    Kirby Sentria 2 not outcleaning a rainbow e2 black

    I adjust the carpet height by going down until I hear the change in sound which is usually the dot above 3 and then 1 more click. That puts the brush roll at 3. The brush roll is still set to 1 in the head assembly itself so I have 2 more to go. The large middle divide that protects the belt...

    Kirby Sentria 2 not outcleaning a rainbow e2 black

    Idk about conditioned... I can literally feel the dirt that the Kirby didn’t pick up go through the hose. I can hear it too. I’ve never been impressed too much but I will say it does clean and it does a good job. It definitely gets up pet hair better then the Kirby. I really like the fact...

    Kirby Sentria 2 not outcleaning a rainbow e2 black

    I have a sentria 2 with very few hours on it. I bought it previously from a lady who apparently only used it a few times. The machine was in brand new condition when I bought it about a year ago. I also have a a 3 year old Rainbow E2 Black. After seeing the airflow tests and flow density...

    Sweet. So it if anymore powerful that the E2 Black? Can the new PN be used with the older units? What is the rated wattage of the PN and of the Unit with and without the PN?

    Rexair Rainbow trademarks SRX name - could new machine be coming very soon?

    We will see the new Rainbow sooner than you think. I heard from a little bird that 4-8weeks. I also heard that SRX on paper has less lift but more air flow? Idk how that is possible or where they are taking measurements from. I do know that the new PN has a bar that goes all the way across but...

    Rainbow E2 Platinum Airflow Losses

    Yall got me thinking so I pulled out my rainbow this morning instead of the Kirby.. ALso because I think I'm getting some allergies going (its become the mid july norm the last few years) I hooked it up to my Kill-a-watt meter and tested. 20ish watts in air cleaner mode 865watts with...

    Rainbow Hepa

    I change the water out at least once or twice per floor. It's never too dirty and there nothing non wettable that I can think of in the house. Separator stays clean and I even use the larger water basin. I talked do a lady at rexair and she sent me a new Hepa free about 9 month ago or so. She...

    Home air quality rants

    Well just don't put duct in unconditioned space and make sure its properly sized. 85% or the efficiency of the unit comes from the install, not the unit itself. Have a load calculation done and don't base it off square feet or anything like that and you'll have a comfortable safe and efficient home.

    Calling all rainbow e2 owners

    Its brown/tan and sticky/goo-y. Also the bottom metal plate on my Kirby is getting the same or similar stuff on it. Its a brown goo but washes off extremely easy. I think I may have an answer to both as I was thinking last night. My house is somewhat clean given how much traffic there is but my...

    Should I sale my Rainbow or keep it?

    Visually you wont see a difference because every vacuum can pick up dirt off the top of the carpet... mostly, lol. I notice my carpets looking better and feeling softer. I also noticed how much more dirt I was able to pull out of my carpets. It only took 2 weeks to fill up a bag which is kinda...

    City water but the separator is perfect and I clean it every use. No clue but technically nothing should get past the separator.

    Dang... My hepa didn't last a year. I have no clue what I'm sucking up but it's a yellowish film on the inside of the fan.

    Calling all rainbow e2 owners

    I doubt it, I also doubt if there is any real benefit to use jet dry. Also only use 1 drop. I also have hard water and couldn't really notice a difference. Did they tell you how dirty it was or anything?

    Calling all rainbow e2 owners

    Who did you have it cleaned by? My E2 doesnt change sound like that but it has developed a slight vibration sound it seems. Not sure what that is but its probably all the dirt getting past the separator.

    Home air quality rants

    3M filters are way too restrictive for the air unit. HVAC systems are shitty designed at best unless you have a Manual J, D, and S, performed at minimum. These are tested and designs performed by the best HVAC companies to make sure the units you get are the best for the home and your wallet...

    Should I sale my Rainbow or keep it?

    This Kirby is insane. The airflow with the attachments is A LOT more then my rainbow. Is that normal? So this raises the question again... what do I have the rainbow for?? A glorified air purifier? I have a few other issues that I will make a new thread for. I used the foam gun and a brush...
