The Rainbow Vacuum
Okay, so DH and had a vacuum salesperson come to the house a couple of days ago (kinda cheesy, I know) we have tile downstairs and wood upstairs. I was pretty skeptical when he was explaining how there was all of this dust everywhere and all of these things in the air we were breathing...I was kinda like what the hell?! I keep a clean home, either way he swept around once with that thing and I was SHOCKED at the amount of dust I had in my pillows and on my mattress, I mean I change the sheets once a week so I would have never in a million years thought that there would be any particles of ANYTHING in there, anyway I was totally sold on the rainbow but I wasn't sold on the price tag. So I wanted to know if any of you ladies owned a rainbow and if you love it and use it, i've youtube'd videos but I want to hear what everyone out there thinks!
Thanks!!
Re: The Rainbow Vacuum
We inheritated a 35 year old rainbow my mil had owned and got refurbished for us. I HATE IT! It eventually broke and I refuse to figure out how to fix it so it sits broken and I bought a dirt devil. Dh agrees the dirt devil does a better job. As far as the dust trick, they showed me that too and I just don't buy it. I brought my new vacuum in to be serviced and that repair man commented about how awful a dirt devil is and that I must love dusting, so I mentioned having a rainbow and he just stared at me - that's worse, he said.
Long story short, I am sticking with my dirt devil, but I wish you luck.
Sounds almost like the 4hr Kirby sales pitch I got subjected to one afternoon last year after my husband let them in. I have a Dyson animal and the sales guy went around to things I hadn't cleaned in a few days (dust on the top of the ceiling fan because you know that's always my 1st priority) and it looked bad but I wasn't completely convinced and the price was around that too.
DH's family had a Rainbow a long time ago but they got rid of it because I think it was becoming a PITA to get serviced.
I got one from a salesperson too and paid the same. Love the vacuum, but sometimes gasp at what I paid.
