Congrats on your new Felix!!
I have a Felix myself, it was a Christmas present from Robert a few years ago. I got the red one. I know that there are some pretty varied opinions on the Felix, I personally think it's a good machine, but I am disappointed with its build quaity. It's also a bit on the pricey side - but when compared to a Dyson, I feel it's probably comparable (for the price). The handle is wobbly, and it just feels cheaply made. I think it is an excellent cleaner, and I do use it often - but I wish that it had the build quality/fit and finish of a Miele. That's what I was expecting when I opened the box, and it was clear from that point on that it was not on par with Miele.
The machine also gave off a "new motor smell" for a really long time, which I didn't particularly care for, so I finally put an air freshener tablet in the bag, which helped. It does run really hot, too, which I have noticed. I do love how light weight it is, and how quiet it is. The power nozzle really does a good job grooming the carpets. I also like the bare floor tool that came with it - although I took the front brush strip out, and it seems to now draw the dirt in, instead of getting stuck to the bristles. The attachments are nothing spectacular, I don't store them on the cleaner - I didn't attach the little holder thingy.
