At The End of A Rainbow

A Clean House!

Recently, my Dirt Devil vacuum broke down, so I borrowed my mother's RAINBOW vacuum. Knowing the 'Rainbow Vac' reputation, I was curious to use it.

For those who are not familiar with it, in a Rainbow, there is no bag, or filter.

The Rainbow uses water to trap dirt particles. The idea behind the system is that wet dirt and dust particles cannot fly. Therefore, dirt and dust are not redeposited into the air, as is the case with most bag filter systems. One of the things I like is that you can look into the water reservoir and see how much dirt your collecting as you vacuum.

My mother suggested that I clean one room at a time, emptying the water reservoir after each room. She said, "You will see what rooms are your dirtiest." Well I thought I would start with the bedroom, where I assume the cat spends most of its time.

So after vacuming the room, I empty the reservoir, OMG, I thought I was emptying out a dead rodent, there was so much hair and dirt. I couldn't believe my eyes . . . truly! So I thought hhmm . . . I 'm just tempted to do the same room again . . . so I did and let me tell you the water wasn't any prettier.

Wow, I thought, I just had to have one of these vacuums, it truly makes a difference. So now as I'm waiting on the arrival of my new Rainbow E Series Vacuum, I'm certain this will be one of the best investments I've ever made, next to my King Size, foam top Serta mattress.

I strongly recommend a Rainbow Vac especially to anyone who owns a pet or pets or has allergen problems!

As a 'cleaning lady' and an owner of two very large and hairy pooches, I feel that there are many good vacuums out there both bagless and non. But, what I've found is that people don't take the time to clean the darn things out. If you properly maintain them by cleaning filters and changing the bags you will ad a few years to your investment. Most people think that winding up the cord at the end of a vacuuming is all that needs to be done. Wrong! If you have a vacuum with a paper filter, take it out every so often, throw it in an old plastic bag and shake it out. I clean mine with my shop vac and it really picks up alot better. If your vacuum feels ten pounds heavier than when you bought it, probably time for a new bag.

My sister used to work for the company when they were located in the National building in downtown Detroit, years ago (I think their headquarters in now in Troy). These Rainbow vac's are soooo good, I found a couple of them used (would you believe I bought a couple of them for $80 each!! at the same vac store?! - don't expect to find many deals like that, though), and got them in the hands of those with allergies. These things filter the air, as you use them. (Now, if I could just find more time to use it! ;P )
Agree? or Disagree?
