Verdict

The SEBO Automatic X7 is a premium, corded upright bagged vacuum cleaner powered by a high-efficiency 890W motor and manufactured in Germany. Key characteristics include a 31cm cleaning path, a 10m power cable, a generous 5.3L multi-layer Ultra Bag system, and hospital-grade S-Class filtration that captures 99.97% of particles down to 0.3 microns, certified by the British Allergy Foundation. Its primary advantages are a computer-controlled automatic height-adjustment system that instantly adapts the brush roll to different floor surfaces, an ergonomic lay-flat design capable of fully reclining to 180 degrees to clean beneath low furniture, and an intelligent motor protection shut-off system to prevent damage from blockages or brush jams. However, notable drawbacks include its substantial weight of 7.4kg, making it cumbersome to transport up and down stairs, the lack of a dedicated carrying handle, and the absence of a manual brush roll shut-off switch for delicate hard floors.
