I sold Rainbows door to door in the 80’s - you took a new machine in and demoed it on customers furniture rugs - and occasionally mattress. I never had to put one back in the box….

I have one and I love how it picks up! I have a cat and I was shocked at how much hair was in the carpet even after my June 2023 carpet cleaning treatment. It's expensive but it will be the last floor vacuum, carpet vacuum, carpet cleaner, and air purifier I will need for a very long time

I have a rainbow D4, solid machine, definitely old school but still picks up just as well

I'm glad you mentioned cleaning the separator and inlets after each use...this will keep your machine looking new....My gold 2 speed bought in 2006 looks almost just like it came out of the box... and I've used it a LOT overt the years. I agree with comment below. The black rainbow was the best model of all of them (so far)...with the blue and gold 2 speed being a close second.

I have one i bought 2nd hand in 1990. I works like a champ at over 30 years old!

bought my rainbow back in the 90's it still runs like it was new out of the box!!! i would never give it up. yea these things are not cheap but the reliability is there it might be the only vac that you have to buy unlike the junk in the box stores. i had mine suck the drapes right out of the wall rod and all 🤣😂, so yea they suck!!!

I hear the new power nozzle does not agitate as well as the previous version, but since the airflow channels are narrow, it concentrates the suction and airflow m.

We purchased a rainbow not even a full year ago. I had one for 2 days before it started making a strange noise. I was able to return it and get a new one. I have loved it so much. A few days ago, this one started making a loud noise. I have cleaned the parts that it says clean but the noise is only getting worse. What should I do

Which Rainbow vacuum would you recommend? I just had a demo of the SRX today. But it's $4000 Canadian. I found a few on Facebook Marketplace a lot cheaper. But I'm not sure which model I should be looking for? Thank for your help

Hi nice vacuum! It uses water! Great video, I watched your videos on the Danby portable washer with the old school agitator, those videos where really help full ! I've seen on the internet some places still have at model Danby washer you have !

They do work good but it is like hauling around a shop vac through your house. And you have to take it apart, fill the tub with water, put it back together then pull it around the house. We like ours but pretty much never use it. We bought a Ryobi cordless stick vacuum and love it. You just grab it and walk around the house cleaning. Not cords or huge vacuum to pull around. When we finish vacuuming with the Ryobi, I charge the battery (which takes about 2 hours) and put it back on the vacuum and it is ready to go for the next time I want to use it. And I can clean the entire 2,400 sf house on just 1 charge.

I bought my Rainbow in 1990. I just bought a new one ans traded the old one in for the mopping attachment!!

I guess I just can't get over the "suction reduction' issue. But older models also had low water lift but a lot of airflow and dd well with it too. I just hoped Rexair would have kept with the Rainbow being as powerful as it was in the previous model. I definitely still love my E2 Black

I miss my old Rainbow. One time I had it sitting (running) on top of the toilet to reach the bathroom walls. It tipped over sideways but kept running fine. That was a bit scary.

I have a question since we both have the older model and this new model…thus the cleaning solution staff on this can be applied / on the older vacuum???? Appreciate the reply.

How do you go about cleaning out the bowl after vacuuming? Do you need to strain out the debris or something in a sink???

I know this is crazy but my neighbor two doors down just moved and put the se model on the side of the road I did notice it has one bottom clip broken but I like the video of air purifier I hope to see more tutorials on the older models this thing has so many attachments and on wand is powered one is not but no carpet cleaner thanks for the info

I have a rainbow e2 series vacuum cleaner (blue). It is excellent, the suction power is the same as when it was bought 15 years ago, however, the parts are a little worn, they are quite fragile. Now I need your advice, should I buy SRX or should I buy rainbow e2 series (black)? Because the suction power is important to me, and I see that the SRX goes up to 60, while the others go up to 80. Practicality is not so important to me because this one is also practical for me, even if I have to change the brush and hoses when I want to vacuum the floor, as I see that with the e2 (black) and SRX models, you only need to replace the brush. Thanks in advance!

How / where do you dispose of the dirty water? Also on vacuum hose what is the lever for on handle? Thanks

Most Expensive Excrement I Have Ever Purchased! I used to have the gold model from the late 1980s. It was fantastic! Sadly it was given away so I wasn't able to have it refurbished.😭 Based on that, I decided to get the new one about 2 years ago. I bought it locally and not online. I was able to speak with someone about it. He convinced me that I didn't need the extra large water tank like my old one had or any of the attachments the old one came with because the new one was more modernized. Since I had such great memories of the old Rainbow, I decided to go ahead and get the new one. WASTED MONEY! The new one is so subpar to the old one. Here's why you should steer clear of this machine: 1. There is no option for a larger water tank which my big house really needs based on occupancy. 2. The hose can not be reversed and cleared of clogs. 3. The only way to keep the beater bar going is to constantly pull a finger trigger which is VERY uncomfortable especially with arthritis. 4. The wheel assembly is built onto the bottom of the motor with only a hinge allowing for removal of the water tank. This means there is no way use a larger tank even if one is made available. 5. The opening of the water tank is so small that the sludge made from the dirt and water has a difficult time coming out. I have to use my hand to remove most of it. 😡 6. The suction is ok but still leaves particles in the carpet. The old one did not. 7. The weight isn't that bad unless you have stairs. 8. Can't speak too much about the durability because mine is only about 2. 9. The price was pretty steep; over $3+K. I also have an Electrolux that is also too small and does a similar job but only cost $200 about 6 years ago. The only good thing about this vacuum is that IF you have any bugs ( fleas, spiders, roaches, etc.) they will drown in the water. Not a great selling feature.

So instead of dirt going into a bag it goes into water?

I love mine.

Cool

A match up between the new redesigned power nozzle vs the gray power nozzle it replaced would be great.

Would you recommend purchasing this to replace an E2 Gold?

Portugal 🇵🇹 🙌 rainbow

Kerner or SRX?

3:58 All 4 speeds can be used when using the SRX as an air purifier.

Totally random question here. What is the name of the song/music at 5:27? Thanks!

Do you know of any uprights that use water filtration that are effective?

So, if you're cleaning with water doesn't the carpet feel wet after using it??

Obrigado.

I love that the latest SRX went back to the PN12 design that was used on the E2 Black, those do have better airflow at the head (and I love those rotating edge cleaning brushes) compared to that oddball designed powerhead that almost looked like a PN2/PNe design. Though I'm not a fan of how the SRX has identical water lift levels to a vintage D series (Seriously Rexair, that's quite a downgrade!), I do believe the predecessor, E2 Black is the superior model.

Just got mine today..good god the dust and stuff on the bed and sofa being sucked..

Where do you empty the canister?

I’m worried about the durability. I’ve owned an older model. If I’m going to have to baby this thing I’m not interested. I’ll be dragging it around the driveway to vacuum my car. Four speed motor? Sounds like more to go wrong so every time I go to use it I’ll have to fumble with power level switches instead of a simple on off type switch. Lastly, my last concern is with all these electrical changes and updates is repair. At some point down the road I’m sure we’d all agree it will need repair. How easy will this be down the road for a home owner to do DIY repair jobs?

Good?

I wish they could compare the older SRX power nozzle with the new one.

This vacuum is great. Except it's too big for small units , you need a large storage space e to store it when not in use. 😢

Question… where is the appropriate place to dispose the nasty water?! I grew up with my dad dumping it in the gutter 😅

I have been a real fan of Rainbow Vacuum cleaners over the years. However, there are two glaring negatives that would absolutely keep me from ever purchasing the SRX: 1. The low suction and 2. The stupidly designed power head! Give me an older model any day of the week!

And although they don’t have much airflow or suction at the power nozzle, they still manage to pull out a ton of embedded dirt and fur. My SRX out-performed my Kirby Sentria II by a landslide. Also, these are about to go up to $5100!!! 😮

i love the air filtration it has, but i hate the roll behind design. cleaning houses you want to leave lines on the carpet. I have to pick this up and hold it while walking backwards. the hose is just long enough to get in the way of we walking while doing this. the weight of the hose on the handle makes it to where you have to adjust it just so that it doesnt fall over. also, when you go to pull it to advance in your vacuuming, it doesnt track well and tends to run into tables and the like (which isnt good if they are antiques, or have fragile items on them). id rather get a shark for the vacuum, and a rainmate knockoff for air filtration.

....is that a wooden dowl roller brush?

Forbidden soup.

It's all about the airflow! More or less suction doesn't make it better or worse at cleaning!

I can send you some real pet hair in encrusted rugs

Its a cool vacuum i just dont like the sleazy pyramid skeem they come with. Make sure to adk your friend for the 3 hour demo and maybe you can have 12 of your couple friends that we can show it to so they may buy one and you will get it for free. Sounds alot like every other llm😂😂😂😂😂😂

The best Rainbow vacuum ever made was the D2. They went downhill with every model since

It is just not worth the price that selling it for. Buy a used one.

عادية وغالية ندمت اشتريتها بهذا السعر👎🏻
