- Help! I need your advice.
Richard gave me this one owner from new SEBO X1 and there are a few things wrong with it. Not sure what the best thing to do with it is so thought I'd ask you guys.
Please let me know in the comments :)

These are great machines that give a long, reliable service life when well maintained.
All the parts to repair this machine are available new from Sebo. Bearing end cap about £15, rear wheels about £15 each and height wheel a smidge cheaper.
How many other manufacturers have parts easily available for a twenty year old machine these days?
I think a dusting brush was an optional extra available with or without the clip.
Some fancier variants later came with dusting brush, clip and extention hose.
For us it would be hard to justify spending the time and money to get this in good condition.
If the seals are leaky then that's another twenty quid to sort.
Good examples in the UK still don't make great money in the UK. Today there is a clean 1.1 on EBay for £35. They aren't sexy, fancy or riddled with flashy screens so seldom appeal to modern tastes.
Sebo's are almost always repairable for someone who has the wherewithal and funds.
We dunno if Steve fits these criteria.
We suspect this also has a pattern brushroll as the genuine Sebo ones have white or blue bristles. Quality of aftermarket brushrolls varies and originals are only £20 so we'd stick to genuine.
Funnily enough, this weekend, Richard confirmed that this was indeed a pattern brushroll!
That machine is much older than 2002. Its mid 1990’s as it has a solid metal sole plate and a very old serial number. The soleplates were updated in 1997 with a plastic rear part to incorporate a silicone sealing strip to improve hard floor pick up 🙂 it must’ve only just had a replacement bag door in the last 21 years.
Interesting, thanks for the info
I thought it was older too. The X1.1 and X4 were out by 2002, and even if the X1 was available still, Sebo had moved onto the white 1000w models
I rate any sebo - even a poor conditon one so im biased - id fix it and keep it in the collection!nice old X1
Sebo beats anything on the market and has done for a very long time, excellent vacuum machines which when serviced and maintained are the best around.
I think the best option is to restore. That’s assuming parts cost after a strip down don’t make it uneconomic to repair.
If it works well after a refurb, then it should sell for a reasonable price.
The condition of the wheels is making me think of the Ab Fab theme song...😂
The bad wheels would be the major issue - they would all need replacing and that would probably be a problem, as second hand ones would likely be in just as poor a condition with the X1 being so old now. Worn seals, knackered bearings etc - it's done its time, its 21 years old, has had a hard life, and its worn out, and I think it's time to scrap it off. You can get second hand X4 models much newer than 21 years old for pretty cheap, so the old X1 just aint worth bothering repairing. If it was mine, it would be scrapped off.
I would repair it. Parts are available and it is still a good cleaner.
Had a late 90s Eureka/Electrolux on your side, that had tools on board but a too short hose...very vexing...😮
Before you work out what to do. See how much the replacements cost
Fully restore and then make your decision!
I think you should fix it and sell it. They can go for quite alot
I would keep it
Restore it and keep and use it.
Can't you just buy a bearing instead of the whole plastic endcap?
I probably could. However, getting the old bearing out and the new one in would be a struggle and might break the end cap
@@TheVintageApplianceEmporium 😕, worth a try though before replacing the whole part
Don't keep
Sebo. To complex for their own good. Break for spares or sell as spares or repair.
No they are not. Shows you don’t really know the machines at all. They have very simple electronics that can be easily repaired as it’s been designed to be stripped down and repaired very easily!!
@@blakaeg K.I.S.S. no electronics, gearboxes, etc
