Rainbow E2 Black

Wow

I don't know, but I don't think so.....

Thank GOD it was clean water.........I "almost" did the same thing once but caught myself.

Make sure to rinse the hepa and shake all the water out really good, then put the hepa back on the machine, and turn it on high and let the machine run for 20 to 30 minutes and the hepa will be dry as a bone and probably everything else that got water in it (hopefully). I think the motor is protected somehow by water......and I think all the metal parts are stainless? Not sure.

I've told this story before. But before I purchased the 14 foot non electric hose, I was using the standard hose to get a really high place, holding the rainbow and the wand cleaning up high while I was on a ladder. I lost my balance and fell and landed on the floor with the rainbow running...I took the brunt of the fall. Nothing broke and water didn't leak or get into anything luckily.

All seems ok

Did however notice that since hepa was off to clean that I need a replacement. I inherited my gold machine from my Mom when she bought her new system, and not sure if she empties basin enough lol. Not everyone is as obsessed like me LOL! Other than that machine is perfect. Hepa is ordered and luckily my little mishap didn't hurt my machine! Thanks Mark! Love reading your posts and replies! Post some more pics of your machine!!!

Mark, I don't know what happened with my filter,



but I tried that once after I first got the machine and the exhaust air ripped through the HEPA filter. That was an expensive lesson to learn but at least I found out that my HEPA filter looked extremely clean even though the machine was already a year old.


 


The only thing I wish I could change about the Rainbow are the casters on the dolly. They tend to get hung up on fringe and the corners of some of my rugs. I found a few websites that sell nothing but furniture casters and I've seen some that look like the urethane wheels on inline skates. I think some of the Eureka uprights and that new Simplicity/Riccar canister uses wheels like these and I'm tempted to try them.

Rainbow Black

I absolutely love my black Rainbow. I use all of the peripherals: the RainJet, the MiniJet, the AquaMate, and I have a SuperMop attachment for the RainJet on its way, may arrive this week. I keep all of my hard floors and upholstered furniture clean with thia vacuum and don't ever plan to be without one again.

Not that expensive of a lesson.

I find this is the best place to get Rainbow replacement Hepa filters. I'm not 100 percent sure, but I do not think Rexair makes their OWN hepa filters, but I read this company makes their hepa filters for them? I could be wrong, but I remember reading this somewhere.

At any rate, this is a generic but seems to be high quality.
