SEBO x7

[madaboutsebo]

Not sure what SEBO reasoning for removing the handle lock, they must have their reasons for doing so I’m sure! It might just be because they put the new handle release pedal on which doesn’t or can’t accommodate that feature!? The new handle release pedal is the same as the Evoloution in that if the user forces the handle/body down without using the foot pedal the handle will release without causing any damage to the machine/main body! SEBO may have seem issues with users doing this on the X4 model hence the foot pedal change!?

Not sure why the carpet performance is different between the X1.1 and X7 but SEBO would be using the standard EU tests they have to carry out and the rating came out as D. One thing SEBO don’t tend to do is manufacture/design a machine to suit the EU tests the manufacturers have to carry out for the energy labelling from what I’m told/heard.

Lots of differing views here I see. We sell Sebo as some will know (Olga in the first video is my wife and that video is in our shop).

What I can tell you is that people are starting to buy the X7, and we have had no complaints. If any of the UK folks here want one, I'll do you a keen price.

We have also sent our first one to the US, Dupage Vacuums in Illinois has one from us.

where is she from

Wondering where Olga is from, couldn't place the accent. Is the machine that was sent to the United States a 120 volt machine? I'm assuming they have to use completely different motors for the United States market, I wish we used 240 volts here, it's actually more efficient than 120.

N0oxy, her accent if Russian.

The X7 machine we sent to Illinois was indeed a standard European voltage one. I assume he has a 240 outlet somewhere (dont you use them on ovens or such?) or a converter. I use a converter on my imported US machines.

240 volt outlets

Yes we do use those on some things, although I'm not sure if the plug is the same but an adapter could solve that issue. Electric stoves and driers are the main appliances that use 240 volt outlets here. I know they make converters to use 120 volt appliances on a 240 volt outlet, but are there converters to use a 240 device on a 120 volt outlet, I would think this would be more difficult since it's much easier to step a voltage down than to step it up.

There are power inverters installed in vehicles that turn a 12 volt dc current to 120 volt ac current. I have seen them on pickup trucks designed with the contractor in mind.

Voltage Converter...

This unit will allow you to use any 240 volt vacuum cleaner on 120 volts:
