I just went and bought a brand new Sebo Felix! I went to my local Sebo dealer and tried this thing out and absolutely loved it! So much, that I traded in my Avalir, my old Rainbow SE and a TriStar for a huge discount on this machine. I never used the other machines that much and it was time to let them go. Considering I didn’t have that much invested in the other machines I still came out to the good and got a machine I LOVE. It checks every box for what I need in a vacuum. I just say I will now be a Sebo owner for life. When this one quits I won’t hesitate to buy another. I should be good for a while though with my 7 year warranty.

I've just purchased a Sebo Felix Pet & I'm really happy with it so far. I've used an Automatic X4 before but the automatic height adjustment doesn't dig in deep enough when on a thick pile carpet for my liking. The Felix, having manual height adjustment, does a really good job at deep brushroll cleaning.
I also have a Kirby G6 / 2000 series to compare to. The Kirby would be ideal for Buckingham Palace and it's miles of carpeted corridoors, fantastic cleaning performance, but the G6 is not ideal to corner around tight narrow spots in the average British 2 up 2 down mid terraced home and is pants on hard floors without the clip on adaptor which is a faff. The Felix is may more easy to move about and with comparable performance. Spec of the British sold Felix (700w suction / 175w ET1 head) is 50l/s air flow and 175mbar vacuum (106 CFM & 70 inches of water for our American brothers) which is pretty respectable for a clean air machine. | ||

Michael, How is the carpet cleaning performance in general like? I've heard that they surprisingly do better tham the X4, which I find odd. How do you think it fares with other bypass machines? Aerus/electrolux (discovery) prolux simplicity, Miele. Congrats on your purchase! | ||

cleaning performance
I know the question wasn't directed at me but I figured I'd throw my 2c in anyways
I've been doing some sand tests the Felix scored 77% with 10 passes for comparision my Lux upright, upgraded with a henry motor scored 66% A lindhaus Healthcare pro got 49% Those are the only bypass uprights I've tested so far, but the Felix is a good machine and it does have higher airflow at the nozzle vs the X4. | ||
