The Felix is fine on cleaning hard floors using the deluxe parquet floor tool. If you see my reply# 14 and reply# 41 if you remove the front brush strip of this floor tool it will pickup larger debris ok, I've tried it myself. It's a tip a got from a You Tube video, will try and find it and post it.

The Dyson DC41 MK2 looks a very impressive vacuum cleaner. Not sure if I could go back to bagless now that I own a pet.
 
Well I suppose one has to remember that everyone's opinion is different. And ownership costs can vary too. Oli, the Dyson is hardly cheap compared to the £219 Felix and even if the built in hose is short, at least it can go hand held and offers a different design to the Dyson.

Dusting brushes on vacuums are all the same IMHO - they are either good at what they do but still need periodic cleaning and then there are some absolutely dreadful brushes that wear down too quickly. I adore the Miele dusting brush that you get as standard but even the standard one AND their premium one that acts as a cost option "larger brush" clogs with dust.

What a lot of owners realise with ownership of both the SEBO X1.1 and SEBO Felix is that they don't really require a dusting brush - the far simpler T shaped upholstery tool seems to be able to justify both the usage of a dusting tool and an upholstery tool.
 
I dont want to buy a new vacuum, but I want to be able to use one of the sebos. However the 46" head is too big. So I am going to buy the new 36" head today. I am assuming they are interchangeable between the two as the main cleaning body is the same size.

£120 do you think this is reasonable? I then have one for spare parts and could sell the 46" head?
 
That's very true....I meant to say on my last thread different vacuum cleaners suit different users/owners needs and what suits one will not someone else.

I believe the heads are interchangeable on the BS as the main body is same size. Price for the new head seems reasonable.
 
The jammed and seized power head, it had some sort of crystallisation at the end caps where the bearings for the brushroll are. I think it's been stood in cleaning solution from the cleaners cupboard. It certainly wasn't save able. As the pcb and motor were wet and did not work.

Yes I love the manual height adjust. Only need an upholstery tool. Really good machine and nice to use. Dc07 upstairs. The dc01 was too short so being 6ft2 the exhaust was pointing towards the floor and just blew dirt around.
 
Very nice SEBO BS, BS36. Is that with the new head you ordered from SEBO UK? Is the manual height adjustment work ok? Similar to the Felix manual height adjuster.
 
There's something wrong with that Sebo, it wouldn't leave a bin of crap if it was functioning properly!

That brush certainly looks fried, but I doubt it's cleaning solution to blame, who leaves a vacuum in 4 inches of cleaner?

I think it is cleaning solution. In the cleaning cupboard there is a sink. I think the floor has got wet from the sink being used to fill buckets and stuff. It then means the cleaner head is standing in it. Whilst not deep water and metal do not mix.
