If people know a new models coming out and that old stock is trying to be gotten rid of will there be some short of markdown on the current model
 
I can give discounts to the club members, however being given the “run around” I will work with someone if they are serious. We do financing, and free shipping.

Mike:
The price of the new machine is unknown, however if you are asking a dealer to basically give up any and all commission so you can get a new machine, I can promise that isn’t going to happen. I have out of kindness given up my commission to a couple of fellow members whom I have sold to. One of which I made a very small commission due to finance costs, but used it to drive the machine out to him which put me at about 12 hours of driving round trip, The other I used my small commission to ship the machine. I will say that regardless, the new machine will be over 1000 and the saying you get what you pay for definitely comes into play.

As far as old stock goes and people knowing anything. No one knows anything about a new model as no one is supposed to be talking about it, and the more people that know about it the harder it will be to sell off the old stock. There are a few people who have leaked a few things out. I’m not one. Rexair’s legal department isn’t anything to screw with hence why I’m not answering ANY questions. I have seen first hand on how they react to “things” to protect themselves. They are more forgiving than Tacony but then again Tacony doesn’t make “one” model of machine, they make several.
This model is kind of a big deal to rexair, kinda like when they introduced the E-Series from the D4 SE.
 
Hey

The last model don't get mad if I'm wrong was black platinum. I had one I just sold.
I have a e2 gold series 2 speed. The gold is awesome. The black was the nicest vacuum I've ever used. It was super quiet and very user friendly.
If I save up liquidate vacuum maybe I can get one.

Hi les! The 2 speeds were gold, blue and black.
People use the terms, “onyx, silver, platinum, bronze” they are a nice machine, however there were improvements that needed to be made over the improvements that were made, if you catch my drift. Not only that but it was time to retire the almost 20 year old design.
Btw congrats on that 913!
 
I know when I bought my e2 in 06 I got 600 from another SEPE I had. Then in 2011 when either the circuit board or controller went bad I got 1000 out of my e2 toward the e2 black plus the aquamate and Rainjet free and the Rainbowmate at a big discount. I love my se but alot of parts are being discontinued and more are sure to follow
 
It’s about time

That they done come out with a new model. I was just thinking about it a few weeks ago that it’s been quite a while (8 years to be exact) since they came out with a new model. I do have a few questions and I hope that y’all can answer them.
1. Is this model smaller in size compare to the current model?
2. Is it quieter in sound?
3. Also do the optional attachments get updates too?
If anyone can send me links to more info on this model that would be great
 
Hello!

To answer some of your questions:
Yes it is quieter, it is a little bit smaller, the optional accessories will be updated in due time, and at this time there is no public info on the new machine as it has not been released to the public as of yet. In all honesty the E-series machine in general has been around since 1998 (21 years!) its a tried and true design but it needed to be retired a long time ago especially with the fact that things are becoming more and more modern and easier to use.
 
Someone posted pics

Someone posted a pic of the new machine in a different group. I feel it looks like a cross of the ritello and a shop vac. At least it will be a minute before it comes out. @electroluxxxx do you work for the worldwide sales up there?
 
Retired

I had the highest black rainbow. I noticed it was not 12 amp like first of gold e2 2 speeds. It was more efficient quieter and a better vacuum. You say retired I say it set the bar high. I'm a Kirby royal compact and riccar guy. The rainbow with my Wessell werk probably highest cfm vacuum I have achieved.
I dissed on rainbow. I got a rainbow for $30 e2 12. I cleaned up and bought a new filter sold quicker than any vacuum I have sold. I got the black and fixed it. I had to buy my wife a gold 2 speed for my wife. It's her favorite vacuum. I don't know if it cleans better than compact but when I use rainbow it seems to smell clean and dust isn't in the air.
I don't know but I use strainer bowl clean out every dump. I'm sold on gold and the black was nicest and in my opinion if I were to buy a new vacuum rainbow is only vacuum I would buy. I feel it's the best vacuum on the market.
If you say retire shiz Kirby hasn't changed in 26 years. I don't have an avalir 2 and I will find one under $200 but I'm not buying a brand new one.
Once my internship starts as a plumber I may buy one and make payments. I know who to buy it from too. I just hear upgrades and its best even better.
I will hate only on old electrolux vacuums that look like station wagons. It doesn't mean I don't know there great vacs just not astetically pleasing as other vacuums.
Ramble over
Sorry if any of this was run on got off 12 hour shift.

Well hopefully Kirby

Will retire the G-series soon. Don’t get me wrong it’s a nice generation but after seeing the past few models be a re-colored sentria (sentria 2 and both avalirs) it gets tiring of seeing it. Then again maybe Kirby actually has a new design but hasn’t released it till they make sure it’s officially what they want to present to the world. For all we know they could’ve been working on it since the first avalir got release. None the less 2020 is so close away and with that being said I would think Kirby would be coming out with something new, kind of like what they did in 1970 with the classic (start of the second generation) and then again in 1990 with the G3 (third generation)


Now back to the real topic of the rainbow. I hope they consider tossing in the power nozzle with the cost of the machine. I never understood why the power nozzle was sold separately from the machine. But hopefully they’ll consider putting it in with what’s already a high price cleaning machine. Also what are the MSRP for the optional attachments. I mean I know rainbow doesn’t post the prices on there website due to distributors having their own pricing method, but what’s the general price range for said optional attachments?
 
Pics in a group?

I assume this was referring to a Facebook group, right? Which one? I don't belong to as many as I once did, and I haven't noticed this topic coming up at all. Just curious.
 
Yes I work for worldwide sales.
@juju93
The power nozzle hasn’t been sold separately here for quite some time. It is possible that other distributors do things differently and I know for a fact that “old” dealers still say that the PN is separate even though it isn’t.
 
I’m also curious to what the new attachments and packaging will look like. And also the manuals... it’s the little things that count to me. I’ve never own and or used a rainbow but someday I’d like too.. I’ve mostly used Kirby’s (growing up) and as an adult I use a Dyson cordless (v7 absolute to be exact)
 
Sorry to go off topic again but I agree I think Kirby really needs to come out with something new and interesting yes the G series are a great machine. I just think they been out for too long.
 
The g series is past its expiration date

Yeah 30 years is a bit long. Plus seeing the sentria (2006) getting renamed and color over and over is really annoying. Hopefully when they do release a new platform it’ll be quieter, and lighter in weight. Because now and days more and more homes have hard floors and if you think using a Kirby on carpet was load it’s a lot louder (and it’s unbearable) on hard surface floors. A few things I would like for Kirby to change in it’s future models/ next platform would be:
1. No more looking like a sentria
2. Quieter sound
3. Lighter in weight
4.a redesign Multi Surface Shampoo System.... I say this because the current one is nice but it’s not convenient to use in hard to reach places such as under the bed or behind the toilets in the bathroom.
5. Maybe a redesign portable shampooer too

Hopefully Rexair did some redesigning with the tools and accessories for the SRX model that’s coming out soon. Does anyone know when this model got launch and how long it’ll be before Rexair officially releases it.
