BRING A CLEANING PROFESSIONAL INTO YOUR HOME: SEBO FELIX
Pure Performance
A history that kicks up dust. About 80 years after the first vacuum cleaner patent was issued, two engineers were persuaded to reinvent the vacuum cleaner. With skills both in theory and hands-on work, these gentlemen founded Stein & Co. GmbH in Velbert, Germany and, in 1978, developed the SEBO 350. This vacuum cleaner was designed to pass the hardest test: to facilitate the work of cleaning professionals. Due to the patented technical innovations that allowed effective cleaning of all kinds of carpet and the ability to clean the tightest corners, this first model immediately
impressed the demanding cleaning personnel of hotels, hospitals and offices. With the addition of unique features such as an integrated (or on-board) hose, a clutch-protected brush roller and a by-pass motor, the first SEBO caused quite a sensation.
Today, with over 3,000,000 upright vacuum cleaners sold, SEBO is the global leader in commercial upright vacuum cleaners; and all SEBO machines are still designed and produced in Velbert. This is why famous carpet producers world-wide recommend SEBO vacuum cleaners for daily cleaning in order to maintain the quality and value of the carpet.
Now you too can have SEBO's professional expertise and unique design features in your household. Get to know the SEBO FELIX in three different equipment packages and designs: CLASSIC, FUN, and ICE BLUE.

Cable hook – just let it go
The cable is available immediately, as soon as you turn the cable hook. You don't have to waste time unwinding the cable for more length and with 32 feet of cable, you don't have to stop working to find another outlet.
Tel escopic handle* – short or long
If you are still growing, the SEBO FELIX will grow with you. Just a simple click and the telescopic tube fits to every body-height in an ergonomic manner. Set the handle tube in the correct position with just a lift of the latch.
* depending on the model
Variable power controls* ­select the amount of vacuum power you need
Dirt can be the ground-in kind in your carpet, or a light dusting on surfaces. The SEBO FELIX adapts to the level of cleaning needed with adjustable power control. You can choose how aggressively to clean the carpets or how gently you want to treat your upholstery.
Turning swivel neck ­on-hand maneuverability
The SEBO FELIX is an acrobat. While going up to 90° vertical and 180° horizontal, and everywhere in between, the FELIX's adjustable turning swivel neck also allows audacious maneuverability, allowing you to clean in areas that were previously inaccessible.
Keeping a low profile - lithe and nimble
Some vacuum cleaners get in their own way. Therefore, the SEBO FELIX has been reduced to a height of less than 6 inches. With a vacuum this flat and flexible, you can reach underneath the bed and other furniture.
Carrying handle - feels right in either hand
Big and small, left and right hands can grip this ergonomically shaped handle the same firm way. While vacuuming with the integrated hose handle, you can easily switch the SEBO FELIX to your other hand. And at less than 10 lbs, the FELIX is comfortable either way**.
** The SEBO dusting brush pictured is available as an optional attachment.

Hose handle – always ready
The integrated hose handle is always ready. Just pull it out and use it to clean hard-to-reach corners, edges and crevices. It is ideal for cleaning stairs. For special tasks, attach other optional SEBO attachments (shown on page 7) to the hose handle**.
** The SEBO dusting brush pictured is available as an optional attachment.
Slide stopper - a fixed point
While parked upright, either at the end of a task or while working without a power head, the rubber slide stopper stabilizes the FELIX and protects your walls.
Automatic positioning of the filter bag - dirt is locked in.
It is impossible to install the filter bag in the SEBO FELIX incorrectly. The filter bag stands upright and automatically finds the correct position with the closing of the lid. Properly positioned bags mean a sealed system, thereby ensuring the dirt is locked in where it can be safely and easily removed.
Exhaust filter - Design and functionality in one
Behind the stylish surface hides the most modern filtration system: The S-class filtration system from SEBO provides 99.9% filtration of particulates down to 0.3 microns. The large surface area of the exhaust filter distributes and diffuses the air stream and absorbs the noise of the engine, resulting in extremely quiet operation.
Brush Roller - exchanges in the blink of an eye
No need to find the toolbox - fast and easy removal of the brush roller makes it convenient to clean or change worn out brushes.

FILTRATION
FILTRATION - the air is clean
Not only have vacuum cleaners changed with the times, but dust has as well. It has become finer and many people have developed allergic reactions to it. The SEBO FELIX is equipped with an S-Class (hospital-grade), 3-step filtration system that results in 99.9% effectiveness to 0.3 microns*, making it the perfect choice for customers with allergies and asthma.
Verified Filtration Quality
The three filtration steps ensure that fine dust particles stay in the sealed system of the SEBO FELIX.
The 3-step filtration system:
(A) First, the three-layer, full-size filter bag collects the vast majority of the debris. The filter bag fills from the top, so the dust settles on the bottom instead of swirling around in the air.
(B) Then, any remaining large particles are collected by the motor protection filter, which is positioned underneath the filter bag.
(C) Finally, the electrostatic exhaust filter thoroughly cleans the air that the vacuum emits. With 250 square inches of surface, the exhaust filter absorbs even the smallest particles.
*Measurement SLG/Chemnitz SEBO uses only fiberglass-free filters.
The FELIX filter bag – a tight catch
The multi-layered FELIX filter bag is the first stage of a high efficiency micro­filtration system. Its high quality filtration material has proven its value over many years in hospitals, hotels and office build­ings as well as in homes like yours. The air suction stays consistent as long as there is room in the filter bag. And there is a lot of room: 3.5 litres! The built in hygiene lid makes sure that no dust gets out while you exchange the filter bags. The motor and exhaust filters are easy to change.
Unlike usual filtration systems, the micro-filtration of the SEBO FELIX doesn't work exclusively through physical barriers but instead incorporates the principle of electrostatics. Two single charged microfibers capture the reversed charged dust particles as it travels into the filter medium. This allows an open filter structure that helps maintain the air flow while reducing the risk of blockages. The result is a much finer filtration and a most consistent cleaning effectiveness.
Exhaust filter - nice and clean
The exhaust filter combines its very special function with stylish good looks. The durable fabric is available in three different designs choose from: CLASSIC, FUN, and ICE BLUE.

Power heads and floor tools - For great cleaning results
The SEBO FELIX can be equipped for any kind of flooring. Whether you have carpet or hard floors, there is a power head or floor tool that will be suitable for your flooring.
SEBO ET Every home’s flooring has highs and lows. With the ET’s four-level manual height-adjustment, you can adjust up or down to clean any level of carpet or hard floors. The ET power head brush action aggressively cleans carpeting. For hard floors and extremely gentle rugs, you can turn the brush roller off by pressing the power switch/indicator on the top of the head.
Remove, clean or change the brush roller with the press of a button. Clogs in the power head can be conveniently cleared through the access door underneath the head. The electronic carpet brush switches off automatically if there is a brush roller jam.
The SEBO ET is available in two sizes to fit your needs: the ET1 and ET2 have widths of 12 inches and 15 inches, respectively (the ET2 is only available for the ICE BLUE model).
Optional attachments
With the long and narrow shaped SEBO crevice nozzle, you can clean areas that are hard to reach, such as the deep spaces between car seats.
Use the SEBO upholstery nozzle* for all upholstery with smooth fabric.

SEBO FELIX PARQUET BRUSH SEBO developed this tool especially for parquet floors. It cleans sensitive, smooth hard floors almost without touching them. The straight and curved rows of the natural bristles channel the air flow and provide excellent edge cleaning. Flexible bristles clean uneven surfaces (such as crevices) efficiently, and the bristle rows are easily removable for cleaning or replacement. The double-bearing and elastic castors are encapsulated to ensure smooth and gentle rolling over your floors.
The SEBO FELIX parquet brush was designed for heavy-duty use with a turning swivel neck that lets you steer your FELIX around obstacles and allows for use of the FELIX in a variety of work­ing positions, all the way down to a 180˚ flat-to-the-floor position. This exceptional maneuverability and reach is perfect for cleaning underneath beds and furniture.
The long, soft bristles of the SEBO dusting brush gently clean sensitive objects like books, ceramics and picture frames.
With its air-flow-powered brush roller, the SEBO PT-C Turbo Brush, is perfect for cleaning upholstery, mattresses, car interiors, or carpeted stairs. It even removes persistent lint, fluff and pet hair.
