Hey Guys,
Figured I would take a few minutes and share some thoughts on the SRX. First its a nice vacuum that needs a bigger motor. Compared to the E2B, the loss in water lift 80 on the E2B and 60 on the SRX is noticeable. I like the quality of the machine, especially the hose connection. Forward facing controls and improved handle grip, and it seems to roll easier. Sruts and a bigger HEPA I like, and the attachments are still high quality and love the digital motors.
The PN3 is both good and bad. Quiet, leaks air everywhere, poor locking mechanism, center belt design, very narrow air path. However, I added the black on black HD brush strips and removed the ridges on the rollers behind the nozzle opening leaving just the small black roller itself. Amazing performance compared to stock with a significant increase in pick up over the standard configuration or the PN12. The wands are nice but leak as well. Rainbow engineers should have spent more time looking at the performance characteristics of Sebo, Miele and Lux and less time on, say over engineered cord holders.
Excellent scent capabilities, good performance, versatility and low operating costs with no loss of suction are plusses. Added time dealing with the water and being way overpriced are definite minuses. Power nozzle not suitable for use on hard floors due to belt guard and scratching potential.
