Built to last for many years. Designed for easy maintenance.

With the new ‘right to repair’, the European Union is sending a strong signal in favour of sustainability, durability and conscious consumption from 1 August 2026. For consumers, this means that high-quality vacuum cleaners should, in future, be even easier to repair and able to be used for longer – rather than being replaced prematurely.

For SEBO, this philosophy has always been a matter of course. Right from the development stage of our vacuum cleaners, we place great emphasis on durable construction, high-quality materials and ease of repair. Many components can be easily replaced – ensuring a long service life and consistently reliable performance.

Repair rather than replace

The new EU regulation strengthens consumer rights and promotes a more sustainable approach to electrical appliances. Manufacturers are required to make repairs easier and to supply key spare parts for a longer period of time.

SEBO wholeheartedly welcomes this development. A long-term supply of spare parts has been part of our quality promise for many years. After all, high-quality appliances should not become disposable products, but should remain in reliable use for many years.

Why SEBO vacuum cleaners are particularly easy to repair

✓ Spare parts available in the long term
We keep many original spare parts in stock for at least 7 years after a model has been discontinued.

✓ Replacement of individual components
Many components do not need to be replaced entirely. Wear parts such as brushes, filters, hoses or small parts can be replaced individually.

✓ Repair-friendly design
Our machines are engineered for easy maintenance, with many components designed to be readily accessible and replaceable.

✓ Service provided by specialist retailers & SEBO experts
Our specialist retail partners provide support with maintenance, repairs and the supply of spare parts.

✓ Quality from Velbert
The majority of our vacuum cleaners are developed and manufactured at our site in Velbert – with short lines of communication between development, production and service.

 

Frequently asked questions about the right to repair

 

Which vacuum cleaners are covered by the right to repair?

The European right to repair currently applies to corded domestic vacuum cleaners purchased on or after 1 August 2026. Cordless vacuum cleaners are not currently covered by these specific requirements.

Regardless of this, SEBO is committed to designing its cordless appliances to be as durable and easy to maintain as possible. Spare parts and accessories are also available for our cordless vacuum cleaners.


 

Can I have my SEBO vacuum cleaner repaired?

Yes. SEBO vacuum cleaners are designed for a long service life and are constructed to be particularly easy to repair. Many components can be replaced individually, so it is often not necessary to replace an entire assembly. If repairs are required, please contact your SEBO specialist dealer first.


 

How long are spare parts available for SEBO vacuum cleaners?

SEBO has always stood for durable products and a reliable supply of spare parts. That is why we generally keep original spare parts for our vacuum cleaners available for at least 7 years after a model has been discontinued – often for much longer. This means that many SEBO machines can still be repaired and used even after many years.


 

Where can I find spare parts for my SEBO model?

Original SEBO filter bags, filters and other accessories are available from authorised SEBO retailers. We also provide an order form for original spare parts for our corded domestic vacuum cleaners. You can find it here. There, you can select the spare parts you need and request them directly from us.

Please note that we only distribute spare parts to customers in Germany.


Tip: Using genuine SEBO spare parts ensures that the quality, performance and functionality of your vacuum cleaner are maintained in the long term.


 

Can I replace wear parts myself?

Yes. Many wear parts in a SEBO vacuum cleaner can be replaced easily by yourself without the need for special tools. These include, for example, filters, dust bags, brush strips, brush rollers and nozzles. Our appliances are designed to make regular maintenance and minor replacement tasks particularly straightforward.


For technical repairs or safety-critical components, we recommend seeking assistance from a SEBO specialist dealer or our service department.


 

How much will it cost to repair my SEBO vacuum cleaner?

The cost of a repair depends on the specific model, the spare part required and the scope of the work. As many components can be replaced individually, a repair is often a cost-effective alternative to buying a new appliance.


Your SEBO specialist dealer will inspect your appliance and provide you with a clear breakdown of the potential repair costs.


 

Does the right to repair also apply to cordless vacuum cleaners?

The current legal requirements regarding the European ‘right to repair’ apply to certain product groups – including corded vacuum cleaners. Cordless vacuum cleaners are not currently covered by these specific requirements.


Regardless of this, SEBO is committed to designing its cordless appliances to be as durable and easy to maintain as possible. Spare parts and accessories are also available for our cordless vacuum cleaners.


 

Why is repairing a vacuum cleaner greener than buying a new one?

Using existing machines for longer saves valuable resources and reduces electronic waste. That is why SEBO develops vacuum cleaners using high-quality materials, replaceable components and a long-term supply of spare parts – so that your appliance can continue to operate reliably for many years.


 

Can I order spare parts from abroad?

The order form for genuine spare parts available on our website is intended exclusively for customers in Germany.


Customers from abroad should please contact the authorised SEBO sales partner or specialist retailer in their respective country. There, you will receive assistance in selecting and ordering the correct genuine spare parts, as well as information on availability and service.
