Help me buy a vacuum- rainbow

I love my Rainbow! I use a D4SE & a chrome dome every other day; NOT ONE speck of dirt in my house

I cant wait to buy a Sirena

Don't store the basin on the machine it's not good for the motor. You can always run the unit without a hepa, you initially said you didn't like the idea of a hepa filter.

At first I thought the hepa filter would have to be replaced often, like a bag, but the nice people here informed me that was not true, so I'm good with that.

And, it's okay to store the machine with an empty and clean basin, right?
I always dump, clean, and dry before storing.

Looks like the Sirena has has done well since I started this thread a couple years ago. I see Bed Bath and Beyond is selling them- online anyways. Very Cool.

It's really not ok to store it, it says it on the basin itself. There are little cracks that still hold water inside the basin, unless you left it off for a day or over night then I would say it might be ok. It can lead to bad smells and bearing damage to the motor possibly.

Don't know if anyone mentioned but you should change the water often while cleaning unless you have a really clean house. It helps cut down on the fine dust that can clog the hepa and coat the fan blades.

Thanks for the info.
I do let the basin and separator dry overnight in the bathroom, but now I'll just prop the basin on top instead of storing reassembled. Less work, woo!

One more thing if you have a carpet cleaner never store the dirty water tank on the machine until dry for the same reasons. If you already do it well I guess you can use it for future reference on your next machine. Glad I was able to help, I love my e2b rainbow as well.
