What were the problems you were having with your Sebo Felix? | ||

I would get another Miele or are there any Tacony products in the UK? They are great.
I'm a little surprised in your Sebo experience. I was under the impression that their build quality was supposed to be good. I don't like Sebo cause I've had very poor cleaning experience and not user friendly with the few machines I've used of theirs. Oh well, now I really can't recommend them. Good luck with your next vac. | ||

If you want a daily vacuum cleaner along the same lines as the Felix, why not consider the Vax Mach Air 3? It has a new swivelling floor head and like the Air Ram, it is bagless, but with a slightly bigger dust capacity. Or if you want to go cheaper, try Hoover's new Globe uprights. My money would be on the Vax Mach Air Reach model as it comes with a long cord just like the Felix and a detachable extension hose. I tried the Air3 but it wasn't for me - much prefer the flatter fixed position of the original Mach Air design.

Well the original Mach Air has a 1.5 litre dust capacity compared to the Air3's 2 litre dust capacity. Not much there other than 0.5 litres more which for a bagless vac, is really not that much of a bonus. I like your video though!
Whilst I like the look of the Air3, I wasn't that impressed with the turning swivel of the floor head. Maybe its just me - I'm more used to a heavier, more quality feel with the Felix - the Air3's floor head just doesn't seem to feel planted on carpets despite its rear wheels. Do you find this? I find the original fixed position easier in this respect and I adore softer bristles for my wool carpets. | ||

Well, the thought did cross my mind. However, I find that SEBO vacuum cords last the longest if they have the original cord with sealed plugs rather than a refurbished unit or a handle with a cord and removable plug. The amount of times I had to keep reseating the plug onto the cord on my X1.1 every couple of months drove me mad until I finally bought a replacement cord with a sealed plug and stitched/wired it into the X1.1's handle. That was three years ago - the X1.1 is used mostly every day, and no problems.
