Review of Rainbow Canister Vacuum
Rainbow vacuum cleaners are manufactured by a company called Rexair, which has been around for about 70 years.
If you have never heard of Rainbow vacuums before, it's probably because they are not sold in retail stores.
You can only buy one from an authorized Rainbow distributor. These vacuum cleaners are sold in the old fashioned way - through home demonstrations.
The latest model is the Rainbow E2 water and dust vacuum cleaner. The company actually calls it the Rainbow E2 cleaning system, but the name is more descriptive for the purposes of this review.
E2 sells for between $ 1,500 and $ 2,000. No, it's not a typo. They really cost so much! As you will see, however, sometimes the old saying "you get what you pay for" is not accurate.
Characteristics of the rainbow vacuum cleaner
First, here is a breakdown of the features of the E2:
Computer controlled "Hurricane" engine (rated at over 12 amperes)
2-speed power control
Adjustable nozzle height
Trigger On / Off
Air / water filtration + HEPA filtration
Complete set of tools: crevice tool, floor and wall brush, upholstery tool, dusting brush
Inflation tool
Fixing trolley
Without bag
Brush power switch
Multipurpose cleaner
32 pounds
Price: $ 1500 - $ 2000
Air / water HEPA filtering
Rainbow E2's great claim to fame is the combined air / water filtration system. It works by first passing air and debris sucked into the vacuum through a separator that filters the particles and deposits them in the churning water in the tank. The company claims that this single step removes 99.7% of dirt, dust and other debris sucked from the ground or air. After passing through the water filter, the air exits the cartridge and exits into the room through the HEPA filter. This eliminates parasitic particles that have escaped the first filter. This produces an exhaust as close to 100% as possible.
Engine
Another interesting feature of the E2 is the powerful engine. Called the "Hurricane", this engine rates 12+ amps, making it among the strongest on the market. Rainbow has added two speed settings (low and high) to allow users to determine the level of suction power they prefer at any time. The company recommends the low setting for ambient air filtration and bare floors, while suggesting the high setting for deep, heavily soiled carpets.
Height and controls
The height of the nozzle can also be adjusted (manually) to fit different types of carpets and bare floors.
There is an on / off trigger control on the handle of this Rainbow vacuum cleaner, which is a thoughtful design feature. The engine can be killed simply by clicking the trigger by hand, allowing users to answer phone calls or take care of children without delay.
The E2 comes with a full set of convenient cleaning tools and an inflator to inflate air mattresses, inflatable toys or pool flotation devices. A tool caddy is also provided.
The Rainbow E2 is really a versatile vacuum cleaner. In addition to floor cleaning, you can face stairs, upholstered furniture, curtains, skirting boards, hard-to-reach places under furniture and even narrow spaces like refrigerator coils. Use the E2 on the low power setting and this makes an excellent air purifier. You can even use an optional bag to remove dust and dirt from the pillows.
Is the wet / dry Rainbow E2 vacuum cleaner worth the price?
In a word, no. Not even close. For starters, the world's leading independent consumer product testing organization tested E2 and rated it "good" in ratings. There are two higher ratings - "very good" and "excellent", and two lower ratings - "fair" and "poor". So a "good" rating is just another way to call the average of a product. Controlled price sled cleaners have achieved significantly higher results.
Three main problems were discovered during the exams. First, he was among the worst they tested to clean the bare floors. This is surprising considering the adjustable height of the nozzle and the high claims of the company to be an excellent bare floor cleaner.
Secondly, this Rainbow vacuum cleaner has been ranked among the loudest vacuum cleaners tested. This may be due to the unique water filtration system and the extraordinarily powerful engine.
Third, it's a big void! At 32 l
