I feel like it is not easy to use whilst cleaning a multi surfaced home- unlike the Dyson DC25 Animal I used to use daily.. and I am depressed about it. The Felix I use seems so much more versatile, but it smells like dog. Is a Miele Cat/Dog worth it? What Vacuum wont smell, will easily clean embedded hairs and switch to hard floor attachment in same room, and will not cost thousands? The Sebo does not even seem to get the furs as well as my broken Dyson! The Felix seems like it would.. but I read that miele canister has best CF.. what is it? Suction.. cfm? argh.. Who has a Sauber? Anyone here? The Dyson canister is growing on me. Suction great for dusting with brush and crevices.. but the damn beater brush sucks. I need help. My workers HATE the new Sebo. I need one more big vac that will do it all- and then a new little one that is easy to carry and dust and reach under stuff good.

Okey dokey. I thought the G1 cleaned extremely well. Maybe the brushroll needs changing? But all bagged machines smell. The new Dyson models are a big improvement over the DC25 maybe you could try one of those? |

The G1 and the Felix aren't that far apart from offering anything different in my experience. I find it unusual that you don't like the G1. Fair enough it doesn't have a brush roll on/off and doesn't swivel.
If you are only complaining that your Felix smells of dog, then it WONT be the bag or the filter that also requires changing but also cleaning out the hose AND cleaning out the dust channel behind the brush roll. Oils from pet hair is especially pungent and often gets lined around dust channels as well as the hose, associated tools and hoses. Hoses on all vacuums ALWAYS need cleaned out if you have pets to clean up after. It doesn't matter whether it is bagged or bagless. The SEBO hoses are great for washing out and easy to do, provided that you let them dry completely before installing back onto the machine. The hose on the Miele S7 is however screwed in and will need to removed carefully. |

Forgot to say if it does need a new brushroll the check brush light will come on, on the floorhead. |

My vac guy says to put a few drops of tap a drop inside the felix canister to eliminate pet odors. @sptyks I like that guy, cause he likes the Felix and the Riccars :) |

I think there is something wrong with my G1. I need to take it to the vacuum man. It cuts out whilst using and the suction is "iffy". Ya, I use it a lot. I have a cleaning business. I have many Dyson and one Riccar and more.. OH my gah. I just got the hard floor parquet brush for the Dyson canister and it is THE BEST THING EVER! On a pet hair laden house. THE BEST.
