SEBO Essential G5 Upright Vacuum (Light Gray/Dark Gray) | #90407AM
The SEBO Essential G5 (Light Gray/Dark Gray) Vacuum | Model 90407AM is a German-made upright designed for high-square-footage cleaning with a wider head and commercial-grade durability. The G5 uses a 15-inch power head (with a 13.25-inch cleaning path) to cover more floor per pass, plus a long 40-foot cord and a large 1.4-gallon bag to reduce stops and outlet changes.
At-a-Glance Highlights
- Wide-format cleaning for faster coverage in bigger rooms
- Electronic “brain” warning system alerts to worn brush or incorrect height setting
- Bag full/clog protection + automatic shutoff to help prevent overheating
- Instant-use wand + suction hose with about an 8-foot reach for edges and above-floor jobs
- Three on-board tools always ready (crevice, upholstery, dusting)
- Scratch/scuff-resistant matte finish and rubber-coated wheels for home protection
Recommended Floor Types
- Wall-to-wall carpet: low, medium, and plush (use the 4-level brush height adjustment to match pile)
- Area rugs: standard rugs and runners (set brush height so the head “floats” without bogging down)
- Hard floors: hardwood, engineered wood, LVP/LVT, tile, stone (supported for bare-floor cleaning)
- Pet homes: built for strong brush agitation and hair pickup with a large bag for fewer changes
Product Description
The G5 Essential is for customers who want a simple, rugged upright that cleans quickly and holds up over time. It’s especially compelling in larger homes because the wider head reduces total passes, and the extra-long cord minimizes outlet changes. SEBO also designed the Essential G platform with a tightly sealed casing and multi-stage filtration for cleaner operation and more controlled dust handling during bag changes.
Key Features
- 15-inch power head with one-sided edge cleaning: helps pull debris from edges and along baseboards
- Four-level manual brush height adjustment: dial the head height for consistent carpet agitation
- Tool-free brush roller removal: faster hair cleanup and simpler maintenance
- Bag full / clog warning + auto shutoff: designed to protect airflow and the motor when a restriction is detected
- Soft-start motor: gradual power-up intended to extend motor life
- Instant-use wand + hose: quick corner, upholstery, and stair-edge cleaning without changing machines
- Durable matte finish + rubber-coated wheels: helps reduce scuffs to the vacuum and your floors

FAQs
1) What’s the difference between the Essential G4 and Essential G5?
The primary difference is width: the G5 uses a 15-inch head with a wider cleaning path for faster coverage.
2) Is the SEBO Essential G5 #90407AM good for pet hair?
Yes—SEBO designed the Essential G platform for strong brush agitation and includes a protective warning/shutoff system to help manage hair load and obstructions.
3) How do I choose the correct brush height setting?
Use the lowest setting that allows smooth movement without bogging down. If the vacuum indicates an incorrect height setting, raise the head one level and continue.
4) Can it clean hard floors?
Yes—SEBO lists the Essential G as capable of bare-floor cleaning. Use a suitable height setting and slower passes on delicate surfaces.
5) How far does the hose/wand reach for stairs and upholstery?
The instant-use wand and suction hose are designed to provide about an 8-foot reach for edges, corners, and furniture.
6) What bags and filters does it use?

Clear Shipping Standards • Return Guidance • Refund Timing
Shipping, Return & Refund Policy
AceVacuums wants customers to understand shipping expectations, return requirements, and refund timing clearly before placing an order. This page explains how order processing, shipping, return authorization, exchanges, damaged-item reporting, and refunds are generally handled.
Our goal is to keep policy information easy to read, professionally structured, and fair to both the customer and the condition standards required for product resale and support.
Quick Access
How to Use This Policy Page
This page is designed as a single policy center for customers who want a clearer summary of shipping, return, and refund expectations before ordering from AceVacuums.
Product category, item condition, packaging completeness, reporting speed, carrier timing, and whether a product is opened, used, installed, or special-order can all affect the final policy outcome.
Shipping Policy
AceVacuums aims to process and ship eligible in-stock orders as quickly as possible so customers are not left waiting unnecessarily for common vacuum products, parts, bags, filters, or accessories. The live page currently presents this as a shipping-and-return page, so this combined format preserves that structure in a cleaner layout. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
Order processing
Eligible in-stock orders placed before the daily business-day cutoff are generally processed the same day. Orders placed after the cutoff, on weekends, or on holidays are generally processed on the next business day.
Shipping timing can vary
Final shipping and delivery timing may be affected by carrier performance, weather, inventory confirmation, order verification, holidays, or whether the item is special-order or temporarily unavailable.
Tracking and delivery
Once an order ships, delivery timing is generally controlled by the carrier. Customers should monitor tracking updates and inspect packages promptly after arrival.
Return Policy
AceVacuums wants customers to understand return expectations clearly before placing an order. Returns are reviewed based on timing, item condition, product category, and whether the merchandise remains complete and resale-ready.
Return authorization is required
All returns must be requested and approved by AceVacuums before the item is sent back. Unauthorized returns may be refused.
Standard return window
Eligible items should generally be reported for return within 30 days of delivery unless another condition is stated on the product page, invoice, or at the time of purchase.
Condition matters
Original packaging, manuals, accessories, cleanliness, and overall condition affect whether a return can be accepted and on what terms.
Opened or used items: Opened, installed, assembled, or used products may be subject to inspection, reduced refund eligibility, restocking fees, exchange limits, or denial depending on category and condition.
Non-Returnable or Final-Sale Items
Certain products may be non-returnable or final sale depending on category, condition, installation status, or product-specific rules.
Damaged, Defective, Incorrect, or Missing Items
If an order arrives damaged, defective, incomplete, or incorrect, contact AceVacuums as soon as possible after delivery. The current live policy page already combines shipping and return expectations, so this section clarifies the issue-reporting path customers most often need. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
What customers should do
- Inspect the shipment promptly
- Keep all original packaging
- Take clear photos if damage is visible
- Provide the order number and issue summary
Why prompt reporting matters
Problems reported quickly are easier to document and investigate. Delayed reporting can reduce available resolution options depending on the issue and the carrier timeline.
Refund Policy
Refunds are issued after inspection
Refunds are generally issued only after the returned item is received, inspected, and approved by AceVacuums.
Possible deductions
Depending on the circumstances, original shipping charges, return shipping costs, or restocking fees may be non-refundable or deducted where permitted and appropriate.
Refund timing
If approved, refunds are generally issued back to the original payment method. Timing may vary based on inspection completion and payment-provider processing.
Exchanges
Eligible exchange requests may be approved based on item condition, replacement availability, return reason, and whether the replacement is the same item or a different product.
Return Shipping Costs
Unless the return is due to an approved seller error or an approved damaged/defective item claim, the customer is generally responsible for return shipping costs.
Store vs Online Orders
In-store purchases may be subject to different procedures than online orders. Customers should follow the instructions on their receipt, invoice, or from AceVacuums staff when applicable.
