The 90406AM SEBO G4 Essential Upright Vacuum
SEBO Essential G4 Upright Vacuum Features
- Three-Step Hospital Grade Filtration - Features an S-Class, pre-motor microfilter, a three-layer Ultra Bag, an exhaust filter, and a tightly sealed casing that prevents dirty air from escaping through its seams.
- Four-Level Manual Height Adjustment - The Brush Roller can manually be adjusted up or down for optimal cleaning effectiveness on all types of flooring.
- Brush Obstruction Light with Automatic Shut Off - If something is to become jammed in the brush roller the red check brush warning light will flash quickly, the brush roller will stop spinning and the vacuum will shut off. This feature prevents the belts from breaking and protects the motor and carpets from damage.
- Incorrect Height Setting or Worn Brush Light - When the brush height is set too high for optimal cleaning, or when the brush roller should be replaced, the red check brush light will remain lit during use. (Note: the vacuum will not shut off.) The light will shut off when the problem is corrected, ensuring consistently effective brush agitation on carpets.
- Full Bag or Clog Light with Automatic Shut Off - When the bag is full, a clog in airflow or an excessively dirty microfilter is detected, the red "bag full or clog" warning light will illuminate, the vacuum will automatically shut down after 60 seconds and then …the warning light starts to constantly flash. This feature prevents overheating and motor damage from the lack of adequate airflow.
- Easy Brush Removal and Cleaning - Cleaning hair or other debris from the brush roller, replacing it when its bristles are worn, is quick and easy with no tools required. This feature ensures consistently effective brush agitation of the carpet pile.
- Instant Use Wand and Suction Hose - The integrated, instant use wand and suction hose are always ready. Just pull out any tool to clean hard to reach corners, edges, and other crevices. The wand and hose together have an eight-foot reach. The suction hose is ideal for cleaning the furniture. An optional nine-foot extension hose is available for more reach.
- Low, 5 1/2-inch Profile - when you lower the handle flat to the floor you can easily clean under beds or lower it to the intermediate stop position to maneuver over rugs. Depress the foot pedal again and to bypass the stop position, or close this position by moving the orange handle position slider to the right.
- Soft Start Feature - With this model, the motor gradually starts up extending the life of the vacuum's motor.
- Combination Carrying Handle with Rotating Cord Hook - The G4 is easy to carry and can quickly unwind the power cord.
- Three On-Board, Full Size Cleaning Attachments and Large Filter Bag - The G4 Essential includes a crevice tool, dusting brush, and upholstery tool along with a 1.4-gallon filter bag. Many other optional tools and accessories are available for this model.
- Durable Heavy Duty Belts - These belts are reinforced, geared belts that will not slip or stretch, resulting in more efficient use of power, and should last the lifetime of the vacuum.
- Extra Long Power Cord - The 40 ft power cord saves time by reducing the number of outlets needed during use.
- Protective, Rubber Coated Wheels - Its heels protect all floor surfaces and provide smooth maneuverability.
- Easy Maintenance - The SEBO Essential G4 clog removal door and replaceable brush roller are easy to access.
SEBO Essential G4 Filtration
S-Class Pre-Motor Microfilters - These filters are made from an electrostatically charged microfiber material that attracts and captures dust particles from the airflow of the vacuum before it passes over the motor to cool it. Cooling the motor with super-clean air increases motor life and reduces the possibility of maintenance, even after many years of use. The S-class Standard requires filters to absorb greater than 99.9% of particles down to 0.3 microns in diameter. For comparison, 100 microns is the diameter of a human hair. Their advantages are a relatively open texture that allows smoother airflow for better suction performance, a longer life expectancy, and they cost less than HEPA filters.
HEPA Pre-Motor Microfilters (Optional) - HEPA Pre-motor Microfilters (“High-Efficiency Particulate Air”) remove a minimum of 99.97% of all airborne particulate matter down to 0.3 microns in diameter. Because these filters use small grid-like structures to capture dust particles, dirt build-up clogs the airflow pathway sooner than what is expected from S-class microfilters. However, SEBO’s HEPA microfilters are sold along with four-layer “Ultra-bags,” which provide highly effective filtration before the airflow goes through the HEPA microfilter, greatly increasing life expectancy and reducing the potential of diminished airflow.
Exhaust Filter - Exhaust filters clean the air emitted by the vacuum motor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does "automatic" mean on a SEBO X series upright?
A: The X series automatically adjusts brush height to your carpet pile - no manual settings. Higher models (X7, X8) add computer control that monitors brush wear, airflow, and bag fullness.
Q: Are SEBO X series vacuums good for pet hair?
A: Yes. The automatic height adjustment keeps the brush at the optimal depth for pulling pet hair out of any carpet height, and the sealed filtration traps dander.
Q: How long do SEBO uprights last?
A: Built in Germany for commercial-duty cycles, 15-20 years of home use is typical. As an authorized SEBO dealer, Ballwin Vacuum Center registers your machine for SEBO's extended warranty: 10 years on the motor, 10 years on non-wear parts, 7 years on labor.
Q: Are SEBO X series vacuums bagged?
A: Yes. They use large AeraPure bags with hospital-grade filtration, so emptying means tossing a sealed bag - no dust cloud.
Q: What's the difference between the X4, X7, and X8?
A: The X4 is the classic automatic upright. The X7 adds computer-controlled brush monitoring, a headlight, and clog/Bag-full indicators. The X8 is the premium model with the largest bag and longest cord in the series.
