... I tried to show some of the bad area. It doesn't look as bad as it does in person. Sorry for the quality, I took it with my phone.

Oh don 't worry I'm going to. I wouldn't dream of repainting it a different color. I want as close of a match as possible.

I bought an Auto F today. It works and sounds great, but the paint is dinged up and chipped in several places. So I was wondering what type and color of paint would I use to replicate the gray and white colors of the vacuum. I would also welcome any tips/advice for painting this vacuum. Thanks...

But.. Plastic is fine as long as its the super long lasting stuff. I see no issue in plastic if it is just as or more durable than metal. (and KIRBY claims theirs is more durable.) They have already been using plastic for the sentria basepan and shampooer head for a couple years now. As far as...

Even.. The older models weren't bad. My 3 year old commercial model has enough suction to lift up the side of our area rugs. My grandparents use their 5 year old MOL model to vacuum their deep pile carpet twice and sometimes just once a week. The carpet is as old as the vacuum and it gets a...

I think I remember someone saying that only part of the machine will be plastic, some parts like the fan case and carpet nozzle will be metal. don't think Kirby would put an easily clogged exhaust duct on one of their vacuums, Not after how the tradition turned out. I'm guessing its just hard...

oops. Here's the link. :) http://www.google.com/patents?id=sLEcAAAAEBAJ&pg=PA1&dq=scott+and+fetzer&hl=en&ei=Px3xTd5ikr62B-74wekC&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=3&ved=0CC0Q6AEwAg#v=onepage&q=scott%20and%20fetzer&f=false

I've never seen this patent posted here before. Looks like a very interesting idea! What do you guys think?

Inside... Click on the top banner and it gives lots of info and shows the inside of the new power nozzle... http://www.goodvac.com/Rainbow_Vacuums_supplies_parts_and_accessories_s/1.htm

It really isn't heavy, just awkward to pack and especially take up or down stairs.

I have a CB The bearings are dry and the PN needs some work. It is the one with the blue cover... It was used in my countie's courthouse. When it was replaced, the Judge's wife used it in her home! (He is also my uncle)I feel sorry for her packing that monster around! I dug it out of an old...

I think.. It would make sense to have a power nozzle like that. First, you only really need something for surface dirt close to walls, because that area doesn't get worn. The smaller brushroll area would really concentrate that powerful suction, so I bet it is a heck of a deep cleaner. :)

WOW The Power Nozzle is completely different! I hope it cleans better than the old style. How high is the PN's profile?

Model E... That is very nice, Not to mention very special! Congratulations!

Mom.. My parents had a Rainbow D4 SE. I LOVED that vacuum. They had every optional accessory but a couple years before I was born, their house exploded. I'm guessing they hadn't had the machine very long. The explosion destroyed the aquamate, rainbowmate, 2 quart basin, and wet hose. I think it...

Patrick Nice machines! I love those luxes! Two Questions: What do you think of the Dyson DC28? What is you personal experience with the machine? I am thinking about purchasing one.

I have a beautiful blue electrrolux cloth hose that doesn't leak at all. It does, however have a clog. I hooked it up to my model E exhaust and barely any air blew through the end. It also made the machine "wheeze". While it was on the exhaust I unfolded a wire hanger and pushed it in as far as...

I love.. Orecks! The brushroll design and speed helps them clean fairly well. My grandparents use a newer model (A couple years old)and have thick, plush carpet. It is very, very dense. They have used their oreck twice a week since they've had the carpet. It must be doing its job because there...

Here.. is mostly high end. Rainbows are extremely popular. Many people still use S.E's and a lot of people have e series machines too. A huge number of people have an electrolux canister in their basement or attic, but a few of them are still used regularly. Oreck is really popular in my county...

P.S. Thanks for all the wonderful information Bill!
