You can use this on floors, upholstery and even mattresses… One thing I like about the Rainbow would be it’s versatility. Models prior to the E-series that I’m featuring here did not come with the HEPA filter so really fine dust such as drywall dust or firewood ash won’t be stay inside the water but the E-series solves this because it has a HEPA filter inside. This machine will not lose suction no matter how fine the dirt is. One of the biggest benefits you get from the machine is the water filtration that it utilizes to trap dirt, allergens, hair, dust bunnies and all other nasty stuff that hides under carpets.Īnd since there are no filters that can possibly clog up. Unfortunately the main cleaning head does not swivel. The good thing though is that the dolly that has caster wheels underneath that help with maneuverability. This machine is huge for a canister vacuum. When you get this machine, it comes in a huge box that weighs like 30 to 40 pounds because of all the attachments that come along with it.


But before you disregard Rainbow, you may want to consider this if you have issues with allergies and bed bugs. While it is effective at picking up dirt on carpet or mattresses, it is bulky and very heavy. Rainbow brings back old school by re-introducing water filtration to the market. Most vacuums I feature in this blog over the past few years come with a bag or rely on filters and a dirt cup. That brought in the era of the bagged vacuum cleaner until the early 80’s when James Dyson unveiled the first bagless vacuum. So he used a cloth system to capture dirt. While it was efficient, it wasn’t easy to dispose water. In the early history of the vacuum cleaner, Jim Kirby was one of the first inventors that used water as a filtration system to capture dirt.
