Is the SEBO Essential G4 good for pet hair?

Yes. The 12-inch power head and strong suction are aimed at pet hair, and owners report it lifts hair from carpet well. The brush roller comes out without tools for cutting away wrapped hair.

Does it work on bare floors as well as carpet?

Yes. Four-level manual brush height adjustment lets you raise the brush for hard floors and lower it for carpet. It is a mixed-flooring upright rather than a carpet-only machine.

How often do I change the bag?

The 1.4-gallon bag is large, so changes are infrequent in a normal home. A bag-full or clog light shuts the motor off after 60 seconds when airflow drops.

Is it too heavy for stairs?

At about 17 lbs it is heavier than most modern uprights. The carrying handle helps, and the hose and wand let you clean stairs without lifting the body far.

What tools come in the box?

It ships with a crevice tool, dusting brush, upholstery nozzle and one large filter bag. The tools store on board and fit the instant-use wand.

How does it compare with the G1 it replaced?

The G4 replaces the G1 line with the same upright layout and cleaning width. Buyers moving from a G1 get the same bagged S-class filtration and low profile in the current model.
