I have so many Rainbow Vacuums. I have two SE units complete with everything, a 1980 D3C unit complete with power nozzle, wet hose, and hardwood floor attachment, a Rainbow Chrome Dome complete with original dolly, power nozzle, and hardwood floor attachment and poles. I also have a 2010 Hyla...

I was browsing through Craigslist late the other night and came across a Rainbow E Series from 2003. It had both hoses, the inflator tool, power nozzle, and all the attachments. From the looks of the pictures on Craigslist, it was used a lot. The dolly had paint spots all over it where the...

Dan, I am JEALOUS! Dan, I absolutely love your extensive collection! My favorite is your new Rainbow! I have a deep connection with Rainbow Vacs. When I was at the age of 3, my aunt was given a Rainbow D4 SE PE as her wedding gift. Her husband, my uncle, was best friends with the dealer. She...

My grandma has the newer Rainbow e2 Blue vacuum and I love it! I brought it to my house to borrow it and take it for a few spins! My favorite part is the air purifier! Here are some pics!

My good friend who runs a thrift store in our small town always keeps an eye out for me for Rainbows. Another one came through today and it looks like a Rainbow D3C. She said it appears to work and it has the original power nozzle. It's missing the dolly but I have an extra one of those here at...

Thanks guys for responding! I wasn't actually talking about the newest rainbow e2. Those are expensive! Maybe one day! Lol I would be happy with the gold series e2. Would it be possible to trade the Hyla and one of my Rainbow SE vacuums in for a gold rainbow e2?

I have two Rainbow SE vacuums both with power nozzles. I also have a Rainbow D3 vacuum in excellent working condition and a Hyla GST water filtration vacuum. I want a newer Rainbow e2 vacuum and I'm willing to trade both the Rainbow D3 and one of the Rainbow SE vacuums for a Rainbow e2 or I'll...

Thanks! I attached the motor unit to the water basin and I'm letting it set to really apply pressure. Thanks for the tip! I had never thought about that. I was thinking to myself that I wish there was a way to apply pressure all around the gasket... Lol Blonde moment lol I added a picture of...

I gave my Rainbow a good cleaning today and I had to take the gasket off and clean it. After cleaning I let it air dry for several hours. I used spray adhesive and sprayed the back of it and applied it. It's been drying for well over an hour but I'm still able to peel the basket back a little. I...

They're crazy... Okay, I live in a 4,300 square foot house in KY and we don't have even ONE stitch of carpeting in our house. It's all 100% hardwood floor and tile. We do have 3 area rugs. Two of the area rugs are of very good size. A lot of people think I am absolutely crazy for dragging out...

Thanks, eurekastar Thanks for all of the helpful info! It was really helpful! I may decide to take it apart, and if I do, I'll let you know! Thanks again!

As a lot of you all know, I have a few different models of Rainbows. What I have been trying to figure out is if there is a way to clean my hard floors with my Rainbow SE? If so, how? Can I use the squeegee attachment on the aqua mate? If so, how? Thanks.

Okay, you know how I said it was spotless, well it's not. Lol I took the separator off, cleaned it thoroughly, but under the separator, the spider and underneath is dirty. I'm not sure how to get all of this clean. It's just really dusty. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Is there a way I...

Thanks! Thanks everyone for the kind words! I have a question, how do you remove the separator from this model? It's different than my d4 SE. It looks clean but I want to know how to remove it so I can give it a good cleaning and for future use. Thanks

I have a grand total of $56.27 in this later model Rainbow D2! It arrived by UPS earlier and I hurried to open it up! The person selling it online said the unit powered on and that no other testing had been done to the power nozzle or anything. When it arrived I figured I'd open it up and it...

Mark, thanks for the welcome! Thanks for welcoming me to Vacuum Land! I already love it and everyone has helped me fit right in! I hope to get pictures of my other machines posted on a new thread in "Vintage" as soon as I return from our stay in TN. I am hoping to stop by some thrift stores...

Yes, that's the one! The Big Sandy River is correct! I love this model! It's probably my favorite! My grandma has the newer Rainbow e2 blue series. She likes it but I usually vacuum her house because it's so hard for her to use it. She had Polio when she was younger. She likes the way it makes...

On a side note... I spot cleaned my area rug in my bedroom today. This was the result. I had just vacuumed it before too. I want the Rainbow SE aquamate!

Yes, good ole Louisa, KY! I am new to this site, so please forgive me if I don't post something correctly or post it in the wrong place. LOL! I have lived in Louisa my whole life! When I got the rainbow, it was pretty clean. She did take care of it very well but after setting in the garage...

Around the age of three or four I attended the preschool program at the school my aunt worked at. Sometimes after school, she would take me home with her while my parents were at work still. As soon as we got to her house, I would run straight to her hall closet and get her Rainbow out. She had...
