Sebo Felix brochure and manual scans

[vacuumlover]

@parwaz786

Lol. To be honest I like reading the manuals.

I like reading manuals as well. You will always finds tips and tricks on how to use the product, like my new Bosch washing machine. If I hadn't have read the manuals, I wouldn't have known I could changed the volume of the beeps and change the default settings on each program. Sounds silly but it is the little things.

The Felix is a fantastic cleaner, pretty much what anyone would want from a cleaner. Other than a short hose (which you can buy an extension for anyway) it is pretty much bang on in terms of everything else, from build quality to performance.

Further to Oli's post, as well as being a top performer, it's one of the most versatile vacuums you can buy. It goes for handheld, to straight suction, to full upright with power nozzle very easily. You can literally vacuum anything with it.

IM puzzled as to why scans of the user manual are essential given that they can be downloaded straight from the SEBO Germany site (and selecting English)? Not much has changed there, I can assure you.

The brochure scan is nice though. I have a ton of the brochures and the one you have shown, Emma indicates the old "Classic" model that is no longer available. A bit like "Burberry" though I was never one for that particular check design. Liked the cream and brown finish though, which is slightly darker than the "Vogue" that replaces it. Also the "Fun" model is a bit of a rare model, now, too.

I adore my Felix but like every vacuum cleaner, it isn't perfect. I would never class it as lightweight unless the ET-1 is swapped around for the suction floor heads or Parquet floor tool - and it is far too big to go hand held.

Interestingly I discovered I could go "hand held" with my SEBO 360 the other day. Just as difficult but possible.

@sebo_fan

I thought I might as well stick the manual scans on for the sake of it.

To be honest, it wouldn't bother me if it wasn't lite weight. I quite like vacs that have quite a bit of weight to them.

 

[sebo_fan]

Have you tried a Felix, Emma?

 

[vacuumlover]

Never. Iv'e never even used a Sebo. I would jump at the opportunity though.

Hi,

Thanks for the brochures and instruction leaflets. These I believe are old versions. Sebo Felix manuals are larger in size and the brochure has been updated a few times to include details of the Ultra Bags.

I assume you have seen the latest 2015 brochure which is basically just a catalogue with details of all machines and no details of the technology behind the machines which is a shame as I think the 'older' brochures really went into a lot of detail. The 2015 has a black Felix Pet with a cat next to it and a lady's trousers behind.

Thanks again

@blakaeg

This is the only brochure I've looked at.

Also ~ No problem.

Hi there,

Here is a 2015 Felix specs page for you.

[blakaeg]

Or maybe not. It seems I'm having a technical issue. I do apologise.

Get yourself along to Euronics or John Lewis stores - you should be able to find a Felix there to play with.

@blakaeg @sebo_fan

@blakaeg ~ Lol, email them to me if you want.

@sebo_fan ~ I'll have to.

Great thread Emma/vacuumlover. I brought my SEBO Felix 8 years ago from new (Classic model) and love it. It was a choice between the Felix or the X4 but I went with the Felix! It's been one of the best vacuums I've owned (along with my Vorwerk). It's the vacuum cleaner that got me back into bagged vacuums as I was a big fan of bagless. It's still performs like the day I brought it.

Here's a picture of mine (excuse the Christmas decorations in the picture!) taken a while ago.

I love how the bags filled to the top, they are like a brick when full!

Like sebo_fan says go and try a SEBO out see what you think.

 

[madaboutsebo]

Picture of one of the synthetic bags full!

 

[vacuumlover]

@madaboutsebo

Just call me Emma. I don't mind.

Thank you for the pictures.

Even though I haven't ever touched one I still would love to get one,one day.

In terms of modern machines, I don't think you can go wrong with Sebo's. They're so solid and reliable - certainly more so than anything else on the market at the moment with the exception of Kirby's, but then again, the Kirby's are 8 times more expensive. Sebo have also been known to last as long, if not longer, than Kirby's. There are still Sebo 350's from 1978/79 still in use and X1's from 1991.

 

[sebo_fan]

Since buying my SM2, my old 360 seems redundant. I know a shop owner who is keen to grab it for a cheap price but I ain't selling it. I still love using it from time to time.

 

[vacuumlover]

I'll have to get one sometime.

Sebo

My ex partner still has his Sebo which he bought in 1997. Looks a little outdated but has never broken down once.

My partner bought me a Miele upright vacuum when they first came out. The first one we had to take back because it was faulty, and the second one fell apart. The bag full indicator kept on falling out, and other minor niggles.

I do have an x4 in the loft. I find Sebo to be very well made.

Cheers.
