Sebo Felix Premium Upright Vacuum vs SEBO Airbelt E1 Kombi Canister Vacuum

The Felix is the better vacuum for carpeted homes and pet owners, because its ET-1 powerhead drives a 2,700 RPM brushroll that lifts embedded hair and dander. The E1 Kombi is a straight-suction canister built for hard floors and low-pile rugs, and it is quieter and easier to pull around. Owners of both praise SEBO's German build and long cords; Felix owners call it heavy, while E1 Kombi owners accept that it has no electric brushroll for deep carpet.

• Choose the SEBO Felix Premium if most of your floors are carpet or area rugs and you want one machine that also converts to a handheld for stairs and car interiors.
• Choose the SEBO Airbelt E1 Kombi if your home is mostly hardwood, tile or stone with only low-pile rugs, and you want quiet, light canister cleaning with a soft bumper that won't mark walls.
