I was told 1500hrs in terms of motor, just wondering how it translates to low speed if they told you (I'll ask when I get everything situated and call next). Plenty for a vac but if you're using it on low as an air purifier it seems like too little as you're talking something that runs 24 7.
From what I gathered from talking to TK it's a great machine, what I see is the newest Rainbow power nozzle which is aweomse and the dual purpose hose. They were at all levels accomodating, and if they provide parts as such I'd be very willing to deal with them.
You're looking at less than half the price of a new Rainbow. I'll give them this, I talked to them personally and they were professional and helpful. I was skeptical, they called me back, I talked to them, they convinced me enough that I'd consider selling them. They were more than the level of accomodation I'd typicallty expect.
Is as it as good as a Rainbow? Once things get all settled I'll get one here I'll compare it with a single speed E Sesires as well as a fresh E2b (just unboxed on Saturday).
Will it be as good as a Rainbow? I dunno, I think it'll be a good alternative to them at a cost of a cheap refurb. I'll be proved right or wrong in the coming weeks. If TK is right and it is as good as he says, I'm not going to hesitate and tell you otherwise.I think at the very least it will be an awesome alternative to a refurb and have a full warranty.
I'm not easily convinced but just fromj their responsiveness to my request I'm considering sellting/distributing them. They seem genuine and helpful in terms of the product. Will they be the next Fantom and push a mass of units into the market in the shrot term? Who's to say! There could be a lot of would be Rainbow owners who couldn't afford them.
