Excellent, lightweight and fun,
I just got this vacuum and love it so far. It is really lightweight and super versatile. I like how you can use it on both hardwood and carpet with a simple push of a button. So far, it’s super powerful and picks up all the kid dirt and dog hair, which is key since my baby is always playing on the floor. I like how you can detach the powerhead and carry it around by the sidehandle and use the hose to dust or clean upholstery. When you take off the powerhead, its less than 10 pounds.
I needed a lightweight vac that I could use all the time and lug up and down stairs. The side handle makes it super easy to carry and it’s a lot lighter than most other uprights. Simpler to use than canisters also.
It is also super cute with the pretty plaid. The ice blue style is nice too.

|Great Vacuum from a picky buyer,
Great vacuum, we have killed 4 vacuums in the span of 3 years. We don’t have a cat, but we do have a pug, and he sheds allot. Maybe not as much as long haired dogs, but it is noticable. Let me break down the review so people will have some more info. First of all we have owned 2 Eureka’s, 1 Dyson, 1 Roomba, and Dirt Devil.
The Dirt Devil lasted about 3 months before i started replacing belts and filters, it was very troublsome, and sometimes decided even with an empty bag that it woulldnt suck as much as it should up.
The Roomba is a great vacuum for touch up, and while your not home, not very practicle on cleaning days when you want to just vacuum the living room on the spot, or any other room for that matter. The container is too small, and i dont believe the one we had contained any sort of filtration.
The Dyson was all hype, worked great for about 6 months, but the bagless deal is crap, and regardless of the advertisment it does loose suction. We ended up selling it on craiglist becuase i didnt like it at all.
The Eureka that was had was “The Boss”, and it was great, for about a year. There was always a funny smell to it, but it had great suction and bags were relativly inexpensive. I hated how big and bulky it was, since we have a small apartment, but it did a good job for a while. It does have an annoying feature, when you vacuum the hose does not stay in its holder and keeps flopping out and makes it really annoying to use. But of the rest, and for the price that was the best one. Well a year later into our second one and we have the same problems as the first one, plus its big and bulky, and i dont like it, my wife dosnt like it because it is just heavy enough she dosnt want anything to do with it. So we started our search.
Sebo Felix Pros-
Excelent suction, does a great job, no problems with that at all, the suction isnt really lost even when the bag is full, a 1300 watt motor is a great friend to have
Full Bag Indicator light- not that big of a deal, but it does come in handy, and is a nice feature. Maks it great to know when the bag is full without having to actually look into the bag
Adjustable RPM speed- Not a big selling point for me because i just leave it on the hightest setting to vacuum my carpet and non carpet areas, but for people with delicate throw rugs, or nice tile it is great
Swivel Neck- The neck swivels, and makes it easier to manuver
Brush control- the ability to turn the brush off when you are not vacuuming carpets, like the kitchen, is great. Plus it has a self stop clutch mechanism that if you accientally suck up a sock or something it shuts the brush off so you dont tangle it up in the brush, and you can just pull the item right out. Great design and functionality.
Light and compact- easily lighter than the eureka and dyson, we live in a small apartment and it can be stored anywere
Cheap replacable parts- The bags at $2, the brush is $20 if you have to replace the brush. The inside filter is $25 and the exhaust filter is $35, those last for a long time about 20-32 bag changes.
Sebo Felix Cons-
Pricy- at $549 it was the priciest vacuum i was considering, but after having laid almost as much down for a dyson that was crap i was still skeptical. The price was a big problem for me as money is tight.
Not great for above floor vacuuming- It is not small enough or light weight enough for easy above floor vacuuming, luckily i do not have this problem in my 1 BDR single floor apt, but it is something to consider if you do.
Price- Again i cannot stress enough how much price played a part in my decision to buy it, or actually to almost not buy it.
In the end it was about spending more money in 3 years on technically 5 vacuums, then this one would cost if it last 3 years, we are on the way and it looks like i got a winner. The vacuum is still going strong, the warrenty is great, 5 year on parts (motor and belt included) and one year on labor. My vacuum store is authorized to do repairs and they are fairly inexpensive. Cost to maintain is very low and it does the job. Thats right people a vacuum that actually dose what it says and will last a while. That was value in my eyes, and so far i am nothing buy happy about having bought this thing, it is great and if your on the fence i suggest you get one. At least go to your local salesman and try one out.
