How to Replace Sebo Filters – A Step-by-Step Guide
Introduction – Why Sebo Filters Matter
Sebo vacuums are engineered in Germany for reliability, suction power, and superior air quality. But to keep them performing at their best, filters must be replaced regularly. A clogged filter restricts airflow, weakens suction, and can even overheat the motor.
At Authorized Sebo Dealer AceVacuums, customers often ask: “When should I replace my Sebo filter?” or “Where can I buy genuine Sebo HEPA filters near me?” This guide will walk you through the filter replacement process for Sebo vacuums, explain which filters fit each model, and show you how to get genuine Sebo parts at AceVacuums Fairfax, Leesburg, or online.
Types of Sebo Filters You’ll Find in Your Vacuum
Every Sebo vacuum uses a multi-stage filtration system. Depending on the model, you may need one or more of the following filters:
-
Sebo HEPA Filters – Capture 99.97% of particles, best for allergy and asthma sufferers.
-
Sebo Micro/Motor Filters – Protect the motor from fine dust and extend its life.
-
Sebo Exhaust Filters – Ensure clean, filtered air exits the vacuum.
-
Sebo Active Carbon Filters (some models) – Neutralize pet odors and household smells.
Which Sebo Models Use Which Filters?
Upright Vacuums
-
Automatic X7, X4, X8 → HEPA filter + motor filter
-
Felix & Dart Series → Exhaust filter + microfilter
-
Essential G4/G5 → Filter set (motor + exhaust)
-
Mechanical 300/350 → Commercial-grade filters
Canister Vacuums
-
Airbelt K Series (K2, K3, Premium) → HEPA + exhaust filters
-
Airbelt E Series (E1, E2, E3) → HEPA + motor filter
-
Airbelt D Series (D1, D4, Premium) → HEPA + exhaust filters
Not sure which filter your Sebo takes? AceVacuums staff can check your model number and match the exact filter set you need.
How Often Should Sebo Filters Be Replaced?
-
HEPA Filters: Every 12 months (or sooner for allergy households or pet owners).
-
Motor Filters: Every 12–18 months depending on usage.
-
Exhaust Filters: Every 12 months or when visibly dirty.
💡 Pro Tip: Replace your Sebo vacuum bags and filters together for maximum performance. At AceVacuums, we sell convenient filter & bag combo packs.

-
Unplug the vacuum and open the filter compartment.
