SEBO FELIX Premium Upright Vacuum with ET-1 Power Head and Parquet Brush, Onyx Black

Onyx is SEBO's name for the black FELIX Premium, and like every FELIX it is delivered with two floor tools rather than one: the ET-1 power head for carpet and a parquet brush for hard floors. Part number 9807AM covers this finish.

Order the Onyx FELIX and two boxes of 7029AM come with it, the FELIX and DART bag, sixteen with caps. A FELIX tends to become the machine grabbed for a quick pass rather than a scheduled clean, and that habit gets through bags steadily, so a stock in the cupboard saves the reorder.

• Included: two SEBO 7029AM bag boxes, sixteen capped bags for the FELIX Premium

Where the FELIX earns its keep is maneuverability. The body is slim and it pivots, so it tracks around table legs instead of shouldering them aside, and it lies back far enough to run under a bed frame or a low sofa where a full-size upright stops at the edge and gives up. Swapping the ET-1 for the parquet brush takes a moment when you reach wood or tile, and it is worth the moment: the parquet brush lays soft bristles on a surface that a driven roller would only push grit across.

The ET-1 carries its own motor to turn the brush roller, which leaves the suction motor free to do nothing but move air. Collection is by disposable bag, so the fine material a brush roll pulls out of a carpet is sealed in and stays sealed at disposal. SEBO builds the FELIX in Germany and lists its service parts individually, which is what keeps one of these running well past the point where a sealed-unit machine would have been carried to the curb. The same model is offered in White as 9808AM, Rosso red as 9809AM and Indigo dark blue as 90814AM. Ours is authorized SEBO dealer stock, and we extend the factory warranty at our own cost to 10 years on the motor, 10 years on parts and 7 years of labor.
