anyone know the difference between the sebo dart and the sebo felix? other than the £70 price difference that is?  I've looked on the sebo website and can't work it out!

No difference ! Except colour. The Felix is the same spec as the Dart but much cheaper, however the Felix premium offers adjustable height handle, adjustable suction  & parquet brush for rec price of £229. I think the colour of the Dart gives it a commercial look.

The dart is the commercial vac and the Felix is the residential model.
The Felix is a similar vac to the dart 1,except it has  few more features such as speed control switch,adjustable handle and more accesories ( brushes,paraqat head etc)

Both a very good vac.
I have a couple of dart 2 that I have had for best part of 2 years and have tried or owned nearly every type of vac out there.
If its price go for the felix,if you can afford more go for the dart2 as it has a bigger brush head and stronger brush motor,which means you cover a bigger area quicker.

The Felix will not be guaranteed for commercial use.

Got news for you niether is the Dart.
You only get 12 months

[John Kelly]

Yes but Paul, a vacuum cleaner in domestic use will be lucky if it gets used once a week. A commercial vacuum could be in use for 8 hours every day.
Obviously this extended use is going to show up any shortcomings such as faulty vacuum motors in the warranty period. There the cost of replacing these is factored into the price.

I had to get a Dart fixed last year for a customer, small normal use.Seb told me " as it is a comercial vac (even if it is used in domestic homes)gives it a 12 month warrenty and not the 3 year stated one.
I think if any body challenged this i court,hen they would be on sticky grounds as wih sebo all thei guarentees state 3 years, domesti and comerial vac's.

Get the felix much better deal.

[*paul_moss]

The Felix is very much the same as the dart1, the dart 2 has a longer brush and a slightly stronger brush motor which makes it better for us to use as you can cover more areas quicker.
I sell the felix to my customers.If you look on ebay there are a couple of guys selling them at very good prices.One of them even chucks in a parq floor head free.
