At a Glance
Quick Summary
Choose the FELIX Premium when you want the storage and direct handling of an upright, but need a real carpet power head, a separate hard-floor brush, and more maneuverability than a traditional fixed-neck upright.
ET-1 pivots around furniture and lowers to an approximately six-inch profile.
Three-layer AeraPure collection with a hygiene cap for disposal.
A 31-foot cord provides full-size cleaning without battery limits.
Published capture down to 0.3 micron; FELIX is not HEPA.
One Upright, Two Floor Heads
Product Overview
The SEBO FELIX Premium Indigo #90814AM is a corded, bagged swivel upright made in Germany. Its electric ET-1 provides four manual heights, 2,700-RPM agitation, one-sided edge cleaning, a removable roller, and obstruction protection. For compatible hard floors, fit the included Premium Parquet Brush.
Pull out the six-foot hose for detail work, or remove the floor head and carry the suction unit by its side handle. The three-level handle adjusts for user height and storage; its slider reduces suction for curtains, upholstery, and delicate surfaces.
AeraPure bag, pre-motor filter, S-class exhaust microfilter, and sealed construction form the dust path. The Indigo textile also absorbs motor sound; SEBO publishes 68 dBA.

Professional Buying Guidance
Expert Recommendation
FELIX Premium suits mixed-floor homes seeking upright storage, pet-hair capability, sealed bagged filtration, and direct floor-head control.
Choose FELIX Premium
You want steering, variable suction, adjustable height, powered carpet cleaning, and a parquet head in one upright.
Choose SEBO DART
You want the ET-1 platform but do not need FELIX's premium controls, steering, or included parquet brush.
Choose a canister
Stairs and above-floor work dominate, and you prefer leaving the motor body on the floor.
Try it in-store if lifting weight, plush-carpet compatibility, stairs, or sound matters. Motor watts alone do not determine cleaning results, and cross-brand airflow measures are not interchangeable.
Homes and Cleaning Needs
Best For
Pet owners
ET-1 lifts carpet hair, and its roller removes without tools. Add the optional handheld turbo brush for fabric stairs and furniture.
Allergy sufferers
Capped bags, two filters, and sealed construction control dust. This is S-class—not HEPA or a medical treatment.
Hardwood floors
The Premium Parquet Brush provides straight suction. Rubber-coated wheels help protect floors; follow their maker's care guidance.
Carpeted homes
Four manual heights match varied piles; the red indicator flags excessive height, worn bristles, or obstruction.
Apartments
Upright storage, adjustable handle, swivel neck, and a 68 dBA rating suit tighter spaces if cord and weight work for the owner.
Luxury homes
A parquet head, rubber-coated wheels, soft bumper, and precise steering support careful navigation. Test specialty floors first.
Large homes
A 31-foot cord and 0.92-gallon bag cover useful ground. Compare a 40-foot-cord upright or D4 for longer routes.
Quiet cleaning
SEBO publishes 68 dBA, and the textile filter absorbs sound. Reduce suction when full power is unnecessary.
Balanced Buying Advice
Not Ideal For
- HEPA-required buyers: FELIX is S-class with no HEPA conversion. Compare an eligible AUTOMATIC X or documented HEPA canister.
- Cordless-only shoppers: The cord requires outlets and manual wrapping.
- Bagless-only households: Bags and filters are recurring costs.
- Budget-first hard-floor homes: An electric carpet head may be more equipment than a mainly bare-floor home needs.
- Frequent high-area cleaners: A wand and extension hose are optional.
- People sensitive to lifting weight: The manual lists 9.9–15.4 pounds by attached head. Test before buying.
- Hands-off carpet setup: Brush height is four-level manual, not automatic.
- Commercial use: Residential warranty coverage does not apply to commercial operation under SEBO's published terms.

Why This Configuration Matters
What Makes This Model Stand Out
Two floor systems
ET-1 handles carpet; the Premium Parquet Brush handles compatible hard floors.
Canister-like versatility
Instant hose, detachable body, adjustable handle, and optional extensions broaden upright use.
Owner-accessible ET-1
Roller, clog door, height dial, warning light, and shutoff simplify care.
Functional textile
The Indigo/White S-class exhaust microfilter also absorbs motor noise.
FELIX prioritizes direct control: choose height, suction, brush on/off, and the correct floor head. It rewards buyers who value precise setup and replaceable parts.
Choose by Priorities
Product Comparisons
FELIX vs. SEBO DART
Core ET-1 specifications match. FELIX adds steering, variable suction, adjustable handle, parquet brush, and hose-use roller stop. Choose DART if those upgrades are unnecessary.
FELIX vs. X4 Boost
FELIX favors steering, manual height, brush-off, and interchangeable heads. X4 Boost adds automatic height, a larger bag, 40-foot cord, wand, optional HEPA, and two brush modes.
FELIX vs. Miele Guard L1 Electro
FELIX offers upright storage and direct steering. Miele's canister adds standard HEPA, automatic suction, telescopic wand, cord rewind, and 36-foot radius.
FELIX vs. Dyson Ball Animal 3
FELIX uses capped bags, four brush heights, removable roller, and parquet head. Dyson is bagless with an auto-de-tangling Motorbar. No comparable Dyson sound figure supports a quieter claim.
FELIX vs. Riccar R27 Premium Pet
FELIX emphasizes steering, manual ET-1 control, and parquet care. R27P emphasizes HEPA media, two brush speeds, a sensor, headlight, wand, and pet tools.
Upright vs. canister
Choose FELIX for one-piece storage and floor work. Choose a canister when stairs, ceilings, drapes, furniture, or a lighter working handle dominate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Open the master FAQ guide, then select a question. The answers distinguish manufacturer specifications from practical floor-matching guidance.
FAQs: SEBO FELIX Premium buying and ownership guide
Is #90814AM the Indigo U.S. FELIX Premium?
Yes. SEBO identifies 90814AM as FELIX Premium Indigo in Dark Blue/White. Other colors use different model numbers.
What comes with the SEBO FELIX Premium #90814AM?
It includes the Indigo upright, ET-1 electric power head, Premium Parquet Brush, six-foot integrated hose, crevice nozzle, and horsehair dusting brush.
Is the SEBO FELIX Premium good for pet hair?
Yes, especially on carpet. ET-1 supplies powered agitation, and its brush roller removes without tools for easier wrapped-hair cleanup.
Can FELIX clean hardwood, tile, laminate, and LVP?
Yes. Use the included Premium Parquet Brush on compatible finished hard floors and follow the flooring manufacturer's care instructions.
Does FELIX work on wall-to-wall carpet?
Yes. The ET-1 has four manual height settings for different carpet piles, plus an indicator for excessive height or worn bristles.
Can I turn off the ET-1 brush roller?
Yes. A green illuminated button switches the roller off. It also stops automatically when the vacuum is upright-locked or the hose is removed.
Is FELIX safe for area rugs and delicate rugs?
Suitability depends on construction. Reduce suction, switch off the roller, or change tools; follow the rug maker's guidance and test delicate surfaces first.
What happens if the brush roller jams?
A flashing red warning activates and the roller stops. Switch off and unplug the vacuum, then clear the obstruction before restarting.
Is the SEBO FELIX suitable for allergy sufferers?
It is a tightly sealed, bagged S-class system with capped disposal. Buyers who specifically require HEPA should choose another documented HEPA model.
Does the FELIX Premium have HEPA filtration?
No. SEBO specifies S-class filtration and lists no HEPA option for FELIX. Do not confuse its performance with HEPA certification.
How effective is SEBO S-class filtration?
SEBO states the S-class filter standard requires greater than 99.9% capture down to 0.3 micron. That is not the HEPA 99.97% standard.
How loud is the SEBO FELIX Premium?
SEBO publishes 68 dBA. Attachment, power setting, surface, room acoustics, and test method affect perceived sound.
Is FELIX quieter than a Dyson?
A reliable blanket claim is not possible because Dyson models and sound-test methods vary. Compare the exact machines in person if sound is decisive.
Is the FELIX Premium good for an apartment?
It can be. Its upright footprint, adjustable handle, and steering help in tighter spaces, though it is heavier than many cordless sticks.
Can FELIX handle a large or luxury home?
Yes, particularly with mixed floors. For exceptionally long routes or extensive tool use, compare a 40-foot-cord upright or long-range canister.
How much does the FELIX Premium weigh?
The owner manual lists 9.9–15.4 pounds depending on the attached head. Test the complete ET-1 configuration if lifting is a concern.
Can I use FELIX on stairs and upholstery?
Yes. Detach the suction unit and use its hose. The optional extension hose, wand, upholstery nozzle, or handheld turbo brush can improve specialized cleaning.
Which bags and filters fit #90814AM?
Use FELIX/DART bags #7029AM, pre-motor filter #7012AM, and the compatible Indigo textile exhaust microfilter. Ask Ace to confirm current suffixes.
What is the difference between SEBO FELIX and DART?
FELIX adds swivel steering, variable suction, adjustable handle height, an included parquet brush, and automatic roller stop when the hose is removed.
What warranty and support are available?
Standard residential coverage is seven years on motors and five on non-wear parts and labor, subject to terms. Ask Ace about 10/10/7 Warranty Bonus eligibility and registration.

The allergy-conscious bagged buyer
You value capped disposal, sealed airflow, and S-class filtration—and understand that FELIX is not a HEPA model.
The apartment or townhome owner
You want upright storage, adjustable handle height, full-size corded cleaning, and a detachable body for occasional stairs.
The detail-oriented floor owner
You are comfortable selecting one of four carpet heights and swapping to the proper parquet tool for hard floors.

Buying, Setup, and Ownership
Frequently Asked Questions
Open the master FAQ guide, then select a question. The answers distinguish manufacturer specifications from practical floor-matching guidance.
FAQs: SEBO FELIX Premium buying and ownership guide
Is #90814AM the Indigo U.S. FELIX Premium?
Yes. SEBO identifies 90814AM as FELIX Premium Indigo in Dark Blue/White. Other colors use different model numbers.
What comes with the SEBO FELIX Premium #90814AM?
It includes the Indigo upright, ET-1 electric power head, Premium Parquet Brush, six-foot integrated hose, crevice nozzle, and horsehair dusting brush.
Is the SEBO FELIX Premium good for pet hair?
Yes, especially on carpet. ET-1 supplies powered agitation, and its brush roller removes without tools for easier wrapped-hair cleanup.
Can FELIX clean hardwood, tile, laminate, and LVP?
Yes. Use the included Premium Parquet Brush on compatible finished hard floors and follow the flooring manufacturer's care instructions.
Does FELIX work on wall-to-wall carpet?
Yes. The ET-1 has four manual height settings for different carpet piles, plus an indicator for excessive height or worn bristles.
Can I turn off the ET-1 brush roller?
Yes. A green illuminated button switches the roller off. It also stops automatically when the vacuum is upright-locked or the hose is removed.
Is FELIX safe for area rugs and delicate rugs?
Suitability depends on construction. Reduce suction, switch off the roller, or change tools; follow the rug maker's guidance and test delicate surfaces first.
What happens if the brush roller jams?
A flashing red warning activates and the roller stops. Switch off and unplug the vacuum, then clear the obstruction before restarting.
Is the SEBO FELIX suitable for allergy sufferers?
It is a tightly sealed, bagged S-class system with capped disposal. Buyers who specifically require HEPA should choose another documented HEPA model.
Does the FELIX Premium have HEPA filtration?
No. SEBO specifies S-class filtration and lists no HEPA option for FELIX. Do not confuse its performance with HEPA certification.
How effective is SEBO S-class filtration?
SEBO states the S-class filter standard requires greater than 99.9% capture down to 0.3 micron. That is not the HEPA 99.97% standard.
How loud is the SEBO FELIX Premium?
SEBO publishes 68 dBA. Attachment, power setting, surface, room acoustics, and test method affect perceived sound.
Is FELIX quieter than a Dyson?
A reliable blanket claim is not possible because Dyson models and sound-test methods vary. Compare the exact machines in person if sound is decisive.
Is the FELIX Premium good for an apartment?
It can be. Its upright footprint, adjustable handle, and steering help in tighter spaces, though it is heavier than many cordless sticks.
Can FELIX handle a large or luxury home?
Yes, particularly with mixed floors. For exceptionally long routes or extensive tool use, compare a 40-foot-cord upright or long-range canister.
How much does the FELIX Premium weigh?
The owner manual lists 9.9–15.4 pounds depending on the attached head. Test the complete ET-1 configuration if lifting is a concern.
Can I use FELIX on stairs and upholstery?
Yes. Detach the suction unit and use its hose. The optional extension hose, wand, upholstery nozzle, or handheld turbo brush can improve specialized cleaning.
Which bags and filters fit #90814AM?
Use FELIX/DART bags #7029AM, pre-motor filter #7012AM, and the compatible Indigo textile exhaust microfilter. Ask Ace to confirm current suffixes.
What is the difference between SEBO FELIX and DART?
FELIX adds swivel steering, variable suction, adjustable handle height, an included parquet brush, and automatic roller stop when the hose is removed.
What warranty and support are available?
Standard residential coverage is seven years on motors and five on non-wear parts and labor, subject to terms. Ask Ace about 10/10/7 Warranty Bonus eligibility and registration.

Clear Shipping Standards • Return Guidance • Refund Timing
Shipping, Return & Refund Policy
AceVacuums wants customers to understand shipping expectations, return requirements, and refund timing clearly before placing an order. This page explains how order processing, shipping, return authorization, exchanges, damaged-item reporting, and refunds are generally handled.
Our goal is to keep policy information easy to read, professionally structured, and fair to both the customer and the condition standards required for product resale and support.
Quick Access
How to Use This Policy Page
This page is designed as a single policy center for customers who want a clearer summary of shipping, return, and refund expectations before ordering from AceVacuums.
Product category, item condition, packaging completeness, reporting speed, carrier timing, and whether a product is opened, used, installed, or special-order can all affect the final policy outcome.
Shipping Policy
AceVacuums aims to process and ship eligible in-stock orders as quickly as possible so customers are not left waiting unnecessarily for common vacuum products, parts, bags, filters, or accessories. The live page currently presents this as a shipping-and-return page, so this combined format preserves that structure in a cleaner layout. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
Order processing
Eligible in-stock orders placed before the daily business-day cutoff are generally processed the same day. Orders placed after the cutoff, on weekends, or on holidays are generally processed on the next business day.
Shipping timing can vary
Final shipping and delivery timing may be affected by carrier performance, weather, inventory confirmation, order verification, holidays, or whether the item is special-order or temporarily unavailable.
Tracking and delivery
Once an order ships, delivery timing is generally controlled by the carrier. Customers should monitor tracking updates and inspect packages promptly after arrival.
Return Policy
AceVacuums wants customers to understand return expectations clearly before placing an order. Returns are reviewed based on timing, item condition, product category, and whether the merchandise remains complete and resale-ready.
Return authorization is required
All returns must be requested and approved by AceVacuums before the item is sent back. Unauthorized returns may be refused.
Standard return window
Eligible items should generally be reported for return within 30 days of delivery unless another condition is stated on the product page, invoice, or at the time of purchase.
Condition matters
Original packaging, manuals, accessories, cleanliness, and overall condition affect whether a return can be accepted and on what terms.
Opened or used items: Opened, installed, assembled, or used products may be subject to inspection, reduced refund eligibility, restocking fees, exchange limits, or denial depending on category and condition.
Non-Returnable or Final-Sale Items
Certain products may be non-returnable or final sale depending on category, condition, installation status, or product-specific rules.
Damaged, Defective, Incorrect, or Missing Items
If an order arrives damaged, defective, incomplete, or incorrect, contact AceVacuums as soon as possible after delivery. The current live policy page already combines shipping and return expectations, so this section clarifies the issue-reporting path customers most often need. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
What customers should do
- Inspect the shipment promptly
- Keep all original packaging
- Take clear photos if damage is visible
- Provide the order number and issue summary
Why prompt reporting matters
Problems reported quickly are easier to document and investigate. Delayed reporting can reduce available resolution options depending on the issue and the carrier timeline.
Refund Policy
Refunds are issued after inspection
Refunds are generally issued only after the returned item is received, inspected, and approved by AceVacuums.
Possible deductions
Depending on the circumstances, original shipping charges, return shipping costs, or restocking fees may be non-refundable or deducted where permitted and appropriate.
Refund timing
If approved, refunds are generally issued back to the original payment method. Timing may vary based on inspection completion and payment-provider processing.
Exchanges
Eligible exchange requests may be approved based on item condition, replacement availability, return reason, and whether the replacement is the same item or a different product.
Return Shipping Costs
Unless the return is due to an approved seller error or an approved damaged/defective item claim, the customer is generally responsible for return shipping costs.
Store vs Online Orders
In-store purchases may be subject to different procedures than online orders. Customers should follow the instructions on their receipt, invoice, or from AceVacuums staff when applicable.
