X Series differences:
The X series features three models. The X4, X4 Extra and the X5. Both of the X4 models have a 12" cleaning path while the X5 has a wider 15" cleaning path. The X4 Extra, along with the standard accessories, comes with an extension hose and a hand held turbobrush.
Felix differences:
All of the Felix vacuums are the same except if you want to keep the color consistant across the vacuum the 15" power head only comes in white to match up with the Ice Blue model. Additionally the hard floor buffer does not come in the classic color scheme.
Canister Vacuums
The two canister series are based on size. The C series is the larger model that features the tools on board. On the K models the tools are stored on top.
Within each series the models will come with one of three different floor tools and may also include a parquet tool. The combo tool is a tool that will work on both hard floors and light carpeting. The Turbo tool is an air driven carpet tool and the motorized tool is powered by the motor of the vacuum to provide superior carpet cleaning. The parquet tool is only used to clean hard floors.
