Shocked! The Dyson V10 Beat the Sebo Felix 1 with Embedded Sand on Carpet

I honestly was not expecting this but the Dyson V10 had a perfect score in the agitation test I just got done with. I based the test off the Consumer Reports tests and I was really careful with keeping everything reproducible. What do you think?

wow.... interesting test as well. wow.

What I think? I mean it's nice if you have a couple of area rugs, but you can't do an entire house with a Dyson stick. The battery lasts what, 7 minutes on maximum?

Good point Huskyvacs!

I agree with Huskyvacs. Not only would you get only 7 minutes of cleaning from the Dyson V10, but you did the test on the Max power setting. That is impressive you got 100% of the dirt on Max power setting, but would be MUCH MORE impressive if you got 100% of the dirt on it's Medium power setting & had much longer runtime. 4% difference between the Sebo Felix & Dyson V10 isn't that big of a difference. Plus, if you tried cleaning a large house, like a 3 bedroom 2 story home with the Dyson V10, you would be constantly having to stop & empty the dirt bin. I would much rather take the Sebo Felix anyday.

I agree with everybody we just want to see more sebo Felix.

Sebo Felix and the Dyson V10 are totally different. Felix is originally meant just for the commercial use, but they brought it to the normal consumers with a success. It's very solid made vacuum designed to work long days day after day unlike the V10.
V10 is just a stick vacuum and how long the batteries hold up after years of use is still a big question. Biggest concern is the run time. 7 minutes is just way too short and combined with the narrow cleaning head it's just not going to work for the average size US homes. Not even for the EU homes.
Build quality of the V10 is also much less than the Sebo Felix.
So overall Sebo Felix is much better vacuum. I personally also have the Felix and if I compare the build quality to my Dyson DC40 mkII, Sebo is like a night and day compared to the Dyson build quality. It's like night and day.
I am confident that overall cleaning performance of the Felix is better with a lot more mixed cleaning situations. It has unlimited run time unlike the V10 where owners are forced to use lower power settings to get the job done.
