    How do I test a rainbow E2 black unit without any accessories?

    So you have the most expensive part...(the main unit) and it looks like it's in GREAT shape...If you go to rainvac.com they have all the parts (if you wish to buy them)... But the hose, basin, dolly, PN, floor brush, crevice, dusting brush... it's gonna be expensive but probably worth it.. This...

    Why Tacony SUCKS nowadays.

    I think the Sebo dart you can too... although I'm not sure what major differences there are between the Dart or Felix.. I never used to prefer uprights either until I discovered those universal extension hoses you can buy that comes with their own tools..

    Why Tacony SUCKS nowadays.

    Doing some searching around earlier when I was bored (out of curiosity) I wanted to see if I could find the Cirrus vacuums on any site for a different price than the regular $559 for the CR79 and $659 for the CR99 (sometimes even higher).. I was shocked to see Ajmadison.com (a huge appliance...

    Why Tacony SUCKS nowadays.

    Question: Take the Sebo Felix, for example..The wrap around filter (I'm not sure the proper name for it) I guess the exhaust filter that has different designs... OMG. $43.99!!! And a pack of bags are like $35..If a filter box lasted 5 years it wouldn't be so bad. In my house it probably would...

    Why Tacony SUCKS nowadays.

    Thanks @ panasonicvac That actually looks identical to me..just watching the video.. Yea - it's pretty crazy that some of the Sebo's don't have headlights. That would totally NOT matter to me but I can see why some people would want it.. For me, when I'm cleaning under beds...

    Why Tacony SUCKS nowadays.

    Is there a video of someone taking these brush rolls apart and putting them back together?

    Why Tacony SUCKS nowadays.

    If by serviced you mean belt changed, clean brush roll, the brush roll housing, etc...several times... but the brush roll itself..just wiped it down... I just have a small house with wall to wall berber. As for the motor filter... I take it out and slowly vacuum it (just in case) even though I...

    Why Tacony SUCKS nowadays.

    Yep - Just used for an hour and ran smooth as silk...no strange sounds... that was the problem. I'm shocked because I've dealt with that noise for months and thought my vac was slowly dying and that's all it was. An attachment tool not snapped into place all the way.. LOL LOL

    Why Tacony SUCKS nowadays.

    Gotcha.. So get this... You remember earlier when I was saying my Cirrus would sometimes make a funny noise that I can't explain?... it's almost like a vibrating noise.. Say you're carpet vacuuming and you move the handle up and down as you push, sometimes moving the handle up and down can...

    Why Tacony SUCKS nowadays.

    I never felt like I needed or ever used the headlight on a vacuum..Personally, I would totally live without one...although, I think it's a cool feature.. I was looking at the Sebo's just now ... My God, the bags and filters are outrageously priced.. The actual vacuums - the G4 and Felix are...

    Why Tacony SUCKS nowadays.

    No brushroll shut off... that's exactly what I do... Use an afterrmarket extension hose with its tools to do above floor hard floor. I never turn the brush roll off and go over hard floor with the nozzle Just yesterday I cleaned 3 rooms in my house and spent 2 to 3 hours top to bottom using...

    Why Tacony SUCKS nowadays.

    Oh yea... I've always eyed Sebo.. I LOVE their vacuums and have always wanted one SOO bad...I know you get what you pay for... My Gold 2 speed rainbow from 2006 will outlive me I'm sure. About the Cirrus..My first thought was when I saw that (CR88) was the wand looked like it was totally taken...

    Why Tacony SUCKS nowadays.

    On that last pic of the cirrus... where's the wand? It looks like the wand was taken off the hose... but on mine there's like a wand holder area that's missing too... it looks like this must be a different model... Looking at that... that would actually totally work for me as well because I...

    Why Tacony SUCKS nowadays.

    Gotctha.. I never noticed the extended the warranty I'm always eyeing some Tacony products too... I know some people don't like them but I like some of the designs.. Back when I bought mine I was watching youtube videos.. a few vacuum shops on youtube were selling it and showing it. Also they...

    Why Tacony SUCKS nowadays.

    When I bought my CR-79 over 4 years ago...brand new.... the price was like $340 or something like that...and the CR99 was in the $400s. Now, that SAME vacuum is in the $500's and the CR-99 is in the $600's... Crazy.. I like that the operating costs of these are not that high at all. The HEPA...

    Why Tacony SUCKS nowadays.

    I love the Cirrus CR-79 I have... but it's so confusing because there are so many brands that look so similar...At one point, I thought Cirrus was Tacony... I love the design of mine...it's around 4 years old and although I've taken great care of it...the motor will sometimes sound a bit OFF to...

    What vacuums are you hoping would come out in 2022?

    Even if you don't have pets...vacuum bags will get that stale smell after a bit even before the bag needs changing... I always HATED that and would always change the bag before it needed it... but not anymore thanks to those activated charcoal pellets... years ago I bought this big canister of...

    Thanksgiving dinner disaster close call

    wow I wonder how the spoilage happened? Glad you got it sorted :) Clueless cashier? Try this one. I watched a video where they were asking American teens what language they speak in Idaho... and none of them knew.
