Choosing the correct Sebo Automatic X vacuum belts<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you have a Sebo Automatic X vacuum cleaner, you may encounter difficulty identifying which belts you need if you decide to replace them as part of your routine servicing.<\/p>\n

The Sebo Automatic X vacuums comprise the following models: X1, X1.1, X4 and X7 and come in a variety of colours (even pink).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The commercial variants are models: X5, X8, XP1, XP2, XP3, XP10, XP20 and XP30.<\/p>\n

If you are stripping your Sebo vacuum cleaner down to change the motor, for example, it is good practice to change the belts at the same time because they are probably as old as the motor that has just failed.<\/p>\n

It will often be the case that you will buy some belts online and find that they don\u2019t fit. Most online sellers have inaccurate fitment information about Sebo belts because there are several types and most of them don\u2019t know one end of a Sebo from the other.<\/p>\n

Many sellers copy text from other people’s listings too, so one mistake can be amplified across many sellers. Often we see on sites like Amazon or eBay claims that such-and-such<\/em> a belt fits all Sebo X4s for example, and guess what? We know it doesn’t.<\/p>\n

It is also important to either buy genuine Sebo, OEM or otherwise top quality belts for your Sebo. This is because the larger of the two belts which runs next to the PCB must be an anti-static belt in order that static electricity does not build up and damage the PCB.<\/p>\n

Sellers of budget belts on places like eBay and Amazon will sell you belts – if they fit – that probably won\u2019t be anti-static and may damage your machine in the medium to long-term. Buying cheap and nasty Chinese belts is a false economy when it comes to your Sebo.<\/p>\n

In actual fact, the concept of a “genuine Sebo belt” can also be a bit of a misnomer as they are not stamped Sebo. Most Sebo belts are made for Sebo by Omega or Optibelt, but other makers were sometimes used.<\/p>\n

All the belts we supply are either sourced from Sebo or from a major OEM such as Optibelt, Omega or similar. Any belts we supply will be good quality and the correct specification for your Sebo.<\/p>\n

How to Choose the Correct Sebo Automatic X Vacuum belts?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We are going to demystify it for you.<\/p>\n

There are two possible combinations of belts for the models X1, X1.1, X4, X5, X7, X8 and commercial\u00a0XP models. You\u2019ll need to take off the top cover of your Sebo\u00a0before you buy<\/strong>\u00a0to be able to identify which pair you need.<\/p>\n

There are two ways\u00a0to identify\u00a0the correct belts:<\/p>\n
