Sorry Ryan meant to say manual, not brochure!

Great video of the SEBO X4 and the Hoover Slalom! I know which one I've choose and own!

SEBO Felix Vs Vax VCU02. I was quite surprised at this one as the Vax doesn't appear to vibrate the rice.

Great videos of the Felix and K1/K3 against the VAX and Miele respectively. Although I'm not one for canisters/cylinder I do like the K and D series SEBO's. Loved the power and suction on the Felix ET-1 power head and the agitation.

'Not enough airflow to clean carpets'

I would beg to differ. I went round with my S7 on Eco mode, thinking the carpet was clean. Put a piece of kitchen cloth over the hose of the Sebo and tried that. A few times the blockage light came on, the cloth was thick with dust.

No offence to the Miele, I guess it wasn't on full

Slightly off topic - but what gets me about SEBO being semi-commercial, semi-domestic and Miele's S7 being a luxury, premium domestic product is the simple fact that Hoover Europe and Electrolux should be able to offer something that is just as modern. I wish Hoover & Electrolux could launch a bagged upright that has the same features of its Slalom, Globe or Turbo Power/Nimble/brush roll on/off, long hose, quality attachments. It wouldn't cost that much.

Yes sebo_fan so do I, but we know who we have to thank for this sorry state of affairs that the only bagged upright Hoover offer now is the 16 year old Purepower.


The UK is now bagless mad all because of 1 man - a certain Sir James Dyson.

Well not quite. If Miele can design a proper upright vacuum cleaner with a bag, what's stopping Hoover? Nowt as far as I can see other than greed and producing cheaper Chinese built vacuums.

Interesting reading through this thread, but I have to point out a couple of things.

70 inches of water lift is the industry average for suction. On sebo UK's website, they do not state air watts or water lift, but the D4 premium I had had incredible suction as did the felix. The felix was slightly down vs the d4 but by the narrowest of margins, and considering the air has to travel less distance on the felix versus the d4, I think they are both pretty much neck and neck in dirt pick up.

The felix is by far the deepest cleaning vacuum I have owned, and that includes me having an s7. The felix being the only cleaner i have had that picks up my thick heavy wool carpets I have in my hall way and living room.

In all my bedrooms, I have low pile carpeting and I have to turn down the suction on the felix to about half point because anything more than that, it slows down the head and it thinks something is jamming it, although you can keep full suction and set the brush height higher, I prefer setting the suction lower.

Actually Ollie, SEBO's previous user manual and assembly pages clearly points out water lift data. The U.S manuals also had them in the early days. Showing older U.S data vs UK data now supplied:
