How does the automatic height adjustment work?

A computer senses brush resistance and raises or lowers the head electronically as you move across carpet or bare floor. It also compensates as the brush wears.

Does it work on bare floors?

Yes. The head can be set for bare floors, and the brush-mode button lets you turn the brush off for hard surfaces.

What filtration does it use?

S-Class filtration removes at least 99.97% of particles down to 0.3 microns. A HEPA filter is available as an option.

Can I use it without the power head?

No. The machine runs only with the power head attached; the hose and wand are for above-floor cleaning with the included tools.

What comes in the box?

The vacuum, a crevice tool, a dusting brush and an upholstery tool, plus the integrated hose and wand.

How does it compare with the X8?

The X8 is the larger sibling with a wider head and a boost mode. The X7 is the more compact choice for tighter rooms and lighter lifting.

About the Sebo Automatic X7 ePower Upright Vacuum

The Sebo Automatic X7 ePower is an upright vacuum made in Germany. A computer monitors the brush action and controls the powered height adjustment, so the cleaning head stays in the best position. It cleans bare floors and is listed for pet use.

The vacuum shuts off if suction drops because of a blockage or a full bag. It also shuts off at once if the brush roller jams, which protects the motor and belts. The hose and wand are integrated, and the upholstery and crevice nozzles are stored on board.

S-Class filtration and a multi-layer bag hold the dust inside. To meet the S-Class standard, the system must remove at least 99.97% of particles of 0.3 microns. The Sebo S-Class system removes 100% of particles of 1 micron and above. HEPA filtration is available.
