I've seen a few of these in use usually to sweep large areas like banquet rooms or hallways in hotels.

Parts availability One thing to consider is Rainbow parts are super easy to find. If you want an extra separator or something it's something to keep in mind.

Extension hoses are fairly easy to find. You can modify them by carefully cutting them to replace the wand hose. If you find the bottom part of the hose assembly with a good cord hook or entire piece with a bad hose you can essentially make an entire new hose using them. I've done this multiple...

Wand break on a Fury? I've had dozens of these and never once encountered a broken wand but interesting to know. If anything they don't filter very well in the cyclones if you intend on using them take them apart periodically and clean the motor fan vanes with a pipe cleaner. Thunders are...

Apologize for the typos. Autocorrect does not like real words apparently.

Regina's downfall Was just looking at the shady dealings that lead to Regin's demise. The electrikbroom was a proven design and I think outside the shady dealings they could still spbe selling these now in the original state with merely updated cosmetics.

Bamboo one is serial 429

Well... It's actually a suction control. Bare floors is full suction, on rugs it diverts some air there is no stop so you can position it in the middle and have half suction, so it really is a power control. The bristles behind the suction opening on the bottom float on two springs. There is a...

The bamboo one has never been out of the box, it's still stapled on one side and someone opened the box and it ripped in the middle. The one with the weird nozzle it looks like someone just briefly tested it in the store so there is little dust in it either (that particular thrift store always...

Here is zoomed in on the nozzle. The photos were better resolution than what they came out after I uploaded. I'll get the serial #s up in a little while.

Well this is kind of crazy but I found two basically new Electrikbrooms at two different thrifts in a 4 day period. Thought I'd share them. My grandma used to have one similar in color to the tan one.

This is going to be hard to find. It was hard to find before Fantom went out of bussiness. I bought a wildcat at a Kmart that was closing back in 2001 before Fantom even closed for $7.99 brand new at 95% off on the last day. It was darn near impossible to get a bin. I found one after calling...

Mostly cleaned up I haven't done the powerhead yet since I'm going to order some new edge brushes. As far as warranty is concerned I worked at the local office and know the one manager so they'd probably warranty it for me. I'm going to call them and get the serial number switched so they have...

I cut them off when I toss a vac in case I get a vac that has a damaged cord.

Serial # 20200650 underneath that 111 I'm in the process of cleaning it now. It looks like it was hardly used and they put it in a shed or garage. Maybe buyer's remorse?

Was so stoked I didn't even look that closely at the powerhead. It works perfectly fine. It's actually internally clean only the external is really dirty, like someone stuffed it in a shed after a few months. I'm going to clean it tomorrow. Gonna call the distributor and have them put my name...

Just scored this Rainbow at Goodwill for $20! It works fine, it's just externally dirty like it was sitting in a shed. Cleanup will commence tomorrow.

They do run warm As a precaution take the motor and clean the fan vanes with a pipe cleaner. Make sure the lint clean out is clean.

They're not too uncommon in the Western NY area I still see them fairly often, they imported through here and there seems to be a disproportionately high number of them compared to elsewhere. I just bought another Fury a couple of weeks ago and a Thunder just last week. I have pretty much a...

Probably pricing pressure I doubt Sears really cares too much as to who makes the machine or it has anything to do with their current financial issues, remember they had private branded Fantoms back in the day. All they care about is profitability, it lasting through warranty, and selling...
