Rainbow Vacuum Reviews

This company is one of the worst I have ever dealt with. They will tell you exactly what you want to hear just to get a sale. Dealing with United Consumer (which is the finance company) is a joke. 90% of the people I’ve talked to who have went through the program and bought the rainbow have all had issues with paying their payment even though it’s suppose to be automatically taken out. It never get taken out and when you call to try and pay it, there is an excuse every time. I was told at my demo before I bought the rainbow that I got 3 months without a payment and 12 months interest free. Come to find out, they are trying to add on $1,400 in interest because they only gave me 6 months interest free instead without my knowledge. Horrible company!!!!

This is the most overpriced vacuum on the market. There are many other similar vacuums at a fraction of the cost. Don't make the same mistake I did. Do your research and you can find a similar vacuum for less than a third of what Rainbow sells their vacuum for. Rainbow's quality is not what they used to be.

I had a representative to come to my house to show product. Nice machine and vacuum. They are fast talkers and make everything looks great. But the end result are so high it's unbelievable. Actually the machine is not worth that kind of money. Just make wise decision when purchasing don't be like me excited and now disappointed of the price.

My husband and I were in the market for an air purifier. We came across Rainbow by coincidence (not referred by anyone), and called our nearest office to set up a demo. The demo was great, we absolutely loved the machine but it's obviously pricey. We ended up going for it and bought it. I will add, immediately after the sales person left my house I went online to read reviews. I was really thrown with all the negative reviews, I started getting cold feet and questioning if we should return it. My husband said to me... You saw what it does. Do YOU like it? If you see the value, it doesn't matter what other people say.

The demonstration was ok. But after a few months the Rainbow cleaned no better than any other vacuum that you can buy at Walmart. Extremely overpriced. Please don't make the mistake I made being locked into a long term contract with PCI on a vacuum that is way overpriced.

Best cleaning system. Had Dyson, Miele before and Rainbow is x10 better. Love it. Plus guys working in the office are amazing. Had issue with one of the attachments and got help right away. Love warranty and service.

I bought this vacuum a year ago, I did 6 shows and sold at every show, but since I didn't or couldn't find a couple they made me pay for the whole thing. I wouldn't do this again if you asked me. My vacuum isn't working well and they are hard to get ahold of. If you voice your opinion they will block you on every media site and they discriminate against single people. Please watch yourself before bringing in these people.

In less than a year mine needed a new motor. We were treated terrible in the process of trying to figure out what was wrong. They came and got it multiple times telling us there was nothing wrong. There was something wrong and it ended up needing a new motor. It is now not working well again and they have had the vacuum over a month and we were told it had a clogged hose. We looked through the hose before we gave it to them. And not sure why you have a vacuum for a month if it just had a clogged hose. We want to warn others against buying a Rainbow. It may be great if you get a good one but ours has been constant trouble. A cheap vacuum from Walmart will pick up lots after the rainbow we have is finished. They will say anything to get you to buy one but if you have trouble after it is a horrible experience.

Buyer beware!!! To this day I have not seen the products I was told I will get for free! I referred two people and within two weeks two other people bought a vacuum and I never got any money back!!! They were able to make leeway with other just to do a demo and they won't make any leeway for me just to complete a demo. Meanwhile TwO people bought a $4000 vacuum cleaner and made me the third fool!

Having 3 kids and a cat the house can collect dirt and grime quickly. I had just had my daughter’s carpet cleaned professionally due to a cat issue - within my first vacuum the amount of dirt was mind blowing. I have now cleaned all my floors. The Bonus - the air purifier - AMAZING! I want one for each floor of my house. It’s so great! I’m very happy and will continue to sing its praise to anyone who will listen.

My Rainbow worked for about a month and a half. It started making a noise and red flashing near power button. I called the people who sold it to us. What a joke. Then went around and around with the maintenance man which they said any problems they would come pick it up, fix it. No. Not true for us. Close to a year later I had to drive almost 2 hours away from where I live for a 20 minute job for them to replace the motor and separator, get it back home. Worked perfectly fine for about 6 months and it has been sitting in the closet ever since.

First I would like to say that I LOVE my SRX Rainbow. Yes it a lot but it gets the job done and you don't have to worry about any extra left behind. Second the program works! You are given papers with rules as to what is allowed and not allowed for the program at the time of purchase. As long as you follow the rules and keep in touch with the office you purchased from, you shouldn't have a problem. And I know not all offices are the same, but I received my rebate through the Batesburg, SC office.

I will Say after reading some of the reviews, I purchased the Rainbow SRX and Love It!!! People can complain or state that this is a pyramid scheme, but honestly in all reality, this is an American Made Product out of Michigan and has been around since 1936... The Company does NOT pay for advertising, hence the reason they like you to know close friends and family so they are not just entering a stranger's home. Think about it... everyone has a Boss, There is an Owner to Every Company, A district Area Rep or Manager, and then Subcontractors or Recruits, so that in no way shape or form shows this to be a pyramid scheme. When you purchase the machine, it comes from a sales rep, it comes with a 10yr manufacture warranty, with all attachments carrying a 4 yr warranty.

I have sat here and read everyone review on sweepers! I have an old house and swore I wouldn’t buy, well I did and it has been the best sweeper I have ever had. I also thought I would be smart and go buy an expensive Bissell and guess what? It lets me down multiple times. Only 2 months old now. Clogs constantly and so I use my Rainbow and guess what never clogs. I don’t have to stop sweeping because I picked up something that was too big and it never lost suction when I even picked up my daughter's toys she keeps laying around. The only way you have to recruit is if you want to!!! Nowhere in paper does it say you have to. You are able to earn it free or just pay for it.

I recently bought one and I used to have a Filterqueen, filters are very expensive, I love the Rainbow. I'd rather change water out and see how gross it is and know I'm actually cleaning vs paying and choking on a dusty filter that's over $100 every 6 months for the purifier and 50 for vacuum. I wouldn't trade my rainbow for anything. I can actually breathe in my house.

OMG. I had a rainbow vacuum and it was so much work just to start it. It smelled really bad after and so nasty to clean mud! I upgraded to a new Kirby Avalir 2 and only have to change the bag once a year! Well worth the price!

I bought a Rainbow vacuum 2 years ago. Today was the day I went and bought a cheap vacuum from Walmart, because the rainbow vacuum wasn't working anymore. You have to constantly do maintenance on this vacuum, it stinks and I used to love vacuuming. I'm still making payments on it, I'm only halfway done! And the way that they convince you to buy one is genius. It's my fault for even letting this company in my house, through a friend. But I learned a lesson about pyramid companies, they are scams. This vacuum is a waste of money and time. And after using it for 2 years the Bissell I just bought had picked up so much stuff out of my carpet, it was actually shocking.

Buying this vacuum was a huge mistake!! 1. It's way too heavy 2. It's too bulky and 3. Way too expensive. If you buy it you don't get the additional figures unless you recruit customers for them!! Even though you're paying $4000 for it. This is for sure my biggest mistake ever.

Rainbow sales people will do /say anything to get you to buy one, But do not fall for the actual vacuum/air purifier/humidifier/scent booster machine. It’s a pyramid scheme. One person ”buys” it. They have to get others to buy it. They have to get others to buy it. So forth and so on. Then you have to show it to 12 different households. Out of those 12 households, there has to be 2 sales. But they have to be A-line credit. They can’t be single. Even if they do have A-1 credit if they say they can’t afford a $4000 vacuum cleaner your demo doesn’t qualify. They don’t even have to run their credit. They’ll just disqualify your demo. There’s a bunch of other shady practices they use to disqualify your demos but they’ll only tell you they don’t qualify when it’s too late.

This vacuum is a lot of work. It’s big and bulky and I’m constantly having to drag it around the house. The air purifier function is nice but after a while it just sucks up energy and takes up space. Every time I vacuum I have to fill and dump the water out otherwise if left in there it obviously becomes pungent. It’s quite disgusting actually especially with pet hair mixed in. They told us we could dump the water down the toilet but with pet hair it wasn’t long before it started to have an effect on our plumbing, so now we have to take it outside to dump.

I have my Rainbow cleaning system for more than a month now and I am very impressed on the machine. Our allergies have improved well. The agents who showed us this machine are very knowledgeable about their product. They are very nice. The office staff are very polite and always available to answer our questions. I am overall very happy with everything. On 4/17/23, I completed all of my demos and I am so happy that I finally got my money back! I was also able to get all the extra attachments. I would like to thank all the wonderful staff for all of help.

When I got my Rainbow we had a SIGNED and agreed upon contract. Rexair has not held East TN Distributors accountable for their NON-COMPLIANCE and I’m fixing to hire a lawyer since I have ALL of the emails and the contract with all the proof of what I’m owed. It’s ridiculous that anyone would give such a price for something like this, but when you do a program to get one free and end up selling 5 more for the company and get nothing, it’s pretty pathetic. Hold them accountable REXAIR. I have the paperwork if ya want to take a look at it.

Luckily I realized I needed to cancel my contract within 3 days of the date it was signed. However what bothered me the most which ended up being why I canceled the contract was how discriminative the company was towards single people. They tell you in order to finance the vacuum and get it free you must do 12 demos and sell 2. In order to get credit for the demos it must be a couple? If they're single and decide to buy it counts but if they don't buy the demo it doesn't count? I recently am engaged but most of my life decided to be single and focus on my career.

It's too heavy and you need to keep carrying it to reach the whole house as hose is too short. It stop working and need figure it out why. Not user friendly and it's too expensive. One of my regret buy.

Never works, heavy and breaks constantly. Will never buy from this company again. The button doesn’t work so I can’t turn on the vacuum, the carpet attachment is crooked so it can be put on and storage sucks.

With heavy regret, I ended up purchasing a Rainbow srx vacuum about 1 year ago. The salesperson was very good at their job, by that I mean making it almost seem as if I couldn't live without it. I'm normally able to easily say no, but her tactics overtook my reasoning. I ended up purchasing the vacuum. About a month went by and I realized that I had only used it once as a vacuum and that it really wasn't anything special at all. It cleaned the carpets and floor just the same as every single other vacuum I've ever used. She made it seem like it was easy to clean by just dumping the dirty water out, well it's more than that.

First I will say this has nothing to do with the performance of this machine. It is amazing. I would recommend it to anyone that can afford it; but the sales rep is the issue in this case. He lead us to believe that we would have no issue in getting others to sign up for a demo so that we could get our machine for free. Everyone we asked declined a demo, (therefore we are stuck with a $5,000 vacuum cleaner.) Not only did the sales rep say that, he also said that we would be getting a car attachment and carpet deep cleaner and he was going to replace our deodorizer with a new one and bring a new one on top of that to our business. None of this happened and he never showed back up, even after the calls and texts stating he was just busy and gave me a date we would see him again. This was a pure disappointment. He was a great salesman and sold us a bunch of lies.

I recently purchased the Rainbow and the same day the Rainbow stopped working. I reached out to Colby our salesman out of the Longview Texas office who stated that I would get a new unit and I have not received anything. I received a call from a lady who I thought was coming out today February 22, 2023 to bring my new unit, which was a no show. She called and asked if I would like to reschedule. I said, "No. I will just bring it in for return after the no show and it hasn’t worked since the day I purchased it." I explained to her, "I waited all day for someone to come and pickup my unit and no one showed." She said, "No it was for you to purchase a new unit," I explained, "Why would I do that when I already have the unit."

I had an awful experience with Rainbow Systems at Burnaby, BC Canada. This is a real story. I don’t want others go through the same experience. This is the reason why I am writing this. In 2022 a friend of mine referred me, and Rainbow contacted me to give me an air purifier for free. They came over and ended up doing a demo of a vacuum cleaner which according to them was about $4,000.00 This was beyond expensive compared to a similar product in the market. They offered the vacuum for free if I just referred friends on Facebook, and had me to sign a contract saying that I was not being charged, that I had to do it in that way to leave me the vacuum. "Nothing to worry about it" they said.

My friend referred me and a salesperson came to my house. Carl was his name. He was really aggressive as a salesman and doesn't give you time to think and push you to buy the vacuum cleaner. This vacuum isn't worth $4,000, because that's what you're going to pay. If you take out financing, after 36 months it will cost you $5,600. It's crazy. It is EXTREMELY loud and heavy. Customer service is DISGUSTING when the sale is final. Don't be fooled and save your money. You won't get a discount or giveaway product if you introduce 12 people to them and 2 people buy. IT'S A LIE! RUN!

The vacuum works well. But it's inconvenient to drag this big thing around and up steps. You end up paying around $4,000 for this. By the time you decide you don't like it you can't sell it back to them or get out of the contract. You can buy a vacuum almost identical to this for around $900. Don't get sucked into their sales web. Before you know it you'll be signing a contract that you can't get out of. Not worth the money you pay for it,!!!

Updated on 01/27/2023: Update to my review on January 22, 2023. I was able to get out of this contract, yes contract within the 3-day period. When I gave my signature, I thought it was for a credit card receipt, but it was a contract I was signing and the representative didn't disclose that information. So I reviewed the paperwork in my email and that is when I saw there was a contract I signed and had 3 days to cancel the transaction. The day I reviewed this was the 3rd day and I quickly signed the cancellation notice, emailed the owner of the company, and took the vacuum cleaner and attachments back to the corporate office to get my credit card transaction reversed. I also sent the cancellation notice via certified mail.

I can't believe the negative reviews. This is one more proof not to rely on the reviews. It's just ridiculous that people base their reviews of the product on the customer service or some perks they were promised. Who cares about it? I have this vacuum from 1993, this is my second one. Nothing was wrong with the first one, I just exchange it for a newer model. Can someone tell me about any other vacuum that works for decades without any serious brakes? I needed "customer service" ONCE in all these years. The belt in the carpet cleaner attachment broke after 15 years (ha-ha). I research where is the Rainbow service office located, called, made an appointment, dropped it off, and picked it up when it was done. What is a big deal? People are making big deal out of everything.

There is no Actual customer service with this company. It's okay for someone to drive to Your house to sell it to you but not to service it. You drive wherever the nearest one is, for me an hour+. Not to mention, these little local "retailers" have to pay for the repairs themselves-meaning they are LESS LIKELY TO HELP YOU. Tired of the run around with this vacuum. You're better off getting the same exact thing for 1/3 the price off of Amazon or somewhere else. At least you might have real customer service and a Real company to help with repairs, if you need them later down the road. If you're thinking about getting one, or still in your 30-day trial, RUN AWAY WHILE YOU CAN. COMPLETE WASTE OF $3000+. COMPLETE.

We did not lose money, we lost time. We were told we won an air purifier from a drawing at the county fair back in Sept 2022. They said they would deliver it because their sales man was going to be in the area anyway. Then we get told he has to give us a short presentation on their product first. So we listen to his spiel for 2 hours trying to talk us into buying a huge vacuum we didn't need and couldn't afford. After he's done he tells us, "Oh the shipment was supposed to come in today and must have been running late." "We'll ship one to you." That NEVER happened!!!

I thought this was a good way to get me a vacuum, but oh boy was I wrong, I feel the dealer was pushy, and didn't explain things to me, nor did I get a full demo, in the end, had every reason to make none of my demos qualified, so I'm stuck paying for a vacuum, that if I had knew what I know, wouldn't do it, the dealer was no help. Never could get anyone to answer me back, upset customer.

Beware. SCAM. We had Emily as our rep and she was great but after we signed and got machine no one calls you when it breaks. The book and ride is a scam. You won't see a penny. They send Yvette who is ** to your home and they lie so you won't qualify for the shows you do. Please don't buy this. Not worth it. I have money to pay it off and won't let anyone in My families' homes. Run fast. Beware. Scam

My daughter had purchased this vacuum, with the "ride along" program. They did not get any discounts as they were promised. The saleslady thinks it's funny and does not reply to them. They are trying to pay out what they owe and are being told they still need to pay interest... BS!!! I know of 4 different people who are all being treated the same way from this company. I'm glad I didn't get suckered in!! HORRIBLE customer service!! I definitely will not be recommending this company to ANYONE!!

Salesman tells me to sell RV vacuum for him & won't charge me for mine. I sell 2 vacuum for him & never heard from him again. Company charged me full price for vac & allows salesman to steal from customers.

It cleans perfectly the way I want. It also help my son not to get some allergy from dust. It is easy to use and manage to clean the house accurately. The complete set from wood to carpet also is a big help. The smell is good, like when you are cleaning, you cannot smell the dust.

We purchased Rainbow vac purifying system about a yr ago ...It did the job for about a month then the light went out on sweeper head ...Called. No response. Several other things have went wrong ..I called rainbow direct and they pretty much told me I'm stuck with it ...I don't mind paying on something that works and stays working ....The salesman when sold it to me said, "I have to take your old vac." I said, "No. You're not in case I need it ...Why you want my old vac for," was my question. Said I'll never need another one. Well that's a bold face lie. I have bought the shark vacuum. Makes rainbow look sick. Not sure if I'm gonna have to pay forever in this so it doesn't God on credit report but disputing your credit report will probably work since so many people aren't satisfied with the product ...I don't know how these guys or gals who sell these sleep at night. Oh that's right they believe it really works shoes their IQ. They must not own one ..DO NOT BUY.

The Rainbow Vacuum is like a polished ** wrapped in a nice bow and presented to you while you sit on your couch. The representatives who present it will probably lie about the product to sell you on it. The representative who visited me said the system only used water to clean the air, yet the system relies on a HEPA filter after the water process that gets dirty and needs to be replaced regularly for the vacuum to maintain good working order. The vacuum starts off great but with normal usage you will see a great reduction in cleaning ability within the first few months of owning the product. Overall the system does what they say it does but only at a high efficiency for a short period of time, if you purchase this product you will be left high and dry with an overpriced paper weight.

I got carried away with the referral program where you invite 15 families with at least 2 sales to qualify for $1650 credit. Should you fail to meet this requirement, you end up paying an interest rate of 24.9% per annum to finance it. This is outrageous, at the end of the day, you are stuck with paying almost $6,000 for a vacuum cleaner!!

08.27.22 Purchase Rainbow SRX Vacuum - with the free rainmaker for watching the demo. Somehow if you pick the low payment at $121.61 and pay the down payment of $195. doesn't equal $3,185. Plus, the reprehensive take your old vacuum, why? For what reason. I find the sound of the air purifier to be annoying on low setting. Ask for all Paperwork up front. Still waiting for the company to email paperwork. Buyer Beware.

I was offered a program that would make the vacuum free. I was told that every person who enters this program gets the vacuum free. I was also told that in the rare event that I didn't complete the program that the payments would be interest free and 100% of your payment comes off the total. I was told that they all work together to help you complete the program and that they will keep us up to date constantly on our progress. None of which happened.

I entered to win a free air purifier online. I got a call from someone telling me that I had won the air purifier and what day would I be available for them to come to my home and that the only thing that they would need from me is for me to watch a demonstration of the big brother to the product which turned out to be a Rainbow Vacuum cleaner and that I was not required to purchase anything just to give a good review.

I have had my Rainbow cleaning system for a year now. I love it! I wish I had known about it sooner. Both my boys have allergies and my oldest has asthma. Since using the machine he no longer needs puffers. Anytime they start sneezing they know that either their mattress needs to be cleaned or the machine needs to run on high for 30 minutes. They thank me all the time for getting the rainbow. My husband is a truck driver and was always complaining about a stuffy nose and headaches. We cleaned his mattress. Boy was it dirty we dumped the water 3 times. He has not had issues since. And he also knows to vacuum the mattress when he starts getting stuffy. This machine has cut my cleaning time in half.

01.26.22 Purchase Rainbow SRX Vacuum - had issue with major heavy fiber type dust throughout my house after 2nd time using this vac. Contact Sale Rep (27 years in the business) multiple time with responses - "Never seen this before, don't know what to tell you, don't have answers for you". Texted, email and called sales rep multiple time - he made me feel like I was crazy that this vac is the best on the market. Took me 4 months to finally ask for a refund. Long story short - Sales Rep or his boss would not take vac back. Here's the kicker - there is suppose to be a 30 day return policy if buyer is unhappy for any reason **. I was never told this information! I had issues first time and every time using this vacuum... I would have definitely returned this $3,000 Rainbow... But was never given that opportunity. Buyers beware - do not buy this Rainbow Vac.

I would not finance a Rainbow machine or sign up for their program. You’ll be given the wrong information right off the bat and after you sign with them and your 3-day return is up, they’ll tell you the right information which makes it impossible to do the program and you’ll be stuck financing forever. They also tell you the wrong price of the machine. The people who work there suck and lies all the time. They make empty promises and never answer their phones. I WOULD NOT trust them. Unfortunately, I am not the only one that got stuck. A couple of my friends did as well. Horrible. Horrible. Horrible. It starts off with someone trying to offer you a free purifier (which is pictured below) if you sit through a show of them bugging you about financing their “big brother” machine or doing the program with them. The big brother is also pictured below.

I have had my Rainbow for about 10 years and I love it! I came to the website just to see what people are saying about it, and was very surprised from all the negative comments. This vacuum cleans extremely well and I have had zero issues with it. However, if you do not like to clean after cleaning, this may not be the product for you.

I love my Rainbow. It has realy made a huge difference in our air quality. We have the sanitizer and eucalyptus that we use when our household gets sick. The sanitizer is good for when we get guests over. Honestly my home is so much more cleaner. My water basin is clear water nowadays but when I first started cleaning the water was black and disgusting. I would urge anyone to at least sit through the srx showing and see what it's about. Our dealer did a fantastic job.

I live in Las Vegas NV, I am a business owner and for the same reason I am very particular in if I am going to write a review or not. Especially if it’s a bad one (which I usually never do). One of my co-workers asked me if she can do a presentation of 1hr in my house, I agree and made it happen. Jing ** another lady (I think it was his wife), and Teresa my co-worker came to my house and did a presentation of a Rainbow Vacuum. They all presented the vacuum as amazing, etc. presentation was sooo long I was starving. They were literally pushing and trying to convince me to buy it, as any other salesperson.

This is my 3rd Rainbow. 1st one bought in 1992, was sold used to a family member that used it for at least 20 years when we bought a newer one in 1998. That one was sold to a different family member that still uses it to this very day when we purchased our 3rd cleaner in 2006. We are still using it today. Any reviews that state a Rainbow does not clean are from people who unfortunately do not know how to use it.... period. It cleans and then you remove the dirt outside of your home forever. We recently removed carpets from our main room in the house that had been there since 2007... there was virtually no dirt under the carpet at all. This is unheard of with dust blowing units.

This sweeper is the worst sweeper I have ever purchased. Everything you sweep blows out the back of the power nozzle. You never really get anything swept. I really wish I could send it back and get my money Back. WORST PURCHASE EVER.

This was was the worst buying experience ever. This product is a rip off. If I would of known to cancel within 3 days, I would of. I had paid for over a year and a half, and then paid more for pay off. It's all junk!

This vacuum was the worst investment we have ever made. The warranty is a joke. You pay $4000 and it covers nothing. Our vacuum head doesn't work and they won't replace anything. Please save yourself.

Would give 0 stars. This is the worst vacuum ever. My $100 vacuum works better than this. It gets clogged all the time and I’ve only used it a few times and it doesn’t suck anything now. Seller also lied to me about multiple things.

December, 2021. Soooo. What's my story about the Rainbow? They are right up there with all the top sales statistics...”Beware.” Yes, they want to make the score! They draw you in with the call, “You are the winner of the free mini air cleaner, when can we drop it off to you?" Now the drop-off with the experienced salesperson trying their best to draw you in to make that sale. Promises galore of what this machine can and will do for you. O you take the plunge and grab the bait… Two days later while looking at this $3000.00 purchase on your floor and still haven't even dabbled with you make the decision to return it, then the phone call to tell them and have it picked up. Now the experience with a very nice salesperson at your house comes to an end and the true vulture shows its true colors and behavior.

Never ever buy this product. I regret to buy one. It's super very expensive/overprice, the suction is not that good, very bulky and heavy especially its Power Nozzle, very troublesome in maintenance. Its Rainjet is very easy to break and it's not covered under warranty. Very disappointed. :(

Don’t buy this. It’s overpriced, takes up a lot of room, too many gadgets you’ll never use, bumps the wall, and the movement hurts your back. The grout scrubber doesn’t work. It’s all plastic & not environmentally safe.

Terrible product, the vacuum bangs into everything and doesn’t pick up hair and other things that well like it says. My Shark does a better job. Do not fall for this product, there are a lot better brands out there. They scam you into thinking it’s a great thing but it’s not. Beware of the guy that says he’s a preacher. It increases your electric by a lot, they don’t have reports only what they assume. Be smart people and stay away.

In seeing what a Rainbow SRX Air purifier has done for our home not enough words to explain.

Trying to return it and they won’t let me. I have been calling them for months now and no one would get back to me. Well today I find the head office number and they tell me I can’t return it because it’s over the 10 days. I was not made aware that there is only 10 days to return it and being told I should of read the paper. Well thinking a friend is the one who did the demo they would of told me about it. He filled out the paperwork and made my boyfriend a co-signer when he didn’t want to be and we felt forced into buying it because he wouldn’t leave us alone about it when he said no and made it seem like it would easy to sell the vacuum.

I purchased this vacuum a few months ago. I got sucked into the whole presentation and liked what I saw. Now that I've used it on my floors I am completely dissatisfied. I have to vacuum the hardwood floors 3 times to get everything up. For the price I paid, it should be done on the first pass. I also don't think I should have to troubleshoot and self repair something that I've only used 4-5 times. I have tried repeatedly to return this monstrosity and was told that it's not going to happen. I called the "customer service" number and it's for the manufacturer. They don't help the consumer. Do not buy this product. Their sales people are shady as are their sales tactics.

Rainbow is amazing. The only downfall is the price. It cleans awesome and the filth in the water is shocking.. They do such a great job. If you have children and or animals they are a must. You will never regret buying one. They last forever.

My mom has had this vacuum for 25 years. Every now and then needs a good cleaning but other than that it’s an amazing product. Still does an amazing job cleaning the air in whatever room you vacuum in. It instantly feels fresh and cleansed.

Rainbow Vacuum is the best on the Market. It picks up dust and is easy to use. I have purchased 2 in the last 20 years, they last a very long time. A nurse suggested to purchase one and I did and I am very happy with my decision.

I has a demo done and when Shawn showed me all the mess my vacuum cleaner did not pick up I was grossed out!! I bought it and absolutely love it!! For one, I have a bad back and the vacuum is easy to use with no back strain! Secondly, the purifier on the vacuum and the small one (that was a gift!) have helped me tremendously in the few days I have had it. I have COPD and a husband that has sleep apnea... I am having deeper sleep and less use of inhalers and he is snoring less and not tossing and turning as much! Shawn is a great rep and very thorough on how everything works and its benefits! She has so much energy and love of the product it makes you excited and want to buy it!!! This thing is worth every penny I will spend!! Thank you Shawn!!!

My husband and I purchased the newest model of Rainbow vacuum after buying our first home in 2021. I was THRILLED with it the first few days, but quickly realized I still had to use my mop and carpet shampooer, unless I earned or purchased the extra accessories to make my Rainbow do so. It is very convenient for vacuuming hardwood floors, and makes my house smell great, we can tell a difference in the air.

This vacuum works well, but... they sell fragrance because it smells so terrible. It's awful. The pricing is not consistent. If your credit score is low you will pay more. Do yourself a huge favor. Buy a Dyson and a Roomba.

First of all, I am completely satisfied with the actual product. Having said that, the program offered to "earn" your Rainbow for "free" is a fraud. I did receive my $3000 check last evening after waiting 8 weeks for completing my obligations for the program. I was also told to sign a 1099 for the check, and told that the check falls under "lottery" taxes. This places it at a higher tax rate that will substantially diminish the actual $3000 I "earned" back.

Breathe better and sleeping better within one night. I noticed a change in air quality! It is fantastic! Especially with myself having asthma and having a dog in the home. I am beyond glad to have ventured out to see what the Rainbow can do! Better health!

The demonstration shown was amazing. We had no intention of buying the product but was convinced once shown. We have enjoyed the vacuum so far and it does a much better job than other brands. Air quality in the home has definitely improved.

First off, I’m not one to write bad reviews. At all. I usually only ever give 5 stars unless the situation really warrants less. This...this warrants much less than even the 1 star I have to give. This vacuum was fantastic the first month or two we owned it. Then things went downhill. Our horse hair bristle brush BROKE. We now have it tied together with rubber bands just so we can vacuum our hardwood. The hinges stopped working where the water bowl goes so you better hope you’re good at multitasking so you can get the water bucket in place while also holding up the heavy top. Several other broken pieces that we are now being told we have to pay for, because that’s not covered under warranty.

I hosted a demo of the vacuum system for a friend and agreed to do their 12 demos 2 sales program. First of all, let me start by saying my rep is very nice, but she is located 3 hours away from me. This makes scheduling demos hard as she wants me to spend my ENTIRE weekend with her at people's houses demoing the product. Second, to 'qualify' as a true demo towards your 12, you have to only contact couples who own their homes. Single homeowners, or renters won't qualify if they do not purchase the product.

The vacuum is absolutely wonderful! But unfortunately the customer service is about the worst I have ever seen! If you purchase one of these vacuums I truly hope you do not need anything repaired or replaced. I hope you do not have any questions and I hope you do not need to pick anything up from any of the offices. You will have to google the phone number to the main office in Michigan to get anything accomplished and they will still have to call you back later. To save you some time their number is **.

I purchased a new Rainbow. Paid cash. Salesman took my other rainbow to replace hose and give me an new rain jet. Promised to return it before Christmas. Well it's almost Feb and no vacuum and salesman is nowhere to be found. Number disconnected. He stole my vacuum!!

During our demo we were told we could get our Rainbow free by doing this program host 12 demos/sale 2 vacuums. We sold 4 out of 12. Now we are being told 2 sales have to be A line credit. Only 1 sale was. Don't do it, scam.

They go to people's houses and say that people are going to have the vacuum for free if they call someone else, but they ask you not to say exactly what it is about. Dont let them in your home or you will be in big trouble.

If I could give this product negative points, I would. As a vacuum it is mediocre at best and as far as the other claims go, they're lies. Save your $3000 and spend it on something you can rely upon. I'll admit I was taken in by the flashy show Peter put on for me when he came to the house. I should have paid better attention and waited to make a decision, but he just wouldn't leave and he offered to take $500 off the $3000 ticket price for this thing.

I purchased this unit March 25, 2020 from the representative, Emily ** here in Lithonia, Ga. Three months later, received a notice of recall that it could start a fire. The unit was picked up and "fixed" according to them and returned. A few weeks later, saw smoke coming from the plug the unit was plugged into. Called the company and told them to pick it up, I didn't want it anymore and wanted my money back. I have caught hell, they refused to take it back, brought me a new one instead thinking I'm gonna plug it back in for use, NOT IN MY HOUSE!!!

The vacuum cleaner is unique and pretty well made, but it’s not worth $3500. And if you think you can simply do the program and get it free, you better be ready to just buy the damn thing. The program was sold to us by the Rainbow rep in a way that made it seem like we were guaranteed to win if we just put in the work to complete the program. “I have never seen anyone do the program and not get all of their shows done.” - the rep said. BTW she is no longer with the company.

I bought my Rainbow in 1986 not long after my first husband and I built our house. Both of us thought it was absolutely awesome. My husband even wanted to sell them and he did that for a while. I have a different husband now, but the same house and the same Rainbow. I think my husband had to have something on it repaired several years ago, but that is all that's ever been required. It still runs today like it did when it was new. I know there have been a lot of improvements made since 1986, but I can't justify buying another one when this still performs like it's new. Anything that performs that well and that long is top quality in my book. The distributor in my town provided great service when we had the one repair and when we bought new brush attachments. I would give this company and vacuum 10 stars if I could!

So my grandma had a Rainbow in the mid 1980s. She loved it and years later I moved to another state and I remembered her Rainbow when I was looking for a vacuum for my new house. I called Rainbow and bought one. I didn't even want them demo. I bought brand new a gold 2 speed in summer 2006. I never let anyone use it but me. I have 2 cats. I've never had problems with clogs. I'm reading through the reveiws about clogs. I suppose that could happens with an unusually large amount of hair. Anyway, I've used my machine a lot over the years, even to clean the garage floor with the squeegee....

We have owned the Rainbow since April 2020 and my mom has not been to the ER not once since we got it. If you knew my mom you would know how amazing that is and how it has changed her life for the better. This machine is worth every penny!!!! #ilovemyrainbow

I have a cleaning service so I have seen and used many, many vacuums over the years and spent much money doing so. I have never had anything that cleans as thoroughly as the Rainbow. It’s way more than a vacuum. The fact that it is also a house purifier, capable of purifying the air of 3,000 sq ft in 30 minutes is incredible. It has helped my children with their allergies by keeping the air clean. I have unclogged drains with it as well. The carpet shampooer and the mop and brush for scrubbing floors is a time saver and it really works.

This is the worst purchase my husband and I have ever made. It gets clogged every time I use it. I have one dog and 2 cats. I have to fully take the head of the vacuum apart to unclog it. Get half way through my living room then have to unclog it. This wasn't worth the $2300 we paid for. After we had purchased this I tried to contact my salesman for attachments. Never heard back from him. EVER! I wouldn't recommend buying this product. Customer service is absolutely terrible along with the product. Plus they won't leave your house until you say yes to purchasing it.

I see some people dislike their rainbow vacuums, but my experience using and owning a rainbow is a positive one and I've owned 2 over the past 40 years. No bags to buy, works great on carpet and on flat bare floors, and of course you can vacuum up water with them. Keeping the water basin clean after each use makes a very big difference in keeping the motor fresh and clean, which allows the air going into the room fresh and clean. You can add a scent to the water like a drop of spearmint oil and it makes the air smell even nicer. I have not once had any failures with a rainbow, they are well made, although I do not own one of their newest models, but family members do and they have had no problems at all, I love my Rainbow!

I purchased November 2019, here in Greece. February 2020 arrived. Serius problems.

A friend sent me a simple form to fill out and a picture of a Rainbow. Says it's free, file the form and I did. I got a call later and he said I'm not qualified. Later another person called to say the same but, "You are considered". He showed up with big box and the rainbow I saw in the picture and told me he is going to demonstrate, demo turned out to be the big machine in the box. Then turned to become a vacuum. At the end destroyed my Dormeo mattress which is just equivalent to the big machine. He was very much concerned about the machine not my property destroyed.

Have had my Rainbow for a yr, as I purchased for having a whole lot of carpet. Since then, I have moved to 2 rooms of carpet. Anyway, the power nozzle stopped working and when I called to see if it's covered, was told that I will have to drive an hour out of my way to find out. I am spending $4k on this and nobody is willing to come to me, waste of money and stuck! Would be different if they could send a tech out to look. It's like with my washer/dryer that I pay, if I have problem, someone comes out!

I’ll make this short and to the point. Anyone that has purchased a Rainbow knows how the demonstration go. My main purpose of getting this machine was because I have pets and I made that very clear, several times during the visit. My salesman was a guy named Josh, from the Rainbow system business in Columbus Ga. I had several issues with him during this whole ordeal, but he didn’t care because he had done made the sell. So our first time using the vacuum through out the entire house was a nightmare, not only was it heavy, but continued to get clogged up over and over. So you have to stop, turn it off, take the pieces off, clean all around the areas and hope you have gotten it all, or you have to do it again.

A friend of mine asked if my husband and I would participate in a Rainbow Vacuum demonstration. We agreed. The demonstration went fine. We agreed to purchase a Rainbow Vacuum on the 12 showing and 2 purchases. We went through The Rainbow Financial to finance the vacuum. We were rushed through the whole process. When I would ask what the total was. The rep would dance around my question. Later after everything settled down I got out what paper work was left. As I was looking over the contract, barely able to make out the numbers. I make out the total of $ 4895.00. I look at my husband, I asked him if he knew how much he was paying for the vacuum if we could not pull off the 12 shoes and 2 sales.

If you have hardwood floors or tile floors this system is not good for them. You have to vacuum the floors repeatedly because the vacuum blows the particles around. They also stated the system had an automatic shutoff but it does not. The vacuum runs with no water in it so you have to constantly watch it so it does not run on empty. For the amount of money you spend that's the least it could do.

I purchased system a month ago. I rate my sales person as a 5 star. She gave a thorough demonstration of the system and what it could do, did not try to pressure me into enrolling in the program to earn a free system when I declined, did not pressure me to purchase the night of the demonstration, returned my texts promptly while I negotiated my contract terms. The SYSTEM is amazing. I have used every tool that has come with it and my 60 year old house is clean and fresh. While it is bulky and not for someone only interested in hitting the high spots, if you want one machine that can truly do it all this one is it. It works on water and HEPA filtration, so the water tank has to be cleaned out after each use, and reset with fresh sanitizer and fragrance (optional).

I have had Rainbow vacuums since 1979. I currently have the E2 type 12 Black and it better than the last E series that I have had since 1999. I am on my 3rd one and it is the best vacuum I have ever used. I have had pets and it is the only choice for a vacuum if you have them. It is costly but worth the money. The water filter is the best as it keeps the exhaust exceptionally clean and does not disperse it back into the air. If you have allergies this is the only machine in my opinion.

Moved to a new home. Old last home had central vac. We purchased our Rainbow vacuum close to 32 years ago for our first home and recently resurrected it. Powerful, effective, versatile. Uses a water tank. Amazing how much this vacuum picks up. With 2 dogs easily takes care of their hair as well. Attachments are easy to use.

I had a Dyson and thought that was a very good vacuum. However, once I tried the Rainbow, I was extremely happy with it and bought it immediately. It cleans so much better than my Dyson or any other vacuum I have. There is clean and then there is C L E A N!

Using the Rainbow with everything going through a water filter has really helped the dust and my allergies. Don't have to worry about dust from the vacuum being blown everywhere. It has been a plus to own.

I've had my Rainbow for 15 years and it still works great! No bags to buy--ever! I love how much dirt, sand and hair it gets out of my home. My favorite thing has to be the fact that it uses water as a filter, so the dust that get vacuumed up never goes back into my home.

I have used and owned MANY vacuums in my 50 years of life. We received the in-home demonstration for the Rainbow with no intention of buying, but planning to enjoy the free room air purifier. The cleaning this machine offers is far SUPERIOR to anything I have ever seen or used! The unit doesn't utilize a bag to trap the dirt, but water, and I've never seen a clean like it. An added bonus in that it freshens the air in your home as it cleans. The retail price is high, nearly $3000.00, but they offer incentives and discounts. There is a 15-year warranty standard on the machine, but I personally know people that have had their vacuum for over 25 years and it still works as well as the day they bought it! When it comes to vacuums it is best to choose quality of quantity, so choose Rainbow!

Rainbow Vacuums do a great job and great for people with asthma. Vacuum can also be used for air purifier. Vacuum also pulls carpet fibers up when cleaning leaving a soft carpet to walk on. Highly recommended.

I’ve been a Rainbow vacuum owner and promoter since 1992. I bought a used one for $300. Had problems with fleas & dust before that purchase and never again. I ended up buying a new one about 5-years because I broke a piece of the old one. My family & friends who have other popular brands borrow my Rainbow for a “thorough” cleaning. Pricey but worth it. Some friends are in their 5+ vacuum purchases. I’m on 2.

I have used this vacuum for over 20 years. I never have to buy bags or filters. The carpet beater attachment went out about 10 years ago and was fixed by a repair service. Still working today with 3 teens!

When my wife empties the container after one room, it is disgusting to see what we breathe daily into our lungs. This is a perfect vacuum cleaner with receiving clean air after vacuuming. With the Covid-19 virus; I am very comfortable knowing this vacuum is cleaning the floor and carpet thoroughly.

Updated on 04/27/2020: If you look through the reviews, I left one earlier in the month of April (2020) and how it ended with them texting me, during this COVID crisis trying to again, even though I don't qualify, sell me a $3000 vacuum. Well today, I get another text asking if I want another free Rainbow RainMate with no demo for simply posting them on social media? Why would I want to advertise for people that are this shady. And I had to wait almost 3 weeks for my first rainmate. I was also told it has an auto turn off when there is no water left. Mine keeps on going which can't be safe. The thing is also super loud with only one speed. You cannot watch tv without cranking the volume when that thing is going. This company is absolutely ridiculous. STAY AWAY FROM THEM AT ALL COST.

I have always like the Rainbow products. Until I purchased 1 myself. I hate this vacuum. I handle is not sturdy. It gets stopped up. It add a lot more work to the job. I would much rather use my Shark. It isn't any different than my old vacuum. Except it makes for a lot more work. I regret buying this vacuum. And would love to be able to return it!

I bought the vacuum 30 days ago and we have 6 cats who create a big mess. When the guy came, James ** he did the demo in the living room. I never thought to do it in the kitchen area where the litter box was. The next day I started vacuuming and it did great everywhere but the kitchen. I did different settings, attachments, looked for clogs, nothing. I contacted to office, no one would call me back, finally I called another number and they said it was probably clogged, I stated they were crazy. That I checked it inside and out and every attachment, that I wanted a refund and if I had to pay a fee I would. I was told no!!! The vacuum is not capable of picking up heavy stuff like litter on an everyday basis, it's too harsh for it, it's going to break. This company is the worse ever, please do your homework before buying.

I have tried to schedule a demo 3 times over a year. Finally, someone there said I do not qualify. Why is that? Because I'm single!?!? Can this company be any more discriminate than this? A single person cleans their home, whether they own or rent, or maybe live somewhere for free. A single person makes good money, possibly even more than some couple's combined income. A single person is responsible and can make decisions on their own. The list goes on. The Rainbow Company should be made to stop this practice, as they claim to strictly abide by a code of ethics. Huh? Something smells fishy and it might be their vacuum cleaners & supplies.

The vacuum I absolutely love. It cleans well and smells great. The price is way too pricey at nearly 5000. Now I did the demo and for a mom of 6 I knew I needed this but I wish I would have had the true facts. I was told if I set bookings before midnight I would win prizes, I did that and still havent won anything. They tell me I had to book before the demonstration lady left (that's not what I was told). Next I was told show 6 you get half off show 12 and sale 2 it's paid for only to find out you still have to sale 2 no matter what and plus the qualifications are super hard to meet.

I bought this from a sales man about a year ago. He was nice and the demo was just fine, nothing wrong with it as long as you know what you're getting yourself into. It seemed to work pretty well the first 5 months or so. Just last night I was vacuuming my upstairs and the stairs, my husband came home and said it was SO dusty has he walked inside from the FRONT door and as he was coming upstairs it go worse. This is not the first time this happened. Even as I clean my small carpet downstairs with the carpet attachment, dusty flies up everywhere. I have an old original Craftsman house where rooms are distinct rooms and so having a good vacuum to get dust out is a must. Unfortunately when the sales man came he convinced me to give him my Dyson, and I desperately wish I still had my Dyson vacuum. Maybe I got a faulty one? But right now for me it definitely was not worth the money.

I was outside and a man stopped to chat about an air purifier and ask if I'd like to put my name in to win one. What he didn't tell me is that he was a door to door salesman peddling the Rainbow Vacuum systems nor did he tell me everyone who had a demonstration got an mini air purifier free. It was downhill from there. We made an appointment for a week later and he showed up.

The vacuum claims to throw clean air out with no odor. LIE! The vacuum collects dust and hair in the tubes, and hose. If you pass thru anything wet or damp and move to dry area, The tube and hose becomes encased in hard clay like debris. Vacuum clogged daily, many times. Loses suction after about 4 months becomes clogged. Every ten mins I unclogged tubes. The smell of mold or vacuum smell from the tubing blows out no matter of the water filter. Ask them to demonstrate on a used product. I’ve had it 6 months and had 3 connections break. Horrible scam. Buy regular vacuum. Save money and credit. Scam. DEMONSTRATORS ARE SCAMMING YOU AND POOR PEOPLE INTO OBTAINING CREDIT THEY WOULD NORMALLY NOT GET TO GET $4000 over 36 months. Scam!!!! They Refused to take it back! And attack your credit.

I put my info in a drawing and I got a Rainmate. The guy was really nice but the time he stayed was ridiculous. 3 hours just to show the vacuum and its properties. People have things to do. That's disrespectful.

Powerhead belt broken told me to buy s/parts for$15, used the powerhead a handful of times. I own dyson stick vacuum and kirby and had no problem with the belt till now. Think twice b4 u buy. Unit is overpriced and warranty is **.

The Rainbow vacuum distributor showed yesterday up for what was a 20-30 minute demonstration. Two hours later we purchased the newest Rainbow Vacuum. I finally got to try it today and it did not meet the hype. Our home is 80% hard floors and it failed. Unless you repeatedly go over the same spot it is no better than a broom. It appeared to be great on carpets and did provide a nice clean smell from the water reservoir but just isn't for hard floors. The other issue is that it is 20 lbs. My wife and I each have some medical issues and lugging this up and down stairs is a chore. If you own a 1 story wall to wall carpeted ranch-style home this is a GREAT investment. Otherwise think it through.

This exceptional cleaning system blew my mind!!!! I don't care what anybody says! It purifies the air it cleans like no other machine I've ever seen. If you thought your house was clean, think again. Your house isn't clean until you've used the Rainbow cleaning system trust me!!!! DON'T LISTEN TO THE NEGATIVITY ABOUT THIS MACHINE, THEY'RE JUST HATERS!

Somehow, some way like many I've read on here was conned into Purchasing a Rainbow vacuum. The next day I woke up and realized it was a horrible mistake because I can't afford at over $3000 vacuum. I've called Everyone I could call in order to try and return this vacuum. Yes it does lots of amazing things and it purifies your air. And there is a 10 year guarantee on it. However it did take me 6 months of blowing up the phone of the person who sold this vacuum to me To get my free air purifier. And the other Accessories for referring friends that did the demo.

This company is a huge waste of time. This product is horrible. Why? Because it never makes it to your house. They booked an appointment with me and never showed up. I rushed home, rearranged my day so that I can meet them for their presentation and they didn't show. Didn't call NADDA!!! After I posted a review on Facebook they done called me and stated that they called me to try and cancel and her excuse for not showing up was that she had to work all day. HUH?Extremely unprofessional and disrespectful of my time. Apparently they told my friend that referred me to them that they were going to give me a free unit with oils. I haven't heard or seen any of this and doubt I will. Don't waste your time with these people!!

I recently saw an ad for a free air purifier, so I inquired and set up an appointment for a demo (required to get free mini purifier. I was told it would take 1/2 hour to an hour. First lie. The salesman was in my house for more than three hours. I am a single woman who rents. I mention this because it will be pertinent information later in my review. When the salesman arrived, he came in with not only the mini purifier, but several other boxes. In them was the Rainbow cleaning system. His presentation was very scripted and came complete with the effects you’d expect from a veteran door-to-door salesman, which is basically what he was. He went through scuffing my carpet under bright light to see dust particles, he had me vacuum a 3 by 3 spot 100 times to show me how much direct remained, and was lifted by the Rainbow system afterward, etc.

Even though I had to give them a star they deserve 0. They try to make you book appts and it's nearly impossible. They leave the machine with you and tell you a bunch of bs then say, "Oh you didn't get financed" after a month of having the machine and say they have to pick it up. It's a vacuum not a air purifier and it's way over priced. Do not waste your money or the 3 hrs of them at your house after saying it would only take 30 min to a hr. Bad business. Highly do not recommend them.

Initial a friend posted about the Rainbow after she had bought one and advertised that anyone could get a free smaller air purifier. To get the free gift you had to sit through a product demo. The rep showed up and seemed very nice, set up the free air purifier and showed me how it worked. Then the real sales pitch started. He brought in the actual rainbow unit and started going over the features, vacuuming up dust and pet air with pieces of black fabric to show what was coming off the carpet. The whole presentation was extremely long- taking over two and a half hours. There was little chance for any me to talk, it was more like I was sitting through a very boring lecture and in fact any time I tried to talk I was cut off as the rep kept talking over me. I asked the price twice but it seemed like he wasn't able to get off script and only responded with 'its an investment.'

I purchased my product July 2018. It’s been amazing for my air and even help my son with his allergies. As long has you take care of the machine it’s works great. I recommend this to everyone I use. I love clean and I’m not too damn lazy to dump water.

As far as a sweeper it's a good sweeper. It does a lot of stuff but to me it is not worth the money. I bought one 3 months ago and for the money that you pay my wheel comes off won't stay on and being an older person the construction of it is not older friendly. You have to bend over and people with bad backs or hip replacements. It just sits too low and you have to keep bent over something that cost that much. It seems like they could reconstruct it to be a little higher. It's just a hassle. I would not buy it again. I might if I was younger but right now I wish I would have never bought it. It's a hassle to drag to put up. It's just not older friendly

Rainbow is a very good vacuum and I love the way the water filters the dirt and holes it and traps it but the Rainbow is also very bulky. Had to pull around by the hose. But it has a very good suction and it works well in construction and light construction. It is very overpriced. The Rainbow is hard to get around from room to room or it's really well on carpet and hardwood and tile.

Had Rainbow for many years. Yes price is high. When I was doing a home remodeling project. I was using my home vac. A friend lend me a Rainbow. It vacuum out what my vacuum cleaner did not out of the carpet and it was the old plaster that I had to use a cement blade. Sold on Rainbow.

I wish the tank on my Rainbow was bigger. I wish that the attachments were available for purchase and not expensive. The shampoo attachments would be great to have as well. But I love my vacuum other than those issues right there.

It uses water as a filter so dust, dirt, germs and bacteria are drowned in the water rather than being blown back into the air by dry filter vacuums. It never loses cleaning ability due to clogged filter. Your home smells fresh and clean every time.

Well bought this yesterday after an excessively lengthy demo. Got up early after running the air cleaner all night and the house smelled fresh, the water had hair and white sediment, which I can only guess to be dust and dander. We have 4 animals, 3 adults and a child in our home, and live in the windy desert, with a pet door. Life is dirty and dusty in our home. Our carpet is less than two years old, and of reasonable good quality but looked dirty and not soft at all. My husband and I were discussing wood floors.

I entered a drawing at a local fair to win an air filter. I got a call a few days later from someone telling me that I would be hand delivered the filter. I was asked if I would be willing to watch a product demonstration and I agreed. We set a date and time that was manageable for me and the rep came to my house. Though it was ultimately a sales pitch, I was still told it would be a product demonstration beforehand and I appreciated he was upfront about it.

I had a salesperson come to my house speaking of how amazing this product was. In reality, the Rainbow is the biggest waste of money. The salesperson was unbelievably pushy until I said yes. He then ran my credit and told me that I would not have to worry about the payment at all. I now owe over $4,000 for the product! Within 2 weeks I told him I did not like the air purifier/vacuum and I wanted to return it (I used it once still to this day). He told me I was unable to return the item. On top of that, he took my old vacuum. I was infuriated. It smells absolutely terrible, though we have washed it out so many times, and the job it does is unnoticed. I without a doubt would NEVER encourage anyone to buy this product.

I bought a Rainbow vacuum cleaner and all of the attachments and fragrances in the summer of 96. I absolutely loved the smell of a clean house and the red apple fragrance after using the 'air wash' feature. It was a pain to put together... You couldn't just switch it on and nip round the living room with it but the results were better than anything else I had ever owned or tried. Your house FELT clean. I paid just under 1000 GBP for it. The only problem I had was in the UK some years later the distributor disappeared and I was unable to get it serviced or get parts for it such as belts or fragrances. I retired it in 2010 and bought a Kirby, then a Dyson and currently a Shark Lift-Away. The Shark is great, the others less so but none of them are a patch on the Rainbow. I would buy another in an instant if I could get support and back up here in the UK.

Had someone come to do a demo. I liked the free air purifier. She gave the demo and the person on her ride along was pushy and made remarks to make my husband and dans I feel guilty for not wanting to buy one. My husband is a disabled vet who was in a serious motorcycle accident 3 months prior and was just returning back to work so we explained we were hesitant. They did a good demo and told me I could order and do ride alongs to get it free. So we talked later and since we have allergies and my husband has sleep apnea, PTSD nightmares we decided to try it. I am. Not at all happy with it. It doesn't seem the purifier is working and I cannot carry the vacuum up and down steps with a shoulder injury.

Not worth $3000. Like someone else on this site, I normally don’t fall for a con! Must have been having a senior moment that day! When the sales woman demonstrated the machine she left it sitting on the empty box the entire time and it was really quiet. Once she left and I moved it to the family room it was so noisy, loud whining noise, I recorded it and when she stopped by my part time job, I played it for her and she acted surprised that it was so loud. She said she’d check their warehouse and see if they had another one.

I have been having a horrible time trying to get someone to contact me about what is going on with my account. No one want's to help that is in charge. They do not reply to emails or callbacks. I am beginning to think it is all a scam. I have done my part in "selling" 3 Rainbows. I have called every number I have been given and found. I am so disappointed in the way the service is. WHAT CAN I DO???? Who can I call?

I did a demo for a free RainMate and was never told it was for a vacuum. When the people who were an acquaintance of mine from a previous job arrived I was told we were waiting for someone else that would be doing the demo. Which I was never told anyone else would be coming with them. Once the demonstrator showed up things went downhill. The conversation was very inappropriate especially in front of children. Luckily they weren't mine. So the inappropriate conversation continued the whole demo not just by my acquaintance and her husband but by the demonstrator as well. We are all adults so my husband and I didn't say anything and did joke as well at times but we both felt as though the man doing the demonstration and representing the Rainbow Company should have put a stop to the conversation and it wasn't just the conversation but inappropriate actions as well.

It saddens me to see all these sad stories of bad distributors. The Rainbow is a great product. So advice from me would be the Rainbow is great but check the reputation of the sales rep. And office in which you are purchasing from. These are all horror stories and the region I'm in does not work like that. A lot of these reviews are not true of the Rainbow itself. Not all the offices operate like this. I know none of it is true in our office. We can show anyone. Your attachments get shipped. Earning your Rainbow for free is possible! You do get more free stuff for booking more shows.

We purchased our Rainbow 3 months ago, and it has been the best decision we have made for our family! First off, it acts as an air purifier 24/7 which means I clean up a FRACTION of pet hair (I have a long haired dog and cat) from the floors than I used to. Secondly, my carpeted stairs and microfiber couch have never been cleaner. The stairs feel fluffy and squishy instead of matted and intertwined with black dog hair. Being able to easily clean all of my hardwood floors & baseboards, dust my electronics, pictures and shelves with one machine and with no chemicals has made me feel so grateful!

I was so excited about getting the demo at my home. It was scheduled for a bit after 7pm since I got off work at 7 that evening. I waited till 7:30 before I started calling. Turns out that we were never entered into the system. Stuff happens! I wasn't upset. We rescheduled for 4 days later. I started discussing the rainbow system with my adult son. I decided that I wanted to look into doing demos myself. I'm a great salesperson and really it's a rainbow they are awesome! I just received a text from the lady that was going to do our demo. It says that they won't be able to do or demo because are don't meet the CEO qualifications. I responded... which are? You must be a couple, both be employed, and own your home.

My mother bought a rainbow back in the early 80s, it still works, I bought her a new tank and a brush for her motorized head and it has less options than mine, but still does a great job. My neighbor bought one and I agreed to let them do a demo and told them I wasn't buying it. The guy came over and was as plastic as they come. He told me putting ice cubes in it would drop the room temperature 3 degrees, I told him, "No, it doesn't have a condenser. That ain't happening." He went on and on about the air purifier and kept banging this light on the floor. I kept telling him, "Move on, I've seen everything you have shown me so far."

We bought our Rainbow cleaning system in August 2018. Within 24 hours I could already feel the difference in the air. If you have ever researched home air purifiers then you know they are pricey and a lot of maintenance costs over the lifespan. The Rainbow uses cold tap water as its filter!!! You never have to buy another filter!!! I was quoted $2000 to put air scrubbers in both our HVAC systems and those only cleaned the air. Not our home.

I had a similar experience to someone else on this site. We entered for a free air purifier at a local home expo. A couple of days later, we got a call that we had won. The woman on the phone was very nice and wanted to arrange a time for them to come drop the purifier off at our house. We ultimately spoke 2-3 times on the phone in setting up and confirming the appointment, and she clearly stated that 1. We would not be asked to purchase anything, only give a positive review if we like it. 2. They just wanted to go over how to operate it since it's an appliance. She also stressed that the air purifier is so great and can clean the air in a home up to 2200 sq. feet.

I've never been conned into anything in my life. Until now. I don't know if it was low blood sugar, early onset senility, or straight up sleep deprivation from raising 5 kids, but I got taken. My wife and I agreed to buy something for which we had absolutely no use - our house is a construction site. My wife "won" a "free" mini Rainbow unit if we would sit through a demo. The sales rep came out and did the demo. She did a good job, was very convincing and nice. The Rainbow unit itself is intriguing and makes some interesting claims. However, there is no way it is worth $3000 - yes $3000!

I can't believe I've lived with below par vacuums and air filters my whole life! I absolutely love my new Rainbow Environmental Cleaning system. I can't stop vacuuming and now I can taste the sweetness in the air of Maui. My husband's asthma is 100% better. Rain makes his worse (mold spores), and with these last few rain storms we've had here it didn't even affect him. I highly recommend this cleaner.

I have a 22 year old Rainbow. It is the best vacuum I’ve owned. It’s works just as good today as the day I purchased it. I’ve also purchased a Miele - and honestly it doesn’t even come close to the suction of my Rainbow. The only thing that I would like better is buying a new Rainbow!

I purchased my Rainbow in August. Part of the purchase promo was free gifts. The sales rep promised that he would bring them by within 2 weeks and the other gift would be mailed from the company. I never received them. I contacted the sales rep several times, and wasn't able to get ahold of him until December. He then promised me that he would get it to me by the end of the week. Still waiting. I've contacted the company and the sales rep. I will be disputing the charge now. I love the product, but I don't want to drop thousands of dollars on a company that treats its customers like that. DO NOT PURCHASE FROM THEM.

I agreed to do the program to get my Rainbow for free. I was willing to do the work to get it because it is a great product and I do love it. But the more you work hard to get done it seems like the Rainbow staff is working hard against you to make sure you don't get everything finished. When I would complete each step, it was like pulling teeth to get the stuff I earned. I have save multiple messages between me and the reps where they promise to get your stuff to you and never do. I finally after 2 months of messaging and calling, I finally got the rest of my stuff!

Purchased the rainbow 12/22. We were very impressed with the Rainbow the 1st few days, but by the 10th business day we realized the machine was not for our family and reached out to the distributor (1/6). For a 4k machine you would think they would stand behind the quality (they do not). You only have three days to return it. (The distributor did not disclose that.) And the contract you sign with the finance company does not state that it is also the contract with the seller. Do your research before purchasing Their score on BBB is an F (we now know why).

The Rainbow vacuum is a great product, over priced but great product. It needs to come with more attachments and a long reach extension for the money they ask. The only way to buy one is outright, demand a new one out of still in the new box, inspect it and then pay for it. Shannon was the gentleman who sold us ours. He presents the product well, he is only concerned with the sale, has no follow up and flat out misleads you. If you are in the market check online. There is one made in Canada for half the price. Looks just as good. Search out Sirena vacuum, Quantum vacuum, or just search Rainbow vacuum competition. Best of luck!

I was at a home show in Spokane WA and I filled out a free Rainbow Rainmate II air cleaner giveaway paper. A few weeks later I got a call from the saleswomen named Rhonda saying I won. She said she would come to my house to drop off the air cleaner and demonstrate the product. We agreed on a date and time and the last minute she texted me to cancel but would get back with me. She never did get back with me. This company isn't trustworthy and they play a con on you. Do not buy anything from them, run and run away fast from them.

There is no other vacuum that can clean better than the Rainbow Vacuum. I do not care about the weight of the machine or the time it takes to set it up. After using the air filter to add in a nice scent to my home then vacuuming, I am always so happy to empty out that canister of the filth that I have removed from my home and am amazed that all that filth was in my space. My husband and I live with 4 dogs and all those feet can track in a lot of dirt and deposit dander and fur far and wide. No one would know a dog is in my house after I clean. Best money I ever spent on an appliance. It cleans pillows, mattresses, dog beds, walls, floors: tile and carpet and I use it to clean my car. There is not a surface in my home that has not been cleaned with my Rainbow Vacuum.

This vacuum is an inconvenience if you make a small mess because you have to fill it with water when you start and dispose the water every time. Then you have to wash the container every time. Not worth 3000 dollars. Cheaper would be better.

If you're gonna get it pay for outright. Don't do the "great/easy program". It's a great machine to have, but too bulky, too heavy & not convenient, you can get many other great machines for way LOWER price. Back to what I was saying about the program, don't do it! There are so many hoops you have to jump through to get it for so called free but it's really not free in the end. You'll be paying about $300. None of the workers actually know what the contract says about what is eligible and what is not.

I bought my Rainbow Vacuum a couple months ago and I could not be happier with it. Yes I agree that the price is a little high, however, I could not put a price on my health and the health of my family, it has done exactly what it said it would do. It cleans my hardwood floors until there is nothing left, it cleans carpet, tile. I vacuum my mattress once a month with it, I clean the air. I have 9 people living in my house and we have to vacuum a lot, it is always does the job. I love the fact that I can take it apart and clean it. I’m not putting dirt and dust back into my house, once I’m done cleaning and cleaning my rainbow, the next time I clean there is nothing coming out of my vacuum to be put back into the air, there is no bad smell. I don't dust anymore because there is no dust in my house from the vacuum.

I’ve had five Rainbows. They all still work. The reason I have so many is because I just wanted a newer model. I gave one to my mother who uses hers on a daily basis. I also gave two to friends and they love using it also. They work very well and last forever. In my opinion it is worth it if you have the money to spend.

I had a rep come to my home who was a nice young lady who informed me on Facebook that she was just trying to get her machine for free and needed a couple more people to view the product to get hers free. I agreed to help her but informed her by phone that I would not be purchasing anything. She assured me that wasn't a problem with her so we made the appointment. Now to set the stage for you, I grew up with a Rainbow, my mother has had the same one for about 35 years now and still uses it to this day. I actually thought the company had gone out of business because there were no ads for them and I never saw one at a store. Plus without repeat customers how could they stay in business?

The salesman, John ** was great! He took the time to show me everything this vacuum can do. I Love my Rainbow! I don’t even mind cleaning now because it does so much to make it easier. Thanks John!

I had a Kirby. Loved it. Now own a Dyson and we Love it. I'm always cleaning the filter and canister. My Dyson picks up a lot. Believe me. I seen The Rainbow, it's bulky And way too expensive not to include all the attachments. $3000 is way too much money for just the vacuum. The attachments are another $1000... I'm Not impressed. And the salesmen was annoyed when we turned down the sale. I asked that if he goes to 6 demos that vacuum is used 6 times until it's sold...left at someone's home. He said no he brings a new one each time. Lol. Liar. The box is mangled. If you are being left a demo of anything in your home after the demo...you're being sold a demo. There's no way Rainbow salespeople bring a new vacuum every time to demos. You are not getting new one for $3000. You're getting the demo. He left mad. Oh well.

My ex and I bought the Rainbow D2 in 1983 (I got it in the divorce). I used it for getting rid of stains in the carpet to general cleaning the house. I also used it to clean the air in my house. I never got it serviced and up until a week ago, it was amazing. I had it for 35 yrs and it finally died. The money spent 35 yrs ago ($1200.00) was well worth every penny. I wish I could afford another one, but I guess I'm going to have to go to some crappy bag or bagless vacuum.

First things first, we did not purchase the product as we were not dumb enough to be manipulated by these salesmen who think themselves as clever, and it's so easy to see through this multi-marketing pyramid scheme. This whole thing started when my father's coworker asked my dad if he can demo this product and as a token of appreciation give us a 3 day 2 night trip. My dad reluctantly agreed since they worked together.

They came to my house. We had a lot of fun. Demo left me saying why haven't we been using water as a filter all along. I did the program and earned my Rainbow for free. 100% USA made! No regrets! The difference in our home is huge. Allergies... What allergies? For those of us allergic to dust... HUGE difference. I don't have to dust near as often. My carpet is softer. MULTIPLE uses for the Rainbow. Well worth the money.

Yes you do have to clean and take care of it but why spend the money on something if you are going to trash it? We use our Rainbow vacuum everyday and I am pleased with how well it cleans our beds, carpets and furniture. My husband and children have asthma and allergies to dust. We previously had a HEPA dry vac, I was reluctant to get rid of our over $2500 vacuum so the sales rep said she has one she can trade in for me so could keep both vacuums. All in all I am pleased and pleasantly surprised by our new Rainbow vacuum and haven’t wanted to go back to our old one. I like that we can make a higher payment to pay off faster. All the attachments work well, we live in a condo and can smell the fragrances throughout our home. I’ve already got 8 people to demo but we only need 5 for the pot set.

People works hard for their money. Don't let someone steal it. Why pay Rainbow for 3000 dollars when you can get one with only 1/5 of the price and even better quality? Google Sirena, you will be amazed how well this Sirena vacuum is made. One of the Rainbow sales came to my door, tried to push me to purchase. I refused. Imagine what $3000 can buy, do you wanna spend it on something only worth $300? The sales told me that the motor and Circuit board is only cost $200 to replace 'cause I asked what happens when warranty expires. She did not even realize it, she just told me how much this thing is really cost. Motor and PCB should be the most expensive part of a vacuum, and it only cost $200, retail price. You can figure it now. Keep your hard working money safe, spend it on something worth it.

I had someone come to my house and demonstrate a Rainbow Vacuum air purifier. I thought it was a great product. After having a product for a couple of months I realized this product does not do what it says it is supposed to do. I clean it like I'm supposed to and I'm very unsatisfied with it. I run it 24/7. My return vent and I can't smell any of the fragrances throughout my house. I can't tell any difference in the air quality in my house. And their customer service is terrible. I had a guy call me back and tell me there's nothing they can do. He was sorry that I wasted his time. I will never purchase from Rainbow again and I hope you don't either. And one thing they don't tell you is that you have to take it apart and clean out all the gunk that gets built up in there.

I had a salesperson knock on my door and tell me that I can have one room cleaned free of charge if I just allow them to do a demonstration. An hour and half later I still did not have a cleaned room and I had to threaten to call the cops to get her out of my house! She sat on my floor and kept pushing this $2500 vacuum on me and each time I explained I not only wouldn't spend that kind of money but I also don't have it, she would drop the price and spend 20 more minutes trying to convince me that I had to have it! Her last ditch effort was when she told me she needed to sell one more in order to win this trip to the Caribbean and how she and her husband never got a Honeymoon and she was going to do me a favor and finance it for me and my monthly payments would only be around $60 a month and only for 5 years!

BAD EXPERIENCE/NOT HAPPY WITH PRODUCT: Does anyone know what will show on your credit report if you have not made the first payment on the vacuum, and were not able to complete the "knock it out" program to get it for free?? I cannot get an answer at the Rainbow Store here...and no reps will help me.

I love the vacuum cleaner and one of my favorite things is the trade in value it holds. When I looked for a new one just to upgrade the machine they gave me 800.00 credit towards the new one and I got the shampooer free and a clean air machine. I thought that was a great deal. I use my Rainbow for everything, sucking cold ashes out of my wood stove, blowing leaves off the deck. I clean my cars with it. It's like my shop vac without all the filters to clean and I like that it is American made too.

Just got my Rainbow yesterday... I'm loving it!! Been cleaning all day with it today and already smell the difference in my home. I have an English bulldog and three teenagers but you'd never know it now. My son and I both have allergies and asthma and this is already helping just by using the free RainMate that we got at night. Plus I got one for my son's room.

We actually love our Rainbow. We have told many people around us about it and regardless of them willing to do a show, suggested they check it out on their own. Unfortunately, I will no longer be advocating for this company. When we agreed to do the showing for a friend and got our own Rainbow, we were told, like everyone else, we had to do 12 showings and two people had to keep the Rainbow. We were also told that the reimbursement check would be available to us 8 weeks after completing the program. We are currently at week 10 and no one has communicated to us about the completion of the program or the reimbursement for the product. I finally reached out via email and after several days received an email saying they outsource the approvals and have no way to know where they are in the process.

The Rainbow is great really. However, we entered the program and sold like 7 out of the 12 demos we did. 7! Unfortunately, the fine print stated we HAD to have only 4 renters for the demos. The rest had to be homeowners. So, even with our 7 sold. We didnt not qualify for completing the program. They waited 2 months, until yesterday, to tell us this info. Now, we have 1 week to find 1 more demo, who fits their demographics. Even if they buy the vacuum it won't count towards our program unless they fit into the specifications.

I recently won a RainMate in a drawing and the salesman called to tell me I won and he wanted to bring the unit to my house. He ended up bringing a Rainbow vacuum and asked to demonstrate it for me. He and the girl were super nice! I went ahead and sat through the demonstration and it seemed like a really nice unit. 3 hours later I decided to go ahead and purchase it. I put a $100 down and financed the rest at about $2800. That was on a Thursday night.

I first owned a D2 model, which worked well, however the humid air went up through the motor and after 10 years we chose to replace it with the D3, which was the first to have the air exhaust outside the motor. My first wife introduced me to the Rainbow, I was skeptical, but was pleased with the performance. I started selling Rainbows. When my first wife died and someone else had to have her vacuum I didn't have the money to replace it so I used the best I could afford.

First, we agree to do this show, ok whatever. The sales girl had pretty much just began, and is going through an obviously "rehearsed" description, and experiences. After the show, we agreed to buy it, doing the other shows to pay it off. I have Asthma, my kids have allergies, so I thought, "If this helps everyone, then awesome". Before I signed the contract, I asked several questions. One was, "what if we can't get enough people to do the shows?". Also, "what if the two people don't buy it?". We were told that if we meet half of the program, they would help and give us the first part of the money, and we would have to pay the balance.

Many here are confusing the three different aspects to a Rainbow vacuum. The Rainbow Vacuum Itself - A wonderfully engineered, powerful, easy-to-use vacuum cleaner that is better than 90% of other vacuums at cleaning the air it sucks in before it blows it back into your room. The vacuum, however, is not for everyone. It requires basic maintenance EVERY TIME you use it, which, many people will not take the time to do. If it is maintained and care for properly, it will provide many, many years of excellent service. Is it worth $3,000? No way. Buy one on eBay, Craigslist, or FB Marketplace, take it to a shop and have them service it, and you've paid half the price for a tremendous machine, avoiding the rigmarole of an in-house salesman.

Long story short my husband and I did a home showing of the rainbow vacuum in 2016. We liked the vacuum and told them the payments was too high and the price we were told they would reduce the price and payment and give us two months free. After a few days of using it we figured it was too heavy to take up and down stairs and called them to get it. Landmark refuses to stop asking for payments for the vacuum and has damaged or credit.

I’ve had my Rainbow machine nine years and it is the best unit out there. The representative had me vacuum my carpet with my Oreck vacuum which I had high confidence and used weekly. Then, she used the Rainbow and I was embarrassed to see the dirt, hair and grime that was in the water, and the odor was horrible. I purchased the Rainbow and it has kept my off-white carpet clean, and extended the life of my carpet. The naysayers are all wrong about this product and hopefully will catch up with the truth about the Rainbow.

Well, I thought the Rainbow was going to be a good idea. Seems good with lots of great things to offer for my declining health. Only to discover that this has many downfalls. Vacuuming is almost impossible with vacuuming with water. As you pull the hose water spills everywhere and then gets stuck on the cord. Throw the dirty water down the toilet she tells me yes then I'm hiring a plumber to come and fix my Plumbing because everything backed up in my basement. Bad choice obviously. Water spills and I have laminate flooring. Now I have bubbles in my flooring from the water. Try carrying that thing up and down the stairs. As I already said I have health issues. It's already challenging to vacuum. Nevermind carry a big heavy thing with water in it. I feel like it's one of my worst purchases I've ever made. Would never recommend. I totally wish I could send it back.

I am really surprised to read all the negative comments here. I have a Persian rug which was loaded with years of cat hair... No other vacuum can touch the cat hair... NONE. I had to scrub the carpet by hand with a brush... So, that is a great thing, to have the Persian rug clean again. And the attachments allow you to use the unit on hardwood or tile. And I have a big job to clean the cement floor in my basement and then repaint the floor, and there is an attachment for that. Plus it takes the allergens out of the air. All this by using water to filter out the gunk. No more vacuum bags to purchase, only empty and replace the water.

I am so happy and so amazed having purchased Rainbow (complete cleaning system) even I am not really how to pay in installment basis. But you know what, I thought they are lying when they told me I can have it for free. True, I have now for free in the amount of 3200 because on their amazing demo program. Believe me! Not only that I, gained more or less 4,000 dollars worth of free gift from them, like, 12 piece cookware, 22 piece cookware and an Aquamate or a shampooer. Believe, it is really true.

We purchased the unit at a cost of $3000. Interest rate too high and the product does not hold up well. A total waste of your money. The machine is big and bulky; not easy to use. Very labor intensive; taking apart to empty water from unit. I personally would not recommend this company or their vacuum cleaner system to anyone. It is a Big Disappointment!

My complaint is not about the vacuum performance, but about the awful, and I do mean awful, design. I am in the middle of vacuuming right now and just dumped the stupid thing over and am taking a break before I throw it in the garbage. Did the product designers ever use this thing? On one end, you have the electrical cord. On the other, the hose by which you must drag the machine by as you vacuum. I constantly have to stop to adjust the direction I am pulling the hose because if you change directions the cord will now be in front of the wheeled carriage and you’ll run over it. The damn body of the vacuum is constantly bashing into corners, furniture, or getting hung up on the edge of a rug, and instead of rolling over it, nine times out of ten, it will turn over. You’re not supposed to let it do that! Ugh! I’ve not used this vacuum once without getting frustrated beyond words.

Everything these days is way overpriced. We had a great display of this product in our home. Nobody pushed this product on me or made us feel pressured to purchase it in any way. Amber was excellent at instructing us on this item. We love our Rainbow. My home and the air in my home is now clean all the time thanks to our Rainbow. This product has cut way down on my cleaning chores. There is literally no more dust and dirt in the air inside my home. The rainbow will save you a lot of time from normal dusting and cleaning. We love this product and I am very pleased with this purchase. No more allergies! It’s priceless! Thank you Rainbow! ❤️

I attended a town craft fair and entered a few draws. 2 months later I got a call from a guy saying I won something and he'd come to my house to show me how to use it. He said it would take an hour to an hour and a half depending how many questions I had. Skeptical, I asked point blank if I had to sign up for anything or pay for anything. He said, “No, no, you just won our draw and so I'll bring the gift to your house!" At our appointment time, he shows up with HUGE amounts of stuff. He pulled out our "gift" - the mini whatever, put some water in it and told us to plug it into our bedroom. That took all of 2 minutes. He was there for THREE HOURS. He showed us the bigger system, and went page by page through the business plan and then literally wanted us to hand over a $4,000 cheque right there or sign up to sell them. WHAT. You came to my house to give me a gift... you lied about what this was as well as how long it would take.

Never ever get into Rainbow System product demonstration. They are truly scam. They performed product demonstration at our house mentioning the benefits and its (Air filter/Vacuum) performance characteristics. Salesman will push you the wall to sign the sale contract with their misleading information about their product. You won't be able to cancel the sale and you have to pay $3000 for a vacuum that is no better than my any regular vacuum.

Scam scam scam. Do not be tricked into this program. I did what they call the Go4it program and you were suppose to do 12 shows, and have 2 people to keep the machine. Which I sold 4 machines. I completed the program and at the end I was told that I did not qualify for the program due to I did not have 2 that had A1 credit. The 2 people that keep the machine must have A1 credit, or they will not qualify for you. They want you to sell but you do not get all the details. It is not brought to your attn when you do the shows. They want to keep this information hidden. Then when you question them about it all they say is you signed the contract. You are responsible.

We “won” a free air scent machine from doing a survey for a friend. The guy got here a little before 7pm and didn’t leave until 11:30pm. He started the evening by telling us about himself and how his now girlfriend calls him a player because he keeps several women’s robes in his closet all in different sizes so that he can accommodate any size women that comes to his home. Not to mention the endless stories about how he is a survived a completely torn aorta, brain surgery, a massive heart attack and he fights sumo wrestlers because of his road rage. Oh and he kicked in the car door of a thug that was waving a gun at him. It took him nearly 2 hrs to start the demo on the contrapment. We had to sit through him letting us know that even though we have smoke detectors everywhere that we was in fact going to die in a fire and that our best chance was to just sleep with our doors closed and pray that the firefighters will find us.

Back away as fast as you can from this company. The manager Daryl just told me they do not want me or people like me as customers. They failed to "thoroughly" diagnose my Rainvac Rainbow machine's issues and Daryl has blamed me. To say Daryl is rude would be a gross understatement. He told me he could tell by my demeanor what kind of person I am and he wasn't going to be taken by a guy like me. If you're looking for abuse, go to Rainvac and deal with Daryl. The $260.00 I spent with them was a waste. Avoid at all costs. All the negative online reviews spring from the well of truth.

So I won a free thing at a home and garden convention but to get it I had to sit through a demonstration of a vacuum cleaner, it looked good so we signed up to it agreeing to pay $83 a month. All signed up there and then. A few days later apparently the credit check (that hasn't been run according to our credit files) failed and in order to keep it we had to pay a further $500 upfront. Well the agreement has no mention of this so we refused, but then they refused to accept the $83 payment. A few calls and we got sick of hearing from them, so we took some legal advice and because their contract is so shoddy, we were advised to stick to the original agreement and just note when they refused payments, so we told them we would only communicate in writing and sent a letter detailing our complaint.

This company is a scam and will say anything to get their commissions. We had Amanda ** come do a demo and she told us if we could get 4 friends to agree to a demo (no obligation to purchase) that we would get a friend 3 night trip. We specifically asked her about the qualifications as the referral sheet says they need to be homeowners and typically families/couples. She said that didn’t matter because they sell to everyone regardless of marital status and homeowner status. We, ourselves, rent so we believed her. We have been trying to follow up for a month regarding our referrals because you also only have 24 hrs to fill out the referral sheet to qualify for the trip and extra bonuses. We gave her the sheet the day she did our demo so within hours. We have had 4 friends do the demo so we should be getting our free trip but now she is saying some of our referrals don’t qualify because they rent, they are single males, etc.

ONE THING I WILL SAY, THE VACUUM works great ONCE I've prepared it. The "sales" show went so fast, I did not have time to really pay attention to all he had to do to use it, I was shocked how much "yuck" was coming out of my carpet, BUT... After two pinched nerves and being on my back and the expense of doctors and prescripts and the pain to use it ever after is a struggle, I would NOT have purchased it! There are many features that they need to upgrade, but for now... a "1" is all I can give since we are paying sooo much for pain! I'd rather have to vacuum 3 times a day with our OLD vacuum than full with this mess to clean it out.

Rainbow vacuum cleaners are in my book the best. You can treat pillows for allergy and I love the way it picks up everything. To have it trap it in water for me is awesome.

I really love that with the Rainbow the dirt is sucked up into a bowl of water instead of a bag with the remainder being reintroduced to the air. All of the dirt goes into the water bowl. You simply dump the water bowl when you are done vacuuming. It can also be used as an air purifier with different oils in the water, it can be set on low to continuously purify the air if you will.

If the product was as revolutionary as they claim it is, the owners of the company would sell it on Amazon and make billions and not have to pay employees. Just like Amway or Herbalife, they rely on pushy salesmen coming to your home to sell you the product. Ask yourself this, how much do you think it costs for the Rainbow to be made? Maybe $50 or $100 at most. But they are trying to make you buy it for $3000. Crazy! Scam scam scam.

I don't understand the complaints on here. It sounds like y'all had some bad salesmen in your house for sure. It's a great company that's been around since 1936. The power nozzle is not separate it all comes with the Rainbow. They last for 40+ years and it's all American made and it actually works. It's taken people off of Inhalers and gets rid of allergies in the home. Now if you don't have allergies or asthma then the vacuum part is fantastic as well. It actually does what you buy it to do. I can't go through the whole demonstration on here or anything but for real if you have any complaints or questions about the price just comment on here and I can answer any questions you have about the product.

Always brush its teeth when finished. This minor maintenance task will add years to the vacuum's lifespan. The initial cost is well worth the expense. Put this on your wedding registry first.

I was doing some remodeling in my home and it was dust everywhere from cutting plaster. Tho, I tape the area off. Still a lot of dust. I had a vacuum cleaner but friend lend me a Rainbow and it did a better job and held the dust in the water bowl. Been using Rainbow for years. It is on the pricey side like Kirby. It also serve as a shampooer and has a set up for filtering the air too.

My Rainbow Vacuum unit is very old, but can still suck the fuzz off a peach. Thought about getting a newer model, but the saying around here is "use what you got".

Rainbow Vacuum is the only vacuum that cleans the air as well as any surface. During the Northern California nearby Wildfires the air was filled with smoke for at least two Weeks. The Water filter That comes with the Rainbow Vacuum saved our Breath & Lungs.

When it comes to the Rainbow, it has changed my life. The money I get to save due to the machine, plus the health benefit of it is absolutely amazing. No more allergy medicine, no more itching eyes or sneezing within my own home. Being certified by the asthma and allergy foundation is to me, far and beyond a qualified product. People can complain about a pushy salesman, the price or the programs that they have, but aside from maybe a bad experience, the product is amazing. Give Rainbow a fair and open chance to change your life.

A lady came to our door advertising asking if we were interested in an air purification system. We have 2 large dogs, a toddler and I was pregnant with my 2nd child so we were very interested. She demonstrated how the Rainbow E series black worked by vacuuming our mattress, and having my husband use our vacuum on the carpet in a small area. After my husband vacuumed the area with at least 7 passes on the carpet, she went over the same area with the Rainbow. It pulled all kinds of dirt our vacuum left behind. She vacuumed the blinds, pictures, and even demonstrated the carpet cleaning attachment on a red punch stain on the carpet. It had been there for years, but the Rainbow pulled it right up. I didn't like that I couldn't negotiate the price, but we bought it anyway.
