Description
SEBO FELIX 9809AM Premium Rosso Red Upright Vacuum combines the powerful carpet-cleaning ability of a premium upright with the maneuverability and versatility normally associated with a canister vacuum. Its highly maneuverable 180-degree swivel power head, variable suction control, adjustable handle, dedicated parquet brush and detachable suction unit make the FELIX one of SEBO’s most flexible upright designs.
The Rosso model adds SEBO’s distinctive red and rose-patterned textile styling while retaining the commercial-quality construction and cleaning system found throughout the FELIX Premium line. Whether cleaning carpeting, rugs, hardwood, tile, stairs, furniture or pet hair, the FELIX can be quickly configured for the job.
SEBO FELIX 9809AM Premium Multi-Surface Cleaning
The SEBO FELIX 9809AM comes with two separate floor-cleaning heads: SEBO’s 12-inch ET-1 electric power head for carpeting and a dedicated parquet brush for hard floors.
This gives the FELIX much of the versatility of a premium canister vacuum while retaining the convenient upright configuration many customers prefer.
12-Inch ET-1 Electric Power Head
The commercial-quality ET-1 power head is 12 inches wide with an approximately 10.5-inch cleaning path.
Its powered brush roller agitates carpeting to loosen embedded dust, dirt, lint and pet hair while SEBO’s strong airflow carries the debris into the filter bag.
The L-shaped contour also helps the cleaning head reach beneath counters and around furniture.
180-Degree Swivel Steering
One of the biggest differences between the FELIX and many traditional upright vacuums is its steering system.
The ET-1 power head can rotate through approximately 180 degrees, allowing the FELIX to maneuver around tables, chairs, furniture and other obstacles with much less effort than a fixed-neck upright.
Four-Level Manual Height Adjustment
The ET-1 power head provides four brush-height settings.
This allows the user to adjust brush contact for different carpet pile heights instead of relying on one fixed nozzle position.
Variable Suction Control
The FELIX includes electronic variable suction control directly on the handle.
Full suction can be used for demanding carpet cleaning, while lower suction settings can make cleaning delicate rugs, upholstery, curtains and other sensitive surfaces easier.
The motor also uses a gradual soft-start system rather than immediately operating at maximum power.
Dedicated Parquet Brush for Hard Floors
A dedicated hard-floor parquet brush is included with the FELIX Premium.
This lightweight floor tool provides excellent maneuverability on hardwood, tile and other compatible hard surfaces and is one of the major advantages of choosing the FELIX Premium over the simpler SEBO DART.
Brush-Roll Shutoff
The ET-1 spinning brush roller can be manually switched off when cleaning delicate rugs or compatible hard flooring with straight suction.
The brush also stops automatically when the handle is locked upright or the suction hose is removed from its housing.
Excellent Pet-Hair Performance
The powered ET-1 brush roller provides strong agitation for removing pet hair from carpeting and area rugs.
The instant-use hose and included accessories also make it easy to clean hair from furniture, corners and other above-floor surfaces.
Three-Stage S-Class Filtration
The SEBO FELIX 9809AM uses a three-stage filtration system consisting of a pre-motor filter, three-layer AeraPure filter bag and S-Class exhaust microfilter.
The exhaust filter is incorporated behind the FELIX’s decorative textile covering and also helps absorb motor noise, contributing to the vacuum’s quiet operation.
0.92-Gallon AeraPure Filter Bag
The FELIX uses a 0.92-gallon three-layer AeraPure disposable filter bag.
The large capacity provides convenient bagged cleaning, while a hygiene cap closes the opening during bag removal to help prevent collected dust from escaping.
31-Foot Power Cord
The FELIX includes a 31-foot power cord with a rotating quick-release cord hook.
This provides substantial cleaning reach without requiring frequent outlet changes and allows the cord to be quickly unwound when cleaning begins.
Instant-Use 6-Foot Suction Hose
An integrated 6-foot hose is always available for above-floor cleaning.
Simply remove it from the housing to clean furniture, corners and crevices. Optional SEBO attachments can also be fitted directly to the hose.
An optional nine-foot extension hose can increase the total hose length to approximately 15 feet, making stair cleaning easier.
Detachable Portable Vacuum
The FELIX power head can be completely removed from the suction unit.
Once detached, the main vacuum body can be carried using its side handle and used as a powerful portable vacuum for stairs, upholstery, automobile interiors and other areas where a full upright floor head is unnecessary.
Three-Level Adjustable Handle
The handle adjusts through three positions to accommodate different user heights and provide more compact storage.
The adjustable handle is also useful when the suction unit is detached and being used as a portable vacuum.
Automatic Brush-Obstruction Protection
If an object jams the ET-1 brush roller, a red warning light flashes and the brush automatically stops.
This protects the belt, brush motor and flooring from unnecessary damage caused by cords, socks and other obstructions.
Brush Height and Wear Warning
A red indicator also alerts the user if the brush height is set too high or if the brush roller has reached excessive bristle wear.
This helps maintain effective carpet agitation over the life of the vacuum.
Tool-Free Brush-Roll Removal
Hair and thread inevitably wrap around powered vacuum brush rollers over time.
SEBO designed the ET-1 brush roller for tool-free removal, making routine cleaning and eventual replacement considerably easier.
Low 6-Inch Cleaning Profile
The FELIX can recline to an approximately 6-inch profile, helping the power head reach beneath beds, tables and many other pieces of furniture.

SEBO FELIX vs. SEBO DART
The FELIX and DART share the excellent ET-1 power head and similar basic upright architecture, but the FELIX adds several premium features.
The FELIX provides 180-degree swivel steering, variable suction control, an adjustable handle and a dedicated parquet brush. The DART omits these features in favor of a simpler and lower-priced design.
