I think what U need there in Europe is a good old vintage American Electrolux like a Model G, 1205 or Super J; I bet they'll outclean anything made today
Do U have that kind of machines there, but under a different name?
I use the RainbowMate for vacing the interior of my Chevy Suburban; so I think I will need both the electrified 14ft hose & non-electric 14ft hose for the house
I don't know whether I need the 14ft non-electric hose or the 14ft electrified hose?
U can buy just the new PN without buying the newest style wands & hose
I don't know if it will work on the SE? How did GoodVac change this PN from direct connect to have the external cord...
I didn't expect to receive a new Rainbow as a Christmas present; but I LOVE IT!
Mine has a production date 1215 (Dec 2015) so it has the new style side belt PN

I got it as a Xmas gift
btw I got rid of the FloorMate & Steam Vac; the Rainbow replaced all that thanks to the AquaMate & RainJet
Less machines=more space; I even got the Rainbow storage rack & 4 qt basin
I use the 4 Quart basin for vacing & floor/carpet washing; & the 2 Qt for air cleaning...
I just bought the new Onyx e3 & love it! Mine has the improved side belt PN & got the RainJet, AquaMate, two RainbowMates (1 for sofa & mattresses only, the 2nd one just for the car) & two RainMates
Reminds me of the SE my parents bought back in 1992; we were going to have the chrome dome D repaired but ended up buying the SE & had the D motor rebuilt. Since my parents bought the SE, I had came across several chrome dome Rainbow D2s
U can use the new AquaMate with your D4SE; U will need the stainless steel PN wand & a hose cord

In 2009 I bought a blue E2 & paid $1799.99 INCLUDING:
Power Nozzle
RainbowMate
New style AquaMate 3 PowerBrush
12ft non-electric hose
Deluxe Accessory Pack

First I rinse out the tubing with just plain water; then suck out the water from the water supply hose with the Rainbow
U can also replace the AquaMate carpet extraction head with a Kenmore SprayMate power nozzle; or with the Rainbow squeegee for hard surface floors
