Felix 1 Premium
The SEBO Felix is a commercial-grade upright vacuum disguised as a consumer model, offering unparalleled durability and a modular design that allows for easy repair. It features S-Class hospital-grade filtration and a motor designed to last 15-20 years, making its total cost of ownership significantly lower than 'disposable' competitors.
Quality & Materials
Features high-grade ABS plastics, a bypass motor that prevents damage from debris, and a gear-driven timing belt that rarely fails. The brush roll can be removed for cleaning without tools.
Evidence & Testing
Meets S-Class filtration standards (99.9% effectiveness to 0.3 microns). Consistently rated as the most reliable brand by independent vacuum repair technicians.
Brand Transparency
SEBO provides detailed technical specifications and makes every single replacement part available to the public via official schematics.
Value Assessment
At roughly $700, it costs more than a Shark, but because it lasts 3-4x longer and is fully repairable, the cost per year is approximately $35-$45.
Why Not Alternatives?
Unlike Dyson or Shark, SEBO uses heavy-duty components and provides full access to internal parts and exploded-view diagrams for DIY repairs. While Miele is comparable in quality, the Felix offers a more versatile 'swivel neck' and a detachable suction unit that converts into a handheld canister.
