    Does Rainbow E2 Black really need a hepa filter?

    Vacuum devil How did you come to that conclusion ? From what I watched, despite several people's antidotal evidence(opinion) the washing of a hepa filter is doable .....i.e. can be done w/o sacrificing airflow or increasing air emissions. I"m glad he did all that testing to address...

    Kirby Micron Magic Bags

    kirbyrama I've used the Kirby Hepa cloth bags on multiple 'conversions' like you described and they fit perfectly. I haven't tried any of the paper micron magic bags so I can't verify the size inconsistency. I"ll check tomorrow to see if I have a used bag that came with one of my machine and...

    Does Rainbow E2 Black really need a hepa filter?

    It’s my understanding. That HEPA filters were added to get more certifications for Rexair AS purifiers AND to get around the ( justly so)criticisms about not capturing ALL materials( older ones couldn’t capture no water soluble substances ( ash, drywall dust, talcum power etc). I’ve never...

    so, I just acquired one of these old little appreciated machines ( compared to many other classic brands/models) and am quite hoping that I can actually use it on my hard-floors. I have taken it apart to clean and inspect it ....steel wool polishing etc but realized the 'glass' turnable "Dust...

    Kirby Factory Rebuild

    dandagreer I think your approach of just using spare parts on the machine you'll send it vs the original is genius !!!! I REALLY want to see and hear your take on their end result that you'll receive. I've heard vastly different tales of the 'quality' of the restoration work. Widely different...
