Our Verdict
SEBO FELIX
Dyson Ball Animal 3 Extra/Complete
The SEBO FELIX and the Dyson Ball Animal 3 Extra/Complete each have their own strengths. The SEBO provides a more premium user experience. It feels far better made, is easier to maintain, and makes less noise. Its included ET-1 powerhead also has handy touches like a thermal cutoff and brushroll wear indicator. In comparison, the Dyson delivers generally superior debris-pickup performance on most surfaces, but with the caveat of feeling cheap and creaky in use.
