WOW!
Does anyone else think it has a bit of a "Darth Vader" look to it? That power nozzle is a real innovation. I think a trip to my local dealer is on my to-do list for sure.

Wow that's cool! I love the light-up pan. Too bad they are not more affordable. I would buy one if I could spare that much cash.

Hi Rob,
Thanks for posting, I like the new hard surface cleaning kit. I know you mentioned using the rainbow on your garage floor and this looks like that kit will make it even easier. I have an E Series that I am going to use to clean my garage floor this year as I have tried a steam cleaner after vacuuming etc....ok but....
Thanks for posting all the wonderful pictures,
Bud

Oh my God above!
I'm SOOOOO JEALOUS! It looks awesome and the direct connect would be SO MUCH easier and I like the fact that the PN doesn't choke off airflow. That Aquamate looks HUGE......I'm not sure if I'm liking the design of the box...Still thinking on that one.

New Generation Rainbow arrived
Trebor,
Yes the Rainbowmate is available. I have one coming. The machine is so new that they had not come in yet.
I used it last evening and they really have made some wonderful improvments. Such a difference in the air flow on the carpet.
I want to try out the Rainjet and see hlw it works on the hard surface floors.
I noticed that now Rainbow has the following:
(1) AHAM Certified air cleaner
(2) Carpet and rug institute seal of approval
(3) Certified asthma & allergy friendly by Ashma and Allergy Foundation of America
Just glad they made improvments and did not cut corners and make it a cheaper product.
The powered side brushes and the new brushroll on the power nozzle really make a difference in how the carpet looks and the air flow at the nozzle. Changeing the on/off/pause switch makes it much easier to use when going from carpets to throw rugs. I like the fact that I can have the power nozzle turned on without having to grip the switch.

Mark,
I thought the same thing when I first saw the new box but in person they are very attractive and I think it gives the machine a new "fresher look" for the presentation to the customer. It makes you want to see what is in the box.
The new lighting in the basin lets the user easily see when the water needs to be changed. The led lights are positioned to show the churning motion of the water and a new Rainbow customer can quickly see with ONE swipe of the power nozzle the dirt,dust and grit being picked up and at the same time you are not smelling any dust from the exhaust. If you are a regular Rainbow user you understand that you not only don't smell dust but you become used the room having a better fresher smell.

Thread Number: 12723 "New Generation " Rainbow Just
Hmmm...looks kind of "retroish," to me.

This new Rainbow cleaner sounds kinda neat-and the new powernozzle is sure an improvement over the older design-the spinning "whisker" brushes sounds like a good idea-other powernozzles should have this feature.Is the motor in this machine variable speed?Would think rainbow would incorporate a variable speed motor in the new model.Guess I gotta give the Rainbow dist here a call!Would be fun to try and the lights in the bin are a good and novel idea.

New Generation Rainbow arrived
Radek,
The old system used to have one wand for the power nozzle and another set of wands for regular cleanng and yet ANOTHER set of wands for the Squeegee. Also used to have 2 hoses. TOO MUCH STUFF to store.
Now have have ONE long electric hose that works for everything and ONE set of electric wands that are used for the power nozzle,Aquamate and Rainbowjet.
To change from one type of cleaning to washing the floors,all you have to do is slip the bottom wand off and slip the Rainbowjet on. The electric wands take care of the pump in the Rainbowjet. The direct connect wands are great and so much easier to switch from one type of cleaning to use either the Aquamate or the Rainbowjet.
When using the Rainbojet you start with an empty basin. Today I used the Rainbowjet first to wash my kitchen,breakfast room and front hall,then all I had to do was add a little more water for the basin and change the BOTTOM wand from the Rainbowjet to the lower wand and power nozzle. So easy and quick.
It took me just minutes to do 3 rooms of floors.
It takes very little water to use the Rainbowjet and it leaves the floor perfectly dry. The new stainless wnads lock and unlock very easy and they are the same size as the old wands. The trigger that operates the power nozzle also is used to dispense the Rainbowjet cleaning fluid.

the "Rainbowjet" replaces the "Aquamate"?

No......If you look at the entire system in the pic above, you can also see the Aquamate.....So it is something different.
William........I'm so jealous of you at this point!!!!!!!!

You were so fortunate to get the things like the "Aquamate","Rainmate"-with the dealer here you have to do the name bit-provide something like 30 names total of 60 to get those two attachments.They are not sold by the dealer here.Only get them with name lists.I do like how the Aquamate has been updated over the simple one Rainbow used to have.And the Rainmate for folks with hard floors.Sounds like a nice attachment.

New Generatiuon Rainbow arrived
Mark,
Well come on up to Fishers and give it a try. Tania will be coming for a visit real soon.
I am going to try the new designed Aquamate today. The RainbowJet is the new product designed to clean all types of hard surface floors and the Aquamate is for cleaning rugs and carpeting.
I just ordered a second basin to use for the air cleaning. I tired it one night and was surprised to see what it had pulled in from the air overnight.
I still have the Rainbowmate coming. The machine is so new that Ken did not have the new Rainbowmates in yet.
What makes the BIG difference is that now all 3 systems (power nozzle,Aquamate and Rainbowjet) use the same electric hose and wands so change over from one system to another is quick and simple and of course less parts to store.
The warranty is 4 years for whole machine but the Hurricane motor and control board is covered for 8 years. I feel like Kirby,Rainbow has invested a lot of money in getting it right with the electric hose and wands. Time will tell!

The dealer I used is a member of our club. Give Ken a call as he shipped mine from Texas. He gives fast service and fair price.

Getting ready to try the new Aquamate today. Easy set up. You use the same electric hose and wands. All you have to do is click the Aquamate on the end of the wand and the electric wands supply the power and the same hose handle 3-way switch for the power nozzle now operates the Aquamate. It has 3 positions with foot pedal:
(1) carpet clean + water (clean)
(2) water only (rinse)
(3) Extract only
The new carpet cleaning formula is a combination cleaner,reconditioner,deodorizer and protector. Very concentrated so you use very little of the cleaner in the tank.
The new Aquamate has 2 self containded tanks. One for cleaning solution and one for clean water. All self contained. You no longer have to worry about overfilling the water basin because the total in both water tanks on the Aquamate just fill the Rainbow water basin and of course with the new lighted basin you can check your progress.
