Product Overview
The SEBO Automatic XP20 is a single-motor commercial upright vacuum with a 37 cm (15 inch) working width and electronic automatic brush height adjustment. It suits carpet cleaners, commercial cleaning contractors, offices, hotels, aged care and other high-traffic sites with a mix of carpet and hard floor.
SEBO offers the XP in three widths: the XP10 (31 cm) for rooms, and the XP20 (37 cm) and XP30 (44 cm) for corridors and open areas.

Important — Hard Floors

Features in Detail

European S-Class/HEPA Filtration
SEBO's S-Class filtration uses electrostatically charged micro-fibre material to capture fine dust from the airflow. SEBO states it captures more than 99.97% of particles at 0.3 microns.
The SEBO XP20 is approved under the National Asthma Council Australia's Sensitive Choice® program.

Protective Wheels and Bumper
Rubber-coated wheels and bumpers at the front of the vacuum cleaner help prevent incidental damage to assets like furniture or walls when vacuuming around the premises.

Easy To Maintain
Tool-free maintenance with LED lights alerting the Operator to pile height adjustment, full bag and check brush. Push a button on the vacuum head to take the brush roller out, clean it, or replace it with ease.

Flat to the Floor Profile
With its flat-to-the-floor profile, the SEBO XP vacuum cleaner can get under beds, couches, and tables with ease. That lets the power brush clean under low furniture without moving it.

Hygienic Bag Disposal
Top-fill, multi-layer SEBO ULTRA™ bags are an integral part of SEBO's filtration system because they ensure continuously strong suction and unimpeded airflow as they fill. Sealed when full so that no dust can escape into the air during bag removal and disposal.

Onboard Accessories
The patented integrated hose and wand can reach into the tiniest corners to remove dust. And both the Crevice and Upholstery tools are neatly and securely located on the vacuum, allowing quick and effortless above-the-floor cleaning.

Long Power Cord
The extra-long power cord gives the Operator a huge cleaning radius with 100% power, 100% of the time! No need to wait for batteries to charge; no equipment downtime – fade-free cleaning.

Multi-Floor Cleaning
Hard floor capable, the SEBO XP electronic controls in the power head detect a low floor height and automatically lower the head – no Operator adjustment required—just one of the many clever features of the SEBO XP range.

Multi-Level Floor Cleaning
The electronic controls in the power head identify the floor and the height of the carpet nap, raising or lowering the brush automatically, no matter what kind of floor*. The brush detects the floor resistance, then an instruction is given to adjust the head level to its optimum height, for multi-floor use. Suited to thick or high cut-pile carpet.
