I paid nearly $3,000 for my rainbow in 2013. Hate the price but love the product. It's still going strong. Tackles every job with ease. I feel like this thing is going to last forever.
same, but love it so far. just got one friday im looking forward to replacing all my humidifiers, air "purifiers", and my vacuum while gaining a shampooer/detailer
@@kiloton1920 think about it though. Two people here said that the rainbow has lasted them years. I’ve owned a 600$ dyson and it died in two years and they just seem to die fast. 600 x 7.5 (15 years divided by 2) and that’s around 3,750 dollars. One person here said 30 years thats 9000$ you are spending on a vacuum when you could front 3000 to begin with and have a product that’s long lasting.
I've had the same Rainbow vacuum for over 30 years and I absolutely LOVE it! I get my Rainbow vacuum serviced every few years and my 30 year old vacuum still has the best suction ever. I've retrieved jewelry dropped down drains, cleared clogged dains, sucked up every possible wet mess there is and I would not trade my Rainbow for any other vacuum cleaner. My husband bought mine at my request for an engagement gift; he was shocked that I didn't ask for jewelry or whatever. No better vacuum than Rainbow!
Hello I'm buying my machine today and I'm really looking forward to it... can u tell me more about your experience with the vacuum and any tips and tricks
@@janjones4960 is yours the original chrome dome? I bought my unit and I think it was right after they came out with the beater bar carpet head with the electrical connection in the hose. It came with two hoses, one for wet pick-ups - no electrical connections. It was a huge investment for a 20 something single girl, but I was able to have dogs, even though I suffered with allergies. I sold my chrome dome (I don't know why all these years later) As I was detailing it to sell I discovered that the exhaust air wasn't as clean as Rainbow wanted you to believe. The inside of the walls of the dome had caked on mud that required a lot of elbow grease to clean out. I understand that the newer models have a final stage heppa filter to catch those particles that the water doesn't trap. I don't think they are worth the money anymore since the sales hype leads you to think they are flawless. Frankly, I am very happy with the results i get, and the longevity of, our Dyson.

The HUGE ADVANTAGE of the Rainbow is that bugs, fleas, bug eggs, spiders, are DEAD IN THE WATER!! I've had my Rainbow for almost 30 years and it still runs! I got a deeper water tank so I don't have to fill it up as much as the smaller water tanks. Also, I used to have expensive Kirby's and Electroluxs and the motors all died. You have to get the vacuum bags all the time and all it does is filter out the bigger dirt particles and makes it go out the other end as smaller dust particles. That's why the filters smell so bad. You just redistribute the dirt to go out the other side of the filter and it still gets back into your carpets, floors, nose , air. When you suck up the dirt in the Rainbow, all the dirt, the mud, the dust gets trapped in the water filter and it doesn't go out the other end. No more accumulated flea eggs, spiders, ants, bugs etc. They instantly drown, so you don't have to worry that they will crawl out of your vacuum to go back into your home!!! I love the concept.
Owned since 1984 ,love it wouldn't use any other machine......love the fresh air.never a smelly moldy smell coming from old filters.n yes need to clean after each use....small chore for fabulous results.....

My E2 Type 2 silver vacuum died on me after 16 years of use without cleaning the water separator (not aware until I found out in youtube).

@@tammyjackson8403 yes it needs water in the basin. Fill it up to the line and add some of the scents that rainbow sells for the vacuum…. Or if you don’t want to spend 30 on their scents I used essential oils in mine
Sat through the in-home presentation. Fatalistically premium product. really. Totally worth it just for the entertainment...and the 'free, no obligation' room sanitizer. Then, of course, the final question: how much. $3995. But...the famous, "today" discount, $200 credit if I give him my old vacuum, another $200 credit if I post on social media, my contact list so they can solicit my friends and if they buy, I get $100 cash-back. Financing (thru 'outside' company) at 24%. Then they had the nerve to tell me it isn't a MLM-style company.
We did too. I didn't buy it, but bought a used one off marketplace for $500. Only a year old and works great. It's a great product, but I can't see paying the markup on it.
@@Ricardo-C I've had the same Rainbow for 30 years, so yes, definitely worth the price. I've cleared clogged drains, retrieved jewelry dropped down the drain, all baby accidents, pet accidents, everything. Even after 30 years my vacuum has better suction than the "new" cheapo my mom bought. One of the best presents my husband ever bought for me.
Agreed. Rainbow Salesman try to pinch every penny out of you. We sell reconditioned units around that price $1000 price. Check out our website www.greatvacs.com if you're in the market for one.
it doesnt pick it up, i can vouch for my crummy insulation on my rented apt, my air has NEVER been cleaner or fresher even when i moved in. i was recently prescribed an inhaler getting over covid 3 wks ago and i dont even need it anymore and my lungs havent been happier, and i used to smoke. i used the rainbow in my bedroom before going to bed and i let the rainmate just run in my livingroom and my whole apt ( appox 1800 sq ft) the whole thing is fresh/cleaner.
I became a believer a long time ago when I was first introduced to Rainbow by chance. At the time I had been a die-hard fan of KIRBY which is still a good machine, but no match for the Rainbow. I was shocked how well the Rainbow E2 and D-4 spanked the competition. I always loved the water and I am a certified SCUBA Diver as well; I was pleasantly impressed with the Rainbow water based filtration system. Simply put: wet dirt doesn't fly! Yes there are a few more steps with Rainbow in comparison-like dumping out the water and cleaning out the tank... who wants to live in a filthy environment? I purchased the old D-4 which is a great choice. I have the bigger tank, you should invest in a bigger tank too. My old D-4 has proven to be the most amazing vac ever! My house has never been cleaner. The amount of filth this Rainbow D-4 is amazing. I have two dogs and they can't help it, they are always dragging in stuff with their paws. I'll never be without a dog or my D-4 Rainbow. When I use the Rainbow, I vac very, very slowly, so I can pick up the maximum dirt and filth by the pound, literally!!! What other system picks up dirt by the pound? Oh, the last KIRBY was donated to a charity re-sale store. No more KIRBY's for me, I'm a Rainbow fan for ever and you'll be one too. Make sure you get one or two of the little companion Rainmate, you'll love it. Sure it's an investment. Your investing in your family's health. Amortize the cost over 40 years, and you'll see your saving money: not having to by carpet so often. Not having to buy those cheap plastic vacuums from the big box store. Not having to get the carpets cleaned professionally once or twice or year, etc. I did a barefoot test myself. I cleaned and area with KIRBY, then alongside area I did the rainbow with the same amount of vacuum time. The Rainbow side of the carpet felt clean and fluffy-soft, better than new as a matter of fact. The other side done with the KIRBY, not so much. You can feel the difference. Then I dumped the Rainbow's tank just to see for my self what would happen if I went over the KIRBY'S area with a clean water supply in the Rainbow. KIRBY left all the dirt for some reason??? Rainbow picked up so much filth, I actually felt sorry for the KIRBY. KIRBY you gotta go! Rainbow saved the day and from that moment on, it's Rainbow for me! Don't be fooled, do your own tests and you'll see for yourself. Rainbow will win every time. You'll love Rainbow as much as I do.
Don’t waste your $$$. I paid over $2K and did not even have the have the shampoo attachment which the rep said “IT WILL HELP VACCUM YOU CARPETS”. I’ve used the vacuum 3x and I wanted the shampoo attachments and not included after paying over $2K!!!
My parents bought their Rainbow at least 35 years ago (my dad said it's closer to 40) and the main carpet beater just conked out yesterday (June 8, 2024), the motor on the Rainbow unit is fine. My dad now 91 years old told me they've never had to get it serviced, but I did have to replace the hose once a few years ago.
That sounds about right :) Rainbows last decades and one reason why we rebuilt them. When my wife's Grandpa passed (they lived in the same house in Chicago their who lives and they were amazing people) we were going through their basement and found a 1942 Rainbow. I could not help it I plugged it in and it fired right up. They were just straight suction back then but it still worked great! Compare that to the disposable stuff everyone buys at Walmart you are for sure money ahead to buy a Rainbow. www.greatvacs.com/collections/rainbow-vacuum-cleaners
I have just purchased a used E2 should the lower speed "churn" the water? Because this one is barely sucking in any air at that speed? Sounds like a jet taking off in the other speed.
I have an older model and the older carpet cleaner which gave out and cannot get parts for. Did he say that the Pro Lux rug cleaner fits even older models or just all the newer models?
Roy Mazingo Well, I have a generator that doesn’t run on its own. But I found a way to power it by pulling air through the exhaust with another vacuum. So I hook the rainbow up to the generator and the generator is powered with another vacuum. (Waiting for Rainbow to make a model with a built in generator or nuclear fission device to power it.)
Do you have a video or link to parts for a rainbow E series, purchased in 2018, to replace the hose end that goes into the machine. One of my side tabs broke off.
Was told that you shouldn't use any vac to pickup say carpet fresh powder type products from your carpet is that true? Was told it messes with the filters and motor and doesn't pick up the fine powder either.
I bought the Rainbow vacuum from 2015 in Hong Kong, but I never know how to clean the carpet during I haven't in HK. However, last year I moved in UK, Would you please help to advise demo for me. Also how to use the sprayer cleaning the window. Thanks
Maybe you can help me. My e series is spinning, and functioning, but exactly backwards. It's blowing out the intake and sucking in the side that should be blowing up an air mattress. Suggestions?
Ok I have a major request... can you do a carpet. Cleaning review on the sirenna vs rainbow. Kind of like a cleaning olympics to show us which is best? There’s videos of people vacuuming with one and the other ride behind but that’s idiotic. Can we get an honest side by side comparison as consumers please lol
Just some history on sirenna. They are simply the patents from rainbow 20-30 years ago. Companies can only use patents for so long until they have to release them to the public. So sirenna is just outdated rainbow with some cheaper parts thrown in
Because the Rainbow uses air flow and not suction, if you must use the power nozzle on the hard floor, simply use the lowest height setting and DO NOT engage the beater bar (take your finger off the button so the power nozzle motor does not come on). This is to preserve the brushes. Also, do not use the power nozzle to clean up wet messes.
Hellow can I ask a question?What happen to my rainbow vaccum if I put into higher speed it turns off the power and doesn’t work but if put it in lower speed its working.What happen and what should I do?..
Why would the Rainbow se does not seal correctly? It is properly filled with water but it spits the water from the pan. Almost like it does not seal correctly. What can I do?
Thanks for the comment. Sounds like your water bowl is the main issue and the glue that seals the top pan to the actual plastic bowl is now bad allowing water to seep or leak through. You can contact us at Service@greatvacs.com and we can get you a new bowl.
most all of their units are a purify while your cleaning floors...I drop a 'bit' of RealLem (the yellow store btl ) in mine's H20 makes all smell so good !!!
Rainbow vacuums have an exhaust port which blows out warm/hot air, so yes you could use a Rainbow vacuum cleaner to dry your hair. However, a normal hair dryer would be more much more convenient/lightweight.
I myself am a Rainbow dealer that is what I do for a living I sell them we highly recommend people do not buy rainbow vacuums from anybody but the Rainbow industry themselves as we provide a ten year warranty. Also the Rainbow system will not work affectively if you do not have the rainbow attachments that shampooer is not meant for the rainbow that piece that you used on the couch also it’s not meant for the rainbow all of the dry attachments are complete free with your purchase you could also get all the wet attachments completely for free very easily. Also you take all those things that you had listed if someone didn’t know about them they did not buy them from Rainbow dealer that is what makes the rainbow not just good but amazing
Then the prices of the product needs to come waaayyy down. I’d go used market all day long for them. I can get parts for them online and do the work myself if needed and still spend less. 10 year warranty is not worth it. Should be a lifetime given how much they cost.
i just got an srx model, but seeing the "E" model demonstrated to have the updated/latest one? mine has 3 speeds, and also i got mine after being contacted from rainbow demo request so im hoping the lady i met was legit. i have documents etc, is there a way to confirm her status myself?
I have a 3 year old rainbow and love it. I was given a rainmate when I bought the rainbow. My rainmate has been sitting for a year and now its totally dead. I cleaned the fan following a TH-cam video but still nothing. The led lights come on but thats all. Think this is fixable or will I just need to purchase another one if I want a working one??
yes I just had my first demo. So so so impressed. Got the free rainmate, and figured that no other company gives something just for watching. Smells great and even if it doesn't last much over a year. It's sure fun for while it lasts. I just loved the rainbow. Carpet feels NEW and fluffy and oooo how nice my air smells. Seeing the basic dust floating in the air under their light is when I got sold. Believing for less sinus infections, and any allergies I have. :)
i was so happy to find another vacuum on sale today. I feel like the rainbow really made cleaning a chore. It seems like a high quality unit with lots of useful features, I'll still use it as a blower and wet-vac, but these videos never tell you what you're supposed to do with the dirty, wet cat-hairball you're left with after the fact. really looking forward to dumping the collections from my new vacuum in the trash and moving on
I usually dump the water down the toilet, straining it so that I can grab all of the "wet cat-hairball" with a grocery bag or a glove and throw it in the garbage. Rainbow's don't have a filter that eventually gets clogged and needs replacing. Don't let your rAINBOW GO TO WASTE 🥲 these things are too dang expensive lol
All these comments are the company, scam, if you want a vacuum cleaner loke this for half the price go too walmart, around here we call it the Tupperware scam
Lol how is this a scam? We buy used Rainbows and refurbish them and sell them cheaper compared to Rainbow door to door salesman. We've been in this business for 22 years. Also, do you realize how much of a waste of time it would be to have all these comments be from us? Seems as if you were scammed by someone for a Rainbow and you're taking it out on us. Thanks for the comment tho.
We tend to fill our basin of water over the suggested amount. When only filling it to the top of the dome, we were refilling it every day. Filling it more gets a few days at least. No messes or spills. Is this a bad idea? Will it hurt our machine?
question for rainbow six users. Girlfriend just got one and in the lowest air purification setting it makes a high pitch sound. Anyone have this issue?
Hi Great Vacs. Kindly show us how to change or clean the hepa filter. I just bought the Rainbow SRX and I am checking all the parts of the machine for my own peace of mind and to know that everything is intact. I am hoping for your quick response.
Thanks for the question Andy. It would be better to use an ozone generator to help remove the smoke smell from the RV. If you need any extra assistance please reach out to us at service@greatvacs.com
They do work good but it is like hauling around a shop vac through your house. And you have to take it apart, fill the tub with water, put it back together then pull it around the house. We like ours but pretty much never use it. We bought a Ryobi cordless stick vacuum and love it. You just grab it and walk around the house cleaning. Not cords or huge vacuum to pull around. When we finish vacuuming with the Ryobi, I charge the battery (which takes about 2 hours) and put it back on the vacuum and it is ready to go for the next time I want to use it. And I can clean the entire 2,400 sf house on just 1 charge.
@@Smooththatsme In standard tests conducted by Consumer Reports and the Carpet and Rug Institute, the Rainbow has proven to be somewhat mediocre. In CRI tests, the Rainbow removed less than 55% of soil earning it the Silver certification.
Me and my wife tried selling them as a side job about 25 years ago. They were assholes. They wanted use to sell the customer stuff they did not need plus it’s a big pyramid scam
Thanks for the comment. Yes, we ship to Alaska. However, you would be responsible for shipping. If you have any extras question send us an email at service@greatvacs.com
Did anyone ever use a Ocean Blue? This was made after Rainbow. It works just like this but came with extra stuff. It was 2k so, I couldn't afford one but it took sand out of carpet that was cleaned. The sand would be per sand. Just put a panty hose in-between your vac parts u'll see what your picking up that your vacuums leave behind..yes even shark and Dyson...
We have experience with Ocean Blue Vacuums and they're very similar when it comes to performance. Both use water filtration but the E series models will have HEPA filtration along with water filtration where as Ocean Blue don't.
If you didn't know this, the person who gave you the demo did not know the Rainbow to start with. All who give a demo in your house should know how the cleaning system works and what else it can do.
Detached the vacuum hose. Fill up the water as usual. Drop two squints of anti viral liquid(Believe rainbow sends u a bottle with any vacuum purchase). Turn it on on high rpm for 30minutes then let it run on low rpm for few hours. Another during the low rpm u can drop a few fragrance of any kind to get rid of that anti viral smell Finally it is recommended to run some air like fans or air conditioning in the room when doing it as it aids in air circulation.
@@jahurz93 my gal today during demo said it can be left on permanently as an air purifier and for the aroma. motor guaranteed 10 years, she did a great demo (her third one)

@@drivethrupoet Wrong brother, you're wrong! Haven't you heard that there are vacuum kits from some stores and even in electronic outlets, that attaches to a vacuum cleaner ventury (the part that you attach a brush, motorized brush head,etc.) This kit is so handy that it has enough suction to remove dust and biscuit crumbs lodged under the keys. And this kit has a suction controller at the connection point to allow air to be sucked in as part of how much suction do you need and also to avoid overheating the vacuum motor. It cost $15 (last I looked) and it is feasible, especially designed to vacuum keyboards, mother boards and other electronics.

Yes a Rainbow cleans pet hair rather well... but pet hair clogs drains, even toilet drains. I found out the hard way. It takes a while but per hair builds up in the toilet drain traps over time until one day you have an emergency clog that requires a professional. Warning if you buy a rainbow and own a pet that sheds... you better find a way of disposing of the filthy water. Dump it outside? Fine if you live in a house with a yard but not practical if you live in a hi rise.
I have a dog that sheds a lot! I dump my water into a colander and let it drain into the ground, then I throw the gobs of hair in the garbage. Yes this won’t work if you live in a high rise with no yard, but all you need is 12” in a corner of the yard to do this.
It may be too late for this, but... I purchased a cheap, large colander. I sit it in the toilet seat and then pour the dirty water from the basin into the toilet. Then I just dump the contents of the colander into a plastic bag and throw it away. :)
We have lived in this hs since 81 I have a "SPOT" in the yard where m y "tub' is empty EVERY TIME for 2 reasons...! safe 2 IF something is lost in the hs....we KNOW where to look for it !!! oh 3 the dirt help fill in that spot...plussss all arnd. !!!
Rainbow vacuum worth the $$! You will never buy another vacuum cleaner once you try it. They are Michigan made (I’m from MI). I rent space in a rainbow distributors building and people have same unit 30-49 years+! The people that own rainbows wouldn’t have any other vacuum cleaner. You must maintain them every couple years like a tuneup. My boss bought me a refurbished one I am sold on them!👍👍👍☮️

But...the famous, "today" discount, $200 credit if I give him my old vacuum, another $200 credit if I post on social media, my contact list so they can solicit my friends and if they buy, I get $100 cash-back. Financing (thru 'outside' company) at 24%.
Then they had the nerve to tell me it isn't a MLM-style company.
We did too. I didn't buy it, but bought a used one off marketplace for $500. Only a year old and works great. It's a great product, but I can't see paying the markup on it.
Definitely an MLM, I got trapped too but a really good vacuum 😊
What attachment are you using to clean your sofa to pickup pet hair? I have a e2 type 12
Just bought ours a few weeks ago, and we love it!!!🥰
I love mine too. Worth every penny. There is no comparison and it replaces many machines I would replace every few years!
@@Ricardo-C I've had the same Rainbow for 30 years, so yes, definitely worth the price. I've cleared clogged drains, retrieved jewelry dropped down the drain, all baby accidents, pet accidents, everything. Even after 30 years my vacuum has better suction than the "new" cheapo my mom bought. One of the best presents my husband ever bought for me.
Way to expensive it is 3200 is should be about a thousand.
Agreed. Rainbow Salesman try to pinch every penny out of you. We sell reconditioned units around that price $1000 price. Check out our website www.greatvacs.com if you're in the market for one.
Does running the air purifier help with pet hair?
it doesnt pick it up, i can vouch for my crummy insulation on my rented apt, my air has NEVER been cleaner or fresher even when i moved in. i was recently prescribed an inhaler getting over covid 3 wks ago and i dont even need it anymore and my lungs havent been happier, and i used to smoke. i used the rainbow in my bedroom before going to bed and i let the rainmate just run in my livingroom and my whole apt ( appox 1800 sq ft) the whole thing is fresh/cleaner.
0:59 but no cat litter, plaster dust, flour etc ...
No cat litter?! Thats a big deal breaker for me.
you NEED to check my "yard pile" ....there ARE ALLLL of your "NOS'... in it !!!
Hi. You mentioned air purifier. I would like to eliminate humidity inside the house. Is there a way to do this with the rainbow Vacuum?ty
I became a believer a long time ago when I was first introduced to Rainbow by chance. At the time I had been a die-hard fan of KIRBY which is still a good machine, but no match for the Rainbow. I was shocked how well the Rainbow E2 and D-4 spanked the competition.
I always loved the water and I am a certified SCUBA Diver as well; I was pleasantly impressed with the Rainbow water based filtration system. Simply put: wet dirt doesn't fly! Yes there are a few more steps with Rainbow in comparison-like dumping out the water and cleaning out the tank... who wants to live in a filthy environment? I purchased the old D-4 which is a great choice. I have the bigger tank, you should invest in a bigger tank too. My old D-4 has proven to be the most amazing vac ever! My house has never been cleaner.
The amount of filth this Rainbow D-4 is amazing. I have two dogs and they can't help it, they are always dragging in stuff with their paws. I'll never be without a dog or my D-4 Rainbow. When I use the Rainbow, I vac very, very slowly, so I can pick up the maximum dirt and filth by the pound, literally!!! What other system picks up dirt by the pound? Oh, the last KIRBY was donated to a charity re-sale store. No more KIRBY's for me, I'm a Rainbow fan for ever and you'll be one too.
Make sure you get one or two of the little companion Rainmate, you'll love it. Sure it's an investment. Your investing in your family's health. Amortize the cost over 40 years, and you'll see your saving money: not having to by carpet so often. Not having to buy those cheap plastic vacuums from the big box store. Not having to get the carpets cleaned professionally once or twice or year, etc. I did a barefoot test myself. I cleaned and area with KIRBY, then alongside area I did the rainbow with the same amount of vacuum time. The Rainbow side of the carpet felt clean and fluffy-soft, better than new as a matter of fact. The other side done with the KIRBY, not so much. You can feel the difference.
Then I dumped the Rainbow's tank just to see for my self what would happen if I went over the KIRBY'S area with a clean water supply in the Rainbow. KIRBY left all the dirt for some reason??? Rainbow picked up so much filth, I actually felt sorry for the KIRBY. KIRBY you gotta go! Rainbow saved the day and from that moment on, it's Rainbow for me! Don't be fooled, do your own tests and you'll see for yourself. Rainbow will win every time. You'll love Rainbow as much as I do.
Don’t waste your $$$. I paid over $2K and did not even have the have the shampoo attachment which the rep said “IT WILL HELP VACCUM YOU CARPETS”. I’ve used the vacuum 3x and I wanted the shampoo attachments and not included after paying over $2K!!!
My parents bought their Rainbow at least 35 years ago (my dad said it's closer to 40) and the main carpet beater just conked out yesterday (June 8, 2024), the motor on the Rainbow unit is fine. My dad now 91 years old told me they've never had to get it serviced, but I did have to replace the hose once a few years ago.
That sounds about right :) Rainbows last decades and one reason why we rebuilt them. When my wife's Grandpa passed (they lived in the same house in Chicago their who lives and they were amazing people) we were going through their basement and found a 1942 Rainbow. I could not help it I plugged it in and it fired right up. They were just straight suction back then but it still worked great! Compare that to the disposable stuff everyone buys at Walmart you are for sure money ahead to buy a Rainbow. www.greatvacs.com/collections/rainbow-vacuum-cleaners
Do any of you have a st Bernard I have 2 will it last 15 year with them
I have just purchased a used E2 should the lower speed "churn" the water? Because this one is barely sucking in any air at that speed? Sounds like a jet taking off in the other speed.
Where do I find the mini vacuum attachment
I have an older model and the older carpet cleaner which gave out and cannot get parts for. Did he say that the Pro Lux rug cleaner fits even older models or just all the newer models?
I bring my rainbow vacuum to the beach to inflate beach balls. And to vacuum sand off my beach blanket. It’s a miracle.
Roy Mazingo Well, I have a generator that doesn’t run on its own. But I found a way to power it by pulling air through the exhaust with another vacuum. So I hook the rainbow up to the generator and the generator is powered with another vacuum. (Waiting for Rainbow to make a model with a built in generator or nuclear fission device to power it.)
Roy Mazingo haha
Idiots…I bring my solar panel with my rainbow to the beach.
No more deflated beach balls and sandy beach towels for me
Does the exhaust vent cover stay on while using the rainbow?
Do you have a video or link to parts for a rainbow E series, purchased in 2018, to replace the hose end that goes into the machine. One of my side tabs broke off.
Check ebay
Was told that you shouldn't use any vac to pickup say carpet fresh powder type products from your carpet is that true? Was told it messes with the filters and motor and doesn't pick up the fine powder either.
Are rainbow is a bought 20 years old and all I have ever had to do was buy a 10$ belt for the floor head. I don’t regret are purchase

Ok I have a major request... can you do a carpet. Cleaning review on the sirenna vs rainbow. Kind of like a cleaning olympics to show us which is best? There’s videos of people vacuuming with one and the other ride behind but that’s idiotic. Can we get an honest side by side comparison as consumers please lol
Y E S !!!!!!! any type...I had bamboo in Hawaii & it cln'd them well
Just some history on sirenna. They are simply the patents from rainbow 20-30 years ago. Companies can only use patents for so long until they have to release them to the public. So sirenna is just outdated rainbow with some cheaper parts thrown in

We’ve had our rainbow for 8 years now and we love it so much but it needs dome TLC. Where can we get it serviced?
Send us an email at service@greatvacs.com and we'll get you taken care of.
I was thrilled they just opened an office in Janesville Wisconsin
My shampoo is not extracting? Any ideas? every once in a while i will see it pulling water but its definatly glitchy
Can I use the power nozzle onto hardwood floors?
Because the Rainbow uses air flow and not suction, if you must use the power nozzle on the hard floor, simply use the lowest height setting and DO NOT engage the beater bar (take your finger off the button so the power nozzle motor does not come on). This is to preserve the brushes. Also, do not use the power nozzle to clean up wet messes.
YES til mine burnt I did for 15yrs the floors not the "R"
Great video we need more those vacuum cleaners
Does it also do dry cleaner
Hellow can I ask a question?What happen to my rainbow vaccum if I put into higher speed it turns off the power and doesn’t work but if put it in lower speed its working.What happen and what should I do?..
How do I remove the separator and flange to clean them?
Oh man I love love the rainbow
how can I sell my old rainbow vacuum . I seldom used it
Can this work as a steamer?
Why would the Rainbow se does not seal correctly? It is properly filled with water but it spits the water from the pan. Almost like it does not seal correctly. What can I do?
Thanks for the comment. Sounds like your water bowl is the main issue and the glue that seals the top pan to the actual plastic bowl is now bad allowing water to seep or leak through. You can contact us at Service@greatvacs.com and we can get you a new bowl.
Can the old SE be used as air purifier?
most all of their units are a purify while your cleaning floors...I drop a 'bit' of RealLem (the yellow store btl ) in mine's H20 makes all smell so good !!!
My vacuum hose is starting to have a smell. Can I wash out my hose with dawn dish soap? And let it air dry?
I just seen a vacuum that will dry your hair (Revair). Will rainbow do that? If it does I rather pay more money and get the extra feature.
Rainbow vacuums have an exhaust port which blows out warm/hot air, so yes you could use a Rainbow vacuum cleaner to dry your hair. However, a normal hair dryer would be more much more convenient/lightweight.
Put the hose on the back in the blowing out tube & dry away !!! great for drying pets!!I know I've done it !!!!
How much is a 2017 rainbow vacuum
I myself am a Rainbow dealer that is what I do for a living I sell them we highly recommend people do not buy rainbow vacuums from anybody but the Rainbow industry themselves as we provide a ten year warranty. Also the Rainbow system will not work affectively if you do not have the rainbow attachments that shampooer is not meant for the rainbow that piece that you used on the couch also it’s not meant for the rainbow all of the dry attachments are complete free with your purchase you could also get all the wet attachments completely for free very easily. Also you take all those things that you had listed if someone didn’t know about them they did not buy them from Rainbow dealer that is what makes the rainbow not just good but amazing
Please learn grammar.
How do i get a demo?
Then the prices of the product needs to come waaayyy down. I’d go used market all day long for them. I can get parts for them online and do the work myself if needed and still spend less. 10 year warranty is not worth it. Should be a lifetime given how much they cost.
I have my old rainbow I would like to sell. are you interested?
i just got an srx model, but seeing the "E" model demonstrated to have the updated/latest one? mine has 3 speeds, and also i got mine after being contacted from rainbow demo request so im hoping the lady i met was legit. i have documents etc, is there a way to confirm her status myself?
Do you sell used aquamate attachment? I have the E2 model It is the first 2 speed model.

Anyone know what is the problem why our vacuum can't close the lid?
I have a 3 year old rainbow and love it. I was given a rainmate when I bought the rainbow. My rainmate has been sitting for a year and now its totally dead. I cleaned the fan following a TH-cam video but still nothing. The led lights come on but thats all. Think this is fixable or will I just need to purchase another one if I want a working one??
yes I just had my first demo. So so so impressed. Got the free rainmate, and figured that no other company gives something just for watching. Smells great and even if it doesn't last much over a year. It's sure fun for while it lasts. I just loved the rainbow. Carpet feels NEW and fluffy and oooo how nice my air smells. Seeing the basic dust floating in the air under their light is when I got sold. Believing for less sinus infections, and any allergies I have. :)
I have one and it is a great machine
where and what do you call on the device u attached to shampoing carpet?
Aquamate
can i detailing a car seats?
i was so happy to find another vacuum on sale today. I feel like the rainbow really made cleaning a chore. It seems like a high quality unit with lots of useful features, I'll still use it as a blower and wet-vac, but these videos never tell you what you're supposed to do with the dirty, wet cat-hairball you're left with after the fact. really looking forward to dumping the collections from my new vacuum in the trash and moving on
I usually dump the water down the toilet, straining it so that I can grab all of the "wet cat-hairball" with a grocery bag or a glove and throw it in the garbage. Rainbow's don't have a filter that eventually gets clogged and needs replacing. Don't let your rAINBOW GO TO WASTE 🥲 these things are too dang expensive lol
All these comments are the company, scam, if you want a vacuum cleaner loke this for half the price go too walmart, around here we call it the Tupperware scam
Lol how is this a scam? We buy used Rainbows and refurbish them and sell them cheaper compared to Rainbow door to door salesman. We've been in this business for 22 years. Also, do you realize how much of a waste of time it would be to have all these comments be from us? Seems as if you were scammed by someone for a Rainbow and you're taking it out on us. Thanks for the comment tho.
Very nice 😍
Are you located in California
We tend to fill our basin of water over the suggested amount. When only filling it to the top of the dome, we were refilling it every day. Filling it more gets a few days at least. No messes or spills. Is this a bad idea? Will it hurt our machine?
Don't let water sit in the tub after you are finished with it. I think your machine needs to not grow mold.
Y E S !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the seprt' IS NOT to be in H20 !!!!!!!!!! & the H20 can be drawn up into the motor !!!
What is the attachment for shag rugs? Vacuuming??
After you clean with the rainbow, what do you do with the dirty water?
Dump it in your toilet or outside.
I ALWAYS dump mine in the SAME SPOT so if I've lost an item in the hs I know where to look for it !!! Plus it helps to "fill in" that spot...
I dump mine into a colander in the back yard. The dirty water goes through and I dump the giant hair all in the garbage. This works well for me.

Hi Great Vacs. Kindly show us how to change or clean the hepa filter. I just bought the Rainbow SRX and I am checking all the parts of the machine for my own peace of mind and to know that everything is intact. I am hoping for your quick response.
Renz Bayani I watched a u tube to see how to change mine. Hope that helps
Omg I never knew I could use it to dust
Would the air purifier eliminate the smoke smell from a used RV??
Thanks for the question Andy. It would be better to use an ozone generator to help remove the smoke smell from the RV. If you need any extra assistance please reach out to us at service@greatvacs.com
YES....add a few drops of van (extrct) or reallemon ( store btl stuff) to the H20 & zap !!!
They do work good but it is like hauling around a shop vac through your house. And you have to take it apart, fill the tub with water, put it back together then pull it around the house. We like ours but pretty much never use it. We bought a Ryobi cordless stick vacuum and love it. You just grab it and walk around the house cleaning. Not cords or huge vacuum to pull around. When we finish vacuuming with the Ryobi, I charge the battery (which takes about 2 hours) and put it back on the vacuum and it is ready to go for the next time I want to use it. And I can clean the entire 2,400 sf house on just 1 charge.
1:30 woah how amazing, like every other vaacum ...
What purpose does the water in the tank do?

That's why you ask your distributor how to get it free like I did
@@Smooththatsme In standard tests conducted by Consumer Reports and the Carpet and Rug Institute, the Rainbow has proven to be somewhat mediocre. In CRI tests, the Rainbow removed less than 55% of soil earning it the Silver certification.

when the low speed it turns on and off every 1-2 minutes. what could be causing that? Full speed works fine.
Did anyone ever use a Ocean Blue? This was made after Rainbow. It works just like this but came with extra stuff. It was 2k so, I couldn't afford one but it took sand out of carpet that was cleaned. The sand would be per sand. Just put a panty hose in-between your vac parts u'll see what your picking up that your vacuums leave behind..yes even shark and Dyson...
We have experience with Ocean Blue Vacuums and they're very similar when it comes to performance. Both use water filtration but the E series models will have HEPA filtration along with water filtration where as Ocean Blue don't.
If you didn't know this, the person who gave you the demo did not know the Rainbow to start with. All who give a demo in your house should know how the cleaning system works and what else it can do.
#2 - Is that bodily fluid?
I can't get my vacuum to adjust floor levels
Why do the hose goes out?
#3 air purifying mode, you didn't mention how to use it
Detached the vacuum hose. Fill up the water as usual. Drop two squints of anti viral liquid(Believe rainbow sends u a bottle with any vacuum purchase). Turn it on on high rpm for 30minutes then let it run on low rpm for few hours. Another during the low rpm u can drop a few fragrance of any kind to get rid of that anti viral smell Finally it is recommended to run some air like fans or air conditioning in the room when doing it as it aids in air circulation.
@@jahurz93 I didnt get any liquid with the purchase of ours :(
It does not come with sanitizer unless your distributor offers that. And that is on their dollar
@@jahurz93 my gal today during demo said it can be left on permanently as an air purifier and for the aroma. motor guaranteed 10 years, she did a great demo (her third one)

No because you could suck up a key. Haven't you used a can of compressed air to clean the vents and crevices of electronics?
@@drivethrupoet
Wrong brother, you're wrong! Haven't you heard that there are vacuum kits from some stores and even in electronic outlets, that attaches to a vacuum cleaner ventury (the part that you attach a brush, motorized brush head,etc.)
This kit is so handy that it has enough suction to remove dust and biscuit crumbs lodged under the keys. And this kit has a suction controller at the connection point to allow air to be sucked in as part of how much suction do you need and also to avoid overheating the vacuum motor. It cost $15 (last I looked) and it is feasible, especially designed to vacuum keyboards, mother boards and other electronics. Here is a link...

your wallet and car keys, go to the store and buy more.
Yes a Rainbow cleans pet hair rather well... but pet hair clogs drains, even toilet drains. I found out the hard way. It takes a while but per hair builds up in the toilet drain traps over time until one day you have an emergency clog that requires a professional. Warning if you buy a rainbow and own a pet that sheds... you better find a way of disposing of the filthy water. Dump it outside? Fine if you live in a house with a yard but not practical if you live in a hi rise.
I personally dump it behind my shed... the quantity of dirt and hair would definitely cause trouble in the pipe..
I have a dog that sheds a lot! I dump my water into a colander and let it drain into the ground, then I throw the gobs of hair in the garbage. Yes this won’t work if you live in a high rise with no yard, but all you need is 12” in a corner of the yard to do this.
It may be too late for this, but... I purchased a cheap, large colander. I sit it in the toilet seat and then pour the dirty water from the basin into the toilet. Then I just dump the contents of the colander into a plastic bag and throw it away. :)
We have lived in this hs since 81 I have a "SPOT" in the yard where m y "tub' is empty EVERY TIME for 2 reasons...! safe 2 IF something is lost in the hs....we KNOW where to look for it !!! oh 3 the dirt help fill in that spot...plussss all arnd. !!!
Rainbow vacuum worth the $$! You will never buy another vacuum cleaner once you try it. They are Michigan made (I’m from MI). I rent space in a rainbow distributors building and people have same unit 30-49 years+! The people that own rainbows wouldn’t have any other vacuum cleaner. You must maintain them every couple years like a tuneup. My boss bought me a refurbished one I am sold on them!👍👍👍☮️
You won't buy another one because you can't afford anything else.
True, I've owned a Rainbow for 22 years. I will never buy anything else.
