Taurean 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2007 (edited) I'm considering this vacuum cleaner? any comments?how much did you pay for yours?One of the down side is that it is quite noisy. I'm not sure of the newer models is it still as noisy. Over all i'm quite pleased with Rainbow and there are no consumables parts such as filters n such. It's very durable too, had been in use since my pri sch days till today (i'm in my late 20s) and still going strong. Think it cost 2 - 3k when we bought it Edited October 9, 2007 by Taurean Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agree that it is noisy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keltong 4 Report post Posted February 12, 2008 Never can afford such a vacuum cleaner so will not even look at it I do know FD (from class95) owns one and swears by it. But for that price...I don't know...I am not in the same income bracket as FD definitely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GSS 0 Report post Posted April 2, 2008 Beware these do not come with HEPA filters. And water based vacuums can have the worst performance with dust mites. http://www.allergo.com/bedCareFAQ.html#waterVacuumsI use Dyson. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Topspin 1 Report post Posted April 8, 2008 I don't own this vacuum cleaner therefore cannot comment on it specifically but just wanted to inform all that it is also important to consider the head design. Some head design is not suited for fragile flooring like marble or parquet, it will scratch badly and makes it look blur very quickly.Best is to get a vacuum cleaner dedicated for parquet or marble floor. Ceramic or porcelain floors are more robust therefore are more tolerant of badly designed vacuum head. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
