Hearing you talk about vacuum cleaners. I have never had Rainbow cleaner. But have owned in my time Kirby and back then nice and multi versatile in getting the complete package. Then after that died I went with two machines: A: Aerus-Lux Commercial. B: A simple sears vacuum body rolls on the floor and long hose and flat heat had a small bristle on it. The first I use for the main house as all carpeted. The kitchen, bathroom and basement I use the second one for the floors. The reason for the commercial? Heavier duty and can handle the dog hairs with a wiz and believe me German Shepherd can shed! The other comes with a larger cord and can do many rooms with only plugging into one area. Just thought give you another brand. Geno, Portland, ME.
