If you’re doing a DIY repair to your Sebo, we’ll have the spare parts you need too.. Before you pay more on Amazon.
Automatic height adjustment not working correctly.Not picking up like it once was.
Difficult to push on the carpet (especially deep pile carpet).No power at all when you switch it on.Smoke, smell, or ominous rumbling from the motor.
Red ‘bag full’ warning light illuminated when the bag is empty.Cutting out after a short time with a warning light on.
‘Check brush’ light illuminated.
All of these problems can be repaired, probably for less money than you imagine.If you bought a Sebo X1 twenty years ago, you will recognise the Sebo XP10.. As a commercial machine the Sebo XP10 is supplied in pretty basic specification.
It has no long extending hose beyond the standard one, and it has no tools other than the stair tool and the crevice tool that live in the apertures in the back of the machine.You can add those on during purchase if you need them though.. What it does have however is the hard wearing anti-scratch surface that’s your X1 has.
The more modern X4 and X7 domestic machines tend to have a high gloss finish which is very nice until it becomes scratched with use.The hard wearing and durable commercial finish on the XP10, which is very similar to the finish on your X1, is well known to stand the test of time..
