrived...in the wrong color. This one is going back unopened and the right one is on the way.

In the meantime, I can confirm the following details. Since (last I checked) it seems that all of the info, other than the pictures, on Sebo’s site is just carry over from the X4, this tag confirms many of the details about the X7. We now know for sure that it draws 1300 watts and includes a dusting brush with holder!

Can’t wait for mine to arrive!

First?

I might be the first to show the the world—ok, maybe just Vacuumland—an American Sebo X7.

I love it. I’d write more, but I’m too busy vacuuming. Will come back with more later!

@broomvac first off congratulations on your new purchase that thing looks awesome.

Question do you have an older series x machine as well?

@vacuumdevil

Thank you and sorry for the delayed reply!

I really love using this vacuum. For my new home, it’s perfect. I bought this having never used a Sebo X-series vacuum before, so a few things surprised me

1) The proportions of the vacuum are unlike those of most American machines. The Sebo is the tallest vacuum I’ve ever had and has a narrow head, making it quite maneuverable.

2) This vac has some suck! Don’t let videos of the European X7 mislead you; this 1300W+ American model holds its own.

3) The automatic height adjuster actually is convenient. I’ve come to appreciate the system which Sebo has put in this vacuum. It seems to have some kind of (perhaps rudimentary, but still effective) PID controller whose input is the RPM of the intermediate pulley, and in the end, it works well. It makes the same decisions I would make, lowering the head for the more crushed portions of the carpet and raising the head for the less trafficked areas. I’d say that Sebo did a good job striking the balance between minimizing carpet wear and cleaning effectiveness.

I’ve had several Míeles before, but this is my first Sebo. Sorry; I can’t really compare this vacuum’s control system to that of the X4, X1.1, or X1, but the X7 doesn’t seem “fickle” like the older ones are sometimes characterized.

Incidentally, I suspect that the vacuum looks for elevated RPM to determine when the bag is full. I’d be surprised if it actually measures pressure anywhere.

Boost is fun, but I think that the vacuum does well without it, too. Without boost, the vacuum was able to make the lines in the pic below. Honestly, I never really use boost.

Overall, I’m very happy with it!

That's a very nice looking X7 you got there! I would probably buy one if they made them in green again.

Excellent!
