He was a gentle soul. I had some good times when he came to visit. Some nice memories and fun times.

77 Air-Way Jeff, got to go with the 77 Air-Way. Just because of my age, that was the first vacuum I remember then coming around door-to-door selling. It seemed like like 1/2 of our town had Air-ways back in those days. I was excited when they brought that new color 77 in the house. Of course...

Thanks for sharing Charlie. I believe that is the model (or close to it) that my grandmother owned. She so much preferred her Electrolux. I remember that Kirby script on the bag. I can almost smell the dust when you started her up-haha. Fun to see the old stuff working today.

Price is right! You are right on with the price. It WAS a lot of money. My parents was bought in 1972. Still have it. If I ever get it to Jeff Parker, he is going to do a little work on it for me. Now let's see you in the matching shorts!

Les, that is interesting about the wessel werk power nozzle . I only used one and I did not like it at all. Yours may have been a different design but the one I used did not have an adequate rug guard. It damaged 2 diffferent rugs edges and it was way too aggressive for my older style rugs. It...

how mine works There is a solution bottle you fill with water and a cap full of cleaning solution. When you release the trigger on the hose handle, it POWER sprays a fine mist on the floor. Now you use the sponge side to apply and scrub any spots. Next you "flip over" the tool to the squeegee...

Using the Rainjet makes taking care of Laminate floors so easy. It is small, lightweight and gets under and around furniture and appliances so easy. With the full sponge you clean your baseboards as the do the floor. It uses an amazingly small amount of cleaner liquid. I do my dry vacuuming...

I love it when we find even "small" innovations put in place by a company that makes the product MORE convenient and is not done solely to cut costs. I had to get a new "squeegee" after 12 years of use on rough cement. I noticed the change in the new tool so the sponge can now easily replaced...

what other cleaner looks this clean after 12 years? Here is a thought. After 12 years of use my Rainbow, I had mine out today and you can see it is just as clean and sanitary as the first day it went into use. It does take a little longer to set up but when you think about it, we use water...

I have owned my Rainbow for over 12 years. It has proven to be dependable and it does what they claim. If used exclusively, you will notice almost no dusting. I like the shampoo unit. Never any odor in use. To me it is a little more trouble to use (same with any canister-you have assemble and...

I failed to answer your question. It uses the air flow and suction of the Rainbow to dry the floor with just one swipe of the squeegee side. The dirty water is sucked into the Rainbow basin. With this operation, you start with a EMPTY water basin. It also comes with a second head that swivels...

It power sprays as you hold the hand trigger down. Both the main tube and the sponge/squeegee rotate. You control the flow and amount of cleaning solution. You can do a small area in nothing flat and never touch or mess with any dirty water or solution. 2 fillings of the solution tank will fill...

Using the Rainbow today to dry vacuum, shampoo carpets and then wet mop the laminate floors. I enjoy the mop attachment as it uses so little cleaning solution and both the handle and the FLIP-OVER mop/squeegee head are designed to get under and into small places and under the counters. I do...

You are right Jimmy! Just think of how Electrolux had it RIGHT when they designed the 1950s E machine with the new flip over tool and the combo dusting brush and sofa tool. They had a good design with the easy to change no spill bag and so did Air-Way with their Sani-bags and well designed...

If you have wool carpet , braided rugs or wool hook rugs that CANNOT and SHOULD NOT be cleaned with a revolving brush try this little trick. I still have the original rug tool that came with the Rainbow Rexair models A,B. It was a wonderful simple design with a pivoting head. The tool remains...
