Summary: Pricey, medium learning curve, worth it
Comment: My main problem with the Rainbow is how it it sold. You have to let the salesperson into your home and they have that darn referral program. But with all that it can do, you really need a presentation. We bought our Rainbow on the spot and have never regretted that decision. We have 2 big, shedding dogs. I have bought the most privey Hoovers and Bissels but none would get rid of that dog smell or fur. The Rainbow purifies the air (also deodorises) as it vacuums. Powerful suction allows you to clean fans, blinds etc. effortlessly. We also have the carpet and floor cleaner. Although more cumbersome than an upright, it does a better job than others that I have tried - even the commercial Rug Doctors. This machine is not for people looking for ease of use. But if you want deep down cleaning, nothing else compares. Tip: when emptying out the canister, sift it so that only the dirty water goes into the toilet. Dump the rest of the clumped dirt and hair into a trash can. We bought our whole system for $1800 and it is still doing a wonderful job. You can also use the Rainbow to blow inflatable pools up and as a small wetvac.

Summary: Best Vacuum EVER! It actually cleans...
Comment: My brother bought a Rainbow 8 years ago and we all use it for the carpet, floors, car, sofa, bed, and everything else in and outside the house. It vacuums everything from dust to pet hair and all you have to do is flush the water down the toilet afterwards... i've been doing it for 8 years and the toilet hasn't clogged yet. It might be bulky and a little complicated, but at least it cleans, and i never have to have dust in my face from other bagless vacuums. My sister just bought the newest rainbow and its awesome... my mom's friend has the older version and it's still kicking.. i actually saw that same model at my local movie theater and i was shocked it still worked after 15+ yrs. It's that great of a product!

Summary: Asthma? E2 is the BEST!! Pets? NO more doggie smells!!
Comment: 1. I've had asthma for over 50 years. The Rainbow is the ONLY vacuum I can use without having asthma attacks. I've tried top of the line Electrolux, Sears, Dyson, Hoover, etc. They all blow dust back into my home, onto my furniture and bedding.
2. The Water Basin: I love the water basin. I place a large strainer over my toilet and strain the gunk, flush then dispose of the debris in my trash which is carried out nightly. When I wash the bowl and I know it is squeaky clean when I put it away. I'm not keeping the bacteria in my home until the next time to clean because my bag isn't full yet.
3. We have dogs. The bacteria built up in the old bags and filters was disgusting. As soon as the motor is turned on....smelly doggie odors. YUK!! With the Rainbow, clean fresh air. I love using a bit of fragrance before company comes, too. NO MORE CANDLES to emit carbon into the duct work and no more black smudges built up on the walls and ceiling.
4. Certified Air Cleaner: I keep mine on low almost 24/7 when I'm at home. I breathe better, sleep better, enjoy clean fresh air....I don't have to "go outside to get a breath of fresh air"...unless it has just rained...I love being outside after a rain.
5. Our carpets have never been so clean by using the carpet cleaning attachment that we got for free. All we had to do was refer 4 of our friends and we got the attachment for free. We also get other products for free with the referral program. I simply ask my friends to take a look and if they want to, they do, if they don't, that's fine, too. I offered. Many have told me they were so glad I did. We love our Rainbows.
6. The Referral Program: I love the machine. It's just like a good movie or restaurant, I tell a friend when I'm pleased with a movie or a restaurant or car dealer... why not tell them about my vacuum. I feel confident in telling my friends. It's a good product and they need clean carpets, too.
7. This vacuum is not only a vacuum, I scrub and squeegee my sheet flooring and tile. No more money out the window for mops and no more junk in the landfills. I also clean my bedding.
8. Speaking of landfills....I will have this vacuum for 20 or more. No more filling landfills and creating garbage with bags and filters and more cheap vacuums. My dealer said Rainbow has saved more than trees...it has saved entire forests.
9. We have always cleaned once a week, but with the Rainbow, the dust seems to be gone for much longer and we now clean about once every 1 1/2 weeks. The dust just sucks right up into the machine.
10. I love the canister because they go under the furniture and work well on my hardwoods and tile. The E2 has a trolley that moves with ease in my home. The wheels turn 360 degrees.

Comment on other reviews. The water basin is no more cumbersome than moving a large pot of water from the sink to the stove for pasta. I don't consider that a negative. Yes, one has to empty the water and debris, but for an asthmatic with severe dust allergies, it beats having an asthma attack. Not one speck of dust goes out the back...not even the microscopic ones that are not caught in water because of the Hepa filter...and those are few in the average home.

From this customer's point of view, you should have it shown in your home and see for yourself. We did and both of us are so happy we did. Good luck on your selection of the perfect system for you. I hope my review helps.

Summary: Cleanliness That You Can Feel - Great For Allergies
Comment: Pros:
-When you use a conventional vacuum cleaner, you see dust blown all over especially if you look with the sun rays streaming through your window. You see a much big difference using this vac. One of our sons have bad allergies and this helps a lot.
-You not only see the difference, you also feel that you are breathing much cleaner air.

Cons:
-It is heavy as a bulldozer. Imagine hauling it up and down the stairs. This is the reason we use this vac only 6 times a year. My wife has to call me to help tugging it along.
-Price - too much! We got it half price, but probably we still paid too much.
-Maneuverability. Annoying and it really needs some muscle to work with it.
-You also need to clean the vacuum every single time you use it. No, you cannot wait until the bag is full - there is no bag. It has a canister that you fill halfway with water and if you do not clean after each use, it grows bacteria and smells like a dead skunk. Believe me, we have done that.
-It is a hassle to use. Need assembly every time you use it.
-So loud

Summary: Best Vacuum I've ever owned
Comment: I am a mother and step-mother of 7 and I have owned this vacuum for over a year now and we love it. Everytime I vacuum I get so much dirt and hair that it just amazes me still. The water idea to collect the dirt and dust is magnificent, it works! I use it to purify the air after the kids leave for school, and in the winter, I used it to keep the air from getting too dry. I believe that products should be "multi-taskers" and this one does so much...It vacuums, can clean the air, can inflate, use it to blow the dirt off your sidewalk or porch, you can even use it for light carpet cleaning. Sure it is kind of a pain to fill it with water and then empty it out when you are done, but it is well worth it, you gotta take the good with the bad. Also, there are lots of parts that don't have a good storage.
