Nice! :D Whenever we got a new vacuum I used to read the manuals as my 'bedtime' story or read lol. Same thing with brochures and stuff |

I like reading manuals as well. You will always finds tips and tricks on how to use the product, like my new Bosch washing machine. If I hadn't have read the manuals, I wouldn't have known I could changed the volume of the beeps and change the default settings on each program. Sounds silly but it is the little things.
The Felix is a fantastic cleaner, pretty much what anyone would want from a cleaner. Other than a short hose (which you can buy an extension for anyway) it is pretty much bang on in terms of everything else, from build quality to performance. |

IM puzzled as to why scans of the user manual are essential given that they can be downloaded straight from the SEBO Germany site (and selecting English)? Not much has changed there, I can assure you.
The brochure scan is nice though. I have a ton of the brochures and the one you have shown, Emma indicates the old "Classic" model that is no longer available. A bit like "Burberry" though I was never one for that particular check design. Liked the cream and brown finish though, which is slightly darker than the "Vogue" that replaces it. Also the "Fun" model is a bit of a rare model, now, too. I adore my Felix but like every vacuum cleaner, it isn't perfect. I would never class it as lightweight unless the ET-1 is swapped around for the suction floor heads or Parquet floor tool - and it is far too big to go hand held. Interestingly I discovered I could go "hand held" with my SEBO 360 the other day. Just as difficult but possible. |

I thought I might as well stick the manual scans on for the sake of it. To be honest, it wouldn't bother me if it wasn't lite weight. I quite like vacs that have quite a bit of weight to them. |

Great thread Emma/vacuumlover. I brought my SEBO Felix 8 years ago from new (Classic model) and love it. It was a choice between the Felix or the X4 but I went with the Felix! It's been one of the best vacuums I've owned (along with my Vorwerk). It's the vacuum cleaner that got me back into bagged vacuums as I was a big fan of bagless. It's still performs like the day I brought it.
Here's a picture of mine (excuse the Christmas decorations in the picture!) taken a while ago. I love how the bags filled to the top, they are like a brick when full! Like sebo_fan says go and try a SEBO out see what you think.

In terms of modern machines, I don't think you can go wrong with Sebo's. They're so solid and reliable - certainly more so than anything else on the market at the moment with the exception of Kirby's, but then again, the Kirby's are 8 times more expensive. Sebo have also been known to last as long, if not longer, than Kirby's. There are still Sebo 350's from 1978/79 still in use and X1's from 1991.

Thank you Emma.
Your welcome...thought I'd post a few pictures of my SEBO Felix to view. Colour scheme looks dated on mine when you see the others. I nearly picked the Fun model when I got mine! That's was orange in colour! I hope you manage to get a SEBO in the future, and try one out too. Like the new Felix brochure blakaeg, not so much in depth detail as before. Wonder what the other brochures look like for the other models. Might have to get SEBO to send me some! Will agree there with Turbo500 SEBO are so reliable and well built. I've had my Felix 8 years this year and still going strong. I'd have another one again, would love to add an X series along with my Felix! |

If I do decide to get one, the heat won't be a problem for me as personally I prefer to use a separate machine. In other words, I would prefer to use a Henry for above floor cleaning. |

Turbo500 is spot on you only notice the heat on full power which you don't need it on that setting all the time. I noticed with my Felix since using the new synthetic bags you don't need the power as high in general.
I've sampled the new 700 watt Eco Felix and there is no noticeable heat coming from the machine even on full power. |
