Verdict

The SEBO Felix 4 Kombi is a high-performance, corded upright vacuum cleaner engineered in Germany, featuring an 890-watt suction motor, a 28 cm working width, and a 3.5-litre multi-layer ultra-bag capacity. Key characteristics include a highly manoeuvrable 180° swivel neck, an anti-allergy S-Class filtration system that captures 99.9% of particles down to 0.3 microns, a height-adjustable telescopic handle, and variable suction controls integrated directly into the handle. Main pros include its versatile ability to convert into a compact handheld unit, excellent multi-surface pickup using the included SEBO Kombi floor nozzle, exceptional durability due to high-grade ABS construction, and a generous 10.5-metre operating radius. However, notable cons include its lack of an automatic cord winder, the tendency to push larger debris forward on hard floors rather than sucking it up directly, and its 4.5 kg body weight, which some users find heavy or fatiguing during extended use.
