    How to remove cooling fan of Rainbow E-2 Single speed?

    @ lesinutah Yea - I remember you really are against removing the fans at all. I remember you said it makes it worse and it's best to not take the fans off. I remember because a couple of years ago when I dropped my rainbow off at the dealer to have them fix the control board, I left my #. He...

    How to remove cooling fan of Rainbow E-2 Single speed?

    I saw a video on youtube of someone servicing a rainbow......and instead of removing the fans, they took it outside, taped some things up, and turned it on, poured water in the shaft area and the water shot out the back (this is with it running)...He clearly stated in the video that people...

    Water vacuums in Consumer Reports, Spring 2021

    Actually Not sure about the other tests....but the emissions test scoring low with Sirena: I immediately thought about when I first used mine what struck me was how the separator gets so dirty. I wasn't expecting that because on my Rainbow, it doesn't. Back when I had my Shark I would use my...

    "Classic" Hoover SteamVac Discontinued?

    I thought the classic spinscrub was discontinued a couple of years ago. The power scrub, turbo scrub, and elite resemble the classic but they are not the classic..I looked all over Ebay and I saw ONE new old stock one....JUST ONE, but I'm not even sure if it was spinscrub or just the stationary...

    "Classic" Hoover SteamVac Discontinued?

    Sorry to revive this but if someone happens along.......I have some questions: I recently bought a Hoover spinscrub carpet cleaner - not the classic Hoover Steamvac but very similar. I know Hoover discontinued this but my question is...what's the major difference? I don't see much at all...

    Carpet Washer Method

    I'm scared to death of the smart wash It looks like it cleans awesomely and is very easy to use/clean......But I've read some CRAZY reviews. Get this: (based on what I've read) the belts can break a lot and people would call Hoover and what does Hoover do? Sends them a NEW machine because the...

    Carpet Washer Method

    Holy crap Used this for the first time today. I wasn't expecting to be impressed based on past experience with my low pile berber and machines leaving the carpets too wet. I was so hoping that I would not have to add weight to this to get it to extract more water. Not only did I not have to add...

    ebay seller selling broken merchandise.

    You would think the seller wouldn't want to blatantly lie KNOWING full well the person who receives item as "not described or not even close" is going to leave bad feedback and return it. What's the point?

    The Rainbow SRX, thank you ElectroluxxxMike!

    Well I've seen a couple of videos of users that I trust. To test airflow of the new SRX PN, the turned the machine on HIGH speed, brush roll OFF, went over colored sand on a hard floor and the SRX PN moved no sand. They grabbed a couple of other PN's from other vacuums (neither was designed for...

    Carpet Washer Method

    Bissell I do not know about the newer model Bissell's but any Bissell I've ever had in the past (so I can not speak for the new models) could not suck up nearly as much water. It LOOKS like they are extracting water from the lens, but it's like they are just getting the very top of it. I'm not...

    Has anyone ever seen a Rexair CSD

    Wow you really must have had to dig deep to find and revive this one. I remember seeing this video and talking about it on this forum a long time ago.

    Carpet Washer Method

    I'm going to buy a Hoover SpinScrub at Home Depot. But I've been watching videos and some people do it this way and it sounds like it would make it MUCH easier using a Pump Sprayer Here...

    The Rainbow SRX, thank you ElectroluxxxMike!

    I still have my original gold 2 speed boxes as well. That's saying something for me, because I'm definitely not a hoarder. I throw everything away usually. But I kept those (LOL)

    Hyla

    Well the latest HYLA I read is only 700 watts. What in the world are they thinking? Based on that it sounds like the older generations have more power.

    Hyla

    Oh crap You're right. In my mind the NST was latest one but it's the EST.
  18. mark40511

    Hyla

    Well Hyla has a USA website. Maybe use search or use the contact form to see if they have parts for the EST? I know the EST I think is 2 models ago (not counting the latest one). I'm not sure how long HYLA makes parts for older machines. But it's worth a try to contact them...

    Canister Deep Cleaner

    OK so.......the spot cleaners are essentially miniature canister cleaners for small areas. When I have to clean up occasional stains or cat puke...I have never used the solution tank...I just put a little carpet cleaner in a cup of hot water and pour over/ extract, rinse, rinse, extract. I don't...

    Canister Deep Cleaner

    I came across this youtube video of someone pushing this for car detailing. There are tons of videos of people using it for car detailing, but it can be used for carpet cleaning too. It comes with a longer hose as well. Here's the thing: This is just MY opinion: I feel like canister deep...
