    Sirena refurb worth it? What about Quantum X?

    I don’t see them on Amazon any more, and the direct website is no longer active. I would have gotten one if it were still an option, especially because they did offer a mini power nozzle. But I am glad now I didn’t get the chance if they’re not going to be around to help if something goes wrong.

    My New Rainbow SRX 🌈

    You may could leave a comment on one of Rainbow Insight 101’s YouTube videos and ask him. He posted one recently of the 14ft electric hose.

    Severin Canister Vacuum BC7058-N

    I thought about buying one of these. But I didn’t see anything on VL about them, which made me hesitant. If it operates as described, then it should be a good cleaner. As far as I know, Amazon is about the only place with consumer reviews on them. Amazon does have a good return policy, so if...

    Am I The Only One.....

    I find it crazy that the cost for Miele is ridiculously more in the US than it is for Germany. I understand it’s an imported product, but 5-10 times the cost really necessary? Also I don’t understand why they don’t have a mini motorized tool available at all. Turbo brushes are OK, but powered...

    Sirena refurb worth it? What about Quantum X?

    The separator feels the same as what you described yours. I’m going to do my best to take care of it. I need it to last me for a few years at least. Me too. I can tell this is bringing a lot of people down, myself included, and I do worry about what will happen with the economy. Regardless...

    Sirena refurb worth it? What about Quantum X?

    I’m definitely giving more serious thought to a longer hose. Today while using the Rainbow I had to lift the machine up so I could reach my bathroom vent with the hose. Using the electric hose with the tools today I noticed that I can’t dial down the suction for dusting. The non electric hose...

    Dyson v11 "Outsize"

    In that case a better comparison would be an Oreck Pod (which I had and returned, in my experience the V11 has better debris pick up ability) or the Miele stick vac with a power nozzle. But I’m not thrilled with “lightweight” vacuums that are heavy in, and straining on, the hand. When my V11...

    The electric hose cost has went up. It’s $149 now 😭.

    Sirena refurb worth it? What about Quantum X?

    I had checked it online and found different sites saying that about essential oils. But I’m sure like with everything else, it’s circumstantial. I really need one of both electrical and non electrical 14ft hoses. But I’m hesitant to spend much with the economy going to trash with COVID-19. Sigh.

    Help! What is happening to my Rainbow

    That’s cool that it fires up quicker. I need to get mine out and go ham. I’ve not used it this week yet.

    Dyson v11 "Outsize"

    The V11 was enough when I lived in a 600sq ft apartment and had no pets. I agree circumstances will determine if it can replace a corded vacuum.

    Sirena refurb worth it? What about Quantum X?

    I was told essential oils can cause problems for cats, even if they’re only breathing the scent. So I don’t use those. It wasn’t bad, but it was enough that I thought the water was clear because it splashed around white. I use the Rexair scent in the picture below. I do want to try the germ...

    Help! What is happening to my Rainbow

    I hope mine will last a long time, as it will be a good long while before I can upgrade. I was surprised the filter on mine is as big as a car cabin filter. The new one looks like it’s twice as big, almost HVAC size. 🤣

    Sirena refurb worth it? What about Quantum X?

    I’m not worried about the separator. Just thought it was odd. So I did take off the filter and there was a little dust. But that could be my doing. The first use I had a lot of crud in the water, which I couldn’t see until I was finished because the eucalyptus stuff foamed. The second use I...

    Dyson v11 "Outsize"

    I’ve got last year’s V11 and it’s OK for a “daily driver” for me, but I bought a Rainbow to do my real weekly cleanings. The V11 doesn’t deep clean very well in my experience, but it helps keep cat hair swept up.

    Help! What is happening to my Rainbow

    Is it working good as new now? The Rainbow SRX was what I really wanted—maybe after I pay off my car—if I financially survive COVID19.

    Miele U1 - Red

    That’s what my Dad uses. If it can survive his wife, and it has so far, then it’s definitely a good vacuum. I’ve used it and it does clean well. Runs quietly just like the Miele canisters do.

    Sirena refurb worth it? What about Quantum X?

    One thing I did find odd was the separator on mine is black instead of white/yellow. I did use white paper towel to wipe it off after using the vacuum, and there was no dirt come off of it. Maybe it’s an after market part?

    Help! What is happening to my Rainbow

    I’m glad they got back to you and it was something repairable. $225 is better than $2250 for a new one! Hopefully he can get it fixed and back to you quickly! Awesome job taking such immaculate care of yours. I’m going to try and do the same with mine as best as I can.
