    Rexair Rainbow trademarks SRX name - could new machine be coming very soon?

    juju - I hope you are able to realize your dream of owning a Rainbow Srx. Given that you believe in them so much, perhaps you should sell them on the side to EARN your Rainbow

    Rexair Rainbow trademarks SRX name - could new machine be coming very soon?

    Although it's an apples to oranges comparison, consider that you can purchase a made in the US top of the line Speed Queen Side by Side Laundry Pair set with front load washer for less than the price of a new Rainbow. I have to wonder who the people are who value a vacuum cleaner enough to pay...

    Rexair Rainbow trademarks SRX name - could new machine be coming very soon?

    I can’t imagine too many people buying a vacuum for more than $3000. There are too many very good options for far less money.

    The rainbow website still doesn’t mention the amazing new srx. Am a little surprised that they haven’t unloaded the old models yet.

    Consumer reports

    To see the details you have to subscribe to the digital version. The magazine is very disappointing. It really is designed for sheeple. It’s a bit of a scam that you have to pay for the digital subscription to get the details that used to be in the magazine.

    Does the Rainbow offer more than one brush roll option to accommodate users of super plush carpeting? Since the height is not adjustable, does it even work on these modern carpets?

    Aerus/Lux 4000 Original MSRP

    Check with your local Aerus office. They would likely have that info if the model isn't too old.

    So any news regarding the Rainbow SRX being rated by the carpet and rug institute? The Rainbow E-2 was rated in silver category. From the CRI website (link provided), we can see that a silver rated vacuum removes 50-54% of the soil in testing and has to meet some minimal dust containment...

    Rexair Rainbow trademarks SRX name - could new machine be coming very soon?

    Of course they're secretive. They're trying to unload old inventory without discounting it. If you agreed to buy a Rainbow for around $3000, and then you found out that you were getting the old model, you might cancel the sale or demand a discount. Legally you only have a very short time to...

    Rexair Rainbow trademarks SRX name - could new machine be coming very soon?

    Sadly the price is inflated due to the way that it is sold. Were they sold using traditional methods, the price would likely be less than 1/2 the DTD price. But without the in home demonstration using the million dollar sales pitch, who would buy one? There are unofficial sellers on amazon...

    Rexair Rainbow trademarks SRX name - could new machine be coming very soon?

    Why is it that higher tax German companies can produce premium vacuums for 1/3 the price of a Rainbow? I’m all for made in USA, but I don’t support price gouging. Rainbows may be quality products, but $3300 for a vacuum is highway robbery. DTD pricing is the pits.

    Rexair Rainbow trademarks SRX name - could new machine be coming very soon?

    So it's been over 2 months since the rumors of an amazing new Rainbow. Are they still unloading the old E-series machines? I wonder if the people that buy the old model feel upset when they find out that they missed out getting the new and improved model. Unless they get a big discount, I...

    R10/S10 brushroll performance?

    I'm glad that Tom steered me towards the more basic model with wooden brushroll when I purchased 2 at the factory store.

    Why I think canisters aren't popular in United States anymore

    Look at the Shark uprights that are so popular right now. Many convert into canisters (i.e. liftaway - the canister comes off the upright). Bypass type uprights are canisters in upright configuration. Some stick vacuums also take the place of a canister in function.

    Next Kirby?

    With all of the great neighborhood web sites and social media to warn people about Kirby & other door to door salespersons being in the neighborhood, I'm surprised they can still get in houses. On my local nextdoor site, the comments were about being sure to have a no solicitors sign and to not...

    Next Kirby?

    Kirby needs to have 2 models instead of one, at least while they transition to a more modern machine. they need to keep the current upright design with some improvements for the diehard fans. But they also need something with on board tools that is more modern for everyone else. While the...

    Prolux Carpet cleaner for Rainbow, Sirena, Ocean Blue, ProAqua, ...

    It includes the telescopic wand and handle with the cord. It looks like there are controls in the handle. If you look at my second link, you can download the user manual with nice pictures (and a nice comic about reading user manuals).

    Prolux Carpet cleaner for Rainbow, Sirena, Ocean Blue, ProAqua, ...

    There is a user manual at the site I link below. Apparently there is a 2 prong cord that attaches to the power nozzle outlet on the vacuum. Apparently you wrap the cord around the non-electric hose...

    Prolux Carpet cleaner for Rainbow, Sirena, Ocean Blue, ProAqua, ...

    Hi Mark, But isn't it the only option to turn a Sirena into a carpet cleaner. Sure Rainbow offers a carpet cleaner, but you have to provide referrals to get it if I understand correctly. I'd rather pay $200 for a carpet cleaner than give up my friend's names as referrals.
