Moving your Fakir Flight Canister across the floor, the first thing you will notice is there isn’t any noise coming from the soft over molded wheels passing across your hardwood floor. A soft pull on the cord releases and holds the cord to the length desired to reach across the space to be cleaned or extend it the full 25 feet to permit movement from room to room. As soon as the power goes on you will notice the performance difference designed into the Fakir motor. The speed control feature allows you to adjust the power to the level necessary for effecive cleaning. From your finest oriental rug to sheer draperies, the speed control gives you just enough power to meet your needs. Even with the Fakir Flight’s speed control adjusted to its full 1400 watts, you will hardly notice the quiet 67 db canister. You are more likely to hear the powerful air stream than the vacuum. The 360 degree hose connection coupled with the over molded wheels and front quiet running swivel caster lets the Flight canister move over both hard floors and carpet with minimum effort.
