Best Vacuum Ever – Worth every penny,
I LOVE my SEBO Felix vacuum. It is brilliantly designed, features high-quality German engineering, is lightweight and very user friendly. They thought of everything when designing this, even the small details make a difference. Prior to doing a lot of research I figured I’d just get a $150 -$200 vacuum, but wanted a lightweight one since I live in a tri-level house with a lot of stairs. It was very difficult to find one that was effective and didn’t weigh 23 – 26lbs. After checking multiple vacuum sites I found this product consistently got rave reviews from consumers and vacuum industry critics — this brand is even used in the White House and Buckingham Palace. I had never even heard of it before. Initially, I had a hard time justifying paying over $500 for a vacuum, but no other lightweight upright had all the features,great reviews and superior filtration.This vacuum should last 12-15 years or more, so the cost is well worth it. I am thrilled with my SEBO Felix; it is quiet, very powerful and easy to handle. All of the attachments go into place easily and it maneuvers into tough curves and corners with ease, and can easily get under beds and other furniture. I recommend also buying the turbo brush attachment (great for cars, stairs)and a pack of extra bags. The crevice tool and upholstery attachment also work extremely well.

Simply Excellent,
What really made us zero in on this model was the concise video we saw on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-AdZfIKnGwo). We couldn’t believe how they did the stairs (we added a turbo brush to do this). And, then, we tried it at home—it worked fantastic.
We know it’s still early (we’ve had this for only 2 days), but it is an excellent fit for us. This vacuum is, we never thought we’d say this, just wonderful. It’s fantastic on carpeting, tile, linoleum, and wood floors–we have all four. The premium model comes with a carpet head and a bare floor head plus a crevice tool and upholstery brush. (We’ll likely buy a wand and dust tool soon.) When you study the filtration design and implementation compared to others brands it is incredibly clever and highly effective.
One thing we had difficulty finding on-line was how loud vacuums were. If anything we found sites that ranked “noise level” or “quiet” but never actual decibel levels. When doing research we found that normal conversation ranges from 60 to 70 decibels. The Felix manual said that this vacuum registers at 68. We found to our amazement that we could talk over the vacuum—we’ve never been able to do this with any other vacuum. It is welcomely quiet!
It’s incredibly compact, has incredible maneuverability, and is very light. We are (again) simply amazed thus far. It’s worth evaluating this to see if this model/design works for you.
