The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

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.

Lordy. I had a Sebo K1 Komfort for 5 years, and before that X1 Automatic for 14 years. What do you mean personal fit?

Personal fit means an appliance that suits the user both performace-wise and aesthetically. Which is the reason that I never spent money on any number of brands and which is also why there are any number of vacuums that I've owned and liked that I don't imagine many other people would.

We have that right.

Can anyone here give a  logical reason why sebo  other than maybe the felix have not been accepted by the indys like the other euro machines. From what i know about them they make a very good high end upright.

Lets see a sebo x5 and the lindhaus activa series which one do you push, being the moneys the same.

Venson still likes his sunbeam courier

Hi MOLE:

SEBO and LINDHAUS are content to be a small [niche] players in the USA with the top tier independents who service affluent geographic areas and regions.  I suspect in part that they don't want to hassle with the high price of transportation costs and flunctuations of the currencies worldwide if they expand worldwide distribution of their vacuum products.

The bag is not huge.

What you are not seeing because of the grey central bag-door handle and logo trim, is that the paper bag is offset to the right of the central trim (look at the hose entry point, the bag sits directly below this).

On the left side of the cleaner (looking at the photo), the "bag" in this case, is actually the tubular motor-protection microfilter.

You cannot see that there are two separate entities, due to the trim blocking the view.
