The Rainbow, the Robot, and the Ritello

I recently got a Robot vacuum. My father-in-law saw it on Facebook Marketplace for a song and asked me if I wanted it. Turmix made the Robot. Turmix used to make Rainbow vacuums, under contract, for export to Europe. When Rexair expanded their factory and canceled the contract, Turmix copied the Rainbow. Patents last 18 years and there was nothing still under patent. The Robot is more powerful and has a larger water basin than Rainbow. It also has a far superior power nozzle.

The German Wessel Werks power nozzle is the EBK 340

The Robot is taller to accommodate a large motor and fan system.

Joining the trio is the mighty Ritello. One of the most interesting water machines out there.

I love the Ritello. The power nozzle is designed for wet or dry use. The power nozzle that shampoos carpets.

I believe the Robot eventually became the Quantum, if that's the case, it has a better separator, it gets in to the water better than the Rainbow. I know Rexair's newest model Rainbow has a lot of issues and is far too expensive.
