I paid nearly $3,000 for my rainbow in 2013. Hate the price but love the product. It's still going strong. Tackles every job with ease. I feel like this thing is going to last forever.

I've had the same Rainbow vacuum for over 30 years and I absolutely LOVE it! I get my Rainbow vacuum serviced every few years and my 30 year old vacuum still has the best suction ever. I've retrieved jewelry dropped down drains, cleared clogged dains, sucked up every possible wet mess there is and I would not trade my Rainbow for any other vacuum cleaner. My husband bought mine at my request for an engagement gift; he was shocked that I didn't ask for jewelry or whatever. No better vacuum than Rainbow!

Great for basic plumbing as well. Used suction/blower on sink and shower to unclog.

I LOVE my rainbow vacuum!!! Had for years!!! It is so worth the price!!!

This vaccum was expensive as hell, but definitely worth it! Lol I am VERY frugal so for me to say its worth its price is HUGE! I love it! I'm allergic to EVERYTHING so its great!

My father in law bought one of these in 2011 and never used it. This is still in the original shipping box. We opened it and are now using it. We put it against our 25 year old Miele and it actually won.

My parents bought their Rainbow at least 35 years ago (my dad said it's closer to 40) and the main carpet beater just conked out yesterday (June 8, 2024), the motor on the Rainbow unit is fine. My dad now 91 years old told me they've never had to get it serviced, but I did have to replace the hose once a few years ago.

My Dad still uses his Rainbow that is as old as me (40)! Crazy!! But best thing ever

The HUGE ADVANTAGE of the Rainbow is that bugs, fleas, bug eggs, spiders, are DEAD IN THE WATER!! I've had my Rainbow for almost 30 years and it still runs! I got a deeper water tank so I don't have to fill it up as much as the smaller water tanks. Also, I used to have expensive Kirby's and Electroluxs and the motors all died. You have to get the vacuum bags all the time and all it does is filter out the bigger dirt particles and makes it go out the other end as smaller dust particles. That's why the filters smell so bad. You just redistribute the dirt to go out the other side of the filter and it still gets back into your carpets, floors, nose , air. When you suck up the dirt in the Rainbow, all the dirt, the mud, the dust gets trapped in the water filter and it doesn't go out the other end. No more accumulated flea eggs, spiders, ants, bugs etc. They instantly drown, so you don't have to worry that they will crawl out of your vacuum to go back into your home!!! I love the concept.

Great video we need more those vacuum cleaners

Just bought ours a few weeks ago, and we love it!!!🥰

I just bought myself one of these for my birthday. I’ve wanted one for years. My dad refurbished one from a dumpster find when I was a kid, and it was the coolest vacuum ever. We’d put a splash of fabric softener in the water, so it made the entire house smell like fresh laundry. I’m so excited!

Sat through the in-home presentation. Fatalistically premium product. really. Totally worth it just for the entertainment...and the 'free, no obligation' room sanitizer. Then, of course, the final question: how much. $3995. But...the famous, "today" discount, $200 credit if I give him my old vacuum, another $200 credit if I post on social media, my contact list so they can solicit my friends and if they buy, I get $100 cash-back. Financing (thru 'outside' company) at 24%. Then they had the nerve to tell me it isn't a MLM-style company.

Owned since 1984 ,love it wouldn't use any other machine......love the fresh air.never a smelly moldy smell coming from old filters.n yes need to clean after each use....small chore for fabulous results.....

Oh man I love love the rainbow

Not gonna lie I got 2 of these vacuums and it was about 7100 for it and I was able to make payments on it and I love my rainbow! I use it every single day!!

I want one so cool!!

Very nice 😍

RAINBOW he is absolutely the BEST

i was so happy to find another vacuum on sale today. I feel like the rainbow really made cleaning a chore. It seems like a high quality unit with lots of useful features, I'll still use it as a blower and wet-vac, but these videos never tell you what you're supposed to do with the dirty, wet cat-hairball you're left with after the fact. really looking forward to dumping the collections from my new vacuum in the trash and moving on

My E2 Type 2 silver vacuum died on me after 16 years of use without cleaning the water separator (not aware until I found out in youtube). Before I throw it in the trash I decided to watch some YT videos and I found out that replacing parts is not hard. I went to Rainvac site and ordered parts. I end up replacing the motor & control board and now it running like a brand new again. I t cost me a little over $600 including small parts like wheels, cover that broke when I opened it, some clips, etc. I made my wife happy for making her vacuum works again.

I became a believer a long time ago when I was first introduced to Rainbow by chance. At the time I had been a die-hard fan of KIRBY which is still a good machine, but no match for the Rainbow. I was shocked how well the Rainbow E2 and D-4 spanked the competition. I always loved the water and I am a certified SCUBA Diver as well; I was pleasantly impressed with the Rainbow water based filtration system. Simply put: wet dirt doesn't fly! Yes there are a few more steps with Rainbow in comparison-like dumping out the water and cleaning out the tank... who wants to live in a filthy environment? I purchased the old D-4 which is a great choice. I have the bigger tank, you should invest in a bigger tank too. My old D-4 has proven to be the most amazing vac ever! My house has never been cleaner. The amount of filth this Rainbow D-4 is amazing. I have two dogs and they can't help it, they are always dragging in stuff with their paws. I'll never be without a dog or my D-4 Rainbow. When I use the Rainbow, I vac very, very slowly, so I can pick up the maximum dirt and filth by the pound, literally!!! What other system picks up dirt by the pound? Oh, the last KIRBY was donated to a charity re-sale store. No more KIRBY's for me, I'm a Rainbow fan for ever and you'll be one too. Make sure you get one or two of the little companion Rainmate, you'll love it. Sure it's an investment. Your investing in your family's health. Amortize the cost over 40 years, and you'll see your saving money: not having to by carpet so often. Not having to buy those cheap plastic vacuums from the big box store. Not having to get the carpets cleaned professionally once or twice or year, etc. I did a barefoot test myself. I cleaned and area with KIRBY, then alongside area I did the rainbow with the same amount of vacuum time. The Rainbow side of the carpet felt clean and fluffy-soft, better than new as a matter of fact. The other side done with the KIRBY, not so much. You can feel the difference. Then I dumped the Rainbow's tank just to see for my self what would happen if I went over the KIRBY'S area with a clean water supply in the Rainbow. KIRBY left all the dirt for some reason??? Rainbow picked up so much filth, I actually felt sorry for the KIRBY. KIRBY you gotta go! Rainbow saved the day and from that moment on, it's Rainbow for me! Don't be fooled, do your own tests and you'll see for yourself. Rainbow will win every time. You'll love Rainbow as much as I do.

I have one and it is a great machine

I had bought mine in the 70s and loved it work great .. I don't know about how well the new ones work ?

I bring my rainbow vacuum to the beach to inflate beach balls. And to vacuum sand off my beach blanket. It’s a miracle.

Are rainbow is a bought 20 years old and all I have ever had to do was buy a 10$ belt for the floor head. I don’t regret are purchase

I have an older model and the older carpet cleaner which gave out and cannot get parts for. Did he say that the Pro Lux rug cleaner fits even older models or just all the newer models?

Do you have a video or link to parts for a rainbow E series, purchased in 2018, to replace the hose end that goes into the machine. One of my side tabs broke off.

What attachment are you using to clean your sofa to pickup pet hair? I have a e2 type 12

I have just purchased a used E2 should the lower speed "churn" the water? Because this one is barely sucking in any air at that speed? Sounds like a jet taking off in the other speed.

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.

Hellow can I ask a question?What happen to my rainbow vaccum if I put into higher speed it turns off the power and doesn’t work but if put it in lower speed its working.What happen and what should I do?..

Maybe you can help me. My e series is spinning, and functioning, but exactly backwards. It's blowing out the intake and sucking in the side that should be blowing up an air mattress. Suggestions?

Hi. You mentioned air purifier. I would like to eliminate humidity inside the house. Is there a way to do this with the rainbow Vacuum?ty

Ok I have a major request... can you do a carpet. Cleaning review on the sirenna vs rainbow. Kind of like a cleaning olympics to show us which is best? There’s videos of people vacuuming with one and the other ride behind but that’s idiotic. Can we get an honest side by side comparison as consumers please lol

What is the attachment for shag rugs? Vacuuming??

Does it also do dry cleaner

I bought the Rainbow vacuum from 2015 in Hong Kong, but I never know how to clean the carpet during I haven't in HK. However, last year I moved in UK, Would you please help to advise demo for me. Also how to use the sprayer cleaning the window. Thanks

Can this clean up my girlfriends attitude

when the low speed it turns on and off every 1-2 minutes. what could be causing that? Full speed works fine.

I have had my for sence 1961lovd it

I have a 3 year old rainbow and love it. I was given a rainmate when I bought the rainbow. My rainmate has been sitting for a year and now its totally dead. I cleaned the fan following a KZfaq video but still nothing. The led lights come on but thats all. Think this is fixable or will I just need to purchase another one if I want a working one??

Does the exhaust vent cover stay on while using the rainbow?

Do you sell used aquamate attachment? I have the E2 model It is the first 2 speed model.

Do u have to put water in it to use it as a vacuum or clean furniture

Omg I never knew I could use it to dust

1:30 woah how amazing, like every other vaacum ...

where and what do you call on the device u attached to shampoing carpet?

Can this work as a steamer?

How to fix rainbow vacuum no air coming out even thou it’s functioning and no red light. Thank you for any ideas.

They dor the job.

Im lucky to own one

Did anyone ever use a Ocean Blue? This was made after Rainbow. It works just like this but came with extra stuff. It was 2k so, I couldn't afford one but it took sand out of carpet that was cleaned. The sand would be per sand. Just put a panty hose in-between your vac parts u'll see what your picking up that your vacuums leave behind..yes even shark and Dyson...

My shampoo is not extracting? Any ideas? every once in a while i will see it pulling water but its definatly glitchy

How do I remove the separator and flange to clean them?

We tend to fill our basin of water over the suggested amount. When only filling it to the top of the dome, we were refilling it every day. Filling it more gets a few days at least. No messes or spills. Is this a bad idea? Will it hurt our machine?

Do you have any Minnesota locations?

I myself am a Rainbow dealer that is what I do for a living I sell them we highly recommend people do not buy rainbow vacuums from anybody but the Rainbow industry themselves as we provide a ten year warranty. Also the Rainbow system will not work affectively if you do not have the rainbow attachments that shampooer is not meant for the rainbow that piece that you used on the couch also it’s not meant for the rainbow all of the dry attachments are complete free with your purchase you could also get all the wet attachments completely for free very easily. Also you take all those things that you had listed if someone didn’t know about them they did not buy them from Rainbow dealer that is what makes the rainbow not just good but amazing

Where do I find the mini vacuum attachment

We’ve had our rainbow for 8 years now and we love it so much but it needs dome TLC. Where can we get it serviced?

My vacuum hose is starting to have a smell. Can I wash out my hose with dawn dish soap? And let it air dry?

Why would the Rainbow se does not seal correctly? It is properly filled with water but it spits the water from the pan. Almost like it does not seal correctly. What can I do?

Can I use the power nozzle onto hardwood floors?

Can the old SE be used as air purifier?

If you didn't know this, the person who gave you the demo did not know the Rainbow to start with. All who give a demo in your house should know how the cleaning system works and what else it can do.

My carpet attachment brushes do not turn, nor does the light come on but it has vacuum. What could be wrong?

Shampooer is sold separately for $500.

#2 - Is that bodily fluid?

How do I clean the grout

I just seen a vacuum that will dry your hair (Revair). Will rainbow do that? If it does I rather pay more money and get the extra feature.

Does running the air purifier help with pet hair?

Kirby is best! Do the salt test on Rainbow.....

0:59 but no cat litter, plaster dust, flour etc ...

I’ve used as an air purifier

how can I sell my old rainbow vacuum . I seldom used it

Why do the hose goes out?

Hi Great Vacs. Kindly show us how to change or clean the hepa filter. I just bought the Rainbow SRX and I am checking all the parts of the machine for my own peace of mind and to know that everything is intact. I am hoping for your quick response.

I am able to take the nut off the separator but the separator is stuck on. How do I remove it to clean?

After you clean with the rainbow, what do you do with the dirty water?

Anyone know what is the problem why our vacuum can't close the lid?

I’m shocked (in a pleasant way) to learn a vacuum will pick up hair. Never knew that.

What I didn’t know I could use it with an air sprayer

can i detailing a car seats?

question for rainbow six users. Girlfriend just got one and in the lowest air purification setting it makes a high pitch sound. Anyone have this issue?

Truth is they actually are pretty bad ass... they use water as a filter then you just dump it in the toilet and flush it. but dont forget because if you do all the moisture will get up into the motor then you just fucked up a very expensive unit my dad and i used to fix these back in the 1980s for my uncles dealer store and 100% of the time when they go bad thats the reason

Would the air purifier eliminate the smoke smell from a used RV??

Still using a rainbow from the 80s

First 1 blow dust around why not vacuum the dust etc

#3 air purifying mode, you didn't mention how to use it

I can't get my vacuum to adjust floor levels

Me and my wife tried selling them as a side job about 25 years ago. They were assholes. They wanted use to sell the customer stuff they did not need plus it’s a big pyramid scam

Are you located in California

#6 Empty your bank account.

Yes a Rainbow cleans pet hair rather well... but pet hair clogs drains, even toilet drains. I found out the hard way. It takes a while but per hair builds up in the toilet drain traps over time until one day you have an emergency clog that requires a professional. Warning if you buy a rainbow and own a pet that sheds... you better find a way of disposing of the filthy water. Dump it outside? Fine if you live in a house with a yard but not practical if you live in a hi rise.

Actually I knew about number one

Mine is about four years old and the suction is pathetic. I really regret buying this machine.

Can I use my rainbow to remove water from a flooded basement? Rizwi faizer

Way to expensive it is 3200 is should be about a thousand.

What purpose does the water in the tank do?
