It is hands down the best vacuum cleaner ever. You are so right in everything you say. High quality german made. I own one (felix fun) here in Germany and I love it. My Miele C3 canister is also absolutely amazing but for carpet no vacuum ever can compete with Sebo Felix/Dart. It is really the best.

It’s satisfying that people are buying proper vacuums instead of the junk you get at big box stores.

Not sure if anyone pointed this out yet. If you buy a Sebo vacuum through an authorized dealer they can extend your warranty to 10 years!

The thing that surprised me the most about being an adult is how much of my life I’ve spent researching and purchasing vacuums! I’m also a chronic vacuum murder due to cats and long haired human.

You are right: bagless vacuums do emit a lot of fine dust back into the air. I am a vacuum cleaner repairman and I always advise people to go with a bagged machine. Sebo and Miele are two of the best German made vacuum cleaners you can buy. I personally own two Kirby vacuums and a Royal all-metal upright. We have four cats and two dogs so there is a lot of vacuuming every day, lol. You have a great machine. I like the Felix, myself, which is the same thing as the Dart.

Interesting review. FYI the Sebo FELIX is the big brother to the Dart, is able to handle hard floors thanks to an included parquete brush (there are other extras, some of which you mentioned). Should also add my FELIX lasted 15 years and was donated (fully working) to a church so I could replace it with the Sebo E3.

Love your review - cracked me up! When something is well designed, it’s easy to get excited about it! Finally visited my local vacuum dealer today, and after about 15 minutes of shopping, got my dart and a box o’ bags. This thing is cool!

You're an awesome reviewer with a good sense of humour! I've been researching vacuum for the past few days and I don't remember watching a review with a smiling face like I did with this one :) Subscribed

You know when you are officially an adult when vacuum reviews excite you!! Yay, 27! Lol I’ve never heard of this brand, but I have two pugs and normal vacuums just don’t keep up! Thanks Jen!

I bought a Sebo Dart today based on your review. Thank you for the very informative video.

Sounds awesome! I’ve never heard of this brand but we have a Miele (I believe also German made) and it’s amazing. I’ve had it for at least 11/12 years and we had cats for quite a number of those years. We got our first normal, upright, bagless vacuum and spent about $100 and within a year it was just disgustingly dirty, not cleaning well, and anytime you emptied it, dirty just went everywhere (and we were two young professionals in a small apartment and working full time with no pets, there wasn’t that much to vacuum up!). So we started researching and landed on Miele and I love it. I’ve never cleaned out the area where the bag goes and it’s still clean in there. I also like that ours can take a hepa filter, so I change that as recommended. A really really good vacuum is 100% worth the investment. I don’t even think $500 for yours is terribly expensive. Sounds like a wonderful investment and will really be something you will love to use and clean with for many years (yes, I realize how ridiculous this is sounding. Raving over vacuums and congratulating someone on their fine choice. 😂🤣)

Jen, I pulled the trigger yesterday. After seeing your video and doing a bunch of research on my own I decided with the Felix. Thank you so much for turning my head to this great company. Also, I'm typing this while wearing my new favorite sweater from Stitch Fix, which I got with your link. :) Clearly you truly live up to term "influencer"!!

I had never heard of Sebo until now. I enjoyed your video and It was very helpful in my decision making. And, I also think it’s going to be my all time favorite vacuum. See ya Dyson.

Jen, I’m going to have my mom watch this! She has a bagless vac, and she washes it monthly! She needs this in her life!

Great video! 👍 Thanks for making it! Awesome to see an honest review from someone who needed a product, did the research and bought it themselves. So helpful! I don’t really need a vacuum cleaner rn but I’ll be sure to come back to this video when I do.

Fun to note, but if you buy the Felix Onyx version (part # 9807AM) only available at an authorized vac store/Sebo dealer, you get their 10/10/7 warranty. 10 yr parts, 10 yr Motor, 7 yr labor coverage. The outer bag cover of the machine is also a replaceable filter that you can swap out for other designs when the time comes to replace it. I own an E3 Premium canister myself and absolutely love it!

I purchased a Sebo Dart the day BEFORE watching this video - always a day late and dollar short. I am so impressed with my new vacuum. I sat out for the garbage to feed the landfill again bagless vac after buying numerous expensive poor vacs for anyone with dogs. Everything you said in your video is true. Thank you for confirming to me how wonderful this vac is!

(Jane) I love product review videos, both the good and the bad. I have a European dryer that my husband calls my "entertainment center". But hey, when I think about how much this versatile dryer does and how much easier laundry is, it was well worth the cost! I hope you continue to enjoy your Sebo vacuum!

I love love love my Sebo❤️. Mine is a canister it has the same powerhead as yours. It was a big investment for a vacuum but I've had it 10 years and it's still as good as new! I think it would last another 10+ years. I've previously had Dyson and have never understood the hype about them 🤷‍♂️.I have a Golden Retriever and two Maine Coon cats and the Sebo is AMAZING.💨🐶

Jen, I’ve loved your DVC videos and now am in the market for a quality vacuum. Leaning toward a Sebo. I had to laugh to myself when your video popped up, “when my DVC world and vacuum research collide!” 😂

Great review. Very detailed and useful info. My parents have a samoyed, so I totally get the long haired issued. Thanks for another thoughtful video

Greetings from the UK. I absolutely love the Felix machine (domestic version of Dart). It deep cleans my floors perfectly and is so solid and well made. Think your video is fantastic and I appreciate your excellent review.

Love your review!! I don't have a shedding dog or much carpet, but if i needed a new vacuum I'd seriously look into this one. I totally have been on the floor cleaning the roller, which having 3 long haired girls, it collects hair quickly! Thanks for the info Jen!!

This is an amazing review especially considering you are not a "vacuum expert"! You did great, I'm so impressed

The thing about hair in the roller....so true. It’s so much easier to sort out with a removable roller. Great review!

Great video I learned about cleaning that roller. I enjoyed the video I learn such wisdom

You changed my life by recommending this vacuum.

You want to keep buying the Genuine bags because Sebo and Miele (pronounced Me La) are so powerful they will pull dust through the cheap bags. Great review from a real user. Also if you have pet odors try the charcoal pre motor filter.

I have a Pyrenees, too, and cleaning up after him has trashed 2 Dysons. Had the Sebo recommended by someone else. So happy to see your review. Thanks!

Great presentation Thank you 😊

You "murder" your vacuums!! Too funny! I have never heard of this brand...good job on your son's part for the research! We have a central vacuum system (in this house and a previous house as well) and love it, but we do not have huge, fluffy dogs!

This is a great review on a great vacuum.

Thanks so much for taking the time to do this video. I finally killed my old ancient Dyson Animal (no ball) in Nov. It is actually falling apart due to so much use. I have been using a Shark vac in the meantime while I look for something else. The Shark is decent, it's designed/marketed for pet households (I have three hairy Border Collies)...but it's nowhere near as good as my Dyson. Dog hair and super fine dust are being left behind. I brought the D to the vac repair place and he said there was nothing he could do. However he has recommended the Sebo Felix (I have 70/30 hard flooring/carpet). It's pricey but everything I am reading and seeing says it may be my next vac!

This video was life altering! I have been shopping for a new vacuum because as you stated my big beautiful Newfoundland has aided in the murdering of yet another expensive vacuum. I was considering trying a Dyson because I’m a serial killer of Sharks. This sounds like it is absolutely what I need. My big black Newfoundland’s fur destroys vacuums but this one makes it so easy to remove the roller and clear out the hair. PERFECTION!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! 🙌🏼

Oh my goodness! I have such vacuum cleaner envy!! And I love vacuum cleaner that use bags. My bagless vacuums always developed an odor that I could never get rid of. And, like you, with having dogs, I destroyed more vacuums than I want to count... even the so-called highly rated ones. I currently have a cannister vacuum because I wanted bags. Oh, and that roller! What a mess! Thanks so much for giving this review. When my current vacuum dies, I will definitely look into this.

It is great for hardwood floors It was actually designed for both carpet and hardwood floors. Also the Sebo Felix is the same as the Sebo Dart but has more features. If you have hardwood floors this is the vacuum for you!!!

Hi Jen! Truth be told I was surprised to see you were doing a vacuum review but knew if YOU were doing it, it'd be worth my while and it certainly was. We have an English Bulldog (you know that's not supposed to shed) but most certainly does and I use my vacuum everyday. I know I'm going to need to replace my Shark soon as I was seriously considering a Dyson but now I'm thinking this might be the one. Thank you for the tips on ordering this thru the Sebo website, I appreciate that. Thank you for ALL you do! --Susan

Thank Jen. Your review was terrific and quite helpful... especially the weight of the machine and the fact one should look for an American model. As I think about a new cleaner, I wish to thank you for helping me in my decision between a canister and an upright. One question... when taking out the hose for above floor cleaning, does it also come with an extention wand attachment for reach?

Hi Jen... we just laid our Dyson to rest after five years 😪 It was murdered by our adorable Jack Russell Terrier and three phenomenal cats (viscious blighters). We have purchased a quick fix Shark. Not thrilled, but it will do. Great info. (as always). Thank you! Oh, and so sorry, I missed the Patreon chat this evening. Epic fail, but I will catch the replay. Cheers!

Now that it's been 2 years, has it held up well and do you still love it?

I've had mine for about 3 1/2 years. I don't find it particularly heavy. I guess I am just used to heavy vacuums. The thing I like the least is that when you use the hose and the crevice tool, the vacuum tips over., There is no way to not have it tip over other than having one hand on the vacuum part. SOO, I see this video and realize, I can take off the part that makes it tip over! I have 2 long haired cats and a couple southwest style wool rugs. All of those can be hard on vacuums. Sebo handles it well. I also have lots and lots of tile floors, and carpet in the bedrooms, so a mix of flooring and this vac handles it all. I found this video just trying to research how to change out filters for maintenance so it stays like new forever. Love mine!

How are you going with this now is it still working I have a Sebo X5 that is 16 years old

Thanks for the compelling and honest review! I've been looking at the Sebo's and this makes my decision easier! Minor notes... the higher model is the "Felix" and the other German vacuum manufacturer you referred to is Miele ("me-lay"), not Mill 😃

Love this review and next vacuum I will consider this one I too have never found the perfect vacuum it is a make I have never heard of before but we are getting a puppy later in the year so I have saved this video

This was a timely video! My puppy just chewed through a Dyson vacuum cleaner cord. 😭 Totally my fault for leaving it accessible to her, but still. 😭 I am going to check into this brand. Never heard of it before this, but it looks like a winner. Thanks for the thorough review!

You can get a really long extension hose for these or extra wands so you can reach up high, I found it made mine easier for hose use!

Great review 3 years later. My numerous Australian Shepherds have killed so many vacs with their shedding. Lol.

I think most people call those HEPA bags or HEPA cloth bags....they are fantastic and just started becoming available maybe in the 2000s? Lots of vacuums can use them and basically NOTHING escapes them...the bag chamber stays clean UNLESS there is some sort of defect where the vacuum doesn't seal the bag well when it's installed... You do know you can buy an extension hose to give yourself way more reach to clean up high, low, etc. I don't have this upright but another one it also uses a HEPA bag. I bought this 12 foot extension hose and attachments that go with it and I connect it to my vacuum and I can clean everywhere... ceiling fans...walls...without moving the vacuum

What kind of Dysons have you owned our or curiosity and what exactly broke on them? Like was it the brushroll or did the suction drop? Edit: I’m just halfway through the video and I’m really enjoying the way you explain this vacuum so well! Fantastic video!

I have the Felix which is the step up from this. It’s definitely the best vacuum cleaner. I would recommend finding a Sebo dealer (don’t buy online) because you get a better deal. I paid less than she quoted for my Felix.

Omg, thank you so much for the video. I am going to see if I can work that into my budget. Bc with the shark I feel like after I vacuum I could immediately do it again bc where did all this dust come from?

This might be going on my Xmas list!!!! We have a basset hound and oh my lord....all the hair!!!!

Excellent review, I subscribed. I like how U go into details. We're u to order again would u go for the pricier Felix?⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I've had a Shark for about 5 years and it works decently, but the flimsy plastic parts get on ny nerves. I got a Bissell Crosswave for Christmas and LOVE it. I would totally consider getting one of these once my Shark dies! Bagless sounds a lot cleaner.

As you mentioned, Dyson is NOT the best vacuum ever, Dyson is just the best marketer ever. This comment is 2 years later than the video so people should know that Sebo has a dealer locater on their site now; buying from an authorized dealer can get you an extended warranty and often a sale price. It's also the place to go if you ever need a repair. Fashionistas should be aware the blue fabric cover on the vacuum is also a post-filter and Sebo sells them in different colors & patterns.

Great review Jen! I use a Dyson that I have had for quite a few years now. I regularly tear it all apart to clean the dog hair and whatever out of the hoses and roller and wash filters, which is really a pain in the rear, but necessary. I think the Dyson is a great vacuum, but when I need to replace it I am going to look into this Sebo because of the simple way you can get that roller out. That would save so much time. Are there filters to replace on that, or does it not have them because of it being a bagged vacuum? Thanks again for the review.

That’s a really sleek looking vacuum. We have a lot of waterproof vinyl plank so I don’t know if the vacuum would suit us but our older house had tons of carpet. We don’t have a dog but we have two cats and folks with long hair and I understand your struggles of getting down on the floor with a pair of scissors trying to cut the hair lol. I though I was the only one who did that. Also thanks for mentioning how heavy it may be. It’s hard for my mom to move some of the vacuum cleaners so that’s a good thing for us to know and a lot of people don’t always mention it.

YES! The bagless vacuums are disgusting after just 1-2 uses. I am definitely going to look into these machines. Our carpets are old also, but you know...little kids and a puppy! I'm hoping it will last a little longer before we replace it all. I can't believe I have never even heard of this brand. Thanks Jen!

Love it. 😘❤️

A good tip: the Sebo Felix/Dart brush rolls are top rack dishwasher safe so you can get the brush extra clean. Make sure the Brush-roll is bone dry before Putting it back in.😉😊👍

If you have alot of hard floors get a "dust mop" and you'll be wondering how you survived without one. If this vacuum ends up failing you check out the Sensor S12 its what we use at my job cleaning elementary schools and its soooo good. Easy to clean, maintain and repair. Its never failed me and i put it through hell. Only thing ive ever had to repair on any of our Sensor s12's in the past 8 years is the plug but thats likely because i plug and unplug it several hundred times a week.

Did you mention how heavy it is to push around? I want one thanks!

Interesting!

Thanks. Its hard to find a review for this vacuum in the U.S.

Or a daughter with long hair, I can totally relate. If it last for five years it will pay for itself. We are such a disposable society makes sense to spend a little more. Ya know reach out to the Sebo company, you never know they may take you up on your new design-Guitar Hero guitar/vacuum cleaner, so when Mom tells the kids to “clean up” she means it literally. 💖

I have a pug/pit bull mix and the amount of fur I clean up on a weekly basis is shocking. I have to completely take my Dyson apart several times a year to give it a deep clean and get all the fur out of random places. The only thing keeping me from covering this vacuum is the fact that we have no carpet in our home, just a little tile and predominantly wood floors.

There's a reason why the Whitehouse and Buckingham palace love this brand. Because it gets the job done.

Sebo sells a product called Duo-p it’s a dry chemical to clean your carpet it’s fantastic check it out

Must check this out. Older home. Dog, & I have long hair. Might be an investment.

I have also killed many vacuum cleaners over the years. With pets it’s easy to do. That darn roller gets so wrapped up in hair and I hate trying to clip it all out weekly😳

I'm so ready to go back to a bagged vacuum. Have a Dyson and each time I have to clean out the canister its nasty. The debris doesn't drop out like they show but rather I have to (or at least I do) use my finger to loosen the dirt around the filter to get it out. Yuk.

Nice review, you awful vacuum murderer. We have a rainbow vacuum which we like because everything passes through water which captures all of the dust and dirt, you just dump it after. Not sure how it would work with long Max hair though. The Sebo bag system seems to be the best I have seen. 👍

If anyone would've told me I would someday get excited over a video about a vacuum cleaner....I would have laughed SO HARD :p But now I'm like: ok, I want that! :p We've got the Dyson Idon'tknowwhatnumberorseries :p but it is a special 'pets' edition and the roller does come out too but not as easy as yours does. And oh my gosh the amount of dust it still leaves behind... :s BUT it's cordless and I love that...because I have such a bad back(got the results from my nuclear bone scan and it appears I've got severe arthrosis in my lower back so yay!) and so many health issues....that struggling with the cord is the last thing I need! I can do like half of our apartment with the Dyson and then my hand and back hurt so much I need to stop. blergh. :p But if I'm ever in the market for a new one(because right now we just can't afford a new one....my dryer recently broke and we can't even pay to fix that or to buy a new one). Stupid covidthing!

If you ever run for president can your platform be that all vacuums have a removable brush? 😂 Why is this not always a thing?!

Expensive but worth every penny.

Do not buy the generic bags, it voids the warranty.

Don't use anything but genuine bags! Generic bags will void your warranty
