What's the difference between this vac and the Rainbow?
The difference would be quality, warranty, features, options, durability, and likely service and parts. Rainbow parts and service are at every turn, and if you don't live in a town with a rainbow office, parts for every model are plentiful online. This machine doesn't look too bad though, especially if you really want a water filtration vacuum, and can't afford a rainbow. I do really love the red though. These are even cheaper than the sirena.

Something odd is telling me that this is a piece of junk like those H2O vacuums I saw on informercials before and I hear that they are horrible. But I could be wrong on this one.

Since this machine has a separator, and sounds in the infomercial JUST LIKE a Sirena, I'm assuming they are buying the same 'drop in' motor. Ocean Blue uses that same motor as well. With no HEPA filter, it's kind of like using a 25 year old Rainbow. Can't tell how good the Chinese power nozzle is, since we never see the brush roller. For $500, it's cheaper than a Dyson Cinetic and more useful. Warranty work means sending it to Tennessee, and waiting to get it back.
I might order one to see for myself how cheaply they can copy the Rainbow (an old one at that).

It's nice to at least hear the infomercial hosts talk about airflow... Typically it's all about suction! Suction! Suction!

Shark talks
about water lift. I guess all are relative in a way. Air flow moves dirt, suction pulls dirt and makes water lift.
Is it easier to lift water, which is denser than air? Generally wet/dry vacuums have less powerfull motors, but water lift tests are done with a narrow column of water.

Wet dry vacuums.....
Water filtration vacuums and wet/dry vacuums aren't the same thing. Not even similar. If that's what you meant by wet/dry vacs I mean. Water filtration vacs are unique in regard to how they work, and there motors in general. The ones that use a separator anyway.

Interesting.
Looks to be the one modern infomercial vacuum that may be worth buying. Being the cheapest water filtration vacuum with a separator, it should sell well. But, I still doubt it's as good as a Rainbow or even a Sirena. If someone buys one, I'd love to see a review of it. It's essentially a Airflow Robot, if you look at the company's other videos. The main difference is that the Quantum does not have the Wessel Werk nozzle.

My 2¢¢ before taxes LoL
It reminds me of the Robot they sometimes have listed on eBay, same characteristics, different color.

As an owner of Sirena and a Rainbow
I can tell you that Sirena isn't nearly the quality of rainbow, and I also can tell immediately that the Sirena's separator isn't nearly as effective as Rainbows. I can see dirt getting on the fans and the hepa filter comes off and, although it's very easy to wash, you can see dirt on it. My Rainbow is 10 years old now, and not nearly the amount of dirt gets past its separator like it does the Sirena. The Sirena is more of a pain to clean too. I hate the dolly -
This all said, it does it's job much like the Rainbow does. If I didn't have my Rainbow, I would use it a lot more, but it takes me longer to clean up after than the rainbow. I've decided at some point I'm going to sell it. I just never use it.
So if this thing is cheaper than Sirena, I'm imagining it's much worse

I'm watching the infomercial now
When they show those HORRIBLY dirty vacuums, filled with so much dirt looking like they came out of a landfill after 10 years - so dramatic.
I have to admit, I can see that horrible shark round foam filter they pull out loaded with dirt actually being true. I have a Shark, and I clean the filters with another vacuum after every use. He's right about the suction/airflow, but wrong too. For example, if I clean my entire house with my shark, and it still has plenty of airflow with a full bin..so yea, airflow cleans, not suction - but they act like if you start cleaning with a bagless vacuum, as soon as you make one pass, the airflow is completely gone......Not true!

Its looks odd to me. It seems like the tools, wands and hoses are of good quality but that claim about "Piano grade wire enforcement " had me dying laughing. Cheap piano string wire from China is full of impurities and can snap like a twig in a strong wind (I'm a piano technician so Ii speak from experience) The brushes looked like the were using horse hair and metal wands seemed very nice quality but the main unit and power nozzle seemed really cheap and plasticie. As stated above- they didn't show the base of the power nozzle to show the brush roll nor do I recall them showing the separator. I think one would be better off purchasing a quality refurbished Rainbow D4 SE for the same or maybe even less price than to purchase this vacuum and expect the the same longevity but I could be wrong.

Imagine how many
of these will sell. One lady on the commercial was like "I've never heard of a vacuum using water" like it's something new and awesome! I have a feeling these will sell big time but people will destroy them pretty quickly because, well, you know how most people are.
Even though they definitely won't go over maintenance on the infomerical - I'm sure it's in the instructions - but will most people read the instructions on how to clean the separator frequently and not store the basin on the unit when not in use? No? I'm so cynical. Sorry
