Everyone,

 

     I choose "fairfaxclass" as my name because it is one of my favorite machines.  It is also the only one I bought new from the manufacturer.   I did buy my Avalir new in box, but it was from a guy who got them from a defunct dealer.  Anyhoo, earlier in 2018 I got my Fairfax "A Touch of Class" SCPD7 and made a video unboxing it.  I still need to run my full performance reviews.  No, I did not pay the price listed at the website.

Great that these machines are still surviving!!!Retro is REALLY WHAT WORKS!!!!and does well.This vacuum should last a VERY long time compared to the others out there.Since this vacuum has a 3 pin grounded cord-it would be legal under OSHA regs to use commercially-and also with the full bypass motor.How long is the cord?How did you get the Wessel nozzle and the upgraded motor?

Tolivac,

 

     About the three prong cord, Fairfax sells an optional 5 gallon bottom and extra large bags just for that!  The cord is 50 feet.  He said he could shorten it if I wanted.

 

     As for the upgrades, I spoke with the owner over email for a bit, asking about this and that.  He special ordered the better motor and carries the EBK 360 as an upgrade.  The owner, George, is very friendly.  She cleans like a dream!  I recommend using Silverking hepa disks instead of the cellulose disks if you can find them.

I looked at the prices on their website-the Fairfax is offered with or without the shampoo attachment.$2300,2500 is too much for me.At least with a DTD salesman you can dicker with prices.It doesn't look like you can dicker on the website-you take it or leave it.For now--will leave it.For the prices shown I can get TWO Kirbys or TWO outfitted NSS M1's!The Fairfax is a nice vacuum-but the prices are just too high.Not competive with other premium vacuums.

Don't pay attention to the prices. You want to communicate with the owner. I didn't pay that price.

It's a very nice looking machine! I like that hose, pistol grips are a rarity on electric hoses these days.

Blackheart,

 

     A simple pistol grip is a lot better in my hands than a lot of the "fancy" grips in my book.
