Rainbow E2 - Best Vacuum!

by Doug Helms
(Trinity, NC)

I have had my Rainbow E2 vacuum cleaner for over 5 years. It is the best vacuum system in the world.

It is the only vacuum that is a certified air purifier and is designed to run 24/7 on a lower speed to purify the air in the home.

The unique difference is the water. All dirt and dust is trapped in a basin of water so that no debris can re-enter the home atmosphere.

The machine is expensive but well worth it. I figured I will save about $4,000 over a period of 15 year by using the Rainbow over the Electrolux I was using. Buy it you will like it.

Doug, you're the second happy user of the Rainbow E2 vacuum that has shared a review on this site.

Interesting observation about how much money it can save you...

By the way, I've seen quite a few similar vacuums in Slovenia (and Europe) that try to emulate the water filtration system of cleaning which Rainbow invented.

But they don't seem to be that successful...

As a cleaning unit, the Rainbow really shines
by: Dale Beshears

I purchased a Rainbow E2 mainly because of its air-purification abilities. I have just recently been developing allergic reactions to various types of dust in my home and was introduced to the Rainbow E2. I now use mine 24/7. The unit has a 20 year warranty, but the motor is rated for 50 years continuous use.

My allergic reactions seem to be curtailing quite nicely since I began using the unit. The only time I have a "reaction" is when I disturb something in my home which I haven't cleaned yet with the Rainbow. The noise this unit makes is actually minimal in "whisper" mode. Older units didn't have "whisper" capability which would account for the complaints from some about it being noisy.

I only use "Hurricane" (or "Turbo") mode when cleaning or when I leave the house... The extra noise it makes in "Turbo" mode is really no worse than a regular vacuum cleaner, and I don't notice it at all when I'm gone from home. Why leave it in Turbo mode when I leave? Well, it picks up even greater amounts of air-bourne contaminants that way, and I come home to an even fresher/cleaner environment. Brain surgeons use these units in the operating rooms during surgery to reduce contaminants to as near ZERO as possible. That should say something as to their effectiveness.

As a cleaning unit, the Rainbow really shines. It picks up dust & dirt that conventional vacuums CAN'T. The exhaust from the unit always smells "rain-washed" clean, and it's always cold. You can even add ice cubes to the water reservoir to provide a fresh, cooling breeze on a hot summer day. It's true that some Rainbow sales reps can be "pushy", but this is true of many other company reps as well. The fellow that sold me the Rainbow was firm, but not pushy or obnoxious. I even had him do a demo for my own mother... She really liked it, although she couldn't buy a Rainbow at this time. The rep didn't try to force a sale. The Rainbow sales itself.

If you can afford to buy it outright, do so. If you have to make managable payments, do so. You won't be disappointed. If you're really interested in a Rainbow, have a rep come to your home for a demo. You WILL be SHOCKED to see how much he/she can pull out of your carpet with one of these beauties. Even if you get out your OWN machine and vacuum a section of your carpet 50 times in a row, the Rainbow will pull out dirt from down below the foam padding... I kid you not! You WILL want to own one once you see the value in it. Your rep will bend over backwards to make it possible for you to have one if you can swing it.

As far as the weight of the unit, it really isn't bad. The functionality of the Rainbow far "outweighs" any minor disadvantages you may encounter (it must be carried upstairs, etc.). I hope this review helps the reader to choose whether or not to get a Rainbow E2.

Rainbow E2 is amazing
by: Lee

The Rainbow E2 is absolutely amazing! I don't know what I would do without it. I read on this website that it's hard to find them online... Rexair the manufacturer prohibits unauthorized sales of new machines.

See their website I found them at rainbowsystem. -they directed me to an authorized distributor. I love to empty the polluted water after I have cleaned. That shows all of the pollution that my family isn't living with. It's really a no brainer... keep the filth or get a Rainbow. Waste time and keep the odors? Doesn't make much sense to me.

While I'm cleaning the floors, furniture, my bed, my appliances, there is no recycling the filth back into my home... I'm cleaning my air! It's a certified air purifier, not to mention a GREEN MACHINE! Seeing is FOR SURE believing! The couple that showed me were just excited to show it, they were working on getting there's for free! Great people!

As far as the cost...my old methods of cleaning cost me more, and I got to keep the filth. Like I said it is a no brainer. My kids are even using the Rainbow! I will never use a vaccuum again! Smell yours... you won't either!

E2
by: Anonymous

When we originally set up the demonstration for this vacuum it was only to get the free rainmate air purifier. Well my husband has to have every toy out here so we actually bought this.

All I can say is WOW! I have suffered from allergies and severe asthma for years, to the point I could not even be in a room that was being vacuumed-even with a Miele (which we replaced with the Rainbow).

With the rainbow not only do I not have to leave the room but I can vacuum. After 2 days of using the Rainbow our grey carpet in our spare room actually looks like it has been professionally cleaned!

Our Miele was great and may be the best choice for some, but for us it is now the Rainbow!

The Best
by: Derek Wehrman

I actually work for a Rainbow Distributor around here and must say I am thoroughly impressed. I am not into this type of stuff and when my wife wanted me to watch I was angry but after 40 minutes, I would have bought. I did buy one to keep me and my family healthy. I can honestly say working for the company that there are no tricks. We do a very serious demo to show you the truth about our system. Some people may not like the price but we show you the breakdown of how much you will spend on cleaning supplies over 15 years compared to the investment of a Rainbow. And as far as the comparison to a Kirby or Dyson? I owned a Kirby. It was 10 times heavier and bulkier than the Rainbow. The rainbow is actually fairly light when you don't have water in it, which is what I suggest when you are moving upstairs or however. Also, the Rainbow is a little noisy on high, but comparing it to my Kirby, there was no difference in noise. It also sucks in air at 130 mph to bring in the dust, which does cause some noise. Comparing to a Dyson, which I have never owned, I can say that from what I have heard Dyson picks up more than most vacuums, but what you may not know is that Dyson eats your carpet. We use Dyson's for training and it has literally ripped part of the carpet out. While researching it, we found that Dyson actually voids all warranties on your carpets as well. Simply put, the Rainbow is the best system out there and is a worthy investment.

Proud Rainbow Owner!
by: Anonymous

I recently purchased my Rainbow and have nothing but praise for it! My family and I don't sneeze or have asthma attacks when it is used in our home unlike with all other "vacuums" we have tired including Dyson and Kirby.

The only people that are negative about it must be salespeople for "vacuums". There is no way they are being truthful about the Rainbow. They probably never even tried one much less ever owning one.

As for the price, if the health of you and your family isn't worth a small investment, then buy a $40 "vacuum" as they will do exactly the same as the $3,0000 ones: NOTHING!

dammit
by: zee

I had no idea about the 3 DAY RETURN POLICY. No one told me about that. This sucks and Im very upset.I called the Rainbow company and they said they would call me back, its been 4 days and i havent heard from them. Again its an okay product but not worth it.

The WORST vacuum by far
by: Anonymous

Not only does it not clean the floor well, it makes you DEAF in the process! It is so loud you even miss the dog bark. Turn it on and all your conversation stops. It is so cumbersome and HEAVY, I developed muscles I didn't know I had. And finally for its price, I can get two Dysons and still have spare change. Don't touch it with a 10 foot pole. Anyone wants a used E2?

we have had a rainbow for 15 years, and wouldn't own anything else. We have many others that don't compare . The money you save on filters will pay for itself, over and over.

Got to Love it!
by: Susanne D.

I have the Rainbow E2 system and just love it! It really does a GREAT job cleaning my 20 year old home. It has brought the life right back into my carpeting. It is a great system and I would highly recommend it to people who want their homes CLEAN!! When you clean with a Rainbow it gets the job done to 100% satisfaction.

Buyers Beware of bad distribution companies
by: Anonymous

Buyers Beware - the Rainbow is fabulous but be cautious when purchasing. Rainbow has a 3 day only return policy - regardless of reasons for return. They get their money and don't care about customers.

READ the fine print BEFORE purchasing. Beware of this company as they will sell an old model and claim it is the newest model - BUYER BEWARE!

I Love It!
by: Anonymous

I love it!!! The only thing better would be a Rainbow unit that stays in the basement and has hook-ups (wall vaccum-hose sockets) in every room.

That would be the ultimate best. But what I have is great too!

HATE THE RAINBOW VACUUM
by: Anonymous

This vacuum is awful. It is bundlesome, hard to use, and quite frankly the dyson does as good or better a job.
