I've been thinking about getting these for a while and decided to get them as a late Christmas present to myself.
First is the zero g vacuum, I've seen some videos on this and it really sounds nice, and since I love canister cleaners, what a nice one to add to my collection.
And then there is the Sebo Felix. This is my first upright, those of you who have read my previous posts know that I don't like uprights much, but the Felix is an exception. Since you can remove the power nozzle and attach a hard floor brush, and using the Sebo 1.25 adapter I will be able to use the Felix with all of my favorite hard floor tools. You can also use it as a hand held so even though it's in the shape of an upright, it really is a canister as far as flexibility and functionality is concerned.
I don't have any plans to get any other uprights since they are not nearly as flexible as cleaners that use a hose such as backpacks, pull around canisters or central vacuums, but I love the flexibility that the Felix provides. These will be vacuums 56 and 57 for my collection. There is nothing like opening a new vacuum, it's so exciting.

I just ordered a ZeroG FD3 vacuum-and a pack of the higher grade Silver bags.Anxious to try this vacuum.Only disadvantage of this vacuum-no wheels so you have to carry it to the place to be vacuumed-but want to try it anyways-sounds like it can be a nice vacuum for its price range.I was expecting the machine to be more expensive-and wonder if I can use the Volt nozzle with it---??

I tried a Felix a few year ago and DID NOT like it-even returned the vacuum.Worked OK as an upright-but AWKWARD as heck as a "canister"No wheels-you have to lug the thing or rest it on the floor.Did not like the carry strap that mine had-too many "bump and knock over problems" in tight spots.Like the Sebo X4,X7 better.You could use them like canisters if you can park the machine on a BARE floor so the beater brush won't touch it.You CAN'T turn the brush off.These are FINE vacuums-only clean air ones I like.
Apparently the hose end is standard so you could use the volt with it, but it comes with its own power nozzle so this would not be necessary unless you just prefer the way this nozzle cleans.
Above the floor cleaning is very difficult with upright cleaners, that's one reason I don't like them. In the case of the Felix, you can push the handle down and use it as a hand held but it's one reason I much prefer hose cleaners. They will clean floors just as well as uprights and above the floor cleaning is also a breeze.
