Are you serious, the exact price, here a rainbow will set you back R 25 000.00 or $3125.00 and a Hyla , the exact same machine bar name costs R 8000.00 or $1000.00 wow that's amazing
is pretty cool. I had a chance to play with one a couple months back. I was not impressed with the switch on the hose handle though. It looked and felt like it would break easily, and pushed very hard. The power nozzle design is also very interesting with the spinning side brushes. The two piece direct connect wands were impressive quality. That brushroll has got to be a pretty penny to replace.
I may be getting the new Rainbow very soon; since the D2's motor is bad. It should be here by Friday, so I have 5 days to try it out; but I think I'll be financing it.
So the D2 was a $1350 trade-in for the new E3; & I'll keep the other D2.
