The “Kombi” model of the Felix is a great jack of all trades vac for people with primarily hard floors.,
Edit: I went ahead and bought the parquet tool (7200DG, the last two digits denote the color that matches your unit). I decided I didn’t want it at first because I read that it didn’t work very good, but ultimately I decided to buy one to make sure I didn’t vacuum with the felix for 15 years not using the parquet tool if it worked well. Turns out it works very good in my case. I just vacuumed up food(from feeding a toddlers) and it picked up the big pieces just fine. I like the fact that the brush will help get dust off the floor. I recommend the parquet tool based on my initial use. This makes the total cost 369 + 52 = 421, which is not bad considering the value I’m perceiving from using the unit the last few months. So far the bag usage have been very reasonable as well.
*****************
I have a house that has zero carpet. If I could have only one vacuum it would be the Sebo Felix Kombi. If I could have two vacuums it would be the Sebo Felix Kombi for small and medium size jobs and a back-pack vacuum for the days when I want to vacuum the whole house.
The Sebo Felix is sold in several different models with the nozzle (part that touches the floor) and the included attachments being different. Two of the models have two different width powered nozzles with beater bars. The Kombi model and what I’m reviewing comes without a power nozzle, but rather a “combination” nozzle that is meant for hard floors and light rug duty. The Kombi nozzle does not have any spinning parts such as a beater-bar or motor. The Kombi currently sells for $230 dollars less than the premium 1 model (premium 2 has a wide power nozzle). This is great because I’m able to own a new Felix for less than 400 dollars and since I have only a few rugs in a house that is hard wood, vinyl composite tile, and porcelain tile, I don’t even need a powered nozzle! This is a big point for people with hard floors because most other vacuums that I’m aware of don’t allow you to pass on an unneeded expensive feature. My backpack vacuum is like this too and I’ll talk about it in a bit. At this point the Kombi model is less than twice the cost of a medium quality bag-less (yuck!) Junker that will last me a fraction of the time the Sebo will likely serve my family.
I’ve had my Felix just under two months and have used it no less than twenty plus times. Being a design engineer I understand the concept that no single design is optimized for all situations. A canister vac is good in some situations and horrible in others. My Kirby G4 upright is the Godzilla of vacuuming carpet as far as I’m concerned, but it’s like using a tank to pick up take-out food in some situations. The Sebo is an upright vacuum (Kombi is a little weird read below) that is light weight enough that you can pop out the suction tube and carry it in one hand and have a canister-like vacuum in seconds….. with the onboard attachments you can grab the Felix Kombi off the wall (I have my hanging on a hook) and attack a wide variety of cleaning situations quickly, efficiently, and hang it back up. This contrasts many other vacuums in that they do not switch rolls very easily. My Kirby requires that I remove large chunks of heavy metal to put on a hose I have to drag separately to the location for attachments that are also not on the vacuum. The Sebo felix goes from upright vacuuming to a hose with a crevice tool in your hand in seconds without having to round up any additional parts (they are all either part of the vacuum or stored on it).
Felix Standout features:
Bag and air handling design is superior. Ribs in the housing make sure that suction is maintained when the bag is partially full…. This means the smaller bag gets fuller before you need to replace it making it comparable to vacuums with larger volume bags. The bag has an integrated cap in a plastic injected molded top that can be snapped shut before you pull the bag out. That means you can swop bags without making a mess. The variable speed suction motor is very nice….. Similar to a dimmer-sliding light switch the motor can be spun up slowly…..this is a very nice feature if you have infants or people sensitive to noise (autistic child) because you can suck up light dirt reasonably well with very little noise (applies to Kombi… don’t know about the power nozzles because I don’t have them). The ability to pull the suction tube out on the fly to vacuum a sliding glass door track or similar (2 attachments are on board) is awesome. The nozzles rotate or pivot about the vacuum body, this means you can pivot it around and get into tight places a Kirby would never dream of trying to park in. The cord is high quality and is easily deployed and wound up. I wind my cord in a criss-cross pattern and it falls off perfectly with no tangling. Has a bag fullness indicator based on suction (still on my first bag after 20+ smallish clean up jobs…
