    Shark is best???

    I have a Kirby Sentria 2, Rainbow E3 Black, Dyson D14 or D07? and a Shark Navigator lift away M# nv351-31. The rainbow is by far the best on I have as my deep cleaner... or so I thought.

    ET-1 Problems

    I have made a few posts on here about my Sebo D4 and my ET-1 issues and frustrations. I do thing the Sebo D4 is a great machine and hopefully my mind will be changed by the fixes that will be done. I have had the machine for about 16 months and have been using it but never really enjoyed the...

    Rainbow E2 Black vs Sebo D4 cleaning

    I have both these machines and haven't really tested out the cleaning performance side by side until lately. I dragged the rainbow out of the closet just to use it and cleaned right after using the D4. I noticed the Rainbow has very dirty water and a good amount of pet hair and grit in the...

    Kirby shampooer vs rainbow/extraction.

    I currently only have 2 carpet cleaners. A rainbow and a Kirby avalir shampooer. I have regular everyday tan carpet. I’m reluctant to use the rainbow shampoo in the rainbow as I can’t guarantee I can get it all out and I feel that it causes the carpets to get dirty faster. Should I pick one...

    Kirby Shampooer

    I have a sentria 2 and I want to get the shampooer system for it. It is apparently $250 from my "local" dealer. I see that goodvac has an avalir 2 shampooer that they list for a lot less and it says it will work with a Sentria 2. Is this correct and is goodvac a good play to order from? Where...

    Rainbow E2 expectations

    Hey all. I have a new Rainbow E2 that I've had for about a month. I enjoy using it but I feel like I'm not getting all I can out of it. I feel like my Kenmore elite made the carpet fluffier and brought back the nap much better then the rainbow. I also have been trying to get the water in the...
