Sebo Felix - Red Carpet Cleaning!

Advantages: Lays flat, light weight, powerful, attractive, changable heads, good reach
Disadvantages: Sometimes falls over if not clicked into head properly

...This is surely the greatest home vacuum cleaner around! It was recommended to me by local shop who told me that they had been given one as a demo and had thrown away their commerial cleaner! The head is removable so that you may hoover the stairs less its weight. The nozzle has a long range and a carpet attatchment which is ideal for carpeted stairs. I am able to vacuum under all of my setees due to the excellent "lay-flat" nature of the Sebo. On turning the vacuum cleaner on it automatically pulls away itself...this makes for amazing cleaning of the carpets (makes hoovering so much easier too!!) You are able to turn this feature off when vacuuming rugs etc which may get caught up in the mechanism. There is also a parquet flooring head, which is great on tiles, lino and wooden flooring. The bag is so easy to change (I have...

Review of Sebo Felix 9805 NAVY

Felix is Fabulous!

Advantages: Can be changed to hand held, quiet, powerful, great quality upright.
Disadvantages: Can topple over due to short hose, uses much healthier bags.

...on an economy drive at the moment both financially and environmentally we were stuck for choices since the market seems to be brimming with vacuum cleaners that have a high wattage of power to maintain suction and with Dyson and other bag-less brands left out of the equation, there are only a handful of brands left who offer dust bag collection and low power. After shopping around and visiting many high street shops such as Comet and Currys, it was at John Lewis that we got to test drive a couple of upright vacuums and had to either discount one thing or another to meet our requirements. One vacuum cleaner however stood out amongst all the rest that matched our needs; the Sebo Felix range. We did try the X4 and X1.1 but this is a larger upright that we felt would be too big for our flat. ** Why Felix? ** John Lewis had a very well stocked range...

Review of Sebo 9807 Felix PET

Felix the Vac

Advantages: Powerful, lightweight, easy to use, quiet
Disadvantages: None

...The Sebo Felix is available in two models with a choice of colour in the Premium line. The basic Felix comes in a white/ice blue combination with the Premium versions available in Navy, Classic (ivory/burgandy) and Fun (violet/orange) Premium Vs Standard The Premium versions offer extra features not found on the standard Felix which are worth the extra £20-£25 in my opinion. The Premium has an adjustable handle so you can adjust it if you're shorter and it makes it more compact when storing. It is also useful to be able to shorten the handle when using the Felix as a hand held machine. (more on that later) The Premium Felix also has an electronic speed control which is useful when cleaning lightweight rugs or delicate fabrics and it also comes with a parquet brush for cleaning hard floors and laminates. Setting up The Felix...

Review of Sebo Felix 9805 NAVY

Functional Felix

Advantages: Cheap, functional, and close to the city centre.
Disadvantages: Not for the person wanting luxury.

...For my second visit to Poland after Krakow last year we had the pleasure of staying in what I would conclude as another much underestimated hotel in Poland. Star ratings for hotels in Poland seem to be a far removed reflection of what we in Britain measure as a good hotel. The Felix hotel, rated as two stars on internet and relevant literature references such as the well known Expedia, is in my opinion as a quite experienced European city traveller, way above the standard of two stars for what we consider here. As a quick comparison we stayed in a three star hotel in Italy in the same week and that hotel did not compare at all with the Felix in any of the required formats for my own rating of hotels. The Felix was far superior. The Felix is not in the city centre but is close enough (ten minutes maximum by tram) to reach, and just...

Review of Felix Hotel, Warsaw

Felix Lickin's

Advantages: Truffle thinks Felix are the cats whiskers!
Disadvantages: Few flavours, and made by Nestl'e.

...My 10-month-old kitten, Truffle, is a really weird eater! She will not drink water unless it is from a running tap in the bath, she only eats the jelly out of her tins of food (and pesters us for it) and avoids all of the green bits in the dried food. She will eat anything off our plates though! From Chicken to carrot, from fish fingers to sprouts, she will even eat McDonald?s fries. Providing it looks like we want to eat it she nab it off us somehow, either with a quick flick of the paw or with her cute "you love me" eyes! Because of her fussy, "I wont eat it if you wont" attitude it has been difficult to find her any treats. She dislikes all of the whiskers varieties, especially the pockets that she even refuses to chase when they are rolled across the floor! Thanks to Felix Lickin's I have not had to resort to a bowl of cat treats...

Review of Felix

Felix cat treats

Advantages: The cat loves it and there are a choice of 6 flavours
Disadvantages: Humans have to clean up after the cat

...When our cat comes running around our feet we know he wants something. It is obviously a choice of two things. He wants us to open the back door to let him out to go and play or he wants feeding. Most of the time he wants feeding so he has a choice of two brands which we but for him. He gets a scoop of iams once a day but that is another story. Most of the time we feed him Felix which, he loves. His favourite is Felix with tuna. As soon as we open the pack he gets a hint of the smell and instantly becomes attached to our legs whilst we are trying to put the food in his dish. With the knife we try to use it just to push into his dish but at the same time the cat is using his head to nudge our hands out of the way so he can get stuck in. The pack is about the right size for the cat because he just manages to eat it all. The pack is...

Sebo Vaccum

Advantages: Great on pet hair
Disadvantages: Short hose

...After years of thinking that Dysons were the only vaccum cleaners to own I finally gave up on them & bought this Sebo and I haven't looked back since. Excellent on polypropane carpets if you own animals especially those that shed alot of hair. Easy to use if you are taller than average no bending backs and the bag is still not full after 2 months of daily cleaning after 2 boys, 2 medium dogs & 3 cats. Nice long lead so you dont have to keep unplugging it when you move about the house. The only thing I would suggest is purchasing the extension hose if you have stairs as the one supplied is a little short. I love this vaccum and I would never buy another dyson!! But I would buy another Sebo....

Review of Sebo X 1.1

Sebo x4Extra Vacuum cleaner, eats dust like no other...

Advantages: Robust, powerful, does the job, high quality
Disadvantages: heavier than others

...If you've ever stayed in a hotel you've probably noticed that the Sebo is the choice of housekeepers around the world. Why? because it does the job better than any other vacuum cleaner. These machines are powerful and get the job done. We used to have a Dyson, which bit the dust (pardon the pun), and this is when I chose the Sebo as a replacement. In my household its been determined that along with putting out the rubbish, vacuuming is a man's job?! Hence, I chose the vacuum cleaner and I chose a man's vacuum cleaner not one of these funky highly coloured lightweight cleaners which crack everytime you hit the skirting boards. The cable on a Sebo is longer than most others in my experience which means you haven't got to keep stopping and starting, saving you precious Match-of-the-day time. The machine automatically adjusts its height to...

Review of Sebo X4EXTRA

Sebo a reliable, efficient, clean machine.

Advantages: sturdy reliable efficient.
Disadvantages: none

...This Sebo upright vacuum cleaner was purchased because I was looking for an efficient easy to use cleaner that was good on carpets and that I could also use on the stairs and upholstery. The Sebo was recommended to me by the staff in the department store as being suitable for use in a household where some of the family have asthma. The cleaner has special filters that are more effective than standard and also has paper bag that is easy to change without the dust that it has collected becoming airborne in the trip to the dustbin. Emptying my previous bag less cylinder cleaner had left me covered in dust and often wheezing. This upright cleaner is so much easier to use than a cylinder cleaner, the only comparison I can make is it is like the difference between dragging a suitcase or using a wheeled case to take your luggage; as...

Review of Sebo X 1.1

Cats like Tifa like Felix

Advantages: Tifa loves it
Disadvantages: Expensive

...Felix ?as good as it looks? Kitten Food Pouches: My cat Tifa is not a year old yet so she is still eating kitten food, I have tried her on the adult stuff a few times but she won?t eat it. I am hoping at twelve months she will suddenly change her mind and eat the adult stuff but we will have to see. Anyway back to the point? Felix as good as it looks comes in pouches each one giving Tifa two meals. I think you are meant to feed up to four of these a day but I also feed Tifa dry cat biscuits or else she just cries for food all the time, so she has just two. The pouches come in a box which seems to be the standard for all pouch type cat food. It can be a pain to open the box on occasion and other times it opens with no problems at all. There are twelve pouches in the boxes I buy and they cost £4.41 at Tesco which is actually quite...
