CR tested the new Rainbow SRX and Sirena. CR reports a price of $1300 for the Rainbow SRX but notes that Rainbows were mostly available through Rainbow reps. The new Rainbow excelled at cleaning medium pile carpeting, but stunk at cleaning bare floors with the snowplowing power nozzle. The...

So the big new feature is that is will have a built in laser to measure the size and counts of particles it picks up? Might have been better off developing an automatic brush roll cleaning capability...

How about https://www.costco.com/.product.100524191.html

I hope I don't get in trouble for the reveal, but I have some inside information. The DC09 was supposed to have a spring loaded power nozzle extension to go under low furniture. It was promising until they found in in-home testing that cats decided it was a toy and destroyed them. The DC10 was...

Has anything significant changed with the operation of Rexair since the company was sold to a private equity firm on Feb 26, 2019? Source wikipedia: "On 26 February 2019 Newell Brands announced it would be selling its Rexair business, t1he maker of Rainbow vacuum products, to private-equity...

Before giving up on the Lindhaus, You might want to modify your technique. Tom Gasko showed me that if you can use your legs instead of back/arms.

I had one and gave it to a relative. Quirky franken-vac is what that is. I had a gray model which was made in Taiwan. I purchased online and was very disappointed in the low quality plastic. It was like a Royal bottom with a dirt devil dirt collection system. It cleaned well. We had a Rainbow...

I highly recommend the Bissell.

No. You don't really want to get your carpets wet all the time. Look at manufacturer recommendations to learn how to care for your carpet. Professional steam cleaning may be recommended once or twice a year as needed. If you need to sanitize the floors regularly, you probably need to use...

I don't understand Aerus's thinking on this. They have a good product, but they stubbornly refuse to innovate even on something as simple as the bag.

Have to admire Tom G's commitment to his hobby with two large tattoo's to show his love of Airway and Rexair.

Congrats - seems like you made a good choice with the huge bags and 40 foot cord. At least the Rainbow should have some resale value if you decide to unload it.

Do you have a clogged filter or obstruction in the hose?

Assuming the OP is picking up tons of dog/cat hair with his 2 dogs and 3 cats (i.e. enough to overwhelm the Rainbow's 2 quart pan), I would think he would need a vacuum with extra large bags or to upgrade to the Rainbow 4 quart pan. The Lindhaus HF6 bags are 14 quarts. If you're going to burn...

I would have thought that Rainbows would be a little more durable than to have so many issues. What do other Rainbow users do when they have lots of pets and pet hair? Do they buy the 4 quart water container? Would the 12 foot hose allow you to finish faster? Is it difficult to convert a...

I saw a Lindhaus HF6 on amazon and a Lindhaus Aria elite at www.centralvacuumstores.com, but I have no idea how the prices compare at vac stores. I will say that the Lindhaus Aria has stylish ad pics. I don't know about how the vacuum works, but I admire their ad pics. There's something...

VacDevil - just curious what Lindhaus canisters do you like?

Given that you already have a Rainbow, your marginal costs of ownership are relatively low. Will you resent the high cost of Bags and filters? Many Rainbow owners have an upright for quick pick ups. It may be that you need to relearn how to use your Rainbow. I can remember visiting Tom...

Just curious what don't you like about your Rainbow E-2? Did you purchase the Rainbow E-2 new? What don't you like about it? What features if any do you like? What is your price range? What kind of flooring do you currently have? I will say that the Rainbow sales pitch uses Jedi mind...
