We've had a Sebo Felix in daily use for a good 10 years or so which bought after getting fed up with several Dysons which variously fell apart in short order and prior to that a Miele cylinder which was a pain to drag about and didn't have a powered head. I'm writing this review having been tasked with buying my mother-in-law a new vacuum suitable for a small cottage with nooks and crannies, parquet, carpets and carpeted stairs having contemplated going cordless for weight saving.I bought the Sebo Felix on the basis of Which! reviews regarding performance and ease of use as well as several comments saying how well made Sebos are. On receipt and in use for 10 years it's hard to fault the build quality.Nothing has broken off, no cables have frayed and the power head works a treat. So long as you change the bags regularly and stump up for new internal filters (available online from Sebo and elsewhere) every couple of years the Sebo does the job and it's still great at picking up dust, pet hairs, human hair and pollen.Compared to other uprights the Sebo Felix is more portable and easy to use. The body detaches from the head and it becomes a handheld like a Baywatch throw-in-the-sea float with a big handle that's easy to grip. That means it's a doddle vacuum stairs, curtains, on top of units and tops of doors but it could use an extension pipe if you have tall ceilings or dado rails to do - not a problem if you are chucking your old vacuum and it has extension pipes (or visit eBay/the local tip).The stair and sofa attachment is solid plastic and would benefit from a bit of soft plastic rubbing strip to tease out threads but since that's not available elsewhere it's a suggestion to manufacturers generally. The nozzle tool is standard and there's a brush available - useful for car shelves and dado rails. It also comes with a parquet floor tool but we've never used it as the power head is great.It is the power head that makes the Felix a 'Best Buy' since it turns the Felix into a powerful upright vacuum with none of the usual drawbacks since the body pivots on a ball on the power head and has a L-shaped front carrying the power brush. That means it's brilliant at getting around chair legs and under the shallowest of sideboards. Having spent the odd hour over many years stripping down a Dyson and my mother's '60's Hoover to get hair or carpet tassels out of the brushes or belt this is where the Sebo knocks spots off other vacuums - all you do is rotate the front of the power head 90 degrees to slide out the brush at which point you can snip off hair wrapped round it (we live in a "house of hair") and wash it under the tap. After 10 years or more it still has the same brushes and they still work. 'nuff said.So, if you are thinking of getting a cordless Bosch Athlet at half the weight bear in mind user reviews saying putting the tools on is fiddly and you have to dismantle it and use a shoulder strap to vacuum stairs. With the Felix you just step on the release button to release the body and uncoil the Flexi pipe and shove on a nozzle or stair tool. If you have several flights of stairs the good news is that the cable is long and has not creased or frayed over the years since it the handle to wrap it round is well designed.The only thing that has broken was a little orange flap on the bottom of the power head which can be opened to release balls of fluff, celloptape or the odd screw accidentally vacuumed up. And even then the reason for replacement was because I chipped the flap so the spring that holds it shut wasn't closing it completely.The Felix design appears to be unchanged over 10 years apart from the change from paper to cloth bags. That says to me Sebo got it right first time since nothing has fallen off and it cleans just as well as it did when new. It puts the purchase price into context with Dysons costing 50% more. The only cost is bags (buy in 20's) and filters every year or two which relative the to the performance gain over bagless vacuums (I've got one in my shop - good for hard floors but not carpets).Hope this helps.

I have had several Dyson's over the last 15 years. But this Hoover makes the Dyson over priced and over rated with poor suction compared to the sebo.The stairs attachment is ok but not worth the money. Hairs do get wrapped around brushes however I'm ok with that as the suction and handling makes up for it. It's a bit awkward with the hose attachment. Again can live with that as its performance outlays the negatives.ove it. Andover having a bag hoover again.x

I rate this vacuum cleaner as being the best that I have ever used.Great in the house and for cleaning the car as well.Spares and other pieces of helpful kit are available on the manufacturers website. Go for it, you won’t regret it.

This is my second Sebo and I had been slightly concerned that the suction would not be as good as my old Sebo, but there was nothing to worry about it has great suction. An all round good vacuum cleaner.
