I just saw the movie "The Butler" tonite . It showed a vintage red Fairfax vacuum with power Nozzel bring used to clean the red carpet in one of the main hallways of the White House! |

I have never been in contact with a Fairfax. What are they all about? Are they still around? do they work well? Do they have a bag? |

Chandler, Fairfax is still around but not being produced much. It was a door to door brand until about 10 years ago. The man who ownes it now has a website where he still keeps the company going. Look up Eco vacuum or something like that (based out of the Dallas tx area). a new unit is like $2300 but if you talk with him over the phone he is very easy to work with. Fairfax is one of my favorite machines and at one time we had a big dealer here so they are pretty common in these parts. They do use a bag and filters but can also be used for wet pick up and also steam cleaning.

I remember a salesman got a picture in Electrolux news of delivering 40 CBs to a military base about 1982.There would have been a discount for certain quantities and might have been a bidding procedure with certain required specs. |
