Actually at $2900 the Rainbow is grossly overpriced but that does not make it a bad machine. Rainbow vacuums tend to last for a long time. While other vacuums may boast water lift of well over 88 inch. Those rating are meaningless if you to not take into consideration the CFM, the velocity, how many cubic feet of air the machine move at the nozzel per minute. The Rainbows water lift may not be the highest in among vacuums but it is good. Because the Rainbow traps dust in water and uses no bags it maintains a higher air flow, CFM than most other canister vaccums. I am not sure that the air from the Rainbow's exhaust is as clean as Rainbow sales people claim it is but do we really actually know how much cleaner the air of it's contenders are? One thing you can be sure of with a Rainbow is that you will never have to worry about where you are going to get vacuum cleaner bags from. Although some will say that emptying the water container on the Rainbow is "messy". It is probably not anymore messy than changing a vacuum cleaner bag in most canister and upright vacuums. You can simply dump the dirty water down your toilet and rinse the container. That's far more cleaner than handling a loaded dust laden vacuum bag. If you are a vacuum savvy person and take care of the Rainbow you will probably get many years of use out of it.

I believe it is a good machine that will last a long time if properly cared for but at $2900 it is grossly overpriced. I rate it as good but not great.

Hey, if you got $2000- 2900 to spend on a vacuum and you believe all that bull crap the sellers are telling you, I have a bridge in San Francisco you might want to own. I'll sell you the Golden Gate bridge for $2900. Just think, Your own bridge!

Want to know the truth about Rainbow? Here it is! My mother bought a Rainbow model D two weeks before I was born, in 1962. She used it 30 years before her advancing age made it undesireable to use all the time. I bought a Rainbow E2 in 2005. It is NOT my only vacuum as it's too inconvenient to use for just tidying up the room. I use it for those times when I want to move all the furniture. The wholesale cost of a Rainbow, to the RGD (Rexair's distributor) is $550. The huge markup is due to all the 'hands in the pot'. The training manager makes a cut on every sale, so does the phone girl who sets up the appointment, so does the finance company, so does the salesman who gets his 'friends' to become salesmen (they call that 'recruiting') and so on and so on until the price is $2000 to the customer. Did you know that Rexair (the manufacturer) does NOT warrant the machine to the consumer. It's on the "message from manufacturer' page in your owners manual. Rexair forces the distribtor (RGD) to honor the warranty - but when that person goes out of business, your on your own. As to the air filtration - think about it for a moment. The machine uses a sealed Hepa filter on its exhaust. Dust can't come out. But it won't come out of a Miele either, nor most any vacuum that uses a SEALED hepa filter system. The advantage of being able to put the Rainbow away as clean as your dishes is true - but you MUST clean and dry the machine after EACH use before storing. You can't just walk away from a Rainbow when you are finished, and put it in the closet. It must be stored so that the pan is separate from the cleaner - or rust and mold form. Water is not the best filter in a vacuum. It evaporates as the machine runs. "Forced Evaporation" as dry room air moves through the water also takes the dirt in the water into the suction fans. That's why Rexair was forced to put a Hepa filter on the machine - all previous Rainbows (like my mother's) had so much mud and dirt in the motor. Probably the dirtiest exhaust of any vacuum cleaner in the world was pre E-series Rainbow cleaners. When Rexair started making vacuums in 1936 there was no water in them. They were bagless, like a Dyson. It wasn't until 1937 that the then-President of the company(T. Russ Hill) added water as a 'gimick' to help sales. Rainbow salesmen don't know what to say about the Hepa filter. First they say the Rainbow doesn't lose suction BUT the machine DOES lose suction as the hepa filter fills up with dirt that's evaporated from the water pan. The lie comes in when they tell you it's "non-wettable" dirt in the hepa. If it's 'non-wettable' dirt, why does Rexair tell you to use water to wash the hepa filter every 18 months (see your instruction book)? If it's 'non-wettable' dirt, water couldn't clean the hepa filter. One Rainbow salesman, when asked about the dirt in the hepa filter said "it's clean dirt anyway, it's been through the water". What a moronic answer. Think about what you're buying for $2000. A plastic shell, a motor with two aluminum fans, a plastic water bucket, and a hose and attachments. No automatic cord winder, no swivel on the hose (tangles), no headlight, no on-board storage for the floor tool, 80 inches of water lift (a Dyson DC07 - $399 - has 115 inches of lift) and a LOUD motor. Low speed does virtually nothing except evaporate water. In actual test, the Rainbow evaporates 2 cups of water per hour running at HI speed. The evaporated dirt FIRST builds up in the separator (clean it twice a year or else risk motor damage) - then builds up in the suction fans, and finally clogs the Hepa filter. I got my E2 from a former RGD at his wholesale cost $550, which to me, is about what it's worth at RETAIL. It's a good vacuum, decent enough, but the retail cost is way too high for what you ACTUALLY get. If you want a good read check out "I was a vacuum cleaner salesman" by Shelly Rivoli (amazon has it). She changed the name of the Rainbow to Storm Burst for the book, but it's spot on with regard to the deception used to sell the product.

I worked for Rainbow for a short time. I love the product and know it works. I just don't like the gimmick sales pitches. I don't want to TALK someone into spending money they may not have. If you truly love the product, you will get it eventually. I don't like saying, "if you get it today I will....". You don't have to sell something great...it will sell itself. I will admit, I watched the lady who trained me turn things around and make a sale. I just don't like lying. The deal they give you one day, will be there a month later.

THE PRODUCT WORKS!! Your air is cleaner!! There is a reason why it is the only cleaning system on the market that is a certified air cleaner. It is the only one you can deduct from your taxes with a prescription. HOWEVER... as with anything else...don't get something you can't afford. Don't let someone tell you if you cared about your family you would get one. If someone is trying to spend 30 minutes giving you every sales pitch known to man to change your mind, throw them out.

The older systems are not as good as the newer ones. Yes, if you took what was in your vacuum bag and put it in water it would be dirty too. The difference is what goes in the water does not come back out into the air. People who have Rainbows have had them many years and are very please. I can tell you I have purchased 5 vacuums in the past 10 years....they are junk.

Sometimes those who get on the phone are rude and they don't deserve the time of day. Someone who comes in your home and lies doesn't deserve your business. Look at the product with an open mind. Decide if it is something you want. Then buy it on Ebay. That is what I am going to do.

Never heard of rainbow before but if the girl who sets the appointments is any indicator, customer service may be a problem.

When she asked if we would be around I told her we were waiting for a phone call as my daughter was having a baby and that this was not a good time to talk about it.

Without missing a beat she asked if we could fit in a sales appointment tonight or tomorrow morning.

Somebody's not listening!

p.s. baby ain't here yet! :)

My aunt has it, you can't use frequently, you'll get tired of changing water and even handling that thing every other day... They do use it once in a while, instead they use just regular vacuum that can be used by older kids and them almost daily. It breaks too often too. For that price you can hire people to do same work for you for five years.

My entire family has rainbows ever since I bought my first one and it lasted 17 years before I got my current one which id working on it's 15th! I have 3 brothers and 2 sisters who like me will swear by them. My daughter bought one with the rug scubber attachments and her carpets look like new whenever I go to visit. She has 3 children under 5 amd you know how much stuff gets spilled by them. A good salesman makes a difference, but word of mouth is the best advertisement of all. Ask your friends or someone that has one and ask them to try it out.

I gave it one star because choosing none was not an option.
I did not buy one and here is why:
Every last demonstration the guy tried showing us how our "Can't more" (what he called our kenmore) was a terrible machine. I called him out about it and he had no answer. Such as the hepa filter spits out dust into the room??? How he demonstrated this was he ran our vacuum and held his "high def lamp"(standard incandecent light bulb) three feet away from the exhaust which allowed us to see the occasional piece of dust fly by. I pointed out to him that if he is holding his lamp three feet from our vacuums exhaust it is much more likely that it is clean air blowing dust which is already in the air up past the lamp. I told him to hold the lamp closer to the vacuum but her refused in fear of me proving him wrong.
His whole demonstration about how our vacuum clogs and stops working was utter bull. We have been using that vac for a year and a half, it has a 3/4 full bag and it hasn't lost an ounce of suction.
He kept trying to show us how much dust was in our air with his lamp and we didnt see anything.
He kept touting the better air flow (more than 100MPH!) which makes absolutely no sense from a physics stand point because air flow and air speed are two totally different things. Once this was pointed out he also had no answer.
He attempted to vacuum our 9 month old puppy which made her want to bite him.
After refusing to buy over 5 times he starts attempting to rehash his arguments that didnt work but this time decides to fake cough mid sentance and say "sorry, its the dust" before continueing his spiel.
The thing that really turned us off at first was the price. $2900 for a vacuum with less power than the one we currently have which was $500. But once we established the price is an issue he continued to tell us while he packed up that they make them for $50 but sell them for such a high price to be "competitive with the other high end vacuums" which also makes no sense as it was more expensive than most of those "competitors" that he showed us.
He also made false claims about how we will replace our vacuum every 5 years and spend thousands on bags and parts meanwhile my mother recieved her kenmore vacuum 25 years ago as a wedding present and still uses it today. she has only needed it serviced once and it cost her $50.

I also can't help but notice the majority of the reviews here are from people who sell them.

PS cleaner sterilized air is not better. It weakens your immune system and makes you MORE suseptable to diseases when you leave your home.
just something to htink about.

I own a Rainbow E2 and after 4 1/2 years of selling them I now own the local Distributorship. The Rainbow is the only system out in the market anywhere that actually removes all the dust in my home, as for the cost, it is not expensive it is very inexpensive when you add all the costs I don't have now, like buying a new vaccum cleaner every 2 years, dust clothes, cleaning solution carpet replacement, etc. My husband had a brain tumor removed over 8 years ago, after the surgery he was left paralzed on the left side of his face. His tear duct and blink function where gone, DUST was a problem for him, he had to clean his own eye all the time. With the Rainbow running 24 hrs/ day 7 days a week we have little to no dust in the air in own home, 2600 sq. ft. If you live in the Rochester, NY area and would like to see this great cleaning machine call me at 585 424-3990 and I will be happy to show it to you, you do not need to buy it!!!!

I love the effiency of the machine, how it never loses flow to keep all the debris in the water basin. I also work for Rainbow doing the in home demostraions thats how much I believe in the unit and how well it works. My water is still dirty it works wonders, and the only filter on the machine is clean like it is brand new. I put my word on the machine, it does its job continusly for years and years to come. It is the only cleaning system you will need for the next 20 25 years.

I have had the Rainbow E (2 speed) for three years. For those of you who say that water doesn't filter dirt, the PLEASE DO explain to me why after almost three years of use the HEPA FILTER on my Rainbow is still SNOW WHITE? Seriously! It is! If the dirt is bouncing off the water and going right onto the hepa (as some say) shouldn't my hepa filter be GROSS after three years? One thing I will admit, these machines are overpriced. If I were to buy another one, I would get a refurbished one from a reputable dealer. That being said, these machines are GREAT! They do work as stated.

Before seeing the Rainbow Cleaning System I purchased a variety of vacuums which claimed to reduce allergens and saw little to zero improvement. Many of these systems clogged so quickly that they failed to pick up pet hair and lint that was on the surface of the carpet. Miele and Oreck were the worst. So called bagless vacuums spewed foul smelling dust into the air causing me to be sick. I have now owned a rainbow for six years and I will never use anything else!

The newest Rainbow (E-2) is the easiest to use and best at cleaning of the others I've used. Yes, you still have to empty the water outside (and letting it sit and the consequencial odor is one more reason you want that stuff out of your house), but it is worth the clean you get. The E-2 is designed with a Jacuzzi motor, two speeds: low for air purification 24-7 and a 20,000 RPM motor for vacuuming. Vacuuming is a chore, but I'm glad to know that when I use my Rainbow I'm actually cleaning for the effort expended.

I've had a Rainbow since 1992. It's ok. It's true what they say about the air staying cleaner and no dust particles. But after 16 years, I'm really sick of emptying the gross water. I have to do it outside somewhere because you don't want all the dirt, debris, and hair going down your drains! Plus if you forget to empty it, even for a day, boy does it stink! Another problem is that it is the most clumsy appliance I've ever used. It gets caught on every corner, rug edge, table leg, etc. And, the hose is too short for trying to clean up to the high corners. (We have 7 1/2 foot ceilings.)On a positive note, I do have to give credit where credit is due. During water events, i.e. flooded basement, it was great to be able to just suck the water into the basin and clean the rug. But I suppose you could do this with a wet/dry vac as well. The other good result was when my daughter vomited on the couch. All I had to do was completely soak/wash the cushion until it was saturated. Then I put the cushion into a large plastic bag and the Rainbow sucked all the moisture out of the cushion and it was as good as new. So it does a good job with overall cleaning, but there is a trade-off with some things that are inconvenient.

I've had asthma since I was born (1947). Dust is one of my worst triggers. My husband has been vacuuming the house for the past 10 years....before that, I would get sick almost every time I vacuumed. We brought our new Rainbow into the house this week. I vacuumed for the first time in 10 years and not only did I not sneeze....my asthma stayed in check. I cannot believe the difference in the CLEAN. Even if you don't buy one, have a reputable Rainbow distributor come to your home for a demonstration. Remember, if you buy from a vacuum sales shop or ebay or 2nd hand, you do not have the guarantee from Rexair. Service will not be authorized. You will not be able to trade your Rainbow in for a new model with an $800 credit in 20 years unless you buy from a Rainbow distributor. You won't be disappointed and if you are....then go buy the other brands. I know for me, I'll never own another machine.

For 5 years I owned a Rainbow vacuum, and one day my sister-in-law asked me to fo her a favor. She wanted to come over and show me the Ocean Blue, and now I am an very proud Ocean Blue owner. My rainbow dealer never once told me to clean the filthy hepa filter that is on very model since 1996. I have bad asthma and allergies and although the rainbow helped the bacteria that grew in it made me sick. The Ocean Blue has NO filters other than the water. Compared to the rainbow the Ocean BLue actually purifies the air you can acutally feel the power of the machine where as the Rainbow's "sir purifier" is very weak and meaningless. The power nozzle on the Ocean Blue beats rainbow hands down and there are several more attchements. Switch to an Ocean Blue for you health.

Who use the patient for the rainbow version of 1980 and can't offer a 15 years no question asked warranty like the rainbow dose. be smart buy a rainbow.

The rainbow cleaning system is the best out there. It is not a vacuum cleaner. If you want a vacuum cleaner you might as well go to the local discount store and buy a $14 stick vac because that is all the better you are going to get. The muddy water in the basin is proof of the rainbow's power. There is no question that you are getting rid of the dirt. Gone is the poof of dust that you get every time you turn on your regular vacuum cleaner. Those people giving this machine 1 star are most definitely sellers of more inferior products. They are trying to mislead you. My mother has owned a rainbow since 1984 (a tornado hit our house and we had much cleaning to do). I bought my first at an auction for $50 (bargain). If the price scares you check an online auction. Those people are selling to buy updated versions.

I bought my Rainbow cleaning system, on the advice of a friend and just after using the vaccum cleaner twice I am more than happy with the results. It uses a reservoir of water instead of a bag to trap all the dust particles, and it just blows out clean 'water washed' air. Even the Rainbow is quite nice to look at, for a vacuum cleaner.

I first saw this Vacuum when my sister in law purchased it years ago. My husband works for a commercial cleaning company which allows me access to the best vacuums and supplies out there. I LOVE THIS VAC!!!!!. With the water filtration I know my air and rug are both clean. I've had it for 5 years now, and in that same amount of time went through 3 other Vacs that died Including a Koblenz commercial Vac which is supposedly one of the better vacs, I'd rather pay good money for something that lasts. Then pay 1/3 the money for something that constantly needs repairs and doesnt last. I'd also rather watch the dirt go down the drain then constantly be buying filters and vac bags. I strongly recommend this Vac to anyone especially allergy sufferers. I havent had to have it repaired even once and its so easy to use. I got so tired of buying new Vacs every few years. If you are to, get the Rainbow.

I purchased this machine. After 6 months, my carpets do not seem any cleaner and it is a little more difficult to use than regular vaccum cleaners. I am happy with the air filtering system. The customer service is horrible. Was difficult getting the promises that were made to me in the beginning. It costs way too much for the little better that it does. I would not recommend it to any of my friends.

I see many of you are going by "the consumer report" and others who rate certain products but those sorces do not get money from rainbow to make them sound good. Rainbow does not need to pay for good comments, their demo shows what they do. Plus they last for decades! so try to figure how much you save on vacume bags alone! $1500 for something that lasts for 20-40 years is better than $100-$200 every couple of years! Not to mention if your are buying something else, it doesnt get up all it should so how can you give it any worth? rainbow works!

These things stink!! They are overpriced & do not do any better than other units I have tried. They do well, but nothing spectacular. (The government should put price controls on these things to keep Rainbow from ripping off the public.) These idiots (Rainbow)won't even sell you any parts! They want the dealers to install them for you & claim that the price includes installation. Bullshit!! The labor is built into the price! They claim that they don't sell parts because if someone screws it up then they are liable!! More bullshit!! Why don't they just sell the parts with no replacement warranty if it is customer installed? More of Rainbow ripping off the public. I bought mine used & the motor went out after a few years. It will be the last one that I buy!

I WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER..as long as I can afford it. I LOVE the Rainbow. It is truly an awesome machine. I have cats and dogs and it picks up cat hair and dog hair effectively. My parents have a Kirby and hate it....so do I. The power of water and the clean smell make this machine unique. IT IS A MUST if you can afford one....they are kind of expensive but well worth it. I have had mine for about eight or nine years and no problems. All who have Rainbows truly know how they are the BEST. I don't mind dumping the water, especially when you see what you would keep in the bag and put back in the closet!

Rainbow Cleaning Systems 5

The Rainbow is an overall cleaning system. Cleans the air in your home which eliminates pollen, dust, particles too small to see and clean up with a simple duster or electrical or filtered air filters. The rainbow also works as an aromatizer in which you can clean your home and aromatize it at the same time.
The price for the Rainbow is great but how much are you going to spend on a vacuum that only last two years and needs filters, bags, cannister clean up with filter clean up. How much are you going to spend on aromatizers, dusters, brooms and air purifiers. I think too much money... and how much is your time worth.. Cut your cleaning time in half with the Rainbow. Why purchase candles, aromatizers, vacuums and air purfiers...and even a vaporizer. You can even do stairs, corners, baseboards and under kitchen appliances that saves your back every time you have to move them to clean behind them. You can even use the Rainbow as a blower to clean your decks, garage, storage areas.

I used to own Dyson in my home until I saw a Rainbow demo.  The system works amazing.  This is one of the best thing I bought in my life that will actually help me keeping all the dust out of my house and having a clean environment for my family.  Rainbow is the only system that works well.  Using water as a filter is the smartest idea. I'm glad that I'm one of the Rainbow owner.  Dyson and Kirby are nothing compare to this product.

I used to sell Kirby. Then I was invited to a Rainbow demonstration and started selling Rainbow. I now own two and everyone that has one tells me how great it is. I love my Rainbow and tell everyone I know about it if you think about it what is 1800 dollars for your health. I would say that if you don't own one get one it is the best investment you will ever make.

We purchased our Rainbow in 1983 for around $800 with all the gadgets and gizzmos it came with at the time. Since then we replaced the motor once ($250), the basin twice ($45), the separater once ($15) and bought a new beater-bar for $95 (Central Vac brand modified to fit - 12 years ago) for a total investment over 24 years of $1,205. Everytime I visit our Olathe, Kansas vacuum cleaner store and dealer, they try to talk me into a Miele and tell me how horrible my Rainbow is for the air. None of us seemed to have suffered from poor air quality. My beater-bar is tired again and I actually considered buying a Dyson or that Miele, but after reading all the reviews, I think I'll just buy a new beater bar and keep my Rainbow. We have a cat and dog and raised three kids (all in college now) and every year when I had my carpets professional cleaned, I was always told I had the cleanest carpets and didn't really need them cleaned. Dumping that water (I only vacuum once a week) is a pain and you have to clean that separater, but to have clean carpets, floors and upholstery and a total investment of $1200 for 24 years - I don't think you will get that with a Miele or a Dyson.

I have owned my rainbow for over 8 years now and I can't believe I ever used anything else. I have friends who ask to borrow it when they are going to have people over their house. My stepson's allergies all, but disappeared after I started using the Rainbow on regular basis. If you truly want a clean home, this will do the job everytime without fail.

I just had a sales rep at my house to do a demo. and in all honesty I would have never thought that my carpets were so dirty. He was picking up things that were in the carpet that my other vacuum should have been picking up but failed to do. I have a small child and after the demo, I felt so guilty. I never realized that my child was crawling on such a dirty carpet. I had invested in a dyson animal prior, which everyone knows how expensive a dyson is, because I also have a large dog, thinking that the animal from dyson was the best in picking up animal hair, but boy was I mistaken. Yes the rainbow is pricey but I will never buy another vacuum. No matter the price the rainbow company will work with you so you can afford one!!

I just had a demo and the salesman drew water from the rainbow into a 2 month old Hoover ruining the HEPA filter. The demo he did could also be done with most any vaccum. Consumer's report rates the machine the worst of the canisters. I got prices off this site, Consumer's Report, and a local vacuum sales office and it was $500 less than what they wanted to sell it for. They don't sell the carpet wand with the machine, but you get it free for trading in your old machine. Like buying a car without tires. The carpet cleaner is primitive and they want $500 for it, or four referrals. Too many gimicks to buy the machine although it is impressive. Would not use some of the features so did not buy, as did not think the price was worth it. The salesman first said the warranty was 20 years, then corrected himself by saying 4 years "bumper to bumper," eight years on the motor with another eight years if replaced, and 20 years free labor. Compare to a Kirby for a simlar price and they have a lifetime warranty. The machine also has two filters, not just the water filter. They talk about bacteria in a regular vacuum, but be careful as water will breed bacteria fast, so make sure you always empty the water and not leave in the machine. Check things out before you buy. For the right price and if you use most of the features it is probably a good product.

We thought we had to replace our carpet but once we started cleaning with the Rainbow E2, the carpet started looking better each time. Plus I don't have to dust as often! Well worth the money

I recently bought my Rainbow and I absolutely love it. I can now vacuum after dusting and not have dust all over the place again! My house feels so much cleaner too.

I have had my rainbow for a little over a week and my husband and I both love it! We have 5 dogs that all live in the house, 3 big ones and 2 little ones. The first day that I vacuumed I couldn't believe how much hair and dirt that it picked up. My husband had used our $65 hoover the day before and the rooms looked really clean so I did not expect that much of a difference. This vacuum was very expensive but I was given it as a birthday present from my parents or else we would have cont. to use the hoover. As far as the air quality in our home, it is amazing. With 5 dogs our house has been known to be a bit smelly, however I have been putting the deodorizer drops in the bowl and setting the system up in the dog area and I can honestly say that the house doesn't smell like dogs AT ALL!. We also bought one of the "rainmates" and set it up in our room. I love it! The gentle swishing helps us sleep, I have added some jasmine oil to the bowl which really makes the room smell lovely and the room air actually feels cleaner. I hope that you will consider purchasing this wonderful system.
