    The Consumer Reports tests were COMPLETELY FLAWED! The Rainbow instruction book clearly stated theat non water soluble materials such as sawdust, talcum powder and plaster dust should not be vacuumed up with the Rainbow. There was a small foam filter to put on the exhaust if you did have to use...

    Calling All Rainbow Aficionado's

    That's true. But that low rate is for low speed. One can start on high speed to do the bulk of cleaning which is MANY TIMES more powerful, then switch to low to "maintain".

    maneuvering Kirbys

    Also,the MicroMatic adjuster which needs an allen wrench is designed for the situations where one notch on the toe touch nozzle adjustment is too high,and the next too low,to adjust in between. And you want the brushes to stick out far more than normal,and use the knurled, not smooth, belt to...

    Filter Queen Princess III

    More suck for your buck! Lol Charles,it sure is. In fact. I've been tempted to keep this one as my daily driver but necessity has it that I sell it. Filter Queens are one of the all time classic timeless designs. Virtually every vacuum shop I've ever worked in had them under the workbench...
