I have this vacuum that I purchased brand new several years ago. The cable, where it left the handle, was always a bit dodgy and I had to hold it a certain way otherwise the vacuum wouldn't work. One day, in a temper, I cut off the cable (see photos) and wired a cable directly to the motor under...

I recently got rid of a Powered Lift Away. I found it performed very well and it was also very versatile. I was having to wash the filters every 7-14 days (I have a dog) as they were consistently dirty. The dust cup had a small capacity, although I did tend to empty it well before it was even...

Dear David, Thank you for your email. I am sorry to hear that there appears to be an issue with obtaining a Felix model. With regards to SEBO Felix machines, we have not discontinued these machines and there are no plans to do so as it is currently a more lighter upright, when compared to...

Also a model which began to fail within 6 months. I've sold it, lost £40.00 in total, but I have been using it daily for the last 6 months I suppose, I'm happy with the outcome overall. I picked up my Felix yesterday and I absolutely love it! The quality difference between the Felix and the...

I purchased a new Felix from my local U.K. Euronics store this morning. I purchased it online, as I was at work, and selected to collect it later. A few hours after placing my order the Dealer rang me to tell me that there was no stock of this model and he would have to refund me. I had ordered...

I received a reply from Shark this morning. They did not have a replacement power head in stock and advised me to return the machine to the retailer I originally purchased it from for a replacement. They provided me with a return/replacement authorisation number. I have returned it to the...

6 months ago I bought a brand new Shark NV680UKT. I'm well aware that there are much better vacuums available with regards to durability, performance etc. etc. however the Shark met all of my requirements and I've been very pleased with it. This evening I was giving it a wipe over after using...

Tests Take a look at this thread by Blackheart: http://www.vacuumland.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?35013_48 It has some test results from the X4 and the Felix (along with others). You will see that the Felix yields better results than the X4. I had an X4 and I hated it. Like you, I now...

I love my NV680UKT, so versatile and manoeuvrable. I had my Sebo X4 Pet for sale on eBay within 2 days of bringing my Shark home. By the time the auction for my Sebo ended I couldn't wait to see the back of it. I don't think my Shark would have out lived my Sebo, but I'm not the sort of person...

Well, 12 months later, I still haven't bonded with my X4 Pet. I did list it on eBay twice, but it didn't sell at what I wanted for it so it went back in the box (where it still is). I did use it occasionally, more for a bit of vacuuming variety than anything else, but always much preferred to...

Handheld Can't remember all the details but the plate on the bottom of the handheld did say made in Switzerland, not in bad nick, brush roller really clean but the cloth bag was tired. The Senso is working, I'll call back tomorrow and give it a whirl and if all OK it'll be going on eBay once...

Other Handheld.

Spotted these two today, worth an investment? The Sensotronic has tools and spare bags.
