    Will the new AquaMate work on a Rainbow SE?

    It would be very hard to use the aquamate II on the stairs unless the stairs are really wide. I have the minijet and it is a wonderful accessory. That cord will not work because the circled connection with not fit the SE power nozzle receptacle. I can tell you got those pics from rainvac.com...

    Will the new AquaMate work on a Rainbow SE?

    I don't think there is anyway to modify the SE electric hose. Even if you replace the handle, the electrified hose is not double insulated like the current electrified hose so you would probably get electrocuted. Not even sure if the other two are possible because of different connections.

    New (sort of) Rainbow

    I was doing my daily vacuuming this morning at 5 and all this talk about jet dry in the water had me wanting to try it so I did. When I was finished I could see no difference in the water after I was done. My water is surprisingly clean after I vacuum only just slightly cloudy and still able to...

    Anyone have the new Rainbow Mini Jet yet?

    I got my mini jet today and this thing is amazing. Easy to use and even easier to clean. If other rainbow owners are like me, it takes me longer to clean up my aquamate and dry it and put it back in the box than it does to get it out and clean up the spill. This new mini jet is going to get...

    Vacuums and Floor Tools without rubber bumpers....

    It really doesn't matter to me if my rainbow had a bumper or not. I have all white base boards and doors in my house that I am anal about, they can't have on scratch or black mark on them or I will go nuts. Its very easy for me to be careful because I don't want my $2600 rainbow to have any...

    Anyone have the new Rainbow Mini Jet yet?

    I emailed my dealer just to get a price and to my surprise it was only $99.95, $108.95 with shipping. I'm glad I contacted him first because I was going to order it from another rainbow site where it was $125 plus $10 shipping, but the story of my life when my dealer called me he said he...

    Anyone have the new Rainbow Mini Jet yet?

    I know it hasn't been out for very long but wondering if anyone has the mini jet yet? I was wondering when rainbow was going to come up with this. I need something for stains that I don't want to get into the brush roll of my aquamate(have cats, not going into details) and this looks perfect.

    witch rainbow is better?

    Didn't know you could still buy a new gold or blue e2? I have an SE and the new black rainbow and I like my SE more than my black rainbow. All three are the same machine aside from the LED lights in the black one. If you want to be able to use the new aquamate, rainjet, mini jet or...

    Question for rainbow owners?

    When I clean the separator on my 2011 rainbow when I put the separator back on and start cleaning I get a louder pitch from the motor. It almost sounds like something is off balance. If I take the separator off and put it back on the noise goes away. The separator is always seated correctly...

    So I cut into my Rainbow 5 year old hepa- Here's what I found

    Looks about like my 2011 rainbow does and it was bought in june of 2011 and gets daily 5 to 8 times a day use and I never change the water until I'm done and the water is usually just hazy. Most of the time I can still see through it after I'm done. Most people don't realize that some of the...

    Rainbow "Gold Series" Motor Question

    If its $250 for everything then I would say it was a steal if its in good condition. Were is it coming from? If its coming from ebay be careful my rainbow dealer pointed out to me sometimes people will put the two speed switch on a single speed and try to pass it off as a two speed. As for...

    Rainbow "Gold Series" Motor Question

    I sure hope a lot of usage is not the cause of the circuit board failing. If it is I'm in trouble because with a woodstove and 2 cats my rainbow gets used everyday 5 to 8 times a day. I never put it away its always sitting in the middle of the floor

    Rainbow "Gold Series" Motor Question

    If it appears like this 01121764 105 It should mean it was made January of 2005. I'm pretty sure that's how it works but don't hold me to it because I'm not 100 percent sure

    Rainbow "Gold Series" Motor Question

    My circuit board went out on my e2 after 5 years. Started using it one day and all of a sudden it was like it was drained of power and light smoke started coming out. Of course my rainbow dealer 30 miles away had gone out of business but the next closest one was in Morgantown WV. Called him...

    Using the Rainbow

    Holy sh** I can't imagine using my rainbow in my garage. I am very particular as to what goes into it. I can't believe you have to change the water every 30 minutes. I vacuum my whole house and never dump the water until I am completely done and the inside of the rainbow and the filter are as...

    Rainbow Performnce

    Not sure what is going on with the belts. My E4 is over a year old and no belt problems, and the belt on my SE is 6 years old and no problem. My aunt has an e-series she bought new in 2002 and has never changed a belt. My dealer told me before she went out of bussiness, that these belts are...
