Hi! I recently found these nice vacuums. I own many years ago the same type Fakir 350 vacuum. I think itīs a semi professional model from early 1970īs. Best Regards Markus

Fakir... I may be totally wrong, but I believe that is the same machine sold here as a Regina Brush and Beat upright, they also used the head as a power nozzle on there canisters in the early 70s. | ||

More great finds Markus
You are doing very well at the moment and at such good prices :)
The Fakir has a resemblence to the Electrolux 152/160/170, although with a bag of course rather than a hard box. Do you know of any connection with Electrolux. I think Hans too has spotted the resemblence too as we have discussed how like the Lux the Regina model was. What is the brushroll like please? Is it perhaps a single brush strip on one side with a single beater bar on the other? From the label on the Hoover portable I am guessing that it may have started life in the UK. We had only three models here to my knowledge. The first was identical to yours only in a pale green colour scheme. This is very rare indeed although I think that SeamusUk has one. There are two varities of the brown and pumpkin type - like yours with no self winding cord (I have one the same) and the other with a self winding cord is is actually a more practical style as I find with mine the cores inside the cord tend to get twisted up. The Miele seems to have been a very long lasting model (although stick vacuums seem to be much more common in Europe than here) - the crop up on ebay here quite often (always in pale green) although I have no recollection ever seeing them in a shop on sale. Recently there was one with a power nozzle, the first time I have seen that arrangement - usually they just have the standard floor tool, a competitor for Vorwerk perhaps. Great new finds, thank you for sharing them with us Al | ||

You have shown us very many interesting cleaners, would you mind thanking the time to upload some pictures on your collection please as it would be great to be able to see then without having to search through the archive threads. The link to do this is on the Vacuumland home page. Once uploaded you then ask Fred S (web master) if he will put a link in the collections page - I hope you will be able to make time to do this - it would be a great addition to the site Al | ||

Fakir Hi all anyone know if the Fakir Vacuum is or was sold in the UK, I would love one to replace my SEBO as a daily run-a-round. I have a Fakir polisher thats built like a tank but I've never seen a vacuum here | ||

The Miele S142/43 was sold at John Lewis and House of Frasers tail end of the 1990s. I remember them well as I often wished I could have one and they were only available in mint green. Eventually I did get "The Alternative," as Miele called it here in the UK and I still have it and use it from time to time. It's okay but the newer bags are much better than the old IntensiveClean as dust has a habit of either falling down and clogging the main dust channel or just falls out anyway even if the rubber outlet piece in the dust channel is there to stop dust from falling out.
Also Miele UK used to sell an extension flexible hose that you could use with this stick vac but it is now very rare to get hold of.

That hose, I wonder why Meile don't use that bent wand on their cylinder cleaners any more. I have not seen that in years. | ||

Here's the Aussie take on the Fakir and Philips upright, it was marked in OZ under the General Electric brand, I have posted it here in the past so sorry for if you have seen it before, but it a great little machine Wonder how many other brands they where made under. Mark
