I would buy again JUST for this function of my Rainbow

It is the time of year to scrub the painted cement porch floor. The Rainbow does such a wonderful job of both scrubbing the irregular surface and then sucking all the dirty water and leaving a clean surface in just a few minutes without damaging the painted surface.
I use 2-3 fills of floor cleaner and only have to dump the water basin one time.
Always finish up by picking up some hot water that cleans the hose and wands. They air dry and are left perfectly clean.
I would buy another Rainbow if this was ALL it did well. Saves so much time and effort trying to use the old garden hose and broom and it dries in seconds.
The smaller flip over head is so handy. Scrub with one side and flip it over and suck up all the dirty water even out of the irregular surfaces.

Glad to see that you're enjoying your Rainbow and that the tools suit you.

I have a 2004 E2-type12 as my newest Rainbow. While the machine has the same motor and cleans as well as the new one, I wish I had the new model so I could get and use all those neat new tools that won't fit any older models. I really like the mop attachment!! However I honestly don't care for the new PN design with those stupid spiny brushes and super narrow actual suction cleaning path.

Actually

the NEW rainbow PN is their best PN ever.........the PN that came with my 2 speed gold e series (that I love by the way) is adequate. But the rainbow itself is GREAT ... I used that baby for five hours a few days ago. I was exhausted but everything was so clean and been a week and still not bad.

I hate dragging it out........cleaning it and putting it away.......but I don't have to clean as often so that makes up for it....

I have a 2002 Rainbow E (single speed) and all these fun attachments work with it. The new Minijet, etc. these attachments will not work with a D4SE or earlier because of the way the attach and draw power from the machine.
