I had one of these when they first came out about a decade ago. It worked really well and I had it for 5-6 years before I decided to sell it and get my first Miele. I kept the filters washed and the bin emptied. So it always performed good as new for me. I used it to vacuum all flooring...

When will these be available to buy? What does it cost? I’m excited for it because I’d love a bagged HEPA cordless upright with an onboard hose.

I’m glad Ray could help you out! Power and performance wise, how do you feel the new Lux compared to the C3?

It will gather a line or pile of dust along the dust brush bristles but it won’t pick up. The upright does better. The turbo tool I was describing above was the canister vacuum floor tool. The tangle free turbine for upholstery is useless for cat hair for me. The static electricity causes hair...

I agree, Joe. In my experience they’re OK with low pile carpet and smooth floors. Tool use with a Dyson upright is exhausting because the hose recoil is ridiculous. I think the concept of the design is smart, but it’s not as user friendly in action. If one has pets, a turbo floor tool will not...

You’re right! It would. I am giving thought to it. Lol 😆

I think the Kloveland’s point was to discuss what vacuums are on our wish lists that we may get with the stimulus, not the stimulus itself. I’d love a Guardian Platinum again. But it would take a bit more than the stimulus to get one new.

Call Ray Satterwhite at 1-866-343-0909. He owns Aerus of Richmond VA and gave me a lower price for the Guardian Platinum than the prices above. I don’t live near there, he shipped it to me.

I’ve gave some thought to getting a renewed Kirby Avalir.

I like the idea of this for quick clean ups. I’m not sure I’d use the handheld mode since it’s a dry filter only. I remember HSN sold this not too long ago. The Kalorik canister had my eye too. But I haven’t owned either one.

Sounds like I dodged a bullet by getting a refurbished Rainbow. I measured the water to just above the dome, and only added 3 drops of scent. I didn’t squeeze the bottle at all, just let gravity pull them out. Happy to say no foaming. Lol. It still provided a noticeable scent. Glad to have...

I’ll measure things out to your specifications when I use it next. I keep meaning to look up more about the essential oils thing. I can’t remember exactly what about them does something now. I would be upset if something happened to either of mine. I’ve got to remember to vacuum off their...

It looks like a combination of the Air Ram 2 and a now discontinued corded Shark powerhead vacuum. Does it perform comparable to a lightweight vacuum like Oreck or Riccar?

I’m using a Rexair scent. From what I’ve seen on RainVac it is not an essential oil. That’s probably one reason I have the issue with foaming. I plan to use Slightly less water and far less scent stuff next time. I’ll get it figured out eventually. I’ve spent this week working on college...

This is the first Rainbow I’ve owned. My family passed one around in the 90s but my dad only got ahold of it once and I couldn’t remember much about it. It’s been exciting seeing all the stuff it cleans up. And it’s even more exciting to know it’s out of my home! And of course it’s thought...
