rainbow se extremly complete.

[edgar]

I found the se rainbow on a yard sale. Paid 80 euro's for it about 70 dollars I think and it has everything. Personaly i like this model the best of all rainbows, because i am a sucker for the eighties and this cleaner shows that with a little bit of 90 ties options. It came with 4 sets of pipes!!?? 1 metal for the PN 1 2 small metal pipes for hard floor cleaning, 1 set for the aqua mate, and 1 set of plastic to clean up wet dirt. 2 hoses, all the normal atachments, a nozzle to clean hard floors and clean windows. a powermate (small powernozle) and the complete aquamate set including a full bottle of cleanser. I think it is a beauty.

You certainly got your money's worth! It's beautiful!

Yes, excellent deal with all those often missing pieces.

My parents bought a new Rainbow SE in 1993 w/everything shown in pics; but I wish I'd waited 2 buy it 4 less (we paid US $1500) Now after 16 yrs of use it barely has suction by now since we've NEVER had it serviced after all these yrs.

Are you willing to sell your rainbow? I really want one. If you looking at selling, I may be interested. Shoot me a PM if so.

 

[luxg]

Edgar, you really got a good deal there!! Someone paid a lot of money for all those extras. Do you like using this machine?

 

[codyf]

Great machine

I got a SE last year, and it is my "everyday" vacuum. I love mine, does a excelent job, I did get to see a new one last month, and as soon as i get this house built i am getting one. Does anyone know how the SE and new E compare?

 

[brandon_w_t]

Se and E

There are lots of differences obviously. Looks. I like the SEs looks a little better.

But the motor- more power in the E. A Brushless motor- which makes it sound like a jet starting up- 2 speeds.

But other than that- its the same. the SE is one of the quietest vacuums on the planet and is very powerful

 

[tristar]

I thought the E series had a standard series-wound motor, but the E2 was the first model to have the brushless motor? Someone correct me if I'm wrong, please!

 

[brandon_w_t]

yep

sorry. I forgot that.

The e was identical to the SE (except for looks and a little more power)

The E2 has a brushless motor- much more quiet- and some more power.

I think you should get yourself a nice DC3 or DC4. They run cheap, and it would be a good addition to any collection.

No thanks.....I'm not a fan of emptying wet hair, mud, and mold out of my vacuum every time I use it! I'll stick to bags, thanks....

Rainbow water

I just flush mine down the toilet. No septic here. And I only use the 4 quart basin.....Bill in Az.....

 

[edgar]

it works fantastic

well I took the se for a total use today. I vacuumd carpets, hard floors, shampood the sofa and the stairs, and used the wet brush thing on my kitchen floor. I was surprised about the dirt that came out the floors, I have a cleaning lady twice a week !!!! conclusion, I think the thing is briliant and looking for another one lol.

my father has the SE & after 16 yrs he STIL RAVES about that Rainbow despite being 1/2 as powerful (I think its due 2 bearing problems) but I'll get it fixed b4 selling it.

That Rianbow is the one my pop has

 

[xraytech]

has anyone used the aquamate? I was wondering how well they worked. I was thinking about getting an older rainbow d3c or d4c with an aquamate to use just to shampoo with, is it worth it?

What a beautiful Rainbow! And how interesting to know that the exact same setup was sold in Belgium.

The whole reason behind my fascination with vacuums is because my mom purchased a D3C when I was 2. Rainbows will always hold a special place in my heart because of this. I think my favorite model is the chocolate brown D2. Matter of fact, I don't think....I know!
