The SEBO X4 Clear Automatic sells for the same price as the color versions. No premium for the see-thru finish [or more correctly unfinish]. Good looking vacuum.

A YouTube demo presumably sanctioned by SEBO on the X4 Automatic, tho not the Clear. Enjoy the narrator's accent!

And another with a more familiar accent and also very well done [Kudos to GoVacuum]:

Gotta love that SEBO vacuum!

Its not a special promotional model at all. Its just a clear version of the regular X4. Dealers can order as many as they want, and sell them for any reason, even tho they are usually just used for display, they can be ordered and sold for people to use. This is different from the clear Miele (which I also have) in that the Miele was made of acrylic, making it fragile and letting it yellow badly in the sunlight. The Sebo is the same plastic, but without the color.

Thanks Vacuuman,

FOR ''CLEARING'' THAT UP FOR US.......

BTW, for clear plastic cases, it's not a good idea to use Ammonia based cleaners (Windex, etc.) as the ammonia will attack the plastic and cause it to yellow and cloud.
This also applies to plastics used to shield many an Automotive headlight.

Thanks Vacomatic. Windex would have probably been the first thing I'd reach for.

Actually guys I'd concur on that!
The Sebo X4 Clear is a U.S Market ONLY model; it is not available to buy in Germany, in Europe and we in the UK don't get the chance to buy it either. Aren't you lucky people?!

Absolutely not! I still want a Luxe 1 Royal Chrome and can't finagle one with 120 volt AC/DC for love or money. I'd love to see Samsung's Silencio in the States -- no such luck. As well, the Nilfisk Extreme has still not come this way.

TBH its only been in the last 2 years that Nilfisk have got the finger out and launched a new range of vacuums in UK shops. Before if you wanted a Nilfisk consumers were made to pay through the nose for their metal canisters - I know because I always wanted a Nilfisk of my own having used one at halls of residence, in the days before Henry!

Can I ask you why you actually want one of these? From what I can see you'd be better off with a Sebo K series or something.

Hi vacmanuk,

I don't personally care much for the Sebo line. Luxe International to my mind may well have put together a better product (Watch out! Fist usually start flying about now.) than our erstwwhile American Electrolux now known as Aerus.

Don't get me wrong as I feel there is no such thing as the be-all end-all vacuum cleaner. So much has to do with personal fit. However, considering how much outsourced/generic stuff we see on the market, anything of possible quality stirs my interest. I am not sure but I think there may be some sort of agreement between Aerus and Luxe International, maker of the Luxe 1, regarding territory.
