I hate housework, I have to admit but my new Sebo has been the best vacuum cleaner I have ever bought.
Having two dogs and four cats means the carpets get, er, matted, which is why the Sebo Felix Pet was such a great choice. The attachment head for stairs and pet hairs actually works, unlike those on previous cleaners which clog up and leave the brush unable to rotate. Even though the cable is shorter than I am used to and I have to stop half way down the stairs, carry the Sebo down and then start again from the bottom, it is still quicker and more efficient than previous rivals.
Its black and silver colour and racing car styling appeal to my 16 year-old son, who now quite often takes it upon himself to clean the living room carpet. Admittedly, it was he who dropped my now deceased old pet vac down the stairs within weeks of purchase. It spent virtually the entirety of its short life stuck together with brown parcel tape. It was after he accidentally threw away the cyclone filter that it sucked its last.
The great edge cleaning means it is not always necessary to use the crevice tool to clean along the skirting board. The head swivels to make cleaning around furniture really quick and easy but it has to be tried to be fully appreciated and the removable bags last for ages. I was very sceptical when the shop assistants told me this because the replacements are quite costly. However, even with as many furry friends as we have, the bag has only been replaced twice and I suspect the second time was my son's overkeeness.
My Sebo came with a detachable head for hard floors and a box of powder carpet stain remover. The only downside to this fabulous piece of German engineering is the lack of either onboard storage space for the additional heads or something to put them in.
Although it is more expensive than others on the market, it is lighter, more efficient, takes up less space and is wonderful to use. The side carrying handle makes it easy to take upstairs so, hopefully, my new Sebo Felix Pet won't suffer the fate of the last vacuum cleaner.
