    Is it worth getting a rainbow?

    YES.... Fill it above the dome with water maybe 1/2 inch... I've been doing this a long time...I always thought the essential oil in the water would help the water in addition to smelling good... When I've seen videos in the past of people using their rainbow I can tell watching it run they...

    Amazon Vine Program

    So I get this email from Amazon..It says I've been invited to join the Amazon Vine program..(never heard of it).. It said I was chosen because I have written some insightful and comprehensive reviews...I have written some reviews but they are very few and far between.. so I accepted the...

    Is it worth getting a rainbow?

    I do love mine... A gold 2 speed. I don't grow tired of using it because over the years I've just figured out easy ways that work for me to set up, tear down, store.. I don't always use it though... but I at least regularly use it. Since 2006, I don't think I've ever gone over 2 months without...

    Viewing new Rainbow

    When I bought my brand new 2 speed in 2006... over the years I've been so tempted to upgrade... but I just couldn't bring myself to do it since mine was perfectly fine...Thinking back, I think I've changed my HEPA maybe 3 times... I did have to have it fixed once....but the tech said I should...

    Hoover Elite Power Scrub

    These are GREAT but I think the reason they are so cheap or on sale is that they are no longer Hoover's TOL...they are sort of an older model that they continue to manufacture (from what I understand) one thing you DEFINITELY want to do is this: When you're Done...take everything apart, let the...

    Got a Sebo Felix 2 today - Thanks!!!

    I would own one of these in a HEARTBEAT!! Don't feel bad for spending that much $$ for this. Very well made. While I don't have a Sebo Felix or a Sebo, I use this with my upright. And it made me wonder if this would work with the Felix... This attachment kit changes the way you use an upright...

    (2015) Evolution Prestige Dustcare model 6502Z.

    when you use a hepa bag with these and aftermarket extension hose/tools.... these are really good vacuums... I've had a similar vac going on 5 years now.

    Bissell introduces a literal steam cleaner for carpets

    I wonder how this will deal with minerals in tap water? I mean, 99.99999% of people aren't going to use distilled water unless it's a small amount or something. Didn't the Pro heat's that had a built in heater clog up from minerals in tap water?

    I got the new bissell powerforce bagged.

    Oh, I don't own one.. I just cut/pasted a review from Amazon. When I read this thread it made me wonder if HEPA bags were available for these...that's when I started reading amazon reviews...and when I read that review, that pretty much is what I experienced with any paper bag too. But I believe...

    I got the new bissell powerforce bagged.

    I think I screwed up the above link.. here it is https://www.amazon.com/CF-Clean-Fairy-Replacement-Bissell/dp/B06X9Q4X2Q/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3E5NIRW6J1HU9&keywords=clean+fairy+vacuum+bags+bissell+1%2F7&qid=1680758620&sprefix=bissell+clean+fair%2Caps%2C238&sr=8-1

    I got the new bissell powerforce bagged.

    If you are using paper bags... they're going to leak.. You'll see some slight build up in the bag chamber...but you will not see this with HEPA bags...(see link) here's one of the reviews and I totally agree with this person.. paper bags just are nothing compared to HEPA bags... I recently...

    Lady you don’t need to clean it, you need a new one!

    Even cheap things can last if you maintain them...(most of the time) I had a shark professional for 4 years and used the hell out of it at my house.. I kept it clean by using another vacuum to suck the bin and filters clean...the hose did crack but I can see how I could have prevented that...

    Lady you don’t need to clean it, you need a new one!

    No... they don't take care of them... People just don't think about stuff like this... I think people just find it boring...they already HATE cleaning and heaven forbid having to turn around and clean a vacuum after using it....aside from just emptying the bin.. So many things I think people...

    What makes the SRX so HORRIBLE?

    Yep it would be interesting if that were true...new motor, new PN..Perhaps they are correcting things people have been complaining about?...Plz come back here and post if you get an answer :) I didn't realize the first E series was plagued with problems... I did learn that my gold 2 speed had...

    What makes the SRX so HORRIBLE?

    My rainbowmate does the same thing so I rarely ever use it...Also I agree with the rainjet... A mop and bucket would be easier...since you don't need to use the PN much at all... I don't blame you..I just use my rainbow for vacuuming and dusting

    What makes the SRX so HORRIBLE?

    @ juhu If they do come up with a new model are you going to switch out your SRX?

    What makes the SRX so HORRIBLE?

    I didn't know they also updated the separator??? WTH is that about? I think the separator on my gold 2 speed is great. I remember back when I had my shark that I would run through the house daily - about ever 4 days I would clean it, sucking the filters and bin clean with my rainbow...but I...

    What makes the SRX so HORRIBLE?

    same with my rainbow 2 speed. I never use low speed for anything

    What makes the SRX so HORRIBLE?

    Here's what I think: instead of improving the part of the vacuum that actually cleans (like the motor, separator, PN) They stuck with cosmetics and features. They lowered the power, made a very crappy PN (which thank goodness they've improved, so I hear) I hope that their next model is...

    New Rbow SRX power nozzle

    Well.. My Gold 2 speed (which has the old E series PN and people HATE that one) even that PN is better than than the SRX one... I mean when you put crumbs or sand on a hard floor (even if the PN isn't designed for hard floors) the airflow from the PN head should be enough to pick up sand...
