Wrong again, Kirbylover. Rainbows don't tend to tip over. The separator keeps the water out of the motor. I turned thousands of Rainbows completely upside down during the demonstration.
James may have spent 5 years designing a bagless vacuum, the engineers at Rexair have spent 75 years perfecting their system. Again, just because you don't know something exists, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Had he been able to buy a Rainbow instead of that Hoover Junior (which he claimed was "permanently clogged"), he wouldn't have had to waste 5 years trying to invent something that had already been invented.
As much as I admire James for what he's done and how he's changed the landscape of vacuum cleaners, I wish he would learn to stop trying to reinvent the wheel - and actually make an extremely durable vacuum. A steel brush roller with replaceable brushes would be great. A real height adjustment would be nice too. A hose you don't have to 'fight' when you use would be a dream. A real dusting brush would be nice too. The ever growing desire to make his machine for less and less money, and shortening the overall life expectancy doesn't sit well with me. Will there be 50 year old Dyson vacuums still running? I doubt it. There are millions of 50 year old Rainbows still running and cleaning people's homes.
