That Rainbow got Baptized before it went to the Pastor!! 😂

Wow, that Rainbow seems like arriving at a solution using the _absolutely_ most convoluted, complicated way possible.

Excellent tutorial.🙌🏼 I don’t dare to wash with the pail of water like u did cause I’m a scaredy-cat. But I kept watching till the end and your video is awesome. You surely are patient and know very well what u r doing. Thank you so much for sharing. You truly have helped me. I am going to do that maintenance to my unit which happens to b the same u did, and also am going to replace the on-off switch. Blessings to you and your family!👍🏼👏🏼

That cleaning method is sweet and I will do it on my next rainbow. I've noticed messing and cleaning the fan is a pain. This does it more effecient and doesn't hurt the fan.

This was the absolute best video I have watched so far!!! Seriously!! Thank you so much.

Dammn, that rainbow logo has That iconic 70’s look

Looks like a new rainbow ,,, good job 👍

That is the best and strongest vacuum I have ever used. I have a miele as well and it's a good backup, but when it comes to suction there is no comparison,, Mine is over 15 years old and as strong as the day I bought it. also, the dust is absorbed in the water and no dust blows anywhere

So interesting to see the inside of one of these. They pop up frequently on Marketplace in my area. I always contemplate on picking one up, but the main problems I’ve come across are people running them without water or failing to clean them out properly. They got the nickname “Mud Pot” for a reason. Nearest vac repair store is 3hrs away so I can’t justify having someone else repairing such a machine lol. Neat setup with the water basin trap, but a bagged machine like my Sebo Airbelt E3 is what I need/use to keep the allergens down.

This isn't a E2 type 12 black, this is the older e2 gold

I have a 2 speed rainbow vacuum that will not turn on, I have bypassed the bowl safety switch and the actual 2 speed switch and powered the board with a sui wire. The molex plug only has 13 volts coming out of it and the the two plugs that control the two speeds have no voltage, does this sound like a board problem? Thanks in advance.

Do you know if you can do the water cleaning method pouring water into the SRX rainbow

Пришлось на днях ремонтировать отломившийся/отгоревший наконечник быстросъемной вилки 110/220V в коннекторе турбо щетки. Взял pc molex mother, вставил в нее родной отгоревший штифт- наконечник (с доп проставкой в виде фрагмента 3 мм от медного одножильного кабеля 4мм кв.), село идеально т.к. у molex father как раз такой же внешний d=2.4 mm, сделал насечки на штифте и прихватил припоем, чтобы при вынимании не вытягивался наружу. В пластике коннектора чуть рассверлил побольше отверстие. Кабель от платы припаял (он и в оригинале припаян тупо, правда чем то тугоплавким (или добавки какие или свинца много). Коннектор (ранее разрезанный по шву ножом по периметру в верхней части) заклеил обратно клеем и перемотал изолентой. Вставился в посадочное отверстие только туговато, пришлось деревяшкой аккуратно забить.

How do you take down the rainbow se model? I just can´t take my vacum down

Did the crazy cleaning method. I took extreme caution to ensure water stayed where I wanted to go. WOW, The Kirby cake was more like Kirby barf, YUCK. The Rainbow E2 is clean. I found the complete Rainbow package in a thrift store for $35.00.

I have like five rainbows I also have a central vac can anybody guess what vacuum I prefer to use

Are the thick rubber motor/water pan gaskets actually glued to the fan chamber housing? I’m replacing the motor assembly on my e2 black. And the new motor does not have the gasket on it.

I have RAinbow Vac..that needs cleaning..but the company is in Georgia..not one in Tallahassee, Fla...

The toothbrush was to clean the separator fins.

The fan on mine won’t come off I’m afraid I’m gonna brake it tryito remove it

How do you remove power switch without breaking? My Rainbow won't start. So trying to replace that/

That circuit board is required because it’s a switches reluctance motor.

Hi, I need to know how changes the power switch

I do the same to all my vacuums and let them dry and they work like new after......

Are you allowed to review a Simplicity Jill? I’ve seen them selling online for as little as $145.00 and thought that they’d be great extra machines to have on hand.

I love Rainbows as collectible machines they are so quirky!. I wouldn't recommend one for daily use though

I’m so confused on how running water through a vacuum helps clean it out? When you do it with a regular vacuum, it dries out the bearing. Does it do the same with this?

But you don't show how you open up to top cover I can't figure out that's the most important thing

If you take the armature out and get it spinning and chalk it then 2 new motor brushes. That that hose would be topped out to 55

Well I flushed soapy water threw my d2 and its still going!

Rainbows are awesome, but I don’t get why people don’t bother to clean them. I know water filtration vacuums don’t need much maintenance, but it’s still very important to keep them clean.

you should see my moms. im trying to fix it, its disgusting inside and she says the motor seems stuck

Can you really do that to a rainbow? Meaning pour water with soap? How about overloading the basin with soapy water and let the vacuum suck it up

You're very brave to use this method of cleaning.. doesn't look safe at all.

That is NOT proper rainbow usage...

Ужас. Просто холтура!

I repaired rainbows for years, but before that I made my living demonstrating them in people’s homes, they were all very polite & nice people. So when you’re making a video of a very important investment they made, don’t go talking like it’s the worst machine made. Cuz you should go sell. It’s obvious you don’t appreciate the rainbow
