All About the Sebo X7 Pet Boost: The Ultimate Vacuum for Pet Owners
For anyone considering a high-performance vacuum cleaner, especially pet owners, the Sebo Automatic X7 Pet Boost stands out as one of the top options on the market. This model offers advanced features, powerful suction, and various tools to tackle pet hair, allergens, and dirt with ease. In this guide, we’ll walk you through all the details of the Sebo X7 Pet Boost, why it’s ideal for pet owners, and what sets it apart from other models in the Sebo X Series.
First, let’s decode some of the jargon.
What does “Automatic” mean? Automatic refers to the self-levelling system, explained below and in our video in more depth.
What does “ePower” mean? ePower simply refers to a machine made after the 2017 EU vacuum ban. All new Sebos are “ePower” and all new vacuums sold in the UK are similarly wattage-limited. You can ignore it. There are no longer any new non-ePower machines apart from the bespoke 1300w X4 build we do.
Overview of the Sebo X7 Pet Boost
The Sebo X7 Pet Boost is the premium model among the three main Sebo upright X7 machines. Though some so-called “special editions” are available at places such as John Lewis or Euronics, they don’t represent the best value for money. The versions you’ll find on our site offer better value for money. The core X7 range includes three models:
- The Basic White X7 – A no-frills model compatible with previous Sebo tools and accessories. Comes with 2 onboard tools.
- The Blue X7 Extra – Comes with a dusting brush and an additional hose, perfect for homes needing extra versatility. The replacement for the old X4 Extra and Excel.
- The Black X7 Pet Boost – The ultimate model equipped with all the accessories of the Blue X7 Extra plus additional features designed specifically for pet owners.
Key Features and Tools
The Sebo X7 Pet Boost comes with several onboard tools and attachments designed to handle a variety of cleaning tasks around the home. Here’s a closer look at what you get with this machine:
- Onboard Tools: It includes a dusting brush, an upholstery tool, and a crevice tool, all conveniently stored on the vacuum. This means quick access to tools for tackling different surfaces and tight spaces.
- Extended Reach: The extendable wand and flexible hose provide a remarkable reach, ideal for stairs, high corners or getting into the car. With the addition of the extension hose, included with the Pet Boost, you’ll find it easier than ever to clean larger or hard-to-reach areas.
- Mini Turbo Tool: Specifically useful for pet owners, the mini turbo tool is perfect for removing pet hair from upholstery, stairs, and mattresses. This vacuum-driven attachment is impressively effective, even though it has a sturdy, industrial appearance.

Intelligent Self-Leveling and Boost Mode
One of the standout features of the Sebo X7 Pet Boost is its intelligent self-leveling system. The machine detects floor types automatically and adjusts the height of the cleaning head, maintaining optimal performance whether you’re on carpet or hard flooring. While in use, the vacuum’s indicator lights signal the self-adjusting process, ensuring seamless transitions across surfaces.
The Boost mode takes cleaning carpets to the next level. When activated, it presses the brush head further into the carpet pile, enhancing the agitation of the brush roll. This allows the vacuum to lift out deeply embedded dust and grit, making your carpet look fresh and well-groomed. The Boost feature, along with the headlight on the vacuum, helps ensure a thorough clean even in darker areas of your home.
Maintenance and Durability
The Sebo X7 Pet Boost is designed with longevity and ease of maintenance in mind. Here’s why it’s one of the most reliable vacuum cleaners available:
- User-Friendly Maintenance: Sebo makes it simple for users to handle basic maintenance tasks themselves. For instance, if a blockage occurs, the hose is easy to detach for inspection, and the brush roll is straightforward to remove for cleaning.
- Superior Engineering: Unlike many other brands, Sebo employs high-quality materials and components. The brush roll is driven by a steel cotter pin instead of the plastic gears often found on machines such as Dyson and Shark, which contributes to the machine’s long-lasting durability. The internal belts are made of Kevlar, known for its strength and resistance to wear, ensuring the belts neither snap nor slip. And Sebo machines are still handmade in Germany.
Sebo X7 Pet Filtration System
For homes with pets, filtration is essential to reduce allergens and odours. The Sebo X7 Pet Boost features a three-stage filtration system:
- Bag – The first line of filtration, these high-capacity bags capture dust and dirt effectively and keep everything contained.
- Charcoal Filter – This charcoal filter helps absorb pet odours, leaving your home smelling fresh while reducing allergens.
- Exhaust Filter – The final stage of filtration ensures that the air expelled from the vacuum is cleaner than the air it intakes.
With this system, the Sebo X7 Pet Boost not only removes dirt and hair but also leaves the air in your home cleaner.
Bagged Convenience: Say Goodbye to Mess
The Sebo X7 Pet Boost uses a bagged system, a convenient choice for those who prefer not to deal with messy dust containers. When the bag is full, simply slip it off, seal it, and replace it with a new one. Unlike some bagless vacuums that require frequent emptying, Sebo’s bags have a substantial capacity. Most households find they only need to change the bag once every few months, making maintenance infrequent and easy.
Warranty and Reliability
With Sebo’s longstanding commitment to quality, it’s no surprise that the X7 Pet Boost comes with a robust warranty. For customers in the UK Mainland, Sebo offers a five-year warranty, and for residents in the Highlands and islands, a two-year warranty. Sebo’s confidence in their products is backed by decades of innovation and gradual improvements, rather than frequent model changes. The Sebo X Series, now in its third generation, has been refined over time to be highly reliable and efficient.
