WOW! You got one heck of a good deal!! That Miele is in really good condition. I'm jealous: it's really pretty. Happy Vacuuming

Here is an interesting floor brush for a Lux 30. It doesn't have the Gleaner Strip, Gleaner adjustment lever, or any trim on the top intake. I have to admit: I think it is a pretty floor tool. I really like the lines of it. Think this is a vintage vac-store brand knockoff from back in the day...

I took some "Beauty Shots" of the HEPA filter. The filter is Washable, I took one look at it and was like "the hell with it!" the filter went straight into the trash. I cleaned this Rainbow out and it is as good as new. It is sitting on my side table happily humming in low speed, purifying the...

Hello Vacuumlanders. Here are some albums of my current daily driver: my Rainbow E-2B. I got it for a pretty good deal. I bought it sight unseen - I played some hardball to get a good deal. However, as the saying goes... It needed some work. Lol. I used to be a vacuum cleaner repairman I did...

Woops, wrong Location! Hi. I'm sorry, I posted this in the wrong location. I posted this from my phone and couldn't see that it was on another thread. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hijack your thread. Tried to delete it. Sorry about that.

My Rainbow E-2 Black: dissection , cleaning,and restoration Hello Vacuumlanders. Here are some albums of my current daily driver: my Rainbow E-2B. I got it for a pretty good deal. I bought it sight unseen - I played some hardball to get a good deal. However, as the saying goes... It needed...

Watch Obsessive Compulsive Cleaners Does the UK care about Cleaning? I'd say watch the show Obsessive Cleaners / Obsessive Compulsive Cleaners- my favorite UK show!!! I'd say they do.

Ah- The 2000's bag-less machines..... Good Times Good Ti Most of the pictures of the late 90's to mid 2000's I saw on this thread made me smile and chuckle. I was working as a vacuum cleaner repairman in the mid 2000's. God, how I hated those bagless machines!!! Especially the yellow and gray...

I have had many Rainbows over the years from the Model B to my current rainbow: my E-series Black. Here is what I have done with the separators. When attaching the separator, tighten the nut as tight as you can with your fingers. If you want a little re assurance, then go an additional 1/4 turn...

Hi everybody. I have a question about the Rainbow Blue Label series. Are the plastic housings on the Rainbow Blue Label machine black (like on the latest E-Series: E-4, 2011- present) or is it dark gray like the E-series 1998-2007ish? I have been wondering. I can't tell if it's black or gray...

I was born in 1980. So for me it would have to be the Rainbow D2-A. I remember seeing one when I was about 3 years old. It was my babysitter's, I was fascinated by it until she turned on then I was scared of it. When I watched it running (at what I thought was a safe distance) without the dolly/...

Yesterday I was at Goodwill and found a Rainbow d3c that was in fairly rough shape. one of the latches was broken, a "knob" was snapped off of the tool holder and it had no wand or powernozzle. They wanted $ 30.00 for it. Out of curiosity I plugged it in and turned it on. I am surprised at how...

Good job on the cleaning and restoration! It absolutely amazes me that people let their vacuum cleaners all clogged up with all sorts of funk- and on top of that, actually turn them on, push them around the carpet, seeing how it's clogged all I can think of it accomplishing is the new exercise...

It's sad to see that Silver King went under. I think that many of the DTD cleaner companies are using out-dated, high presure selling tactics. And for the love of all things sacred, Lower the prices! I use a Tri-Star compact as my daily driver. I have used Filter Queen, Kirby etc. NO vacuum...

Cloth hoses and Compact tools. I see where everyone stands on air loss, I think the only way to effectively make a woven hose is to make an overlay (tube) like a Flexco Pet braided tubing, and put it over a vinyl hose. I wish Flexco did their Tight Weave braided sleeving in more colors with...

The above statement is a very old expression I remember a friend of my grandparents using way back when I was a kid. On that note, Who doesn't like the look of a woven hose? Bosch issued a woven hose on their line of "Move" canister vacuums in Europe. Those of us across the pond in the States...

still missing the tools Shane. Again, I do not have the tools. My texts and emails get unanswered. I am very annoyed, to put it nicely. I want these tools. These tools I bought and payed for, I want them yesterday! It has been nearly 6 months since I bought this cleaner (which was shipped...

I do not know who Chicago Mike is. Never seen one of these before. He remakes the red trim and gray wheels too? It's a cool looking machine
