The Sebo Felix is a really natty little vac - I watched Roger (ibaisaic) do a demo of one on youtube and was smitten. I had already seen the Felix in other posts on VL and was intrigued by its clever design, and its ability to completely convert to a handheld vac, and its ability to be able to switch the brushroll on and off. Its a very good modular vac and very versatile, and also has variable power. Whilst I didn't like the design at first, the more I see them and see how well designed and practical they are the more they grow on me. I would go so far as to recommend one to my parents as they are quite light too, although not ultra light due to the high quality. The one downside with the Felix though is it has no automatic height adjust, and if it had this, it would make it just perfect.
The Felix is a very understated vac and really it should get more acclaim than it does, and be marketed more at the domestic market. Currys stopped selling them unfortunately and I think that this was down to poor salesmanship with lack of desire from the sales team to promote the Felix's attributes.
At the end of the day, Felix models always sell well on Ebay so I cant see why they were so unpopular at Currys to merit discontinuation.
I will get a Felix one day - but am prepared to wait till the right moment comes to buy one - as I did with my X4.
