It is quiet, easy to push and cute! I can get around corners easily and being able to lay it flat really helps when vacuuming under a cabinet, etc. It's quick to take out the hose and vacuum off dust on shelves. It comes with a very good brush for hard floors as well.

I had been looking at the Sebo Felix for a long time. When I saw it at $599 with Amazon Premium, I couldn't resist the deal. After using it for 2 months, I must say I would not hesitate to buy it again at full price. LOVE IT!
The 15-inch head is perfect. It goes nicely around furniture legs and feels so light. I had many many vacuums but with the Felix I feel I finally found my soul mate (lol)

After a lot of research to find vacuum that I could use with COPD I determined that the SEBO FELIX was in a class by itself: a powerful, effective vacuum that is light weight. I was used to bagless, but it's worth the bother keeping bags on hand when they clean so well. My old Hoover windtunnel was spitting dust and God knows what right back into the air (could actually see it settle on hard floors) and the tools never seemed to have much power when attached to the hose; in addition, I had to empty the dirt container and try to clean out the filter by taking it outside and beating it on the fence after each use, probably inhaling some nasty stuff. Vacuuming has been one of my most dreaded tasks because I had to take several breaks when vacuuming just one room so I could catch my breath. The Sebo Felix not only does a superior job cleaning, it is much less exhausting for me to use. The telescoping handle allows me to adjust it lower, which also helps.

I first looked at the Dyson Ball Animal, but eliminated it immediately when I tried one: it looks like really cheap plastic for an expensive machine and apparently has repair issues, plus it is still pretty heavy and hard to push. The Meile and Simplicity vacs review as great vacs, and likely as good as the Sebo Felix, but neither has a light weight model with this much power.

So now I have a vacuum which is much easier to use AND does an awesome job. I read so many review that said Bag vacuums did a better job cleaning the air and now I believe it. I have a feeling that regular use with the Felix will cut down on dust in the air and all over my house. It may be coincidental, but it seems I'm already breathing better after just vacuuming the family room where we spend most of the time.

The only attachment I purchased for my Felix is the handheld Turbo head. I have two Himalayans and this attachment finally lets me clean upholstery that I could never get clean before; it is just awesome. It also works for vacuuming carpet behind the stretchers on antique furniture. Well worth another fifty bucks! My dealer says many people use this for their cars. BTW, I discovered that the tubes and dusting brush from my old Hoover actually fit on the hose of the Felix, so I kept those since they aren't included.

I was fortunate to find a Sebo dealer about 40 miles away so I could try out the Felix, which I did on their showroom floor. Turns out that the Felix has so much power that it kind of pulls itself along on low carpet. This is a little like self propelled...just another plus for me and my breathing problems. And guess what the dealer uses in their own home...a Felix 2 with the 15" head. I already figured the fewer swipes the faster vacuuming would be done. The 15" power head actually has a little more power than the standard 12" to compensate.

Bottom line. If you have COPD or other exertion problems, try the Sebo Felix if you can. Only you can tell if the Felix makes a difference for you. For me, it's a game changer. Maybe someday, one of the good companies will make a vacuum that works like a walker or a shopping cart, but until then I'm keeping my Felix.

I've had this vacuum for 2 years now, and it's the best investment I've ever made. I have carpet and hardwood in my house; the vacuum heads switch easy to transition from one to the other. They both do a GREAT job. Has not lost suction at all over time. Extremely agile and lightweight, with a nice handle for carrying up the stairs. Fantastic for pet hair; I have 3 cats and a dog, no hair problems in my house. The only possible con would be that it falls over easily if you're not careful to snap it upright (generally no big deal). Worth every penny.
