SEBO Felix Premium Upright Vacuum with ET‑1 Powerhead

Three things set the Felix apart from an ordinary upright. It steers: the head swivels through 180 degrees, so you can curve around chair legs instead of backing out and re-aiming. It comes apart: the suction unit lifts off the head and works as a handheld. And it stops its own brush: the roller shuts off when you pull the hose or lock the handle upright, so hose work does not chew your carpet. It comes in White, Red and Blue.

Mixed floors are its home turf

The ET-1 head agitates carpet and has four manual height settings. For hardwood, tile and vinyl, fit the parquet brush that comes in the box. A green button on the head also switches the roller off by hand, which is what delicate rugs and bare floors want. Pet owners get one more point in its favor: the roller lifts out without tools, so tangled hair is a quick clear-out rather than a repair.

Suction is adjustable at the handle, from curtains to carpet, and the handle itself has three height positions. A soft start brings the motor up gradually. A 6-inch profile helps it get under furniture.

Felix, Dart or a canister?

The Dart keeps the same head but drops the steering, variable suction, adjustable handle and parquet brush. If stairs are the main trouble and you prefer a long hose, the E3 is the other route. Choose the Felix if you want one machine that behaves like both.

What comes with it

• Upright suction unit, detachable ET-1 electric floorhead and integrated hose
• Crevice nozzle and dusting brush, the two onboard tools
• Separate hard-floor parquet brush
• Bag, pre-motor filter and patterned S-class exhaust filter, already installed

No wand is included. A 22-inch wand and a nine-foot extension hose are optional; together with the built-in hose they make a 15-foot reach for stairs.

Specifications

Bags, filters and the orange window

An orange window on the bag-housing lid is the Felix’s full-bag signal, and it also shows for a clog or a dirty microfilter, so fine dust can trigger it early. Order 7029AM bags, along with the 7012AM pre-motor filter and the 7095AM-series exhaust filter when they are due. The patterned exhaust wrap is a working filter; match it to your model. SEBO lists no HEPA option for Felix. Bags are single-use, filters are never washed, and you unplug before clearing the roller.

Carrying and storage

The detached unit has a side handle for carrying. Do not assume it stands steadily without its head, and try lifting the 15.4 lb machine in the configuration you will carry.

Warranty

Your Felix carries SEBO’s household warranty bonus once you register it under our dealer code: 10 years on motors, 10 years on non-wear parts, 7 years on labor, compared with 7 years on motors and 5 on non-wear parts and labor in SEBO’s standard terms. Put the Felix receipt and certificate in the same drawer. Wear items, routine maintenance and commercial use are left out of the Felix coverage.
