I'd go with the S7, but I'd probably go with a S7 HomeCare or S7 Swing.
Out of all of the brands we carry, there isn't an upright that will clean bare floors like the S7. You flip the switch to turn the brush off and away you go. The reason I say one of the automatic models is because the suction will adjust when you go on your rugs. The other nice thing about the s7 is the brush pivots so it won't be too aggressive on your expensive rugs. I've sold tons of S7's and I've sold tons of other uprights... The s7 is truly a well built machine and provide you with many years of service. The only true con of the S7 would be its handle weight. It's not exactly light. You'd have to go down to a Miele Gallery or Dealer and play with one. One thing to keep in mind, and this is coming from a guy that sells Riccar... Miele makes everything except the wiring... They make their circuit cards, their filters and their bags. The brush roll may not have replaceable strips but it isn't going to shred your rugs. Other models are out there, and they are good machines. Riccar's Brilliance is an awesome machine but it is too aggressive when doing scatter rugs. Its an awesome machine with attached carpeting though. The maneuverability of the S7 is awesome and with the squeegee on the nozzle it is awesome for bare floors. The front portion of the head gets under furniture. All around it is a nice upright. If you were to go the canister route, I'd stay towards the S6 or S8 line. The S8 is an awesome canister but you would have three pieces you are lugging around to do your cleaning. Keep in mind any place that is worth their salt will let you borrow one of their machines for the night to decide... Especially in that price range. If you have any questions you can contact me through email or there is a link to my store in my profile. -Josh |

Here's a video showing the many configurations that the Quickstep can be adapted to. It's a long video, but worth watching. CLICK HERE TO GO TO FantomLightning's LINK |

The Felix is also far more nimble than the Miele S7. It only runs hot when owners who are so used to having conventional vacuums with a high noise associate that high power = better pick up. Not so with the German vacuums. In all the 7 years I've had my Felix, it seldom gets used on the maximum setting unless I am picking up lots of chunky dust off hard floors with the brush roll turned off.
As you say, if the Felix isn't a winner and you can send it back, then go with that offer. At least you'll know that you've tried it. The Felix has a general total weight of 6.7kg and goes to 5kg when the ET1 power nozzle head is removed. SEBO usually add their Deluxe Parquet floor tool as standard and that makes a for a quick run around on hard floors quite easy and light to do. The Miele S7 weighs 9.5kg. |

I like my Felix & I am unanimous in that! 😛 furthermore it has enough power on the low setting to gobble up everything & even when switched to high it didn't get that hot so I'm just wondering if people are getting this confused with a hob?? 😁 or a room heater?? 😱 either way its a great machine. Have a hectic!! Cheers!! 😃
