SEmigewerbliche BOdenpflege Felix Vogue ECO!

[super-sweeper]

You're lucky you said the Sebo was your FAVOURITE bagged vacuum, if you said it was the BEST bagged vacuum, you would've just launched Kirby War III! 

 


You've made a great purchase! You got something better than a Dyson at a fraction of the price! 

 


Ok, seriously, jokes over! Congratulations on your purchase! What's that white tool in photo #2? Never seen it before! 

 

[sebo_fan]

There are others too, quite literally another two of them from Vax claiming to have "A" performance for carpets, yet both have straight suction floor tools and no turbo brush.

 

[marcusprit]

Not by a huge amount I'd say about 5 to 10% more dust and dirt pick up.

 

[sebo_fan]

Are you referring to the tool holder? It requires to be put across the metal spine of the handle neck of the Felix where two tools can be stored top and bottom. Also slides down for height. I put one on my 360 since that commercial model only usually has one clip at the front.

 

[marcusprit]

Haha an A rating with a straight suction nozzle snd Miele has a D rating. Wow that Vax sucks!!!! Hilarious ))

 

[super-sweeper]

I guess I am,I certainly don't know what the thing is! It's that white thingy in the 2nd photo in Oli's first post! Would you like me to point out which Dyson model this brushroll goes with, too? 

 


Those Vax machines certainly don't get an A for design in my book! 

 

[sebo_fan]

Well, the "thing" is a tool holder - big round barrel clips together designed to hold one tool on top, another on the bottom. Simples!

If only SEBO could do a bigger one of the X model!

 

[super-sweeper]

Thank you! Feel free to ask me if you need to know what any of these do! 

 

[marcusprit]

BTW I thought it was the manufacturer that did the testing for the new rating? So surely the manufacturer would know how to set the correct height for the Felix?

 

[sebo_fan]

Im not sure. Best to email SEBO UK if you really want to know.

 

[marcusprit]

I don't really want to know. I won't mention Dyson anymore. I know what works best for me it's all about personal preference
My preference is now Dyson.))))

 

[turbo500]

My preference is now Dyson.))))

I find that a bit ridiculous. You've found ONE Dyson vacuum after years of admittedly mediocre machines. Fair enough if you're preference is that particular model, but what about the 21 years of Dyson vacuums previously that were all a bit crap, and the rest of the Dyson vacuums still on the market?

 

[oliveoiltinfoil]

I need to clear up a few points made here.

I asked the Sebo lady and she said the tests at the moment are down to the manufacture. This is very unreliable as each manufacture is going to use different carpets. There is no say in how slowly or quickly the vacuums should be passing over, but she said she has seen a glimpse of how sebo test them and they throw their vacuums in at the deep end as it were and especially for hard flooring, they cover the floor with a grey mix of powder and crumbs, like a very thick amount. All in all it is very unreliable.

In fairness, when I had my s7 and Felix, as the bag filled it can loose suction but as mentioned, the difference is negligible.

The sebo and Dyson are very much on par in terms of carpet performance. I would say the sebo deep cleans better. The bristles on the Dyson dig deep kind of but the sebo pulls itself forward and really grooms the carpet. The Dyson cleans hard flooring better, but you get the kombi tool with the Felix which I will post a picture if later.

The Dyson looks as if it pulls up a lot of dust although I don't really know how much the sebo pulls up as you cant really see in the bag without tearing the bag open.

I have always loved the Felix as a bagged vacuum and for the reasons I have mentioned, I am preferring it as my daily vacuum. Its an improved version of the standard Felix.

 

[dys0nb0y]

The other dyson machines on the market today are fantastic They have very little differences.

 

[marcusprit]

Haha I really don't care about previous Dysons. What's past is past.It's the present that counts. Anyway I don't want to talk about it anymore.

Happy vacuuming

 

[matt8808]

Well everything else aside thanks for uploading the pic of inside the floor head!
Very interesting to see given its the same head thats on my D4 (I don't want to go pulling mine to bits)...

That motor looks a beast! Makes Dysons brush motors look like kids toys.

Oh and I also noticed the suction motor on the D4 eco has a kind of airflow wooshng whistle to it as it starts up / slows down like you mentioned on your Felix.

Enjoy your new machine

 

[turbo500]

Anyway I don't want to talk about it anymore

...alright then. We'll just carry on without you...

Oli, you should vacuum the whole house with the Dyson and the suck up the contents of the full bin with the Sebo hose and then have a nosey inside the bag. The white, high efficiency bags are quite easy to see in. That should give you some kind of idea as to what a fill bin of dust actually looks like when it's compacted into a bag

 

[matt8808]

A full Dyson bin of fluff would probably compact inside the bag to the size of an egg cup! Okay... Bit of an exageration but you get my drift right?

 

[super-sweeper]

Oh, another question, what is a semigewerbliche bodenpflege? 

 

[turbo500]

semigewerbliche bodenpflege

It's what "Sebo" means. It translated as "semi-commercial floorcare" from German.
