My New Rainbow SRX 🌈

[juju93]

How could they have discontinued the mini jet? It’s a great alternative to the aquamate for harder to reach areas. Maybe it just wasn’t available yet for the SRX version of it. I can’t imagine them discontinuing a great alternative to the aquamate, unless their coming up with something new and improved. But if that was the case why release the SRX with the MiniJet, if something better was coming along. I know for sure the MiniJet for the SRX is available somewhere, I say this because if you go to Vimeo and look at the SRX videos, you’ll see the MiniJet box briefly shown in it, so it does exist. Also some of the Facebook pics show the SRX version of the MiniJet. Does the owners manual list any of the optional accessories in it, kind of like what they did with previous models? If so the MiniJet should and probably is mentioned in it.

I wasn’t saying it was gone completely...

Nor am I a distributor for Rexair, I’m just a dealer. I was saying we couldn’t order them anymore for the E2 Black, just a particular model and style. They may have them, our office just doesn’t have them right now. They would have to be a redesign because the hose end is completely different for the SRX. I just find it interesting you get a wet pickup tool that looks like the end of the mini jet but it’s just for pickup of wet spills, not shampooing. They probably do have one, but inventory is in a transition process right now with most distributors still clearing out bits and pieces of the old inventory.

Yes,there is a HEPA filter.

There is something I always wondered about the MiniJet and I hope yall can help me understand. What I don't understand is how does the solution from the tank, which is basically connected to the machine, get the solution through the 10ft hose, to the spraying portion of the tool. Like how does the solution go from point A (the tank solution) to point B (the sprayer portion of the tool, with the extraction head attach). Is there like a tube on the inside of the hose that transfer the solution from one end to the other? any videos coming on the SRX?

Also you know what would be a great potential optional attachment that I think rexair should consider making. Yall know how dyson has the soft roller head for hard floors? Well now a lot of companies are coming out with their own version of the soft roller cleaner head, yes a lot of them are cordless. But how great would it be to have something that dust/ buffs and polish the floors as you vaccum. Don't get me wrong the floor and wall brush looks great but it doesn't look like it can clean as good as those soft roller type brushes. How great would it be for Rexair to design a tool that is just like all the soft roller cleaner heads and yeah they could even sell it as an optional attachment too, expand the versatility of floor cleaning.

Then again I'm also curious to what will get launched, in terms of accessories, later down the line. I mean hey when the E2 Black got released we didnt have the jetpad attachment or even the minijet. Those attachments came later down the line in production. So this has me wondering if rexair will do the same with the SRX. Hopefully they do expand their optional attachment selection.

Yes there is a tube on the inside of the minijet hose

I’m excited to see

I’m really interested to see what all they will release with the SRX. I think a soft roller would be a great idea considering most people have hard-floors throughout most of their homes now.

I may just make a YouTube account so I can post videos of my SRX, along with some of my other machines as well.

 

[juju93]

anybody got any idea on when rexair will update the rainbow website with the new SRX model?

Looks crazy cool!

You know it's built well if Rexair makes it. I feel so obsolete with my gold 2 speed. But I still LOVE it.
I can't get over the size of that PN. It looks huge!
I'm trying to understand taking the separator off and cleaning it. I just take my machine off the dolly, carry it to the counter by the sink and set it on its side to take separator off and wipe all around underneath before storing it. But this looks like it would be harder to do that the way it's designed. I dunno. I'd still LOVE to have one.....but can't pay for another brand new rainbow again especially when mine is in top notch condition. Still, I'd LOVE to have this machine.

 

[mpbyrd]

It’s quite interesting

I was worried about the separator too, it’s a bit more awkward to get to but after you get used to it it’s not so bad. The Powerhead is rather large and considering I have a smaller house it’s taken a bit to get used to without bumping into everything. I really do like the new design though. I was unsure if I would like the belt being in the center but they did a good job of it being recessed In the machine and out of the air way. The stainless steel brushroller also feels quality and grooms the carpet very well with a nice sound to it. All in all it’s a nice machine and the improvements seem justified for the most part.

Could you please post a pic of the hose inlet on the machine and the hose end. Is there anything other than the magnet that holds the hose in place? Also could you please post a pic of the hepa filter. From the video it doesn't look like its incased like the old ones it looks like a filter from an air purifier

 

[mpbyrd]

Here you go!

Let me know if any other angles, it does use a smaller plastic piece to lock it but it doesn’t hold much from that.

 

[chris]

Thanks for the pics

I was also wondering is there a noticeable difference in the weight of the SRX compared to the e2 black

 

[mpbyrd]

Yep

The machine is smaller including a smaller water basin.
You cannot put a whole cap of fresh air concentrate without a machine having issues of over Foaming
I still love it though. You just have to make sure you know They don’t go over that enough in the manuals. I use about half a cap fill instead.

 

[juju93]

I’m a little disappointed they don't have the 4qt basin with this model. They say it’s quieter than the E2 Black, but is that true, even on speed 4 that is?

 

[electromatik]

Looks really nice and cool with the bright lights. Nice update. My only quibbles are the fact you can't take the machine off the dolly (sometimes that's handy) and no retractable cord. I feel that big honking power nozzle could have been made smaller had they tried. It really did appear to groom that carpet excellently.

 

[mark40511]

Um

I can't even put a cap of the fresh air concentrate in my gold 2 speed without foaming like crazy, and I have hard water. I never understood that because it's designed for rainbows specifically. I even have problems with less than that, so I've just stuck to the small bottles or essential oils that do not foam at all.

 

[mpbyrd]

I hate to say this

I’m loving my filter queen, I see it as being more of my daily driver I may using the rainbow for my deep clean weekly. But I still cannot imagine not having a rainbow!

 

[juju93]

would you say the rainbow, in general, is great for small apartments with all laminate flooring?
