Wow, I have my mother's rainbow that she bought in the 70's and it still works wonderfully. No hepa filters in those days. The belt on the power head broke, but really easy to replace. Awesome vacuum cleaner and amazing it is over fifty years old.
Hey man great video! I sold Rainbows back in the 90’s, and the filter has definitely changed. The model then had a little round filter that you would put in the exhaust when vacuuming ash, as I was told that that ashes were the only thing that water couldn’t hold. I have the SRX now and I love it
I just bought a black! I use to sell the silvers in 08 and loved them. Bought a gold in 2016 but it bit the dust years later. Can’t wait to use my new black! Thanks for saving me money bc I almost bought the SRX! I appreciate your honesty thank you so much!!
Yes! Maintenance! It is incredible to me that people forget that they need to clean their cleaning appliances too. Be it your vacuum cleaner, your dishwasher, or your washing machine. Your clothes dryer especially needs to be cleaned, and can pose a serious fire hazard otherwise. I have seen people throw perfectly good vacuum out due to lack of suction, and they’ve never cleaned the brush roller or canister.
This review is better than the first negative review. The older model is more expensive than the newer model. Also, the air seeps out of the hose when you connect on the older model. They made the newer model scaled down by lessor suction and more detachable items. Thank for not making a bias review.
Thank you so much for this presentation. I did have someone come to my home and provided me a demo of the Rainbow SRX. I was really considering purchasing it, even with the $4500. price tag. But after seeing the end of your presentation on the SEBO, I decided to check it out at one of the local dealers. I purchased it about 3 days ago, and when I tell you it's the best vacuum cleaners I've ever own, I mean it. Never paid this much for a vacuum, but I am completely satisfied with it. Thank you again for the information you provide to your views. It was very helpful to me in making my final decision.
Lee thanks for the feedback that’s the only reason I do these is to help people make an informed decision and not be pressured into a sale they will regret
Great video, you have explained the differences so well between these two models. I have a collection of Rainbows, none have a hepa filter, I do use them and change the water often, when it starts to get dirty, when I got my first one I would clean most of my home on one water fill and end up with mud and quickly realized that mud does not filter very well.
I just bought a SRX and they have redesigned the power head since this video because on mine the brush roll is much more narrow and thus it picks up way better than the one being shown here actually looks line the black version shown here so I guess they went back to the original design on the power head so looks like rainbow listened to your feed back on this. I’m glad you talked about tipping them over so now that I can be aware of that with mine! Good video! I can tell you know your stuff!
Good detailed reviews 👍 When cleaning pet hair you definitely need to check bowl. It can easily fill up with hair. I have clients that have multiple pets, even cleaning every 2 weeks I have to empty it out every 2 rooms. It is not recommended to dump hair done toilet. I use plastic pasta strainer outside and then bag hair.....it doesn't degrade and will leave mess. If you can find rainbow vacuums used there definitely worth it, or if your budget is bigger then go for new SRX it's very nice 👍
After using the SRX for almost 2 weeks in my cleaning business, I can definitely tell a big difference from the E2 black model 12 I had been using. I was surprised at the amount of dirt it picked up from a vacation rental I clean about once a week..it does a much better job of getting carpets clean. It does require the water bowl to be emptied more. And it does a better job of getting pet hair up. It's more quiet and rolls better. I never expected to be able to get one new there quite expensive. For $1k used... still too much for me but would be worth it (try eBay you might get lucky) As a upgrade from E2 it's very nice 👍
You did excellent job on previous video. I knew SRX sucks. I heard because it’s one stage fan compared to e2 black. All 2 speed models are two stage fans.
👏👏 Great video! I also used to sell Rainbows and in my humble opinion, the E2 Black out cleans the SRX 10 times over! I have actually carved the paper cloth material out of the HEPA on the E2 Black and it has SO MUCH MORE airflow and suction… I fill my basin with about 2.8 quarts of water and I also empty the basin after each room… now, I know the water isn’t going to capture everything, but I’d rather have 100% cleaning ability at the head than worry about the .001% of “dust” coming out the back… The intake on the SRX is way too small which in turn restricts the airflow & suction that the machine is trying to produce which also makes the SRX run HOT. Sure, it may turn at a higher RPM, but when the intake is that small, it doesn’t matter…I’ve had my SRX since December of 2019 and I have used it to vacuum about 7-8 times because it takes me so much longer due to its lack of power… I mostly use it to clean the air 24/7 near our cat boxes… and even though I’ve mostly used it just to clean the air, I’ve already had to get a new computer for it as the other one would shut the machine off at speed 3 after only about 10 minutes of cleaning the air… THANK THE HEAVENS I HAD WARRANTY! So, with that being said, I use my SRX just to clean the air and I use the power head of the SRX (better design powerhead than the E2 black) hooked up to my E2 black which has 100% airflow and suction. I’ll be sure to make a video of all this on my channel. I hope you’ll watch it! 😊
Hi Colter, are you saying to remove the foam on the filter part in the back of the E2? I just got a new filter and have heard it is better to remove the foam/cloth part but I am weary of doing that. Please let me know your opinion. Thank you!
@@1richnasty I’ll upload a video on my RUclips channel and show you what I’m talking about… get this, before, when I had my HEPA in place on my Rainbow, (which was always relatively clean), it never felt like I could get all the sand and grit (heavy material) out of the carpeting… but since I removed that filter (which was reducing airflow dramatically), I have to hunt for the dirt now… carpets have never looked better and never been happier 😊 Do you have an email that I can send you some pictures to if you want…?
@@colterkardas4105 I am also interested in the process of removing the filter for better suction. I looked on your channel and I don’t see a video yet. Hoping to see that soon! 😊
Hi, I have an E2 blue and it's in excellent condition, but its parts are a bit worn out because they haven't been kept very well, and the E2 black and SRX seem a lot more practical to me. So I'm thinking about which one to take and should I even take another rainbow?
26 years ago I paid around 2 grand for my electro license and my mom thought I was crazy I need a new head for the wand it is a beast I got an upgraded version and the maintenance putting a filter in the side I’ve taken it in for servicing twice and once they showed me a simple fix the other was a $50 visit
The pre-HEPA Rainbows did a great job of catching common dirt and dust in the house, but would not catch, obviously any particulate matter that did not get wet easily, and it never claimed to. As a Rainbow agent, I told this to people for years. We were trained to educate owners not to use stuff like carpet fresh, and not to pick up material such as sawdust, sheetrock dust, and other materials naturally resistant to water. Rexair even sold a formula at one time called Aqua-Wet, which could be added to the water in the basin to catch such materials. The HEPA filter was not added to compensate for this. It was added in the late nineties to conform with new U.S. federal government regulations mandating a HEPA filter for any machine claiming to be an air cleaner, for purposes of maintaining its qualification as an air cleaner by IRS standards for tax credit purposes.
Adding to your post, let me say that of all the models I sold since 1987, you cannot beat the D4SE. Simple, plenty of cleaning power (airflow), basic maintenance like cleaning the separator once a month, service thru your nearest rainbow service center every 4 yrs and all that will result in decades of great results. Going against many Rainbow folks’ opinion, I fully support the addition of the hepa neutralizer. Now we’ve got triple filtration - Separator/water bath/Hepa. And, unless you vacuum up drywall dust and other non-wettable materials, you don’t have to touch the hepa. Your Rainbow Rep will automatically replace it when performing the service. Making sure you use the correct water amt, keeping the separator clean and storing the motor and basin apart will keep the Rainbow, no matter which model, in top condition.
Just bought a E2 vacuum at a moving sale, a rare find for $45 not complete tho the only up grade I'd like to see is a battery option model that can use a 18 volt power tool battery
You are talking about fine dust, but you aren't totally defining it as non-water soluble substances are drywall dust, flour and talc but you really shouldn't be picking up this kind of dust with any household vacuum cleaner, even central vacuums. That's what utility and wet/dry vacuum cleaners are for. Otherwise, the Rainbow will get a near-HEPA efficiency with the water alone, something like 98% which, for the D4 back in the 1980s was excellent compared to most of the dust blowers which you are selling the modern versions. In my opinion, the SRX is a step backward with reducing the motor down to a single stage, flow-through style and smaller capacity and also stair cleaning is reduced unless you buy a 14 foot hose. Now, there are several advantages with using a Rainbow versus a conventional machine, including but not limited to consumables. Yes, you have to buy a HEPA for the machine, but the average home can use that filter for five or more years. Miele, Riccar, that MD central vacuum all have a huge environmental impact and disadvantage in price as you may be spending a Rainbow's worth of money just on the filters and bags alone and you're also tossing a lot of plastic into dumps with these machines. The Rainbow, you sift the water and throw away the dirt or...you could compost it. The second advantage has been discussed here as well, the Rainbow is eco-friendly. The motors are designed to last over 50 years compared to the average portable machine (and some central vacuums) that last maybe 30 years. The third advantage, which was lightly discussed in my first paragraph is the machine, especially now, the Rainbow has very low emissions. It can totally hold up to and exceed current conventional vacuum cleaners, especially the central vacuum, which has some of the worst emissions a machine can have. Yes, the dirt is captured outside of the living space, and yes the machine is vented outdoors but there's a good reason for this and it's the fact that the filtration in these machines is poor. Added to that, each time you run the machine, the air is displaced in the house, usually coming in cracks or open windows, bringing in dirt, dust and other hazardous contaminants from outside and from inside the walls. If you put an eye drop or two of rinse aid in the basin, the non-water soluble dust can now be contained in the water.
You should get an anemometer instead of using the baird meter since those are biased more toward Kirby machines than anything. That's what Bill of Vaclab uses. You get an air reading by volume or speed with those. That being said, at least you don't only use one or the other or a what another youtuber uses that he says is the penultimate way of rating vacuum cleaning power: working water lift gauge. (negative pressure on an orifice plate) I have no issue with how he talks about vacuum cleaners, but when you see him pull this gimmicky device out (which skews more toward the bias of central vacuum cleaners) it seems laughable.
I have a Miele and I am tired of buying their high-priced bags and filters every time I turn around. I grew up with a Rainbow cleaner in our house. We were given strict lessons as children on how to operate it by our mother because back then, this was an investment for the home. That Rainbow lasted 30 years. My mother put the pieces back in the original box after she cleaned it up every time she used it. People don't take care of things these days because stuff comes too easily. Compared to that cleaner I grew up with, these machines look cheap.
HI, Thank you for the video. My new home has a lot of dust in the air and for that reason, I am looking for a water system filtration. Would you recommend a new rainbow over the old or VS for using it as a Room Air cleaner? Did cleaning the air in the room function become any better in its new model?
I would recommend a stand alone air unit that can run 24/7 bissell has one I personally use the filter queen defender... I know electrolux has a couple of models as well.
I agree with you, I have owned my e2 black since 2014 and never had problems,. The SRX so many problems it's unreal plus I've also said it's not as powerful
@@gagainer I did a test with my e2 blue i put sand on the floor and i used the power nozzle with the brushroll off and it didn’t leave any sand behind so i’m glad i don’t have to worry about it leaving sand like the srx
I am so disappointed in the new SRX. You are spot on how it has poor suction. I was using the attachment for bare floors and it still didn’t pick up some dirt. I had to keep going over it. I can’t tell you how exasperated I was. I will not own another one. I couldn’t suck enough water out of the area rug I cleaned and it started to smell. They won’t take them back either. They are way over priced, but I had to have one. Buyers regret for sure. Now I am on the hunt for a good quality one that has great suction and can get under my bed and work on all types of flooring. Any ideas?
I appreciate your response... People are misled....look at market place its littered with these machines because people realize after the fact...its crap and then you have dumped 3k into a new one..SEBO and Miele are both great machines
What would be your top...say 3 to 5 models or any brand released in the last 50 years that you think are the best winners out there.. could you live with just one vacuum?
Thanks for your info! What vacuum would you recommend that will suck up all of the stuff left behind in carpet and upholstery that cheaper vacuums leave behind? My family doesn’t have bad allergies but I will Admit what impressed me with the rainbow was what it got out of my carpet after I used my old vacuum.
any vacuum if any substance can do the same thing....I personally love the Miele products, sebo is great and Filter queen but that has some disadvantages...its an old school with not alot of updates..
Hey guys, thank you for this video. I briefly sold Rainbows in the 90’s in college. Literally, only for the demos to buy mine and then bailed. I have a house consisting of hardwood floors from 1959, some tile and linoleum in the kitchen and washroom. I also have a dog too. What vacuum do you guys recommend? I just bought a Bissell Crosswave Pet Pro for wet vacuuming/mopping and a Bissell Spot Clean Pet Pro for my furniture and vehicle. I saw several RUclips videos showing results and recommending both. However, if I simply need to vacuum the floors for a quick clean up or as a pre clean up before the wet vacuum/mop, what would you guys recommend? I also live in Northeast Colorado, where it has lots of wind and dust due to be surrounded by a heavy agricultural area. I care more about performance and quality over anything else even if it means that I’m paying more money for a vacuum. Thank you very much for your help and advice! I’m a single man once again and my ex was never a very good house cleaner as opposed to the family I grew up in where everyone kept a very clean house. So now I’m going to be my own maid once again but I’ve haven’t really researched stuff like this in more than 2 decades.
Sorry for late response.... I love the Miele and sebo straight suction .... miele has the triflex which was just upgraded... but you pay a premium... I personally love canister for multifunction application and the triflex fits that bill with a cordless multifunction machine......I would reach out to cory at the shop he has more input on that than me..but thanks so much for watching..
I like the Dyson not the new one with the one below it. It works really good. I just got the rainbow. I actually I do like it but it’s cumbersome. They caught a lot of stuff and I do have the one you’re talking about the Bissell. I love that one
Great informative video! I almost bought a new SRX but after watching your video I changed my mind. I’m not sure whether to buy a refurbished E2 black or a brand new Sirena. What’s your opinion?
I do also have tile and hardware floors only. I do own a Sirena vaccum but both side locks broke, I replaced but now here those locks attach to the machine also broke so I don't not know if I should fix or get something else. What do you recommend? I have two level house.
Thanks for the video! I’m in the market for a new vacuum. I have wanted a rainbow for years but I worried about making the investment and it being the wrong choice since I have 2 large German shepherds (lotttts of hair)
Hi. I could barely hear the man in the red shirt. Thank you for sharing. We have a old Rainbow vacuum cleaner. We are older now and I need a vacuum cleaner that is lighter, etc. Suggestions: ?
Which vacuum filters out the finest particles? I had a rainbow for 15 years. Loved it. Let an acquaintance borrow it and they broke it. I've been using a dyson for 5 years. Ready to either get back on the rainbow bandwagon and buy the SRX new or spend $600 buying the E2Black or try something else. Thanks for these videos and your help. I like that you are honest with the reviews. I for one do not want someone to tell me what I want to hear but the truth.
@@gagainer What about the filter queen? Looking for something that is a bit easier to just grab and clean up but still picks up stuff well and keeps my air clean. Thanks.
I just upgraded to the srx 2 days ago and am most likely going to return it and get my E2 back. I’m really not impressed with the new model. Just finished cleaning with it and there are definitely many things I prefer about the E2.
Hey Leah Please notify them asap that you will return or they will get you with the three day clause Also would love to know your pros and cons for it in list format im curious since you are a rainbow user and I use to sell
@@gagainer I am reaching out Monday to let them know that I would like the E2 back. Since tomorrow is Sunday and they are closed, they assured me I have until Monday to return it. Pros for SRX - More than 2 settings - Blue light instead of harsh white light - More attachments - Easy to remove water canister Cons for SRX - Doesn’t maneuver as well - Will not roll over own cord on hard floor surfaces, only on carpet - Harder to access the filter underneath - Doesn’t suck dirt up as well/had to make several more passes on rugs in particular - Heavier overall/whole unit and carpet attachment - No trigger lock on handle

Okay, so the sebo has more suction, so better than rainbow, I have DC4 SE and am thinking of upgrading to e series 12 silver. But now am thinking of the sebo, so my question is what is sebo suction when bag is 1/2 full? Or max full, please do suction test on sebo with full bag.
What a great video, very informative and helpful! I'm in the market for a new vacuum and I'm considering a Rainbow E2 Black but I'm curious what your favorite vacuum is. I have a daughter with dust allergies. Thanks for the info!!
I love my E2 and chose not to get the SRX because I just wasn’t impressed with it. I actually love the spinning side brushes. The e2 power head does great going from carpet to hard floors without having to turn the roller off. I love my E2 and own many top and vacuums. SRX is NOT worth the money… also… to the hype of water vacs. To me they are the superior bagless vacs simply for when it comes to emptying the dirt
My biggest issue with this video is that you recorded 360p in 2021! We can barely see your content! C'mon guys! Otherwise, thank you for the video. I still have D4 SE and I'm happy with it and like it more than Kirby of the same generation. On the other hand, couldn't care less for any brand in particular. Rainbow does make good products as well as some idiotic decisions along the way and you should point those out! Can't stand fanboys of any sort, that's ignorant.
I had a home demo of the SRX, it appeared amazing but I am not one to just buy on the spot. I got online and found the E2 Black for significantly less, however, still wanted to make sure I was making a good choice. I really like the Rainbow for the home purifying feature. What is your opinion of that? Am I better off getting a separate vacuum and purifier?
Second time I used the Sirena, the latch caught the back of the water tank and dumped it all over the floor! Sorry, I searched for a comparison for the Sirena vs Rainbow. Sirena is not Rainbow?
@@jamaste All depends on personal preference and what you are looking to get out of the machine. The canister will always be the most versatile. Give Cory a call at @triadcleanhome House Of Vacuums Triad and he can best help you.
First of all thank you so much for both of you guys is knowledge on the rainbows I had asrx model I returned it because I was having issues with it and now I went back to a Hoover bagged vacuum which Hoover is not the same as it was when I was a kid back in the 80s this was not either and neither is Dirt Devil Eureka used to be a good brand but I don't see a lot of their products anymore which vacuum do you recommend so far as bags I never liked it Bagless models so which and I love uprights better than I do canisters so which bagged upright is do you recommend thank you so much and will continue to watch and does the other young man does he have a RUclips channel as well
Wow, that was ONE.LONG.RUN-ON SENTENCE...which is distracting (run on makes it hard to know when to stop and start reading again) and that makes it difficult to understand exactly what you're trying to say.
Great vid. I have not seen your previous one where you got bashed though.. I will say that my E2 Black is fully sealed. You can suck water through it and it will not damage it enough to make the user get it serviced. In fact you could technically clean one of fine dust by sucking water through it. I dont recommend it but I have done it and I DO NOT promote it but it 'can' be done. Another part of this video is where you 2 are talking about sand... NO vacuum has excelled at sand pick up. Carpets are a magnet for sand and the only way I have seen to get most of it out was with a very aggressive beater bar and time. Sad baird meter... womp womp... thanks for that info... 98% of this video is exactly right. Good vid man!
The E2's have been phased out therefore, if a unit is procured through a private sale the warranty is void. Rainbow will who the original owner would have been and when the names don't match, the repairs will be an out of pocket expense.
yes ... very aware of that..rainbow is very strict with their warranty policy much like champion windows are... I have never understood this .. either back a machine from date of manufacture or just not offer... so many machines are sold off for various reason regardless of manufacturer. if it is a solid product... it ought to have a solid warranty.. period.
I disagree...how do you know someone won't damage the machine after buying second hand, then go to Rainbow and claim it's defective? Rainbow is just protecting themselves.@@gagainer
I am thinking of buying a water-filtering vacuum to clean rock wool/possible asbestos contamination area. I feel this is a good option for maximum safety. All comments welcome if you do or do not think this is safest way as opposed to just HEPA. I will hire professionals once I eliminate the hoarding situation. Thanks!
Using any household use vacuum for fine hazardous dust is a bad idea! What you want is a OSHA certified dust extractor. hilti or festool make very nice units.
Oh boy… use what you want.. you have too much time on your hands to get on here to “prove your point” Must be nice to have all of that free time! I personally love both my SRX and E2 Black.. my SRX does pull more dirt than my E2 though!
thanks... I plainly say you use what you feel works best every house is different.. .Not here to make a point just doing a review...something I like to do on the side from my normal job.. thanks for watching.. I appreciate it.
Too bad your video quality is almost every time off. too dark, too bright, bad sound, bad resolution, everytime something is off :(. Can't hear anything the guy in the red shirt says (on max volume!!).
I am so sad I bought this vaccum like 5 months ago. The SRX sucks. I have a Riccar and they fooled me onto buying one of these and I hate it. 3k for a vacuum that doesn't suck very well
Have you tried the Kloarik? Let me see if I'm spelling it wrong I'm sure I am but just look this up and it should pop up it's a clear blue shot vac looking water filter system. I would love for you to do a review on it bec it is dirt cheap lol get it... Ha ha but, yeah I am going to buy it anyway bec it's on sale right now for 79. Normally is 140, which I still would pay if it works good. I just don't think it has a HEPA filter like you were talking about. This is why u basically can't use a shot vac as a water filter system. The water would be at the bottom while you have a wet filter on the motor. Then, the air passes threw only catching whatever the filter catches that doesn't fall into the water, right? I have a hart 6 gallon shit vacuum that I paid 30 brand new. This was a stealer deal. The body frame isn't the best but then again I shouldn't have had it above my stomach pushing the dirty air out the window 😂 not doing that again. I pushed the cord to much and it feel over. I'm sad about that and hoping it will get popped out but the good thing is it still works just fine! I sold the Ocean Blue so, I am well aware of the type of motor that is required to filter like it does. I believe they compared it to a small engine? They told me the machine shampooed but I never saw the adapters to allow it to work like one. Does the Rainbow come with an extension that allows spraying water out? I could just poor water down and vacuum it up 😂
Wow, I have my mother's rainbow that she bought in the 70's and it still works wonderfully. No hepa filters in those days. The belt on the power head broke, but really easy to replace. Awesome vacuum cleaner and amazing it is over fifty years old.
I agree the machines back in the day were the bomb
Hey man great video! I sold Rainbows back in the 90’s, and the filter has definitely changed. The model then had a little round filter that you would put in the exhaust when vacuuming ash, as I was told that that ashes were the only thing that water couldn’t hold. I have the SRX now and I love it

So your 2016 Gold Rainbow died in less than 10 years? I thought Rainbows were supposed to last decades.
Yes! Maintenance! It is incredible to me that people forget that they need to clean their cleaning appliances too. Be it your vacuum cleaner, your dishwasher, or your washing machine. Your clothes dryer especially needs to be cleaned, and can pose a serious fire hazard otherwise. I have seen people throw perfectly good vacuum out due to lack of suction, and they’ve never cleaned the brush roller or canister.
Good to know that my E2 black is stronger :D Nice video. Rainbow is the Mercedes of Vacuum cleaners
This review is better than the first negative review. The older model is more expensive than the newer model. Also, the air seeps out of the hose when you connect on the older model. They made the newer model scaled down by lessor suction and more detachable items. Thank for not making a bias review.
I bought the 14’ hose for my E2 Black. Really helped a lot.
Yeah, I bought one 14 ft electric and one 14 ft "wet" for cleaning high, stairs and cars. Like you said, it is very useful.

Thanks for the tips!
After using the SRX for almost 2 weeks in my cleaning business, I can definitely tell a big difference from the E2 black model 12 I had been using. I was surprised at the amount of dirt it picked up from a vacation rental I clean about once a week..it does a much better job of getting carpets clean. It does require the water bowl to be emptied more. And it does a better job of getting pet hair up. It's more quiet and rolls better.
I never expected to be able to get one new there quite expensive. For $1k used... still too much for me but would be worth it (try eBay you might get lucky)
As a upgrade from E2 it's very nice 👍
You did excellent job on previous video. I knew SRX sucks. I heard because it’s one stage fan compared to e2 black. All 2 speed models are two stage fans.
👏👏
Great video! I also used to sell Rainbows and in my humble opinion, the E2 Black out cleans the SRX 10 times over! I have actually carved the paper cloth material out of the HEPA on the E2 Black and it has SO MUCH MORE airflow and suction… I fill my basin with about 2.8 quarts of water and I also empty the basin after each room… now, I know the water isn’t going to capture everything, but I’d rather have 100% cleaning ability at the head than worry about the .001% of “dust” coming out the back…
The intake on the SRX is way too small which in turn restricts the airflow & suction that the machine is trying to produce which also makes the SRX run HOT. Sure, it may turn at a higher RPM, but when the intake is that small, it doesn’t matter…I’ve had my SRX since December of 2019 and I have used it to vacuum about 7-8 times because it takes me so much longer due to its lack of power… I mostly use it to clean the air 24/7 near our cat boxes… and even though I’ve mostly used it just to clean the air, I’ve already had to get a new computer for it as the other one would shut the machine off at speed 3 after only about 10 minutes of cleaning the air… THANK THE HEAVENS I HAD WARRANTY!
So, with that being said, I use my SRX just to clean the air and I use the power head of the SRX (better design powerhead than the E2 black) hooked up to my E2 black which has 100% airflow and suction. I’ll be sure to make a video of all this on my channel. I hope you’ll watch it! 😊
Hi Colter, are you saying to remove the foam on the filter part in the back of the E2? I just got a new filter and have heard it is better to remove the foam/cloth part but I am weary of doing that. Please let me know your opinion. Thank you!
@@1richnasty I’ll upload a video on my RUclips channel and show you what I’m talking about… get this, before, when I had my HEPA in place on my Rainbow, (which was always relatively clean), it never felt like I could get all the sand and grit (heavy material) out of the carpeting… but since I removed that filter (which was reducing airflow dramatically), I have to hunt for the dirt now… carpets have never looked better and never been happier 😊
Do you have an email that I can send you some pictures to if you want…?
@@colterkardas4105 I am also interested in the process of removing the filter for better suction. I looked on your channel and I don’t see a video yet. Hoping to see that soon! 😊
@@cassandraphillips7842 I have been quite busy, but will post one soon! What model of Rainbow do you have?
Hi, I have an E2 blue and it's in excellent condition, but its parts are a bit worn out because they haven't been kept very well, and the E2 black and SRX seem a lot more practical to me. So I'm thinking about which one to take and should I even take another rainbow?
26 years ago I paid around 2 grand for my electro license and my mom thought I was crazy I need a new head for the wand it is a beast I got an upgraded version and the maintenance putting a filter in the side I’ve taken it in for servicing twice and once they showed me a simple fix the other was a $50 visit
Great comparison! Thanks
I was planning on upgrading - thanks for the info!ill keep my E2!
Good choice!
The pre-HEPA Rainbows did a great job of catching common dirt and dust in the house, but would not catch, obviously any particulate matter that did not get wet easily, and it never claimed to. As a Rainbow agent, I told this to people for years. We were trained to educate owners not to use stuff like carpet fresh, and not to pick up material such as sawdust, sheetrock dust, and other materials naturally resistant to water. Rexair even sold a formula at one time called Aqua-Wet, which could be added to the water in the basin to catch such materials.
The HEPA filter was not added to compensate for this. It was added in the late nineties to conform with new U.S. federal government regulations mandating a HEPA filter for any machine claiming to be an air cleaner, for purposes of maintaining its qualification as an air cleaner by IRS standards for tax credit purposes.
Adding to your post, let me say that of all the models I sold since 1987, you cannot beat the D4SE. Simple, plenty of cleaning power (airflow), basic maintenance like cleaning the separator once a month, service thru your nearest rainbow service center every 4 yrs and all that will result in decades of great results. Going against many Rainbow folks’ opinion, I fully support the addition of the hepa neutralizer. Now we’ve got triple filtration - Separator/water bath/Hepa. And, unless you vacuum up drywall dust and other non-wettable materials, you don’t have to touch the hepa. Your Rainbow Rep will automatically replace it when performing the service. Making sure you use the correct water amt, keeping the separator clean and storing the motor and basin apart will keep the Rainbow, no matter which model, in top condition.
great honest review. I spent waaaay too much dough on this years ago.
Oh no! thanks for watching
I would Love your opinion on a new vacuum! I have a rainbow and always have, I am looking to make a change for my own reasons. Thank-you!
Just bought a E2 vacuum at a moving sale, a rare find for $45 not complete tho the only up grade I'd like to see is a battery option model that can use a 18 volt power tool battery
you got a deal..... Way to go
You are talking about fine dust, but you aren't totally defining it as non-water soluble substances are drywall dust, flour and talc but you really shouldn't be picking up this kind of dust with any household vacuum cleaner, even central vacuums. That's what utility and wet/dry vacuum cleaners are for. Otherwise, the Rainbow will get a near-HEPA efficiency with the water alone, something like 98% which, for the D4 back in the 1980s was excellent compared to most of the dust blowers which you are selling the modern versions. In my opinion, the SRX is a step backward with reducing the motor down to a single stage, flow-through style and smaller capacity and also stair cleaning is reduced unless you buy a 14 foot hose.
Now, there are several advantages with using a Rainbow versus a conventional machine, including but not limited to consumables. Yes, you have to buy a HEPA for the machine, but the average home can use that filter for five or more years. Miele, Riccar, that MD central vacuum all have a huge environmental impact and disadvantage in price as you may be spending a Rainbow's worth of money just on the filters and bags alone and you're also tossing a lot of plastic into dumps with these machines. The Rainbow, you sift the water and throw away the dirt or...you could compost it. The second advantage has been discussed here as well, the Rainbow is eco-friendly. The motors are designed to last over 50 years compared to the average portable machine (and some central vacuums) that last maybe 30 years.
The third advantage, which was lightly discussed in my first paragraph is the machine, especially now, the Rainbow has very low emissions. It can totally hold up to and exceed current conventional vacuum cleaners, especially the central vacuum, which has some of the worst emissions a machine can have. Yes, the dirt is captured outside of the living space, and yes the machine is vented outdoors but there's a good reason for this and it's the fact that the filtration in these machines is poor. Added to that, each time you run the machine, the air is displaced in the house, usually coming in cracks or open windows, bringing in dirt, dust and other hazardous contaminants from outside and from inside the walls. If you put an eye drop or two of rinse aid in the basin, the non-water soluble dust can now be contained in the water.
You should get an anemometer instead of using the baird meter since those are biased more toward Kirby machines than anything. That's what Bill of Vaclab uses. You get an air reading by volume or speed with those. That being said, at least you don't only use one or the other or a what another youtuber uses that he says is the penultimate way of rating vacuum cleaning power: working water lift gauge. (negative pressure on an orifice plate) I have no issue with how he talks about vacuum cleaners, but when you see him pull this gimmicky device out (which skews more toward the bias of central vacuum cleaners) it seems laughable.
The Rainbow is a Bad mutha sucka. Traps so much air particles and the suction is like Monica Lewinsky with filtration.
I have a Miele and I am tired of buying their high-priced bags and filters every time I turn around. I grew up with a Rainbow cleaner in our house. We were given strict lessons as children on how to operate it by our mother because back then, this was an investment for the home. That Rainbow lasted 30 years. My mother put the pieces back in the original box after she cleaned it up every time she used it. People don't take care of things these days because stuff comes too easily. Compared to that cleaner I grew up with, these machines look cheap.
never heard of a sebo but I like the water that I can pour out having the dirt rather than a bag
Great video, guys! Keep ‘em coming, please!!!
What's the airflow like after the SEBO filter fills up with dust particles
HI, Thank you for the video. My new home has a lot of dust in the air and for that reason, I am looking for a water system filtration. Would you recommend a new rainbow over the old or VS for using it as a Room Air cleaner? Did cleaning the air in the room function become any better in its new model?
I would recommend a stand alone air unit that can run 24/7 bissell has one I personally use the filter queen defender... I know electrolux has a couple of models as well.
I have that same sebo vacuum and love it. I like your videos a lot, very informative.
Thanks for the in depth review!
Does the same Rainjet and Aquamate for the E2 Black Series also work for the SRX model?
My powerhead on my does work on my floors and picks up picks up all the dirt I do not know what you're trying to pick up but mine works excellent
hello sir, can you review the Sirena or Bleugrens T5 vacuum?
I agree with you, I have owned my e2 black since 2014 and never had problems,. The SRX so many problems it's unreal plus I've also said it's not as powerful
Thanks!! it helped me a lot
From the e2 blue and the srx which one is better?
E2 blue
@@gagainer I did a test with my e2 blue i put sand on the floor and i used the power nozzle with the brushroll off and it didn’t leave any sand behind so i’m glad i don’t have to worry about it leaving sand like the srx
How about the wheels are they any different both
Which one would you recommend?
I am so disappointed in the new SRX. You are spot on how it has poor suction. I was using the attachment for bare floors and it still didn’t pick up some dirt. I had to keep going over it. I can’t tell you how exasperated I was. I will not own another one. I couldn’t suck enough water out of the area rug I cleaned and it started to smell. They won’t take them back either. They are way over priced, but I had to have one. Buyers regret for sure. Now I am on the hunt for a good quality one that has great suction and can get under my bed and work on all types of flooring. Any ideas?
I appreciate your response... People are misled....look at market place its littered with these machines because people realize after the fact...its crap and then you have dumped 3k into a new one..SEBO and Miele are both great machines
What would be your top...say 3 to 5 models or any brand released in the last 50 years that you think are the best winners out there.. could you live with just one vacuum?
Nice i have been waiting for this kind of video!
Thanks for your info! What vacuum would you recommend that will suck up all of the stuff left behind in carpet and upholstery that cheaper vacuums leave behind? My family doesn’t have bad allergies but I will
Admit what impressed me with the rainbow was what it got out of my carpet after I used my old vacuum.
any vacuum if any substance can do the same thing....I personally love the Miele products, sebo is great and Filter queen but that has some disadvantages...its an old school with not alot of updates..
Our Rainbow is a SE model. Thanks again.
Do they still make the rug tool for the newer models?!
This was very interesting Thank You G for explain about the test meters and everything was great! and update!
Thanks again appreciate your videos
Hey guys, thank you for this video. I briefly sold Rainbows in the 90’s in college. Literally, only for the demos to buy mine and then bailed. I have a house consisting of hardwood floors from 1959, some tile and linoleum in the kitchen and washroom. I also have a dog too. What vacuum do you guys recommend? I just bought a Bissell Crosswave Pet Pro for wet vacuuming/mopping and a Bissell Spot Clean Pet Pro for my furniture and vehicle. I saw several RUclips videos showing results and recommending both. However, if I simply need to vacuum the floors for a quick clean up or as a pre clean up before the wet vacuum/mop, what would you guys recommend? I also live in Northeast Colorado, where it has lots of wind and dust due to be surrounded by a heavy agricultural area. I care more about performance and quality over anything else even if it means that I’m paying more money for a vacuum. Thank you very much for your help
and advice! I’m a single man once again and my ex was never a very good house cleaner as opposed to the family I grew up in where everyone kept a very clean house. So now I’m going to be my own maid once again but I’ve haven’t really researched stuff like this in more than 2 decades.
Sorry for late response.... I love the Miele and sebo straight suction .... miele has the triflex which was just upgraded... but you pay a premium... I personally love canister for multifunction application and the triflex fits that bill with a cordless multifunction machine......I would reach out to cory at the shop he has more input on that than me..but thanks so much for watching..
I like the Dyson not the new one with the one below it. It works really good. I just got the rainbow. I actually I do like it but it’s cumbersome. They caught a lot of stuff and I do have the one you’re talking about the Bissell. I love that one
Would be interesting to see how the SRX performs with the E2 Black's PN for the hard floor sand pickup test - they should be interchangeable.
just uploaded a new video... check it out
Never owned a water vacuum. Main purpose for me is to clean tile foot & grout. What do you recommend?
a steamer
We had a D3. It lasted 45 years. I got it as a hand me down and it just died a few years ago.
Have you reviewed the Sirena vacuum cleaner which also uses water?
yes there is a video up of it
Great informative video! I almost bought a new SRX but after watching your video I changed my mind. I’m not sure whether to buy a refurbished E2 black or a brand new Sirena. What’s your opinion?
yes much like many I was sorely disappointed..especially now that I have had time to compare to other machines... ITs not even close
great review, thanks
HOW OFTEN DOES HEPA FILTER NEED TO BE CHANGED
What vacuums do you suggest for hard wood floors an tile? We have tile an wood everywhere, except 3 carpeted bedrooms.
Do you prefer upright or canister
I do also have tile and hardware floors only. I do own a Sirena vaccum but both side locks broke, I replaced but now here those locks attach to the machine also broke so I don't not know if I should fix or get something else. What do you recommend? I have two level house.
Thanks for the video! I’m in the market for a new vacuum. I have wanted a rainbow for years but I worried about making the investment and it being the wrong choice since I have 2 large German shepherds (lotttts of hair)
Hey I have a German Shepherd. what vacuum are you using? Have you tried the Rainbow?
Hi. I could barely hear the man in the red shirt. Thank you for sharing. We have a old Rainbow vacuum cleaner. We are older now and I need a vacuum cleaner that is lighter, etc. Suggestions: ?
Which vacuum filters out the finest particles? I had a rainbow for 15 years. Loved it. Let an acquaintance borrow it and they broke it. I've been using a dyson for 5 years. Ready to either get back on the rainbow bandwagon and buy the SRX new or spend $600 buying the E2Black or try something else. Thanks for these videos and your help. I like that you are honest with the reviews. I for one do not want someone to tell me what I want to hear but the truth.
You can’t go wrong w a Miele the proof in filtration on many other videos they are awesome
If you choose rainbow do the black E2 more power
@@gagainer Thank you!
@@gagainer What about the filter queen? Looking for something that is a bit easier to just grab and clean up but still picks up stuff well and keeps my air clean. Thanks.
I just upgraded to the srx 2 days ago and am most likely going to return it and get my E2 back. I’m really not impressed with the new model. Just finished cleaning with it and there are definitely many things I prefer about the E2.
Hey Leah
Please notify them asap that you will return or they will get you with the three day clause
Also would love to know your pros and cons for it in list format im curious since you are a rainbow user and I use to sell
@@gagainer I am reaching out Monday to let them know that I would like the E2 back. Since tomorrow is Sunday and they are closed, they assured me I have until Monday to return it.
Pros for SRX
- More than 2 settings
- Blue light instead of harsh white light
- More attachments
- Easy to remove water canister
Cons for SRX
- Doesn’t maneuver as well
- Will not roll over own cord on hard floor surfaces, only on carpet
- Harder to access the filter underneath
- Doesn’t suck dirt up as well/had to make several more passes on rugs in particular
- Heavier overall/whole unit and carpet attachment
- No trigger lock on handle
Are the attachments between the E2 and SRX interchangeable?
Yes they are
How strange that they can’t engineer a unit with performance on-par with a Miele C3 or Aerus canister.
agree
can I replace cord on srx with a rainbow black cord
What would you suggest for pet hair on the sofa and floors. Enjoyed your video

What vacuum do u recommend for allergy sufferers please. My son has a severe dustmite allergy
miele and sebo offer amazing products for allergy sufferers
I like the Srx
Clean away it’s a personal choice I was just laying out the facts
Great video, very informative 👍
thank you
I have the e2 black. Am I able to let it run on the air filtration 24/7 like they claim you can do on the srx?
you can.. I wouldn't recommend...water evaporates.. unless you plan on constant monitoring the water level
15:30 great advice for water based vacuumers! hehe
Great video. Very informative.
Aside from the good looks of the srx, it’s a really bad performer in all categories.
How do I clean the E2 Black water basin? Cant seem to get the dirt out
Soak it in dawn I wouldn’t use anything abrasive it will scratch maybe some Clorox as well
What would you recommend for a moderate price for carpets?
miele or sebo
@@gagainer not a fan of kirbys?
Okay, so the sebo has more suction, so better than rainbow, I have DC4 SE and am thinking of upgrading to e series 12 silver. But now am thinking of the sebo, so my question is what is sebo suction when bag is 1/2 full? Or max full, please do suction test on sebo with full bag.
sebo even with bag full still has amazing airflow.. I like the E series..I just posted another video comparing 5 diff machines
How is that possible? If bag is full, it cannot have proper air flow, or dust will get back into the air. Makes zero sense.@@gagainer
What a great video, very informative and helpful! I'm in the market for a new vacuum and I'm considering a Rainbow E2 Black but I'm curious what your favorite vacuum is. I have a daughter with dust allergies. Thanks for the info!!
I love miele and sebo.. amazing filtration
@@gagainer thanks!
Where can I get a Baird meter??
cory can answer that but you should be able to find one on amazon or google it..
maybe eBay
Are you guys aware that the rainbow has a bare floor attachment? That main one is for carpet.
They specifically said you have to change the attachment. That is the point .. who wants to do that?! Not me!
I love my E2 and chose not to get the SRX because I just wasn’t impressed with it. I actually love the spinning side brushes. The e2 power head does great going from carpet to hard floors without having to turn the roller off. I love my E2 and own many top and vacuums. SRX is NOT worth the money… also… to the hype of water vacs. To me they are the superior bagless vacs simply for when it comes to emptying the dirt
Where can I purchase those meters?
that's a cory question... ill find out
My biggest issue with this video is that you recorded 360p in 2021! We can barely see your content! C'mon guys!
Otherwise, thank you for the video. I still have D4 SE and I'm happy with it and like it more than Kirby of the same generation. On the other hand, couldn't care less for any brand in particular.
Rainbow does make good products as well as some idiotic decisions along the way and you should point those out! Can't stand fanboys of any sort, that's ignorant.
I have since fixed this... and I am sorry... apple iPhone had an issue with 4k and iMovie.. conversion... its not fixed...
I had a home demo of the SRX, it appeared amazing but I am not one to just buy on the spot. I got online and found the E2 Black for significantly less, however, still wanted to make sure I was making a good choice. I really like the Rainbow for the home purifying feature. What is your opinion of that? Am I better off getting a separate vacuum and purifier?
Get a vacuum and a stand alone filter system I use a filter queen defender 24/7 in my home I love it
@@gagainer Appreciate the advise!
Never buy rainbows used. Vacuum shops don’t have access to factory parts so it lessens the life expectancy.
Vacuums don’t work. Why would you buy a vacuum that spews crap in the air… didn’t we buy it to clean?? How is that cleaning?
Second time I used the Sirena, the latch caught the back of the water tank and dumped it all over the floor! Sorry, I searched for a comparison for the Sirena vs Rainbow. Sirena is not Rainbow?
Which vacume do you think is best? He said rainbow is ok not the best. What is the best
Depends on the environment and type of flooring each home or office is diff I personally use a sebo
@@gagainer which SEBO Model do you use? I‘m interesred both X7 boost and D4 premium Model
@@jamaste All depends on personal preference and what you are looking to get out of the machine. The canister will always be the most versatile. Give Cory a call at @triadcleanhome House Of Vacuums Triad and he can best help you.
First of all thank you so much for both of you guys is knowledge on the rainbows I had asrx model I returned it because I was having issues with it and now I went back to a Hoover bagged vacuum which Hoover is not the same as it was when I was a kid back in the 80s this was not either and neither is Dirt Devil Eureka used to be a good brand but I don't see a lot of their products anymore which vacuum do you recommend so far as bags I never liked it Bagless models so which and I love uprights better than I do canisters so which bagged upright is do you recommend thank you so much and will continue to watch and does the other young man does he have a RUclips channel as well
Hi. Yes @triadcleanhome Send us a message and we will be happy to help! Also on all social media @triadcleanhome
Wow, that was ONE.LONG.RUN-ON SENTENCE...which is distracting (run on makes it hard to know when to stop and start reading again) and that makes it difficult to understand exactly what you're trying to say.
why would anyone use a vacuum with a bag? Not being sarcastic. The bags get full and don't work. They store dust and dirt. Gross
Great vid. I have not seen your previous one where you got bashed though.. I will say that my E2 Black is fully sealed. You can suck water through it and it will not damage it enough to make the user get it serviced. In fact you could technically clean one of fine dust by sucking water through it. I dont recommend it but I have done it and I DO NOT promote it but it 'can' be done.
Another part of this video is where you 2 are talking about sand... NO vacuum has excelled at sand pick up. Carpets are a magnet for sand and the only way I have seen to get most of it out was with a very aggressive beater bar and time.
Sad baird meter... womp womp... thanks for that info... 98% of this video is exactly right. Good vid man!
Greg you have the SRX brush roll in backwards, LMAO
No it’s not it’s the correct way what you are seeing is the base plate sorry but you are wrong
It's true the brush roll is backwards
It's backwards!
Look in the manual at the pictire!
Good video but dude in red needed to have a mic
WHAT IS THE BEST , IN YOUR OPINION, ALL AROUND HOME VACUUM CLEANER ON THE MARKET. GRANNIE BEEE
the taller fellow needs a microphone
to the people who hate on this guy, you just cant handle his straight facts! 😂
can you make a test on the SIRENA vacuum pls......next
check my channel there is one on there...
The E2's have been phased out therefore, if a unit is procured through a private sale the warranty is void. Rainbow will who the original owner would have been and when the names don't match, the repairs will be an out of pocket expense.
yes ... very aware of that..rainbow is very strict with their warranty policy much like champion windows are... I have never understood this .. either back a machine from date of manufacture or just not offer... so many machines are sold off for various reason regardless of manufacturer. if it is a solid product... it ought to have a solid warranty.. period.
I disagree...how do you know someone won't damage the machine after buying second hand, then go to Rainbow and claim it's defective? Rainbow is just protecting themselves.@@gagainer
I am thinking of buying a water-filtering vacuum to clean rock wool/possible asbestos contamination area. I feel this is a good option for maximum safety. All comments welcome if you do or do not think this is safest way as opposed to just HEPA. I will hire professionals once I eliminate the hoarding situation. Thanks!
Using any household use vacuum for fine hazardous dust is a bad idea! What you want is a OSHA certified dust extractor. hilti or festool make very nice units.
Oh boy… use what you want.. you have too much time on your hands to get on here to “prove your point” Must be nice to have all of that free time! I personally love both my SRX and E2 Black.. my SRX does pull more dirt than my E2 though!
thanks... I plainly say you use what you feel works best every house is different.. .Not here to make a point just doing a review...something I like to do on the side from my normal job.. thanks for watching.. I appreciate it.

Too bad your video quality is almost every time off.
too dark, too bright, bad sound, bad resolution, everytime something is off :(.
Can't hear anything the guy in the red shirt says (on max volume!!).
I am so sad I bought this vaccum like 5 months ago. The SRX sucks. I have a Riccar and they fooled me onto buying one of these and I hate it. 3k for a vacuum that doesn't suck very well
Would you like to buy my vacuum?
My D2 has better cleaning ability than the SRX. I’ve tested it several times. New doesn’t mean better.
thanks for the response... I totally agree with your findings as well
People, right?
Have you tried the Kloarik? Let me see if I'm spelling it wrong I'm sure I am but just look this up and it should pop up it's a clear blue shot vac looking water filter system. I would love for you to do a review on it bec it is dirt cheap lol get it... Ha ha but, yeah I am going to buy it anyway bec it's on sale right now for 79. Normally is 140, which I still would pay if it works good. I just don't think it has a HEPA filter like you were talking about. This is why u basically can't use a shot vac as a water filter system. The water would be at the bottom while you have a wet filter on the motor. Then, the air passes threw only catching whatever the filter catches that doesn't fall into the water, right? I have a hart 6 gallon shit vacuum that I paid 30 brand new. This was a stealer deal. The body frame isn't the best but then again I shouldn't have had it above my stomach pushing the dirty air out the window 😂 not doing that again. I pushed the cord to much and it feel over. I'm sad about that and hoping it will get popped out but the good thing is it still works just fine! I sold the Ocean Blue so, I am well aware of the type of motor that is required to filter like it does. I believe they compared it to a small engine? They told me the machine shampooed but I never saw the adapters to allow it to work like one. Does the Rainbow come with an extension that allows spraying water out? I could just poor water down and vacuum it up 😂
79 dollars see, you got to be able to drop it lol
Ocean Blue gave a ten year warranty but said it would last 30. Did it lol
You are so handsome ❤
thanks
